They haven't got any non-foreigners. Last time I looked. You find modern life a real struggle don't you. I agree with most of what everyone has said about modern football being beyond repair, however the standard of the football is light years ahead of the pre-premiership era. Have a look at the wonderful Big Match reruns on ITV4 if you don't believe me. Puddings for pitches and play that wouldn't look out of place at Edgar Street at times. So is your problem with the foreign players their ability or the fact that they are over here? Bristol City have got stacks of English players. I have it on good authority that their keeper Daniel Bentley is pretty good.

That's odd, I can't see any racial abuse towards Saudis on here. All I can see is an objection to the despicable regime that has taken over at the Toons. A regime that were caught red-handed murdering an innocent journalist because he had the audacity to criticise them. It was fortunate that the Turkish had caught this on tape - I wonder how many other despicable acts they have perpetrated in recent years (and beyond)? Still, I do understand it doesn't fit your pale, male, stale persona so your response is predictable and at least you are being consistent. According to your mates we've got a despicable regime over here. "Scum." As a fierce advocate of remaining in Europe, I'm wondering if during the international break the likes of Bristol City can send out some of their Eastern Europeans to slaughter a few pigs or pick some broccoli. PS Last time I looked Trevor Phillips and Priti Patel would not be described as pale. Nor, indeed, are they beyond the pale. Patel is a vile gift to Johnson in that she allows him to tick some diversity boxes while remaining some distance to the right of Tommy Robinson. Not for a second suggesting this is you but, but she’s also a gift as a poster girl for racists who deny that they’re actually racist. Johnson again, I would offer.

So that's you and your mate Down Under playing the race card today. Again. Mrs 0bserver was banned "because she might libel somebody."

Other opinions etc etc. Patel is a vile and dangerous creature. It starts and ends there.

Priti Patel is a details person who has good instincts and the praiseworthy inclination to kick civil servants up the backside. You brought her colour into this conversation in a completely unwarranted manner.

You brought her colour into this conversation in a completely unwarranted manner. She does? Sacked twice* for 'forgetting' to declare meetings with parties that she really should have considered consequential doesn't strike me as all that hot on detail, wouldn't you agree? Unless of course, she was all over the 'detail', and her 'instinct' was to try and lie her way out of it. Doesn't look good either way. And for the record, I don't personally give the smallest one what colour or gender she or anyone is, I'm all about what they say, and what they do. Detail, if you like. I do stand by the assertion that as a woman of colour, she is a gift for Johnson and his need to appear inclusive. *Worth remembering that it's not that easy to get sacked from the front benches these days.

The floodgates have opened too widely. Two per team would be all right. It's no good saying it's fine for foreigners and then start stipulating what kind of foreigners can come. (ie Saudis.) How far do we go back? Spanish Inquisition? Mussolini? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically.......
Been watching Football Focus. A travesty of a showcase for football.
Mind you, I'm looking forward to German History Month. Hope they can cram it all in.

It's absolutely feck all, in this instance, to do with them being Saudis. My response, and I suspect that of many others, would be no different if the Toon had been bought by an English software billionaire from Swindon, if said software billionaire had an equally appalling human rights record. PS 'Herds of wildebeest..' Much better 8.5/10.

Does that mean, Edgar street may ban dressing as the invisible man?

No cowboy hats unless you're a cowboy. No flatcaps unless you're northern. No sandals unless you're on holiday. Beards dependant upon religious indoctrination.
I have never seen a better way of encouraging thousands of people to wear 'Arabic clothing' or 'Middle East-inspired head coverings'.

I’m not Northern, but I am from the countryside, where a flat cap seems to be accepted headgear. Beards, just no, especially those ‘hipster’ styles……

Newcastle United addresses ethics. You couldn't make it up. Geordies have previous for this, one was criticised by social media users for posting an Instagram photo of her wearing a jacket during a night out on Tyneside. A 26-year-old hairdresser, Cheryl Weedy, was accused of cultural appropriation and that her new look was offensive to people from farther south than Chester-le-Street; many commenters demanding that she apologise for her insensitive look. One Twitter user @howaylad said, “Some people are over reacting a little but it is cultural appropriation of southern soft shite culture. Soft coat wearing southern sissies from Leeds have the right to get offended." Some people were less critical; an individual called @biggmarket15 said, “She’s a bonny lass, and it wor freezin on Friday, but no excuse for gannin and wearin a coat on tha toon.” Cheryl told the Rochdale Herald, through a translator, that the reports that she was wearing a coat have been grossly over-exaggerated: “I was wearing a stringy, strappy vest top and a small denim jacket, but you couldn’t see my belly button; I think that’s what’s got people confused.” “I put the vest top on because the forecast was for snow and ice and I thought I might try to keep warm. I hadn’t realised that being cold was just for southerners. It was -14C.” “I’ll be more sensitive in future and just wear traditional Geordie clothes.”
