I'd heard of Deadpool (I've not seen it, but can picture the character), but I wouldn't have been able to put a name to the actor. I know their names through football.

Which is fair enough, but it's not what I'd want my club to become.

I hope I'm not the only this gives ear-worm to.

Moore was very good, but something clearly happened in his head.

They'll be dancing in the streets of Rabat tonight.

I don't wish owners like our previous ones on any club.

Oh, agreed. The country's relationship with that hideous regime sickens me far more than Newcastle United's.

Is he turning us into a media circus with a tv documentary? I don't want that. Would I still support us in this hypothetical scenario? Yes. Would I start to feel that the club was no longer one I felt a part of and begin to lose interest? Possibly, who knows. I have no moral objection to...

I don't know. For me personally? Start with nation states where it's illegal to be gay are out. Business people who are pumping millions in a US regime that is dismantling the mechanisms of democracy are also a personal no-no. Fwiw, football support is an ingrained thing; I make no moral...

I don't begrudge the long-term Wrexham fans at all; just the same as I don't begrudge the Manchester City fans who saw their club pip Manchester United to a league title with two injury time goals. That's not the point, though; I'm still not rooting for their clubs generally.

But that's the thing, isn't it. Winning the Champion's League would be great, but would it be worth becoming a sports-washing tool for an illiberal regime to achieve it? Imo, no. That may put me in the minority, but it's still a no from me.

St Pauli for a couple, others who just became less interested and drifted away. If you fall out of love with your club, you don't necessarily have to adopt another.

It really isn't. Lived in Manchester for a long time, and knew a good few Manchester City fans. A good few had become jaded with it and felt the club was no longer one they felt a part of. Not all, obviously, but a good few. Success at all costs isn't the be-all and end-all for a lot of...

Of course you do, it's the contrary position to take. 😂 You're completely right that it's hardly the first instance of a club being inflated by massive financial input unrelated to success on the pitch, though. They may well be the first to do it with this degree of fawning, however.

Got you! Sorry. 😂 Clearly there's more than one way that football fans can be idiots...

There are quite a few of them, you follow football, you must have noticed.

Yeah, but it's just idiot football fans saying idiot football fan things. Who cares?

I love these things. I remember one, I think it may have even been Mowbray when at Sunderland after we beat them; he commented they'd have won if they'd have had our match winners. Yes, Tony. If the best players in the game had have swapped sides, it would have been different.

Gerrard was more gifted, but Lampard much more intelligent. I'd probably rather Lampard in my side, tbh.

And they're living in yours, it seems.
