The Saudi banner yesterday....

I love how all through this they can never justify the reason. Or even defend the owners.

They just abuse the messenger.
 
One thing I couldn't believe this week was on 5Live on Friday night they were still banging on about how good their support was. Has no one there realised they lost, or is the aim of every professional footballer to be able to say at the end of their career "Well I didn't win owt but we had great support."?

Amnesty defines MBS era as darkest of Al Saud rulers
Amnesty International has reportedly noted that the era of Mohammad Bin Salman has opened the darkest time in regards to human rights issues in the Arab kingdom.

The international organization announced that since empowerment of Mohammad Bin Salman in 2015 the country has seen massive crackdown on freedom of expression targeting human rights advocates and numerous people who have voiced their opposition in any form.

It added," All human rights or women rights advocates, independent journalists, authors and activists have been detained, unfairly sentenced or conditionally freed."



They have signed a deal with the devil but they too stupid to realise it.

btw, its about time Sunderland got their act together and started doing it too. They constantly whine about NewSaudi United on their own forum, but outside of that not a peep out of them.

Even Crystal Palace fans have been more vocal about it in the public eye than Sunderland fans!

On the Sunderland site the person who appears to be responsible for their banners said the timing has to be right.

As an example he said it would have been wrong to do one about Alex Neil yesterday because they got hammered.

How on earth did they know that beforehand?

What about there support?
Taking over Trafalgar Square is old hat.
Othe clubs having been doing flags for years.
Some of the fan footage coming out is absolutely cringe worthy.
They're nowt special , outside of their own heads.

They’re all a bit superficial aren’t they? Why does it need to be a TV game, who are they trying to impress? All a bit tinpot 😃

Ow! Massive they are! They have thousands of free ticket fans, you get a freebie with every litre of bottle of blue drink.

Also, the dogs in a pram eat up loads of space, maybe in the 'premier' stand 😃
 
The one thing they haven’t yet realised is that their Saudi benefactor with questionable ethics and dubious morals could just as easily turn into a despotic tyrant. Ironic eh.

They chant they’ve got their club back but they couldn’t be more wrong.

Imagine if putin tried to buy Hartlepool it sounds crazy but that is exactly what MBS is.

One of the things that drives me crazy about some Newcastle fans, are the ones who spent years complaining about Ashley. Talking about boycotts and the ownership endlessly.
Now their owned by rich but very dodgy owners they insist they “only want to talk about football” and try and shut down talk about ownership all the time.
I heard one fan say “it’s not as though people will just stop doing what they’ve done every Saturday because of the owners”.

Whenever they bring up the argument that they can't do anything about who owns their club, they should be reminded that they're the ones who hounded Ashley out followed by 100,000+ of them signing a petition demanding the Gov/EPL allow the Saudi takeover to go through.

It'd be one thing if they were genuinely quiet about their owners and acted like they were uncomfortable about it but felt "they can't do anything about it" but that's not remotely true anyway. Most of them were/are very excited by their owners and some practically hero worship them which is what leaves a particularly bad taste in the mouth.

It's not an uncomfortable truth for them. A lot are openly idolising human rights abusers. Pathetically desperate small time fans.
