Howay

Aye I heard that, total disgrace. I don’t see the point in covering it at all like this let alone for over half an hour while a game is on. The dickheads also keep saying the same shit, about how the fans are disruptive meanwhile them covering it is disrupting another game

So far I’ve missed over 20 minutes of our match because of them putting it on a tiny split screen. I don’t see the point, nothing is happening I don’t need to watch live coverage of these Manchester United fans walking around.

We look fucking crap today. We usually look fucking crap and depend on ASM, Wilson, or more recently Willock pulling something out the bag. Even games we win we’re basically never the side that controls the game. I can’t even see our game currently as the channel I’m watching is showing the protest at Manchester United in split screen and have been for 5 minutes now. Fucking disgraceful that this is football in 2021, there’s a live game on I’m trying to watch and I’m being forced to watch a tiny split screen version as they want to show some Manchester United fans.

What a total crock of shit, I don’t even understand why they make these weird posts even if there was any truth in it what does it matter? The mackems are a division 3 side and Man City are on the verge of another PL title. Saying they’re not a big club because most of their success has come in the modern era is absurd, titles now are just as meaningful as titles in the 50’s, saying they’re not is doing exactly what people attack the “football started with the PL” group about. Also as Strawb says they’ve always had a good support, it’s also a support base that had a fucking behemoth on their doorstep, imagine if Newcastle had Manchester United level of success and stature there’d be about 20 people at Sunderland games ffs.

He’s unbelievable man. Not just the fact he took a dog to a firework display but the fact he manages to try and shoehorn himself into this movement about abuse on social media platforms, completely missing the point that it’s mainly related to the torrents of racial abuse black players get.

Iirc Robbie Savage has an entire area of his walk in wardrobe in his house dedicated to his collection of fedora hats. Knowing that about him makes him even more annoying to me.

I honestly don’t even give Ferdinand the benefit of doubt that he’s on the wind up, I genuinely think the bloke is just thick as fuck. Mentioning Gareth Barry in the same sentence as the level of player you won’t include along with Shearer . It’s a non-argument, the bloke has the most goals in the competition, if he’s not in it then it’s a farce that’s exactly why he was the first one in along with Henry.

He should stick to posting pictures of his lass doing pole dancing classes the knacker. It’s a completely shit argument, a group that are clearly ambitious buying us would likely have us more stable than Ashley’s Newcastle. Could it go tits up? Of course there’s a chance but to argue against it on that basis is like saying don’t bother leaving your house as you might get into an accident, we’re no longer a football club under Ashley’s ownership.

Btw that Fabinho tackle on ASM was fucking absurd. Tackles like that should honestly be classed as violent conduct and be a red, at no point does he even look at the ball never mind try and get it. While I’m on this trend referees should crack down on this rotation of fouls bullshit like Liverpool did to ASM this game, it’s pathetic. It’s a shame Man City had an off season and a lot of injuries last year which let these tramps sneak in as I’m fairly hopeful they’re on a downward slide now. I don’t think Klopp has lost it or anything as I know he’s having a rough year personally which I think factors into things, but I do think they had a massive swing of favor last year and now they’re not getting the rub things are really getting to them. I’m a few beers deep, but it’ll be nice to see Salah leave the PL, I think he’s a cheating cunt tbh. I barely see a game go by without him diving all over the place, I still enjoy winding Liverpool fans up about Ramos out-cunting the wanker. I think Mane is a quality player and it sums the scousers up that they’re turning on him after a down year by his usual standards. Anyway I’m rambling the to long didn’t read is fuck these bamps I’m buzzing Steve ‘the gimp’ Bruce fucked them over with his absolute dirge tactics and left mr hipster spitting feathers, enjoy the Europa League you bampy cunts. Anyway, where’s the mackem thread laters lol.

Grenade, a protein supplement company that has a large domestic and fledgling international business, kicked out the park on every barometer by a company who have one product that as far as I can tell is basically sold exclusively in Heron foods, unless you try and buy it off Amazon resellers. He must check some pretty fucking weird barometers.

I get that people are saying it’s the rule, but again I feel the rules intention is to stop it being a ball to hand that goes in, if Wilson didn’t have an arm the ball would have hit his stomach and went the same way and the result would have been the same. They can’t try to make everything black and white ffs, play was completely unchanged by it hitting his arm and they have to be able to push on with the game rather than going “well it hit his arm and then he scored a goal so ignoring every other factor and applying simply the letter of the law it’s not a goal.” Regardless we still ruined Klopp dream I’m sure he will still find a way to complain and whinge despite everything going his way in terms of decisions.

He doesn’t have an initial plan rather than ideas during a game.

We were really in the game then he took Clark off for Willock, why didn’t he swap Shelvey for Willock? He’s such a fucking shit manager, your team has plenty of the ball and you change the shape or put Shelvey at CB both are poor choices.

What the fuck is Shelvey doing there? There’s no fucking brain in his head man, get the lazy cunt off and put Willock on ffs.

He’s such a wanker. One of the whiniest managers I’ve ever seen in the PL, desperate to be a victim over this. He literally states they’re the face of the club then questions why they’re facing protests . Calling out Chelsea and Arsenal fans for protesting their own clubs, so according to him no one should have done anything and just hoped it wouldn’t happen? Tosser. I hope they get absolutely hammered with bans and punishments, they won’t but it would be hilarious to listen to that wanker whinge about it. His whole “they’ve come to their senses and we can all just move on” is just an absurd stance too.

I mean their hands are sort of tied until this arbitration is over I would think. I agree it’s unlikely, but I don’t think this period of time has necessarily been them sitting idle I think they’ve been tied up waiting for Ashley and the PL to start and then go through the arbitration process. If that has a positive result I don’t see why they wouldn’t have interest in going through with the deal, Ashley obviously seems keen. It’s entirely possible that Ashley wins and the Saudis interest has passed, but I’m just not too convinced as to why that would be. I’m fairly certain that if Edwards does actually have a story he’s sitting on (he absolutely doesn’t btw, he wrote article after article about the Mauriss bid when there was clearly no way that was 100% ) it’ll be some bollocks along the lines of ‘Saudis to buy one of big 6 after ESL collapse creates panic sale as owners look to get out’ despite there being no reason whatsoever for the owners of any of those clubs to sell (still in a favorable position) and also they’ll cost far too much the same as they did when the Saudis showed interest in Liverpool. Again I do agree it’s all highly unlikely but I think it does massively hinge on this arbitration.

He’s full of shit. The bloke knows absolutely nothing and has proven as much time and time again. Remember when he said the Mauriss bid was legitimate I also think it’s pretty unlikely the bloke that spent a year slating the bid and everyone connected with it would be the one to get the inside scoop. At this point he’s put that out and will hope for a negative story to come out and he’ll give it the “yep this is what I heard”.

I’d say it was a valuable lesson for the PL and Sky that they need to start treating the rest of the league equally so as not to keep giving these clubs the power and arrogance to attempt things like this. Sadly absolutely fucking nothing will change, all this “let’s not forget the clubs that tried this” bullshit will end within a month.

Aye, I would think the way to punish them would be to hand out bans for life from football committees etc for those involved, perhaps halve what their vote counts as in Premier League votes for a period of five years which would effectively hand the power to the “other 14” for that time. I get that they hadn’t officially left or even done much but surely the manner in which they held their discussions was cartel like and I imagine must run foul of some rule. Of course I’d love to see large fines, transfer bans, points deductions and lengthy bans from European competition but there’s no chance it happens.

This is class. Hope they start getting lifetime bans, start with Perez.

Dead in the water now with these 3 out.

This post is implying the money lost would effectively prevent the other 14 sides from doing anything against the six sides. Of course there is a hit to the international deals but you’re implying here that the other 14 teams would effectively be powerless to stop these 6 because of that. The PL will be fine without them, sure the money will drop but that wasn’t really what was implied by your post, your post is implying that possible loss of revenue will leave everyone powerless, and it’s wrong. Whatever this Spanish court have said I fail to see how it holds any weight over FIFA and UEFA, they’re allowed to only admit those teams/players that are in their network into their competitions otherwise I could just set my own club and competition up and demand to be part of the Champions League, or that my players should be called up. As KCG said earlier the FA could just stop anyone from outside of their league system from being eligible to play for their international side, set new rules about being registered or anything. I do not see how a court gets around that, these are private competitions no ones rights are being infringed by not being allowed to play in them, the same way that they prevent you from playing for another country if you’ve already played a competitive game for one. The teams are well within their rights to go ahead and do this, no one is preventing them from doing so, but doing so doesn’t permit them to join in to competitions that relate to another footballing network. As for banning them from domestic competition, I’ve no idea about La Liga or Serie A, but the Premier League teams all signed an agreement that they cannot play in competitions external to those listed in said agreement, by entering this they’ve broken that agreement and I don’t see how they argue that they can’t be removed from the PL.

It’s not the term “other 14” it was you basically implying they have no strength and rely on them for money. The money is there regardless, the UK tv deal is massive on its own, sure we lose out on some of the Asian tv deals but I don’t see how that’s even needed anyway? It all goes into the pockets of agents and owners so I don’t see that being enough to put the other 14 teams into a position where they’d have to kneel to these 6. Regardless, the PL clubs sign into an agreement that specifically states they can’t play in competitions other than those listed, I really can’t see how they get around that in any court regardless of what some random Spanish court has said (how did they reach this verdict? What case has been brought to them? Or have they just randomly said this?)

A court with no jurisdiction over FIFA and UEFA is about as relevant as us talking about it. You were pretty dismissive about the “other 14” chances of maintaining the league earlier which is what got my back up tbh. If you’re against it that’s fine but some of your responses haven’t really leant to that other than the initial response to ewerk. It is a Newcastle forum aye, which is why any response that references we’d need and depend on the likes of Spurs to exist is going to annoy people tbh.
