If you make statements here, proffer an opinion, and people dont agree with it, dont continually play the victim card when people question you in a debate you started.

Comment #162Jail
Kevin Vegan posts up to 100 times a day..people will answer him , debate with him .
Not everybody agrees with his opinion ..thats what the blog is for ..you discuss .
He generates a lot of response .
He posts in the negative ..constantly, on the takeover
People here are hoping and preying and are going through mental health issues because of the hope and the awful press we are getting .
And heres Kevin all the while pissing on our chips.
jail I thought you would see through this charade …
Calls to stop mixing it with him will fall on deaf ears and rightly so as he continues to wind .
If he proffers an opinion and its challenged he says hes the victim !
You will see a period of decent posts ..then something to upset someone in particular ..then when he’s questioned on his opinion and is loosing the debate he comes out with something outlandish, the piss take bit .
Now he’s taking a rise out of our most decent poster Carltoon.

Comment #164NY Mag
It’s an interesting read, a steel tank containing 2.5 million gallons of molasses burst flooding the North End of Boston. It was a tsunami of the warm sticky fluid that reached speeds of 35 mph, trapping people and smashing buildings.
21 died and 150 were injured and apparently on a hot day the smell of the molasses still lingers in the area.

Comment #165Ramage must be quite bright. He didn’t really have the career to help him transition easily into a good coaching role like this, and before in the States, and he’s only 36.

Kevin,
Carry on the way you’re going on with Carltoon and she’ll have your guts for garters. Have some respect for the girl – she’s a bigger fan than you’ll ever be.
Carltoon
Did you really ask where Jiblets is when you need him?
At this time of the day, he’ll still in the cupboard under the stairs, door locked from the outside and sleeping off the effects of another hard day in his own private, fantasy world. Google goes into recovery mode too.

Comment #169KV: I’m not a prolific poster. That got me worried that I may not even qualify for your evaluation for an entry into your yes/no/may-be list. Since I’ve always been interested to be on a list, black or white, please let me know if I could make your list if from now I churn out a large number of post. Since I don’t understand much about anything, most of those posts would not have any substance though.

Comment #170EGB @164: although I should not make fun of fellow human beings losing their lives, do you know anything about the state of fermentation of the molasses? The answer could be useful in proving (or disproving) “alcohol kills.”

Comment #171Would you look at that!
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/28/football/paris-fc-bahrain-investment-football-ligue-2-spt-intl/index.html
Kingdom of Bahrain buys 20% stake in Paris FC
Wonder if there was a 4+ month vetting process?
Wonder if French MPs weighed in on the crackdown of Arab Spring uprisings?
Wonder if human rights abuses were contested by distraught widows?
Wonder if Paris FC fanbase were treated like fodder for hoping, lambasted as abetting in such travesties for doing so
I think we all know the answers…

Comment #172Tsunki, we know you’re a patronising muppet at the best of times but try not to treat the blog as all being stupid . You’re not honest enough to state that you didn’t want a takeover, ie by the Arabs. It took a while to drag it out of you, although you were stupid enough to miss the point of myself and Munds questions, or else kicked for touch. At the start of all this you opined about the morals of mbs and Co ad nauseum. Added to that your constant knocking (wishful thinking) of the reality of what is going on with your two friends, frog and the vegan. I think it’s clear where your thoughts lie on a PIF purchase, without any need for long winded lectures ( spare us the boredom tarquin, please). Hopefully for you we can keep on being the lower ranking club we have become and you can amuse yourself by bitching on the blog about how crap we are. Most of the rest of us will continue to hope and dream.

Comment #175I dont understand why you wouldnt want the richest entity that will but a football club buying your football club.
If they dont approve the sale, NUFC is finished under ashley.
He has lost total interest in the club.

Comment #180Not good enough Munster. You said I’d be happy if a takeover fell through. Now prove it. It’s that simple. Stop waffling.
Whether I would be ok with the Saudi overlord is a different thing. I’ve always said Ashley goes first then so would think about ramifications after.
Now get on with it none of your politicians claptrap.

Comment #184It wouldn’t be an issue if Munster didn’t lie through his teeth to gather allies and create arguments.
TBF it’s more justified than the Kevin vegan hounding or the whingers saying “oh no a sermon” etc.

Comment #187I can’t get my head round this.
If we were a PLC and the Saudis went to the stock exchange and bought a controlling amount of shares would they have to go through all of this carry on.
They could not be forced to sell the shares back surely.
What would happen???

A PLC is just that viz Public
