ok i know it's a shit paper but it's an easy ready whilst at work but i spotted something which really fucked me off today.

In their little snippet section of sport news (page 69) they had a small section which read:

sorry if been posted before

Take it with a pinch of salt, I won't believe it till he actually goes.

Lazy journalism

I noticed that as well. In the same column last week, it was claimed PdC only signed a 1 year deal, when he signed a 2 (which could be 3) year deal.

I think you can safely say the person who writes the column is a West Ham fan.

I watched the West Ham game on Friday. Didn't hear any fans singing for PdC and the football they played wasn't hoofball but quality passing to feet.

... I recall the commentator also quoting Sullivan as saying that Allardyce will be in charge next season regardless of division.

Karren Brady said it earlier this week.

yawn

Why do you buy such crap? You only encourage these bozo's to write line fillers.

Paolo's always used the "if Swindon want me..." and the "one day they may sack me" type comments, its just his way.

Make it easy for a jurno to write what he wants and insert said quote out of context

This story is of no concern.

No concern at all. I still think he'll be here at the start of next season.

Hard to sing for another manager when you're 4-0 up. Easy to play football against Barnsley, who were dreadful.

The most concerning thing in that article is the reference to Paolo's fairly tail.

Today's Sun has linked us with Wimbledon's Jack Midson. Can't see this happening myself.

On the subject of shit journos (didn't want to start a new thread)

@danwalkerbbc

Perspective? It's not fucking perspective in the slightest is it Dan? You utter tool.

Signed for them from the Pox, I recall their fans getting a bit bothered with his good record this season as he wasn't as good for them. Midson Monday?

I got as far as the word "Sun" and came to the conclusion the story is bollocks

How so? Seems a reasonable point to me. Given the wage cap is revenue-based, I'd imagine we've probably spent more than Crawley haven't we as we actually have a fanbase rather than one man and his dog and a couple of thousand bandwaggoners? But people haven't, by and large, had a go at us for the money we've spent in the way they have Crawley. Which is all the bloke's saying, isn't he?

(Awaits spuming tide of vitriol for daring to suggest journo may have a point)

Dan Walker tweeted praise for Steve Evans once stating "football needs more like him" (or something similar) therefore he is by nature an imbecile

More convicted fraudsters? Well, there's plenty of bent frauds involved in football, so I suppose if he meant more of them should be convicted, I'd be inclined to agree. But I suspect he didn't, so yeah, fair enough. #perspective indeed.

On a similar basis is it just me but do the BBC (and fivelive particularly) seem to be desparate for Man U to win the title and City to ballls it up! On the BBC website the otherday 3 of the first 7 headline stories were from Utd souces saying how City were going to blow it, and the phone in this AM that apparently Balotelli has cost them the title was just odd!

I know the BBC have moved to Salford and thus utd are now their local team, but i don't remember then adopting this local news approach with QPR when they were in Sheperds bush!

Crawley are not criticised so much for spending money, they are criticised for spending money that they don't have. We have the revenues to justify it, they don't.

He's hardly putting things into perspective at all, we just happen to be a big fish in a small pond.

Crawley have deffo lived above their means which is why they have sold players and Evans has fucked off,but we have been there and done it previously. We have also thrown alot of money at this campaign which we coudn't have without the boards backing.

Fact is he is a manager unproven....winning things at Stamford,Boston and Crawley dont make you the Messiah.

Fuck me wasn't it him who took Boston out of the league in the first place.

Let's face it every story on the BBC site is PL related, top right hand corner click "League and Competitions" select League Two and you might think you're avoiding it but you're not, there's links to poxy PL stuff on our pages as well

And no Balotelli has not cost them the title, their inability to grind out a result when not playing well has, nothing to do with Balotelli, he didn't get sent off till the 89th min yesterday

journalists are scumbags
