    Newcastle is dead. Newcastle FC has become a conduit for the blood of the crucified to be washed through premier league football. Newcastle FC was sacrificed as a matter of international diplomacy. Sorry for your loss NUFC fans. Your club is dead and what remains is a lifeless corpse dressed up in way that makes Saudi look good. Any Newcastle fan celebrating NUFC is morally bankrupt and philosophically inept. You should be mourning.

      The only thing I’m mourning is your legohead manager using VAR as an excuse for that absolute beating Arsenal took. Absolute beating.

        Just because you can say things, doesn’t make it true. How low must your football IQ be to think Newcastle, who, petrified, sat all men behind the ball, gave an absolute beating to Arsenal lmao. It is literally impossible to give someone a beating, playing all men behind the ball.

    Just another reason to go 51/49 fan ownership with perhaps a rule that the 49 of corporate ownership must corporations based in the UK, with the owners being those who also live in the UK full-time. Just to ensure football clubs can’t be used as vehicles for blood washing and so American owners can’t use them as vehicles for profit. They’re too culturally important.

    Only way anything gets done about those owners is if everyone went nuts like they did over the whole super league thing.

    Doubt that will happen though because Sky Sports News ain’t telling everyone to be angry.

      We shouldn’t be sacrificing our culture at the altar of the economy. Some things are bigger than that.

        How has the culture been sacrificed in any way? There’s little to no negative impacts to the people of Newcastle, who’ll hopefully see some rare regional investment which the government rarely provides the North East.

        Since City’s investment, east Manchester saw loads of positive investment which is a positive for the people.

    I hen has football not been this way? Now it’s just under a different guise. No entertainment business has ever been a moral compass for society. Money is involved…corruption has always existed and will continue to exist.
