Monday Feb 27:
I have a confession to make. I’m fucking made up Newcastle lost yesterday even though it meant the Mancs getting their hands on a trophy. I wasn’t even the remotest bit conflicted about it either, I was 100% all in on Newcastle losing.
There are several reasons but the main one is that in the grand scheme of things this win doesn’t really mean a great deal to manc fans. It’s a day out and another trinket to put in an already bulging trophy cabinet. For Newcastle it meant everything and if there is one fanbase in this country that really deserves a trophy…. well it’s not them fucking sportwashed sellouts. I don’t begrudge the likes of Spurs, West Ham, Wolves, even Villa winning something. It’s Everton and Newcastle I never want to win anything.
I hope Newcastle’s long barren run lasts for eternity. If they hadn’t embraced the Saudi takeover the way they did then I’d have felt differently. Shit, I’ve wanted them to win league titles in the past, but I look at how those fans have embraced the Saudis and it’s pretty clear that for the most part they’re the worst bunch of fucking gobshites in England and I hope they never get to enjoy anything ever.
I said when the Saudi thing was first mooted that these were the worst possible fans that this could happen to and that they were the ideal candidates for sports washing. Even more so than City. I’d say Everton would be right up there too now (they’d embrace Putin if he could get them in the top six), but from a Saudi perspective Newcastle were ripe for the picking and it’s gone exactly how I knew it would.
Not only do they not care where the money is coming from or how many people their owners execute or throw in jail for being gay or tweeting about women’s rights, they’ll actively speak out to defend it just because they funded the purchase of Dan fucking Burn and Kieron Trippier. It’s mental. I don’t have a problem with those who just want to enjoy the footy and say they can’t control who owns the club, but that’s not what is happening really is it? They are hero worshipping the ownership (flags, banners, dressing like Saudis etc) and fighting their battles for them on social media by either denying or defending the human right abuses. They’re even picking fights with Amnesty Intertional. Who needs to invest in a bot farm when you have 50 thousand Geordies who’ll do it for you.
And for what? Because Saudi Arabia bought their football team from the hated Mike Ashley. Of course Ashley was a knob, but he wasn’t chopping people’s heads off for speaking out against him. Shame really, I could have got behind that. They’ve actually got banners for Amanda Staveley for fucks sake. Tolerating Saudi ownership is one thing, but embracing it and revelling in it for ’banter’ purposes is another thing entirely, and that’s what is happening. Worst fans in the league.
You probably aren’t even aware of most of the embarrassing shit they’re up to but I’ve got a Sunderland supporting brother-in-law so I’m constantly seeing the cringe worthy shit that’s going on up there. So yeah I’m made up they lost. They disgust me, and Beheddie Howe can fuck off as well. Don’t want him winning anything, the fucking spineless Saudi shill.
