If you think writing clickbait headlines with awful content is really gonna make me think "next time i see this quality journalism written in print form i'll snap it off the shelves" then think again. Like there isnt enough advertisements around the website without asking people shit like "whats your weekly wage?" before they can even read an article.

Well they wouldn't need to put up those awful intrusive ads or try and attract as many clicks as possible to impress advertisers if people actually bought the paper. At the end of the day they're giving you free news on that website. Admittedly I don't read the Merc very often as I live outside its circulation area, but when I do I find it's a much better offering than the clickbait stuff on the website. If you want good journalism, pay for it.
Hollyfox Posted 15 February 2019 Posted 15 February 2019 Surely if Claude believes that Vardy insulted him on the pitch after the Utd game, he'd be banned from the squad and fined. Making him sub is hardly a punishment and doesn't set an example to younger members of the squad.

Then suddenly..the easy afflicted then make up agendas on half-truths,or down right sht-stirring... (I am not meaning you) It amazes me how so called,clever individuals jump all over fisherwives tails, and spring even higher to use unconfirmed tittle-tattle,to build up their own agenda,on a bloody football-forum... If it was political,.. it borders on indoctrined propaganda...And goes far OTT and too serious for sporting-forums... This forum has this season ,got a little obnoxious and irritating,when witch-hunting players/manager and stories made up around them!!! I know what you mean, it is like 'chinese whispers' at points, with everyone (journo's and posters) overplaying whatever scraps of info we have. I'm including myself in that. I wasn't on here during the great escape, but the period just before must have been pretty grim too. I have this theory that being on the internet is a bit like driving a car. When we are protected in a metal box, or protected by distance electronically, we often show our true colours.
