Ridiculous. He absolutely doesn’t

We are a gift to the league

Not really, feel fully justified being critical of them, as I have been in my day job also. Fully disagree with you on your point about the new stadium. We built it on the high road right at the heart of the community. Our ownership do many things wrong but community engagement is not one of them, the amount of jobs that new stadium has created, the new community facilities, the income it brings to local businesses and families. Tottenham needs the football club. This is just such whataboutery now though - not sure the financial inequalities in the premier league are the same as the human rights violations of a nation state using sport to improve their image. An appreciation of Jewish people is exactly why that word was and is chanted. You’ve never been in our ends when we still experience anti Semitic abuse to this day. In the 70s and 80s it was obviously horrific and owning that word and solidarity with the Jewish community and identity lessened the impact of that abuse.

I will not be attending. This is just a lot of words to try and justify that regime taking over a club and a city, and a fanbase celebrating something they absolutely should not be. You’re defending the indefensible in my opinion. It’s sportwashing pure and simple, just like Man City, PSG, but the Saudis probably the worst of the lot. Newcastle fans with Saudi flags, with tea towels on their head etc deserve as much condemnation as they get, and I hope that this continues to be highlighted by the press. And this goes for everything outside football too, the more noise and media around the actions of the regime there the better. Clearly we are not going to agree on this, but it’s extremely disappointing to see

Couldn’t disagree more. It’s exactly the time for Newcastle fans to stand up and challenge new ownership… clearly a lack of investment in the club is worse than murdering journalists and treating women with utter disdain. They should absolutely be made to carry the burden for celebrating these people taking over their club and the city of Newcastle. There are things bigger than football, for me human rights are definitely one of them, and the message this adulation and heralding of the Saudis as saviours is sending is an awful look for the league, fans, city and the country. Id love new ownership, but not at the expense of values. We’ve turned down Middle Eastern investment regularly, and I’m very proud that the club hasn’t gone down that path, and I know the vast majority of fanbase would be extremely uncomfortable with it, particularly with our Jewish roots.

This is really sad that someone I generally consider to be excellent on these issues would be so welcoming of an abhorrent regime It shows the power of football I guess, that triumphing over humanity. To have your arms wide open to a regime with a horrific human rights record, using the club and the league in their power struggle with another gulf nation doesn’t sit right with me.

Another sad day for the premier league letting in a horrific regime who purely want access to the league to compete with another nation.

Someone just sent me an actual text, really weird

Yeah, obviously I’m only joking with Nuno out already, but honestly can’t see any improvement in style just yet. Will give him a chance but we are just so dull to watch again. The knock against potter was for all the plaudits for the football the results have never been there. If Brighton have a good season this year then I think he will be snapped up by a bigger club.

I said in the summer i just wanted someone to get us back to playing progressive attacking football. I’d take Potter 100%

Nunos got to go

You’ll beat us next it’s fine No Sanchez, Romero, Lo Celso Son, Bergwijn, Skipp all injured on international duty

I used to really dislike Vettel but he’s an absolutely top bloke - really changed my mind on him

2-0 and you fu…..

Can’t read too much into it obviously as it’s just pre season but are you concerned? You looked absolutely awful today and I gather in pre season in general. Don’t see any sign of progression

Thanks for proving my point

I mentioned that actually as did Gonzo ha

I’d be reacting the same as Stan if one of our key players got injured in a Pre season friendly got injured from a bad tackle, no doubt about it. Means you can’t look at it from an objective standpoint though. Fofanas rake down the Achilles wasn’t great, the tackle on him wasn’t either, and the outcome is definitely unfortunate. But I’ve seen a lot lot worse

To be honest the Fofana challenge before looks a bit naughty too. Raking his studs down his Achilles.

Absolutely agree with you both. When I saw the comments I was expecting a horror tackle and while it’s not great it’s also nowhere near as bad as being made it. Unfortunate more than anything. That’s the emotion of losing a player to injury talking though

Lloris Tomiyasu Romero CB Reguilon Lo Celso Hojbjerg Ndombele/Skipp Bergwijn Kane Son Something like that anyway

Toby has officially left and gone to Qatar. The rebuild continues

You know it

Feels like the much needed overhaul of the squad is going to happen. Lamela going to Sevilla Alderweireld off to Qatar Sissoko and Aurier likely off Possibly Sanchez, Dier and winks too. Gil and Romero look like happening, Gollini in, probably Tomiyasu too. Probably another striker too. All go
