Manchester Evening News

[Exeter Blue I am here]

There's about 500 seats on display in that picture, of which a grand total of 12 have red rings around them. The score is 1-0 to Chelsea and from the position of the players (Willian, Nastasic, Silva etc), it appears to still be the 1st half. Let's say 4 of the 500 have gone for a slash and 4 have tried to beat the half time rush for a pie or a pint, which leaves 4 genuine empties out of 500, or 8 out of 1000, or a paltry 384 out of 48000, most of which could be accounted for by long distance season ticket holders unable to make it or people who had an unexpected emergency. And even that's on the assumption that the MUEN hasn't deliberately cherry picked the least densely populated part of the ground for its screenshot, which you can bet a pound to a piece of shit that it has.
Whatever, fucking pathetic. One of the biggest pieces of bullshit it's ever come up with, and that's saying something! Fuck off. Cnuts

This article is a disgrace. It's unbalanced, a distortion (the match sold our weeks ago) and makes the Evening News into a laughing stock. Stuart Brennan, who I have a lot of time for, must be ashamed of his paper. Surely it is time for those few City fans who still get the paper to boycott it.
More importantly it is time for those of us who work in business to support an advertising boycott.

Have you read SB`s update ?

It's just hot air. Happens too often. Article written. SB apologises. Give it another two months and we will be back here again.

Nobody from the MEN has apologised, only issued a hastily written alternative view.

Pete Marshall ‏@petemarshall7 1h
@MENnewsdesk Keyboard warriors out in force to attack @david_lynch88 Wonder how many would actually say some of that to his face?

Just what the fucking hell is that?

Who is this Pete Marshall?
If he's not a school child he fucking needs to grow up a bit, how pathetic

He needs a good kicking

If Peter Marshall really is someone on the MEN Newsdesk then he has just put himself in a dreadful position. You can't get personally involved in a story like this. Makes you wonder who is supervising this operation

 

[lust overlord]

I would imagine he has. The issue is that that article got through in the first place not whatever fire fighting Stuart has been up to. Someone at the paper has done it plenty of damage today.

A Scouser by the sound of it.Can`t trust the fuckers with anything.

Nah it's the editor/web team, whoever was meant to audit articles before posting them. It's a shit article, Mr Lynch should have been told that and to write something else. That he wasn't is a much worse reflection on the MEN than the fact that they've got a shit reporter on the books.

^^
This.

That notwithstanding, I'd happily say it to his face

Empty seats = blues at the bar. End of.

No he is not affiliated with the M.E.N bud, just some fella chipping in on twitter.
Some reporter from York or something.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Amusingly he is flapping like fuck on twitter now I'm confronting him about the consequences of this. He's in the shit about this, I will bet you. I don't know if I can copy from my iPad but it's funny.

If the MEN had any sense they would pull the article immediately and issue an apology. This will seriously damage them.

keyboard warrior? Isn't that exactly what the wankstain who typed the shit in the first place is? I for one would be happy to meet him at a place and time of his choosing
