Thogden can be heard saying in the video: Seventy year wait is finally over. Newcastle have a trophy.
Dad: Imagine the parade. A quarter of a million Geordies in the city center, limbs everywhere.
Thogden: But where’s the after party?
Dad: Big market?
Thogden: No.
Dad: Saudi Arabia.
Thogden: What? Just imagine Boulevard World in Riyadh full of black and white, and it’s actually easy to get there.
Dad: What about the visas, the flights, the hassle?
Thogden: Online or on arrival. Plus, visit saudi.com are doing a package deal where you can just get it all together.
Dad: So let me get this straight. Toon winner trophy, and suddenly we’re going all Sean Longstaff and going traveling.
Thogden: Sun celebrations and probably Joelinton on a camel.
Dad: I’ve got to see that.

He then shared it on his personal Twitter account @Joey7Barton, writing: “This the fella who was telling the Madrid fans to ‘calm down’ after Barca scored in The Classico 😭😭😭 Absolute sausage 🌭”

@JakeW2311: Christ you take things very literally don’t you?
@SymeSteve1: I have to admire your total lack of self awareness, if I’d just been found guilty of battering my wife I’d be keeping a low profile and certainly wouldn’t be publicly judging anyone else. I’m saying that, being controversial on X is your only living now, isn’t it?
@terry_fitches: Embarrassing idiots
@AndosNose: You hit women so I’m not sure you’re in a position to judge anyone.
@ruinedshirts: This has made me feel ill
@Ollydanny_123: Don’t like him at all, but wouldn’t blame him, you’d do the same for the bag, so would I, so would everyone
@thenufcjp: Now this is sportswashing
@Jsize18: Almost have to rate it from thogden tbh.
@TobyEvenden: Must have been a nice bag 😂
@Jsize18: Bet he’s made absolute fortunes 🤣🤣
@Zino2320: Partnering with one of the worst regimes in the world, hope he offs himself
@JoeWheeler_10: What in the fuck is this
@conner_1875: People acting like they wouldn’t promote this for serious bag are fucking silly. Fair play to the c*nt 💰
@jimmy_sowden: The only thing that he’s ever said that is remotely true / funny
@PeterDAnderson: This is paid Sports washing and it’s like it’s a parody of what football fans being sports washing looks like
@LanneAFC: Geordies celebrating their first title in 70 years by going to a country where they can’t drink would be quite the choice lol
dcfcjoe: Painful watch
flynn 💛🖤: So they are gonna go saudi where they can’t drink? 😂
curtisjoneslover8218: sun, celebrations and human rights violations
Henry: Ah this is a tragedy
Chuck: Thogden falloff is beautiful

foreverayellow: well this is just cringe. not a single newcastle fan is thinking ‘oooh i’ll head to saudi not that newcastle have won their first domestic trophy in 70 years. especially when they’r extremely strict / prohibit alcohol
what I find even more funny is they gonna think newcastle fans are gonna listen to “thogden” pic.twitter.com/F02ihZKY66
