Jackson is a truly abysmal writer, both in stylistic terms and as regards the quality of his analysis. There are some true charlatans earning a crust these days writing about football for the broadsheet press, but he's quite possibly the worst of the lot.

Did anyone else see any of the novel he published under the name Jamie Paradise? I saw an extract and it was so bad that I genuinely wondered whether it was some kind of elaborate joke.

I saw the free excerpt. It was quite dreadful. I feel obliged to allow others to experience it.

Absolutely spot on. His writing style offends the English language. Absolutely dreadful.

Plus the **** absolutely hates us. The last dozen years must have fucking killed him!

I have a fairly high tolerance for this kind of sub-sub-sub-Ellroy bollocks but I couldn't get past a couple of paragraphs.

It's not very good, is it? The old short sentences = tension idea laid waste.
He wrote a diary of a season at MU in note form, I saw a page of it and it was even worse!
 
I know sly don't exactly promote CL games to the hilt because they don’t have live coverage, but to have us feature about 20 articles down on the app is a joke, yet the Scallies will get wall to wall exposure tomorrow despite being practically out

Holy. Fuck. That's bad. Real bad. A bad book. A cheap trick. A spotty teen doing a desperate Ed McBain. Makes me wanna hurl. Spew my guts across the screen. Leave a puddle of A-grade vom right there on the floor. Stand back and catch my breath. Retch and gag. Watch some slick cat slip on my chunder. Fall flat on his ass. Wiped out. KO. Out for the count.

Holy crap Jamie, we can all do daft short sentences, but you have to know how to use them in moderation.

What a wanker.

Now now, there are many of us on this forum who've indulged in the time-honoured, traditional pastime of pocket billiards, who don't deserve to be grouped in with Mr. Paradise.

There are wankers that are offended at being grouped with him.

It is bad - for the draughtspeople on here; reading that was like having autocad on snap.
