Well done, Martin ... for having the bravery to tell it like it is ... despite all the hatred that it invites from fans of all those so-called 'elite' clubs.

Martin Samuel appreciation

That is brilliant writing. Wolves are realising they were wrong. Burnley and Leicester are full of rags and dippers.
Wolves are obviously seeing the potential leaps they can make and realising they were wrong.
I think clubs like Burnley are playing the opportunist game whilst also playing the long game. Trying to nick a European spot but probably looking at other ways of cementing the elite, like; making it harder to be relegated from the Premier League. For example how long until clubs try and make that 3rd relegation spot, a playoff vs a Championship side to stay up.

It's telling that Martin doesn't have a Twitter account. While the rest of them are chasing retweets and brown-nosing to the plastic supporters of the history clubs, he's doing proper sports journalism.

Great article.
I don't often read the Daily Mail as it's not my cup of tea, but I read his article and it's a breath of fresh air when you usually just see a pile of depressing rubbish written about us.
Hats off to Martin, but what a crap paper to write for.

Martin Samuel is one of the few journalists I will actually pay attention to. Surprised he still has a job as he doesn't fall into line with the cartel.

Another great article by Martin Samuel. He sees things the way we do and is not afraid to go against the pack.

The follow up is even better. It's now absolutely clear that this was a campaign to ruin us which was orchestrated by other clubs in England and abroad. Does anyone still believe there is no agenda against us?

Has Martin Samuel done a piece on the match? If so, I’ll get down to the newsagent.

He used to work for the Mail so makes senseAm fairly sure I saw him in a very nice pub in Salford this evening,talking to what looked like another journalist,from the Daily Mail.
Most of the haters live and drink around Didsbury, Custis (Fletcher Moss) McDonnell (Crown Heaton Mersey) R Smith etc
I wanted to go and have a chat with him and congratulate him on the standard of his sports writing but thought better of it as I wasn’t 100% sure it was him,either that or he has an identical twin brother.He used to work for the Mail so makes sense
