Rory Smith is a child who tries to write like that twat James Lawton, but without any of Lawton's redeeming footballing insight and Tony Evans is a blubbering fool without any journalism education. Did you hear him on TalkSport the other week? He sounded like he was about to burst into tears, very professional that. Every journalist has his own agenda and I won't blame them for that. These 'good reds' wanted Rafa to stay, they think the club has made a mistake, so everything they see (and report on), they'll see in light of this mistake. They will make a comparison in their head and everytime Roy comes up short against Rafa, they'll happily highlight it. In this case they can point out that the situation at the club has even managed to get wise, old Roy all worked up (, so what did chance did Rafa have?) Just human nature of wanting your own judgement to be proved right. The journalists who've been calling for an English Manager for a while, will still be reporting things in favour of Roy. Journo's like Henry Winter, Martin Lipton etc. are going to report positively about us for a while. And I bet you anything that when things do go badly, then those journalists will finally start to focus more on the malign influence of our ownership.
