Apparently Staveley & her fella organised the ticket in the directors box…

I'm going to be a bit mean spirited here but when a total QPR appears from nowhere from another country the amount of NUFC twitter fans who crawl up their arses where they end up getting tours, tickets, meeting players, getting shirts all usually fucking gratis kind of pisses me off a bit. You had that American/Paraguayan kid, I saw Shearer handing over a shirt to a yank the other day and now this Saudi lad getting the red carpet treatment. There'll genuinely be lads/lasses from Byker, Felling, Howdon, Kenton etc who've followed the club for years, might well be on the bones of their arses but wouldn't get the lickings of a fucking dog from NUFC, sponsors or 'famous' twitter individuals. It's not a reflection on the foreign newcomers who might all be decent kids and good luck to them but what about those who've maybe fell on hard times a bit closer to home and who put the effort in through the years?

I’d saw similar, but he’d also posted some map showing his trip with a Fun88 logo and thanking them for his ticket so who knows. Maybe they bumped his ticket up? As HMHM says I’ve nothing against the bloke himself, but these pillocks calling him a club legend, panicking about a grown man missing his bus, and showering him with free stuff is ridiculous, apparently he was a Manchester United ‘fan’ up until a couple of month ago. Many react to what I and many are saying by going “it’s just jealousy” but it’s really not, I’m not asking for any of this stuff myself but as HMHM says there are surely tons of actual supporters, ones who have stuck with us for years, more deserving than some random bloke that just decided he supports us now. 
 

The “well you best get used to it” responses with regard to glory hunter types also doesn’t wash with me, I know if we become successful the glory hunters will come and Wraiths new bestie is just trying to get in early doors, but I’m not talking about a glory hunter coming and buying tickets etc, my complaint is this bending over backwards by the sponsors/owners/whoever to shower one with things the majority of proper fans couldn’t dream of getting, or at least have to pay/work for.
 

I couldn’t give a fuck about the bloke and a few daft pictures/free pints should be the extent of it, this wanking off over having a ‘Saudi Geordie’ is, dare I say it, mackem behavior - so maybe the mackems are right and Wraith really is a MLF. FWIW they all want a word with themselves as the mooch has played them all like a fiddle, grown men basically pleading on his behalf to get him a ticket for the Brighton game ffs.

He travelled thousands of miles and turned up to support the toon wearing all his arab paraphernalia. It was a good story and PR. If he gets a free ticket every match it would be something to complain about.

A Man U fan? :lol: :lol: Didn't know that? In that case I hope his balls fester and his arse seizes up. And he's getting VIP treatment? Well done twitter, fucking well done. 👏

Wraith is ripe to be pranked with something like this. Get someone from the local kebab shop, cover him in a bed sheet and Elizabeth Duke gold, and get Wraith to put him up at his house and shower gifts on him for a month.

I and thousands of others have travelled thousands of miles in various states of dress supporting this club, (definitely not supporting Man Utd). Amount of freebies gained? Take a wild guess. I'll complain if I want, cheers. :good:

When we play our friendlies in Riyadh, start a twitter campaign that you are on your way over wearing a bowler hat and Union Jack t-shirt, maybe they'll sort you out a VIP seat. 👍

I get the point re: the PR side of it but unless I’ve missed something he flew here for a jolly rather than only using modes of transport available to Phileas Fogg ;)

I've flown Emirates once and it was absolute insanity. Loads of lads in floor length shirts just sitting wherever the fuck they liked, and having to all be walked to their assigned seats by the stewardess. Wandering about while the seatbelt lights were on and the plane is still at a 45 degree angle during takeoff. 

 

"BUT WHY CAN I NOT SIT WITH MY WIFE!" one wanted to know. "Because your seat is here. And her seat is way over there."

It sounds similar to an experience I had. Except it was the cast of Strictly Come Dancing behaving like tits on a Flybe flight from Belfast

Anyway the point was, I feel like Phileas can't have had it much worse than me that day. 

That bit in 'Man who would be king' where Michael Caine throws the Indian from the moving train in superior disdain...... That's you that is.
