Thank fuck Ferdinand is leaving tnt.  Couldn't stand another season of him fawning over psg and their 'incredible magical wonderful ' players and great supporters.  Hopefully mccoist follows him out the door soon

’people say horrible things bout Adolf but don’t they know he bought us the pacey winger we needed’

Adolf Hitler was bad, but he introduced some of the first animal welfare legislation in Europe. 

Is Caddy psychically channeling that weird, racist Vegan Teacher social media scoundrel I've heard about?

Mccoist is ok but Ferdinand has always been a dreadful commentator/pundit.

Lets be honest, any commentator was bound to "fawn" over that PSG team. To win a Champions League final 5 nil and play such incredible football, if ever there was a performance worthy of so much praise then that was it. The likes of Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskelia etc are unbelievable.

But I just find Ferdinand and some of the weird shit he comes out with to be intolerable. As you say, thank god he is leaving.

do you think PSG or Newcastle fans really care about what is going on in those countries really? I wouldn't if I was supporter of those clubs

That's how sports washing works, mate.

Guys, I judged them on what they actually do as owners of the club and NOT outside influences of them owning and running a football club properly. Newcastle owners have done a very good job as owners of that club since they bought it. That's all they should be judged on!

So just judge the Saudi regime on how they run Newcastle United and not how they brutally slaughter children in Yemen.

Good to see your moral compass is well callibrated.

Defunding women’s football - outrageous 

Stoning women to death - meh

Of all the wide of the mark shit you've said over the year this takes the biscuit. Just awfully ignorant.

Well at least we’ve established that sportswashing works on some people.

Backfires on others though. I know a lot more about the shitty things regimes in some of these places do due to people getting up in arms about things like owning foreign football clubs. Not everyone reads Amnesty International communication briefs.

In short, keep giving it to them.

A very good point I hadn’t considered. 👍
