The rags must have many many friends within the media in this country. I honestly cannot remember the last time I read a negative article about them anywhere, in fact I’m not sure one even exists.
No matter what they do, how much they spend, how often they cheat, the media WILL put a positive spin on it. When that buck-toothed wanker goes down in the area without anybody touching him, the press simply say ‘he went down perhaps a little too easily’. Any other club (apart from the dippers, maybe) and they’d say ‘It was a deliberate attempt to con the referee’.
The tabloids are the worst, far and away the worst: but a number of the broadsheets are also somewhat reluctant to criticise the club for anything.
There has to be some kind of deal going on because no club should be seen as above criticism. But they seem to be.
