Newcastle sign four year shirt deal with ''Wonga''
Gene_Clark replied to Holden McGroin's topic in Newcastle Forum
It's all a smokescreen of righteous indignation & pointless, posturing hot air; Blackpool & hearts have Muslim players, they wear the shirts. Wonga may be legal usurers of questionable ethics, who undoubtedly profiteer from those in straitened circumstances, but it is hard to sympathise with anyone who borrows from a company who are upfront about their simply astronomical interest rates. Tough on poverty; tough on the causes of poverty would be a better idea all round. Within days the media circus will have moved on to something else. Cynical i know, but you get used to it with Newcastle United..... -

Regardless of the terms of this new deal, our ground will always be the Sports Direct Arena to me -

it'll also be an excuse for another terribly boring article in "The Mag" by Tony Pearson -
an amiable, ordinary Geordie bloke, who is probably now in his mid to late 50s. back then, the Shepherd era was still ongoing, meaning 80% of his obsession on here hadn't even occurred. i don't actually remember him as being particularly right wing in those days; his Muslim obsession probably wasn't that pronounced either. i think he shows that NUFC fans are basically a microcosm of humanity as a whole; all views & all personality types represented, with the glue that sticks us together being the club we follow

Michael Crick has him in his sights; remember the last Tory chairman this happened to? A bad time awaits him
