Tabloid shte that could have come from the pen of Rash.

Be fair to Rash, its not that entertaining.

[TLW]

they should remove his name from that report and replace it with the sub editor's.

I thought it was a shite read. Content was pretty spot on except for the Gerrard Penalty decision. But the layout was fucking tripe, and the style had a reading age for a 8 year old.

Very glad to hear that.

At the moment the press are trying hard to convince anyone who'll listen that Rafa's lost the plot, and they're doing a good job of it.

 

There seem to be plenty of our own fans listening.

[Rashid]

Our fans form our own opinions, it has fuck all to do with the rags. 75% were livid with the team selection at Pompey and many were hacked with Torres on the bench against Birmingham before a ball was kicked and before a hack started writing... same goes for the Everton game and the Gerrard stuff.

We're having a wobble and Rafa does baffle me, but hard to knock the decision to bring on Lucas. And but for some woeful finishing by Voronin and Riise we could have comfortably won.

After reading that, it confirms that he is over-compensating probably to appease Everton fans reading the piece who obviusly know he used to be the Liverpool FC correspondent for the Echo. Poorly written, typical tabloid and we shouldn't be surprised as anything to do with the S*n is a disgrace, all the more reason to carry on with the 18 year boycott of the guttter rag, and that includes the News of the World, which as everyone knows is the Sunday S*n.

Really? Why the fuck have they hired the lad then? Tabloid newspapers are mad, aren't they?

I often wonder whether people like the Editor and sub-editor etc know their market really well and dumb everything down as they know their readership are semi-illiterate fuckwitted refugees from the jeremy Kyle show.

Or they ensure all their writers write in one style as it's easy to do and promotes brand unity, seriously underestimating the intelligence of their readership in the process.

Who kjnows - probably a bit of both

The NOTW has got more ABC1 readers than The Sunday Times, so they clearly aren't all "semi-illiterate fuckwitted refugees".

[GRADY]

Very fuckin poor. I appreciate he's not supposed to go to overboard but for fucks sake you wouldnt know he was a l'pool fan.

Dont agree with the debate about gerrards pen. Hes runnin at speed, hibbert has got hold of his top and there is physical contact to the leg. He is going to go down, its going to be a pen and hibbbert is gonna get sent off.

 

To get headlines if any decision goes 1 way they try to look for anythin else that can make it look like everything went that way but in my opinion its only the lescott last min pen that went against them.

Then why do they dumb down so much? What's the incentive and how do they make money out of it?

I think you'd be surprised at how many people buy one "tabloid" and also "one quality" paper on a Sunday, one for a quick scan, the other for the supplements and more weighty analysis.

 

And the NOTW is far, far better than it used to be; I think the football coverage is pretty good.
