Martin Samuel appreciation

[Blue Hefner]

As much as I like Samuel, it’s a sad state of affairs that we need to celebrate a journalist just for being objective. No wonder the industry is on its arse given the paucity of intelligent, considered sports writers out there. So many of them stealing a living.

The majority should stick to writing match reports and counting corners

You're one of those jokers who read the paper in the newsagents, aren't ya?

Seen his type in our local Tesco library !

Samuels comments on liverpool this morning were interesting:
“the amount they run, they way they play, what Klopp expects, is not normal. They should be tired, but they’re not. Amazing”
Or words to that effect.

oh, yeah, and that their best asset is their recruitment strategy. Funny that.

Perhaps it may be something to do with the fact they may take performance enhancing scouse pie or extra vitamins that aren’t available on the open market yet, perhaps....

Now you know how they got rid of those empty (ahem) bottles at klanfield 2 years ago

That clip should be shared millions of times on social media, especially now.

Surely someone can find that clip

He was and still is one of the best journalists out there. If you read his coverage on the Middle East you know it is right. His views on the politics behind this UEFA saga would be fascinating. There's always a lone voice who tells it like it is instead of following the pack.

Yep. I have a deep respect for the man and he taught me something very important; the power of words and a responsibility to be careful with those words.

Out of curiosity, what did you mean in the final sentence?
