GOOD MORNING TOFFEES

JimmyJeffers · May 27, 2020

NUFC Blog are finding things interesting today. Like a school trip to some rock pools, they have found a particularly big crab hiding underneath a large pebble...

Fascinating comparison here. Let’s look at the FACTS:
MBS:
ordered death of journalist
Head of state of a country with appalling human rights record
Has repeatedly bombed Yemen.

Mike Ashley:
Spewed in a fireplace
Slept under a table
Has eggy farts
Makes geordies cry.

It’s close. Real close but I think Mike Ashley is slightly less tyrannical than MBS. Just because he didn’t sign Harry Kane doesn’t make him a war criminal!

lol lol lol lol Four laughing emojis for you! You crazy Stella addled slugs

WTO ‘rules Saudi Arabia behind beoutQ piracy’

The World Trade Organization has ruled that the Saudi Arabian government operates the beoutQ pirate television service, it has been reported. The WTO ruling is not due to be published until the middle…

You would imagine this should see the end of the Saudis, unless they decide it's time to stop being petty with Qatar and cancel BeoutQ.
Have to love the cheek in calling your pirate station BeoutQ in the 1st placelol

I, for one, have never read any negative comment on Mike Ashley's business practices. No siree.

With a bit of luck the Saudis will bin off buying Newcastle to instead focus on a new joint business venture to help Mike Ashley grow Sports Direct into a worldwide brand.

If his business practises ensure that Newcastle are kept in the doldrums and asset stripped while he wanders around Florida with his lard belly...

... well, they get a thumbs up from me.

Surely someone can send the Saudi Prince this and he'll just call it off anyway...

Kopites: "We're the biggest bunch of bellends in the leage!!"

Geordies : "Hold my Brown Ale..."

#cans when that Amanda Staveley buys the club without the Saudi backing and drives them to liquidation.

No more deserving set of fans to be found.

I thought they were going to have sacked Bruce by the end of May (appointed Poch) and made several eye catching signings? Or maybe all those who have egged this takeover on don't know what they are talking about?
