Would not be allowed in Saudi Arabia! Like it or not it will come up every day. What can you do as fans, Nothing just enjoy the ride. I do wish Newcastle well and hopefully your clubs football will do the talking. I do look forward to Man City v Toon in say 5 years time, should be very interesting! Sorry to bomb your board, your quite welcome on the Villa forum as many of you are even Terry Mac is back on there gloating, I don't know why but im sure hes time will come.
All the best for the season.....
The Saudies are behind the West as far as freedoms are concerned as are areas of Pakistan and of course the Taliban in Afghanistan.However in my lifetime Black people in some of the Southern United States could not go into some places that were for Whites only,South Africa was the same in the 1970s when I left a ship there,in the airport some of us went into a black bar for a drink as we thought the posh looking bar was the first class bar.Women only got the vote in England the year my father was born and my mother was five year old when women under thirty got the vote.Three hundred years back we were hanging women as witches and 500 years back Bloody Mary was burning Protestant clergy at the stake.I think all this anti Saudi stuff is by jealous supporters and clubs like Spurs who wanted the Saudies to take them over not too long back.
