Hatchet job on Jorge Messi in The Athletic today.

I didn’t renew my subscription after it turned into a Dipper Fanzine

I love him.

He's known his kid was going to be the best since he was 13.

It's funny, Adam Crafton clearly wrote it as a negative article, but it just paints a portrait of someone who, despite being a sheet metal worker by trade, has always destroyed Barcelona in negotiations, since the very first meeting.

There was one bizarre piece about father and son going into a UEFA event and Jorge was seen talking to Rod Stewart. This was spun as somehow being very negative as Jorge, by stopping to chat to Stewart, was deemed to be passing up a networking opportunity with UEFA bigwigs.

Makes me relieved that I no longer subscribe. I like Sam but would happily not pay the likes of Mitten, Pearce and Hughes to basifally write fanzine pieces.

Me neither. Mine finishes next week.

Yeah I think that was the dumbest thing in the whole article. Really showed the intent was basically to find anything bad people had to say about the Messi's and relay it, rather than actually question why Jorge Messi can't speak to Rod Stewart.

On and on and on....

Got to love his fake concern for Foden.

Here's what he really means:

Must be great if you're Barney Ronay, David Silva has finally left, looking forward to City becoming a worse team as a result, oh now they're buying the best player in the world ffs.

It's because he called Stewart a plastic rag **** and his lad will destroy his team single handedly in a City shirt.

Didn't Salty Silly Sally (covering all bases!) do the intro for Pep, if I recall correctly? Her gushing tone with Saint Marcus is a low but the bar ain't exactly high.

Dunno what is about BBC "sports" reporters but they all seem to be a bit shit and will always hate us in perpetuity. Rob Bonnet, Mihir Bose, Kevin Geary, real oxygen stealers. Barry Davies and his ilk seem to be from a different age.

On the plus side Salty Sall's much easier on the eye than Dan Twunt Roan. Theres probably more impartial reporting in Pravda than our national broadcaster.

Couple of nice balanced articles from the BBC today about the decline of messi and Walker breaking lockdown restrictions and getting a telling off/dropped by Southgate. Still no news about the white footballer from Utd being guilty though......
