I was going to do a post criticising Saudi human rights abuses but now they indirectly own a football club I find myself strangely unable to say anything bad about them. Why, oh why, did the premier league allow this??!!

Yes, I am being sarcastic.

I'm pleased for the proper Geordies who are devoted to Newcastle United and wanted to get rid of Ashely who was strangling their club.

I have zero interest in those hypocritical Newcastle fans who have called our club every name under the sun since the takeover, but who are now lapping up exactly how we all felt 12 years ago under similar circusmtances.

Don't forget FFP boys! You're not going to start splashing the cash straightaway.

My thoughts too. Has one recently banging on about Etihad sponsorship etc yawn. However know a real supporter too.

Did you see Mike Wedderburn press that exact same point to the giddy Newcastle fan?

I’m happy for the Geordies, they’ve persevered stoically through some tough times and I think they deserve the good times that are heading their way.
I think that they’re good supporters and decent folk, as are the people of the Northeast generally.
I had drinks with some of them after we beat them in the 76 LC Final and for the rest of my life I’ve got along with any I’ve met just fine.
I know they have some nob head fans but IMO not at a worse ratio than we do.

I also like that the cartel of US owned clubs and their media stooges, with their often openly anti-Arab / casual racist ’oil-club’ slurs, will suddenly find that they’re up against another club with enough clout to tell them to fuck right off.
