Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: Rooky9 on October 13, 2008, 02:32:47 PM Completely pointless article written by someone who doesn't seem to grasp the concept that you can't measure things like this across completely different era's. And thats before starting on the home advantage factor in major tourns.
Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: CrestOfaWave on October 13, 2008, 02:40:00 PM so if it was 0-0 and Beckham came on to supply the cross and they win 1-0 would the vitriol still be evident. Jeff Powell GFY.
Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: DaveShoelace on October 13, 2008, 02:40:58 PM Yep, awful article, that guy is the Lucy Rokach of football journalism.
What he is really saying is "Im old and I wish I wasnt" Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: Acidmouse on October 13, 2008, 02:41:18 PM Read it this morning, wondered why he bothered.
Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: TightEnd on October 13, 2008, 02:43:09 PM Jeff Powell has been a joke for over a decade. To be fair a lot of tabloid football journalists are too.
Henry Winter at the Telegraph, Paddy Barclay and Ian Ridley FTW As to article, waste of time/non-story/muck-raking Title: Re: Worst football article ever written?

Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: Karabiner on October 13, 2008, 04:23:13 PM [X] This is typical Daily Mail rabble-rousing journalism

Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: Teacake on October 13, 2008, 05:58:33 PM Henry Winter at the Telegraph, Paddy Barclay and Ian Ridley FTW I beg to differ, Hugh McIvanney every time Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: TightEnd on October 13, 2008, 06:04:06 PM Henry Winter at the Telegraph, Paddy Barclay and Ian Ridley FTW I beg to differ, Hugh McIvanney every time On general sport, sure but mine were the football writers Mail Sports jounros are the Pits. They have a general sports features guy called Patrick Collins who writes the most obsequious lazy self serving pieces of tripe it is my misfortune to read in a sporting context. Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: Colchester Kev on October 13, 2008, 06:11:08 PM telegraph for the best sports coverage imo
Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: gatso on October 13, 2008, 06:17:22 PM Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: rossfourfive on October 13, 2008, 06:25:08 PM Couldn't be arsed reading it all but this bit stood out. He's a prik imo.
"England's fans were described as ‘shameful’ by Saturday’s stand-in captain and ‘disgraceful’ by at least one ex-international on television. Their crime? Booing Ashley Cole. Boo-hoo. The real shame is that the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Graeme Le Saux should be utterly incapable of comprehending the reason for Wembley rounding on their poor little Ashley." I truly despise Ashley Cole with all my heart but the England fans booing him on Saturday make me sick. Scum bag journalists like this guy only back up the boo boys. Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: The Baron on October 13, 2008, 06:27:12 PM Not a great article but I've seen worse. 90% of football articles are utter bollox.
Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: Maxriddles on October 13, 2008, 09:59:27 PM Got bored just before halfway through. His point seems to be that he doesn't like celebrity footballers, how dare they get more caps than legends who won things, wasn't it great in the old days, and these young tossers wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in the 60s/70s.
Dave Shoelace hits the nail on the head earlier in the thread. Title: Re: Worst football article ever written? Post by: scotty2hatty on October 13, 2008, 10:32:58 PM not necessarily an article but Dom has written a decent piece on the scoop troop blog....
