    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    Very well put. The other argiment of course is even simpler: 'Two wrongs don't make a right'

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    Applause on 59th minute and distribute photos/images of Jamal Khashoggi for everyone to hold up.Would be good.

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    Out of interest, is anyone thinking about organizing something for the newcastle game? I'd hate to see this simply fade into the background and become accepted as just 'part of how football is now'. Although history would strongly suggest that is what will happen, and I imagine it's what the...

    [Albion] Premier League 16-18/10

    Funny yes. But I can't help feeling a little sorry for Viera. I know he invited it by bringing on a defender and sitting back. But he just looked so sad.

    [Football] England given one-match stadium ban

    Presumably the ban includes the band? So there is a significant upside

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    I'm with Swansman on this. Occam's razor innit. In the same way that I don't think Kier Starmer is playing the the long game. He's just made some poor decisions and isn't up to the job. Sorry.

    [Albion] Premier League 16-18/10

    Th only upside to the whole Newcastle saga is that I now have some real interest in a game that would otherwise be 'meh' I want Newcastle to lose to eveyone. I want them to be relegated twice and end up in League 1 with a team of disinterested 'global' players on multi-million pound contracts...

    [Technology] Owning an EV without a personal charger...

    I think we do. There's nothing very green about changing cars before you would normally need to anyway - unless you are driving big distances in a true gas guzzler.

    [Technology] Owning an EV without a personal charger...

    We moved to EV for a variety of reasons, but we needed to change. While have a relatively low income, our outgoings are also pretty low. I reckon it's costing us around an extra £100 or so a month compared to not going electric. That's a cost we can handle, and I want to contribute to the...

    [Technology] Owning an EV without a personal charger...

    We have got an EV (and switched to Octopus). So far all excellent.Very nice to drive, range as advertised (245mile...as above), all very simple to use. And obviously in the last few weeks, the smugness levels have gone through the roof. But I wouldn't recommend it yet if you can't charge from...

    [Football] Paul Merson: Football and Gambling. BBC 1

    I don't really want to get into this disussion in detail, at least not here on NSC. But that link only tells part of a story (some rather obvious gaps) and is hardly unbiased in terms of where it's published. All I would say is he's a fantastic Chairman and owner and seems like a very decent...

    [Football] Paul Merson: Football and Gambling. BBC 1

    From Wikipedia: Bloom is believed to have accumulated wealth through developing online gambling and gaming websites, and through property and start-up investments. I have no specific knowledge, but that would fit with what I've always assumed.

    [Albion] If the Albion were bought out by the Saudis

    It would be very upsetting, but there would be no choice for me. I'd be out. Think Lewes would be the winner in that scenario. Not quite the same but I'd be down there on an occasional basis for sure.

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    You are allowed to be angry at both. I am. The FA are worthless. Corrupt. Nobody with their snout in the trough is going to do anything that might risk cutting off the supply of swill. We should look to the German approach and fan's having control. Ultimately that will need intervention of...

    [Albion] Have you ever been to watch the U23s play ?

    If I had no other commitments I would, 100%. And women's games. I enjoy watching the U23 games on youtube/streams when I can. But I have so many other commitments, work, hobbies family with no interest in football. I struggle to justify going to first team home games + one or two away games...

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    Important message from Shearer to Newcastle fans: 'you can't look the other way...Now I am going to look the other way and encourage you all to do the same' Lost any lingering respect I might have had for him. The prick.

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    'It's always been a bit dodgy, so let's look the other way while the Saudi's buy Newcastle'. Righto. Sadly though I think your view will inevitably prevail.

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    Football is getting boiled like a frog. Step by step, its soul is being sold, to the highest bidder as a soft power tool for murderers while fans celebrate and look the other way. Money, at the levels it is flowing in to the game from above, is pure poison. Corrupting everything it touches...

    [Albion] Tony Bloom Is Having A W*nk

    Yup Can I make myself exceptionally unpopular in certain quarters and add the one about shooting the Palace scum. I KNOW it's 'traditional' and not really an actual incitement to shoot anyone. But it sounds pathetically childish, won't ever get the whole stand (let alone the whole stadium)...
