Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
aimaad22 replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
Absolutely love it. What the point of having money and a football club if you wont have fun with it? They've ticked pretty much all the boxes so far, including causing meltdowns amongst the media and other clubs. -
Oz's Big Balled Mags v Eddie Izzards Red Remoaning Eagles
aimaad22 replied to wykikitoon's topic in Newcastle Forum
Yup. Also his utility in midfield seems to be lost when he's put on the left. Barely had an impact in the last 15 min and may have something to do with how we lost control of the game in that time. A new number 10 and a top striker in front of Bruno with Joelinton covering would be very tasty for next season. Schar and Burn seem to have the defense sorted so splash all the cash upfront -

Cracking stuff this like. Seems like a fantastic atmosphere again too. Because it's just a goal in it cant help but feel that prick Zaha might get an equalizer, as he almost did a few minutes back. Bruno is class. You can tell we lack a bit of quality in the final third, a couple of decent additions up front and we could be looking at top 8 next season. Still can't believe we type things like that now. -

Holy crap Almiron What a goal! He should rile himself up more often, was getting into it with Zaha just a minute ago. -
How good a finish was that from Bruno though, one thing busting a gut to get to the box in the 95th minute but he actually had to angle it in the top right corner to get it away from the defender. Top class. Love the fact we can sit back and enjoy the last few games with no squeaky bums in sight and draw up fantasy 11s around Bruno & co. Maybe it gives Howe that little bit extra peace of mind to see what he exactly wants to build for next season. Incredible turnaround since December. Some of our performances, like today haven't been spectacular but you cant possibly ask for more from this squad.

We expect the Russians to somehow stand up to Putin, yet here in the US the man who practically killed off hundreds of thousands of Americans is getting ready for a second go at the Presidency. It get's a little easier to understand the madness you see abroad when you start looking closely at what's happening closer to home.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-15/errant-indian-missile-nearly-led-to-pakistan-retaliatory-strike Talking of double standards, if Pakistan or North Korea launched a nuclear capable missile by mistake there would be global uproar. Not a peep at this.

What this invasion has really outlined is the staggering hypocrisy on pretty much all sides. Western hypocrisy is nothing new, a few media outlets have run comparisons on the reaction to Ukraine versus Arab/Asian countries. After all a Nobel peace prize was handed out to the guy who routinely bombed Afghan weddings and schools. Every time I see a massive headline on CNN about a civilian casualty in the Ukraine, I can't help but think of the incidents of 'collateral damage' we heard about near everyday a few hours drive across the border from my home in Islamabad. And yet this time it's the 'other side' per say, whose nonchalant double standards bother me more. The representatives and public across many countries in Africa and Asia who seem to be taking glee in this 'challenge to the West'. Despite the horrendous casualties of this conflict. Shouldn't these people, having first hand witnessed what war criminals can do, be the first to jump to the defense of civilians in Ukraine? Apparently not. If we back Putin's senseless violence, then how are we any different from the people that cheered the Afghan/Iraq wars? Do the thousands of deaths in Palestine or Syria make the life of a single Ukrainian kid any less important? Absolutely fecking not is the only answer. Putin may be going up against 'the West' but does that make him any less of a madman? Simple questions a lot of people don't seem to be bothered with.

Absolutely this. If having a relationship with Saudi is such a concern where have all these questions been when the multitude of government, military and commercial deals took place and why aren't they, even now, directed at any of the authorities who actually have the power to do something about it? And then there's organizations like Amnesty International ffs. Is this what the sum total of their efforts comes down to when dealing with Saudi atrocities? Asking the operational manager of an indirectly associated company thousands of miles away to condemn them? It achieves nothing, it's a pathetic attempt at getting into the headlines. How about call out some of the real power figures in this manner as well? Here's a guy who actually just trying to do his job and do it right and he's become an easy target for fashionable bashing by people trying to look good in today's political climate. I think it's absolute rubbish. He is a public figure with responsibilities, yes, but they are limited to the team. If a player said something inappropriate I would expect Howe to say and do something about it, but not for people he has zero control over.

Unbelievably corrupt refereeing. There has to be some sort of post match process for people to look at this sort of shite and hold the refs accountable. But that would not benefit the big boys so...
