There is no media agenda beyond getting people to read their articles. The papers are not pro-Arsenal, pro-Chelsea or pro-United, they're pro-big clubs because that's what people want to read about.

so.... I suppose I should put my torch and pitchfork back in the shed? :shifty:

The majority of journalists are patronising trolls, so best not to pay attention.

The only ones I can listen to without wanting to kick the TV or screw up the newspaper are Henry Winter and Patrick Barkley.

Hate Barkley, never seen or heard a good word bout spurs. Winter is fine.

I do like martin lipton, sam wallace, jason burt and andy dunn as writers and on the sunday supplement.

Martin samuel, neil ashton and rob beasley are horrible cretinuous and hugely anti spurs, on tele and in print

Samuel is a condescending twat. On the rare occasion that I watch Sunday Supplement and he's on it I want to kick the telly.


Well he's certainly no stranger to a knife and fork................

Media = Shit ****s

Martin Samuel in particular has had Man United signing Kane, Alli and Pochettino this week alone

When he really should be thinking about a New Years resolution of losing about 10 stone!

I unfortunately read the Kane article and he just came across as a jealous pikey.

Print media is obviously produced to sell and fact is the "big 5" will sell more chip wrappers than Spurs and Leicester.

When have the print media ever been know for accurate reporting ?

What always amazing me is that the majority of them clearly know nothing about the game itself. I can just about stomach the transfer lies,or the agenda driven articles, but when they start demanding tactical changes or starting 11's it all becomes too much. Don't get me wrong there are some decent ones out there but I've always felt that most of them have barely kicked a ball in frustration.

The funniest thing I saw was Charlie Nicholas predicting Everton to finish above us! The gooner twat!

So basically you are agreeing that they have an agenda

A so called writer in today's Daily Mirror called David Kidd practically telling Man Utd they should go get Poch as their next manager and that Poch would definitely fancy joining them.:(

They clearly write to/for the masses in order to maximise their sales. Just as we often see ridiculous headlines on football websites to invite clicks ($$$).

I actually feel a little sorry for most of them as due to the decline in newspaper sales, and the enormous increase in internet viewers, they're almost forced to conjure up stories in order to try to help sell the product they work for. Must be a tough job constantly fighting against the odds.

Martin Samuels is a fricken corpulent windbag douche of the highest order. Ladyman is even worse. Moronic cretins who are the worst of the Manure, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Lollerpool cheerleading cock sucking sycophantic verbal vomit merchants. Reading their shite is like watching fucking animal porn. You'll never ever forgive yourself for going there in the first place even though it was out of simple curiosity because every other sonofabitch had a quick look before you!

There's a great article for Samuel haters today.... I won't post the link as, despite mentioning it, I don't want to generate too many hits on it! It's quite funny.
