NJS 4386 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If this turns out to be true do we take the high ground on them being evil cunts, indulge in whataboutery regarding Sheff U, Villa (Chinese being shit on human rights) and even Man City whose owners are in the same realm or do we shrug our shoulders and say fuck it? Truthfully I'm leaning towards fuck it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35095 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The government endorsed selling them loads of arms to kill civilians with but we’re supposed to take moral high ground? Fuck right off. Particularly the BBC with its endorsement of said government at the last election Edited January 27, 2020 by Alex 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Haven't they been slowly been moving towards western values anyway? I mean they let bints drive over there now, which whilst I don't agree it, was seen as a move forwards. They're not going to become 'civilised' overnight but maybe buying us is a move towards that rather than an attempt to cover-up their shenanigans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 877 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Fuck the fucking Saudis. Literal medieval tyrants, giving an entire religion of 1bn+ people a bad name. 100 years ago their country was a dusty shithole named Nejd where the last scraps of a corrupt dynasty ruled over the emptiness of the Rub al-Khali. 200 before that they were getting their shit kicked in by my ancestors because they tried to put on airs. Now they spread their cancerous ideology across the Middle East and call themselves the guardians of Islam while they do coke off hookers' arses in Monaco and dismember Muslims before dissolving them in acid, not to mention raping their Filipina maid-slaves while withholding their exit visas and passports. Fuck the house of Saud, fuck their degenerate country, fuck their false piety, fuck their oil money. I want nothing to do with them. It is one of my great regrets that Mecca is situated within their borders because it means that one day I will have to enter their excuse for a country. I'd have another fifty years of Ashley before a year under Saudi ownership. Edited January 27, 2020 by acrossthepond 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20168 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Funny when Wonga came to sponsor us, there was uproad and people kicking off.

247 597 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Personally I dont give a fuck if they get up to some barbaric shite in the country they come from. They are buying a football club, I find it odd to try and take the moral high ground over a sports venture.. if they were rolling into Newcastle in tanks and enforcing sharia law then thats another story. You see where im coming from.. Its not happening anyway so its a pointless debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
