Raw Dykes Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 What an absolute tosser he is. p.s. I love Kingy, but he certainly isn't underrated. That journalist needs to get the sand out of his vagina. Agreed - King is a good player, but he's slightly over-rated if anything.
Bugg Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 CLARIDGE WORKS FOR THE MIRROR??? On the Claridge note, I was watching Final Score and when Matt Holland was praising us, Claridge was about to explode.
Wymsey Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Thought reporters not allowed to be biased against clubs whilst reporting on games?
stu Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Couldn't even get the fvcking score right... that's how credible that bullshit is.
gazfox9 Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Well happy with todays result. Thought we played pretty well. We created all the better openings in the game, and Coventry never once looked like scoring, which is a huge credit to the boys. As already mentioned, the midfield were quality today, Wellens, Danns, Fernandes and King when he came on. Yuki Abe deserves a massive amount of praise though, filling in at right back when Peltier went off he looked outstanding! All in all a very good day. Bring on Reading.
Guest ttfn Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 What an absolute tosser he is. p.s. I love Kingy, but he certainly isn't underrated. Disagree. I think that on here he isn't underrated, but by the journalistic community he certainly is, especially when compared to the absolute rim-job the likes of McGugan and Grant Holt have had in recent months. What a ridiculous, spiteful article. I can't believe somebody has been paid to write that. I really hope we get promoted just to shove it up the arses of dicks like this. That is not acceptable journalism.
1994fox Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 On the Claridge note, I was watching Final Score and when Matt Holland was praising us, Claridge was about to explode. Im just looking forward to his invaluable insight on the FLS. Thought reporters not allowed to be biased against clubs whilst reporting on games? Stringer is hilariously bias
Bugg Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Im just looking forward to his invaluable insight on the FLS. THEY WERE LUCKY, THEY SPENT AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE ON LOANS LAST SEASON HERP DERP DERP
Corky Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 That Mirror man seems rather upset. Don't cry too much.
themotivator Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 who's this guy blowing to get a go writing for a national news paper? over opinionated bollocks. just because the NOTW closed doesnt mean you have free range to print utter turd and bitch of about things you don't properly understand. I'm only going on the fact that everyone else on here and the BBC gave us credit for the win as i was at work today. Gutted i didn't make it down. The last time i went to cov away was with Levien i think. iirc it was 3-1, im sure somebody will correct me, and some old drunken chav was treading on the heels of my trainers all the way back. (me being about 15 managed to restrain myself from pointing out his "clumsiness"). Anyway taking into consideration Vassells red and the fact that we had a lot of new faces today, then 1-0 is a fantastic result. Fernandes sounds a cracking signing and glad to hear both midfield and defence held up and did the club proud. So unbelievably up for Reading now. Lets show Long what he's missing.
Vlad the Fox Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Must say that is poor journalism and far from impartial. Reads like a six formers bitter football blog. We are going to come across alot of bitterness this season. You expect it from supporters of other clubs, lets face it we're all the same breed and I'm sure some of ours would would react the same in different circumstances. But you expect quality writing from paid reporters and that report lacks professionalism.
Guest Bilo Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 People are taking something written in the declining Labour Party fanzine that is The Mirror seriously? It's a red top with delusions of grandeur that has been experiencing falling sales for years, few people take their articles without a pinch of salt. Ten minutes research would have told them that 'your ground's too big for you' is a chant that has been slung at Coventry since they opened the Ricoh Arena, their attendances have always left them wide open, so quite why he's picking up on our usage of it is somewhat shrouded in mystery. I also like how he implies the Poznan is Manchester City's own, without having the wherewithal to realise that the name in itself is a big clue that its origins lie well outside the North West of England. That article reads like the scarcely viewed blog of a frustrated teenage wannabe journalist who simply wishes to get himself noticed by spouting enough cliched and weak attempts at humour (Wellens collapsed with a sharp scream, and clutched his leg as if a backstreet butcher was attempting to amputate it with a pen knife) to anger his victims and amuse a small readership. The sad thing is that if not for low rent tabloids like The Mirror, that's pretty much exactly what it would be.
marbelladave Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Following on, contrary to what a lot of people have said, I was slightly less than impressed with our midfield. Fernandez looked class, Abe and Wellens huffed and puffed and got involved but to little effect and Danns, out of position throughout, looked, at times, a bit lost. None of them actually played poorly but as I said earlier, collectively they lacked focus and any real sense of purpose. Up against a poor Coventry side they managed to create, what 3 maybe 4 chances? City had parity of numbers for the best part of an hour and could not score from open play, no pace, no width, no creativity, sounds very familiar. Ok, first game of the season and all new starting XI (from the opening game last season) and of course 3 points but the opposition was crap. We beat the poorer sides last season easily enough, just like today, but when the better sides showed up we caved. Reading only managed a draw today but will be a much tougher test next week at the KP. Should be interesting!
B52 Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 who's this guy blowing to get a go writing for a national news paper? over opinionated bollocks. ...... I feel sorry for you englishmen. Journos in Sweden writing like that are on the (far) right and writing political blogs with over opiniated bollocks... Useful link on how some journos in England are treating Sven since he managed England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_suppression_techniques Great win and now we all see why it's important to have a large squad. One game into the season and already two players out....
fox ache Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Well its started, we`ve only played 1 game and the jealousies kicked in ,"trying to buy the league", heard it all before. "It used to be a nice club", or something like that.............. Still is knob, apart from the fans are once again being heard, get used to it. "poznan,be original lads", how many other clubs today have done it???? It worked for us, because your talking about us, and its pissing you off because our fans have bonded and will be turning a lot of stands over the season into a "bearpit" LEICESTER ARE BACK........................................DEAL WITH IT
fox ache Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Was gonna reply to him, but it kept coming up `invalid postcode` !!!!!! anyone else tried??

accessory Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Is this guy a twat or what Sunday Mirror match reportFootball, eh? The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sven Goran Eriksson is still the great survivor, gliding serenely through life with the bashful smile of an eternal schoolboy. Darius Vassell remains a roadrunner, with a brain the size and consistency of a pickled walnut. Richie Wellens proves that players will continue to get fellow professionals sent off without the slightest compunction. Carl Baker’s 38th minute challenge on him was late, rash rather than malicious. Wellens collapsed with a sharp scream, and clutched his leg as if a backstreet butcher was attempting to amputate it with a pen knife. Referee Darren Deadman, who had sent Vassell off for a wild lunge at Baker in the 10th minute, couldn’t wait to get his red card out. Leicester had the craft, power and intelligence to make use of the greater space created by a ten-a-side match. Wellens was, with ominous predictability, the game’s pivotal figure. He drove Eriksson’s expensively- assembled strangers forward from midfield, and delivered the free kick from which Lee Peltier headed the only goal, seven minutes into the second half. Once again, the end justified the means. Even before the sun tans fade, Coventry have the pallid look of losers. They played neat one touch football, but lacked composure and resilience. Predictions of relegation have a worrying authenticity. The Championship is an unforgiving League. Fifteen clubs have changed managers over the past year, and Leicester’s Thai owners are under the impression they are purchasing a Premier League brand. It still seems a strange environment in which to find Sven (above), whose career has meandered, from Manchester City to Leicester, via Mexico, Notts County and the Ivory Coast. He has an unerring instinct for lucrative employment, but looked as out of place as a giraffe in a coal mine. He remains a hands-off coach, and restricted himself to occasional bouts of diffident applause from the edge of his technical area. The fans, of course, love him. More than 6,000 of them turned the Stadium, whose sponsors’ name escapes me, into a bearpit. Each one of them qualifies for a free pint at the next home game, but, predictably, they have the arrogance of the nouveau riche. They chanted “your ground’s too big for you”, at swathes of empty sky blue seats, and even did the Posnan as a goal celebration. Be original, chaps. You might think you are a mini Man City, but you don’t need to copy everything they do. Superiority complexes don’t suit what used to be a friendly club. Eriksson looks to have purchased a team to get out of the Division, rather than one designed to thrive on promotion. He said: “All of the players we brought have a lot experience. They’re not old but have a lot of experience of this league. “I think the referee got it right. “If he shows the red card to Darius he has to show the red card to the Coventry player too. Darius is not famous for being a tough or ugly player. Maybe he has arrived with his foot up, so… “I think when we were ten versus ten we came back well. Our new right back scored the winning goal and we didn’t sign him to score goals but he did.” Strangely, Sven did not find room in his starting line up for Andy King, one of the most under-rated midfield players outside the Premier League. He has gone for lavishly rewarded journeymen like Paul Konchesky. Not even his Mum could argue that his career is in anything other than decline. It is fortunate that Coventry lacked pace, even compared to the squirrel which invaded the pitch midway through the first half. Amazing how surreal the sights can be, when you are a refugee from the press box. The home fans, on the cashless concourses, were not happy with their team, who were restricted to long range efforts by David Bell and Lukas Jutkiewicz. Leicester should have taken the lead two minutes from the break, when David Nugent’s free header hit the base of the post, and rebounded into the arms of static goalkeeper Joe Murphy. They held on with some ease. Sven, the old rascal, got lucky yet again. The fcukwit couldn't even get the score right! No wonder he doesn't give his name.. Probably a refugee from News Of The World.
Danno Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 How the **** did he rip his collar? He was trying to get it off to just wear his spiderman suit underneath
Raw Dykes Posted 6 August 2011 Posted 6 August 2011 Haha. We been on FL show yet? Not yet, they've only covered Brighton v Doncaster so far. I wonder if we'll get to hear Claridge's thoughts on us.
