Thank God this EPL season is over. It's not the lower half finish that bothers me, it is the dire, dull football Newcastle has played. Also, 27 points lost from winning positions🤦♂️. FULNEW
At least the Bucaneers rule supreme here..

OMG, I've just seen that Maria McCloy has passed - what a tragic loss for the South African creative and media space.

Geopolitics is contested with narratives as much as bombs. In Iran, journalists risk prison or worse for working with foreign outlets. One writer, under a pseudonym, explains why they persist.

You're a settler dutifully committing war crimes, next thing you know every one of your state and religious institutions are saying you're too ugly & scabby to be associated with them.

When you bootlick for empire ...
Let me get this straight... they wore the uniform, served the US, and THIS government started deportation proceedings for 34 veterans. And arrested 125 veterans for immigration violations. These aren't just numbers. These are people who served the country that is now telling them to get out.

Stop it.
The GOP is the perfect expression of American exceptionalism, just as Democrats are. These parties only marginally differ in their tactical approach to the implementation of rapacious imperialism.

The GOP hates America and everything it stands for. Their words and actions prove it. Facts don't lie, but the GOP does; over and over again.

Totally agree with this. If anyone thinks NUFC is any kind of priority for PIF, Saudi or even maybe the Ruebens at this point they need their bumps felt.We may well be scraping along for a number of years, rather than any kind of rebuild/development. Strap yourselves in for another bumpy one.

I think Newcastle is the least of PIF's concerns.
PIF's financial base is literally on fire. NUFC - due to the size of the PIF stake and Saudi sourced sponsorships - is likely facing some choppy waters.
Trump's war is going to mess English football; us and Man City are going to feel it first.

Watched the Geordie Journos saying it was a good job #nufc didn't lose by more last night. In a way I think not. Losing by even more would have put a rocket under PIF and Howe to get things moving faster and rebuild this ageing squad and our ideas.

European football must be braced for a storm. Trump's war on Iran is going to reverberate, particularly in the Premier League & the EFL.
With the gulf in flames and the war escalating, what kind of appetite remains in Dubai, Doha & Riyadh for their sports washing project? #nufc #mancity #facup
