    Sleeping a lot better after our first win on Sat! We’re two wins off 14th place, you’re two defeats off being out of the play offs in League 3…I know where I’d rather be pal!

    You seem to struggle with the obvious. For a team that’s wins 1 game in 15, trying to catch up by winning 2 games and relying on others all getting beat is a bit of a tall order.

    I see from the news they have arrested one of your owners in France, for murder and dismemberment... Still you can bribe a couple of players in January to come and join your team... so nothing to see there.

    I strongly suspect that our time for goading our Friends to the North is just about over.

    Enough good quality players will be attracted by the money, and they will escape relagation to rebuild in the Summer.
    Evern if this proves over-optimistic, we have known for decades that Football is all about money, and their owners have rather more of that commodity than anyone else in the Prem.

    So, it might be time to stop taking the mick, and concentrating on 'you bought your success'.

    That's bollocks, Poly. This is nothing to do with the (blood) money . . . . it's about morals, and the skunks have sold their souls and any morals that they had :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Other clubs have been massively helped by new money, but the skunks have been taken (and I mean taken) by murderers, and the skunks are proud of it . . . . so 'time to stop the mickey taking' it is not :emoticon-0145-shake

    Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more.
    They will always be a laughing stock, and no amount of money will change that.
    Regardless of what they may (or may not!!) achieve, they will always be a source of ridicule.

    I believe they will be a greater source of amusement and ridicule the more money they spend, and even more people will be laughing at the rich torturing bastards <laugh>

    As others have said it doesn't matter how much they achieve they are bunch of hypocrites that were arranging protests against zero hour contracts and the mag mp was asking for parliament to look into Ashley and what he was doing to them. Now they are happy to ignore the human rights issue with the current lot and even trot out ****e like contact with us might change them, not sure if this is deniel or stupidity?

    Oh and what of the mp who was so against Ashley well she has went from condemnation for the Saudis and speaking against their human rights record in parliament to being glad the mags showed them lot at the Premier league and got the same Saudis in as owners of the club. I'm sure she still believes the same thing she did about the Saudis but in a typical self serving way of an mp she knows how to keep the votes coming and played up to her audience.

    So no there is no sign of them not being a joke yet.

    Undoubtedly many NE MPs are caught by what the phenomenon in the USA is called the Republican base. That is an appalling bunch of white racist, automatic weapon carrying voters that you cannot alienate if you want to be elected.

    Similarly NE MPs, whether red or blue cannot antagonise skunk voters if they want elected. So just like their craven counterparts in the USA, they dare not speak out about the vile (Trump) Saudi owners of the geordie nations football club.

    Unfortunately MPs also have no morals and think nothing of absolutely reeking the place out with hypocrisy when they do a complete u-turn just to keep the mags happy. Government, I'm not sure I would want to get off that gravy train either .

    What they need is an out of work manager. One steeped in the history of the game, maybe one who's had 1000 or more games in the dugout and knows how to conduct transfers and agent negotiations. If they could find a local lad who fits that criteria, even better.....

    Not the first time you have demonstrated how easy it is for the gullible to be content.

    You have players to watch, no doubt some shiny new, if semi interested ones to come, but they do not represent a club. Or the fans, as almost every other team does.

    They represent the interests of a psychopathic dictator, who has demonstrated his loathing for all things Western in the past, including the hapless but useful fools who now do his unpaid bidding.

    It is tragicomic to witness the gyratory evasions and self delusions allowing so many previously normal people to justify such a grotesque spectacle.

    But enjoy it if you are able to fool yourself. Get used to universal contempt, ridicule and loathing.

    You surprise me Gordon.

    Do you realy imagine that other owners of ALL of the other Clubs are as pure as the Driven Snow?

    Did Mr Abramovitch make his fortune by having a couple of paper rounds and saving his Kopeks every week.
    The Ruler of Qatar owns PSG.
    Qatar is has Sharia Law as the basis of it's legal system.
    Their track record around the next world Cup has had it's critics.

    There is a general asumption that the only way a 'nice' person can become a Billionaire is the have a Billionair parent and inherit.

    As for people turning against N/C because of the connection, I wonder.
    The Public have short memories it seems.
    For example The Ruler of Dubai is Britains, perhaps Europe's, leading Racing owner.
    But he has recieved very little public condemnation about his rather firm control of his family.
    People don't care, and the Fans of racing want to see his horses run.

    PSG Fans don't seem unduly concerned about what happens to Indian labourers in qatar.
    Chelsea Fans are not begging to find out if Mr Abramovitch is treating his workers well.

    AND, like or not, AND I DON'T, a majority of Sunderland Fans would have been happy had the Saudi money come our way intead of going up the A1.

    Personally I have no time at all for Man City, or PSG, as they too are de facto representatives of terrible regimes.

    There is absolutely no way of avoiding this truth. Qatar and Saudu Arabia are by some distance the worst of them. They are not interested in football, Western culture ( which they openly find abhorrent) , the countries in which they are attempting to embed themselves, or in being " liberalised ".

    They are, by all the civil standards we all grow up with, barbaric places, where persecution is accepted in law, where murder is sanctioned on a whim, where apartheid is practiced along with racism and extreme religious intolerance.

    What they are interested in is having lip gloss and make up applied to the head of a hideous gargoyle.

    No sensible comparison can be made between a backward, borderline evil state, and a billionaire, whatever their individual flaws nay be.

    And I for one, would never dream of setting foot again in The Sol, had we been kidnapped for the purposes of propaganda by Saudi Arabia.
