Has Merson started drinking again?

Didn't know he'd stopped to be honest. Some serious knowledge going into that post though. The great bastion of unbiased reporting in the mirror along with the sagest of musings from Cokehead. I'm trying to fully digest the in depth reporting here. Sounds a bit like expensive signing not yet confirmed might not turn out to be very good if he actually signs but then doesn't play very good and gets dropped from the team. Thank fuck I'm going over to the rags in August when Eric the half a bee takes over at the stye

Imagine being Paul Brown including that on purpose in the article, just to spice it up.

And to think, Merson and Brown get paid for talking about and writing this pile of sh*te.

The football media in this country has lost the plot.

Two titles and two cups in five years with Ajax, far and away the biggest club in Holland, is not that impressive. It is essentially the bare minimum in a very weak League. Let's wait and see.

The issue with the media is summed up by Talk Sport.....
You listen to the sports news headlines and it is always things like this.....
"Danny Murphy has stated exclusively on Talk Sport that... (insert a comment about whatever manager / player / team was being discussed earlier in the day)

Or
Danny Mills has said exclusively on Talk Sport that he believes (insert a comment about whatever manager / player / team was being discussed earlier in the day)

This isn't "news" - it is opinion. And it's worthless. If he had said it on any other media platform, it would not be on the "news bulletin" on Talk Sport

If he had a good track record of predicting investment in assets worth 100s of millions then clubs would have him on the payroll. Instead he’s on Radio drunken bums.

Has Merson started drinking again?

Has his brain cell not learned anything from his "paying so much for DeBruyne is an absolute joke" rant?

The guy's a coke addled moron!

He's the new Aldridge/Colleymore/other deluded Liverpool pundits rolled into one.

Should fit in nicely then. Apparently, according to some media experts, we were disrespectful towards Harry Kane for not stumping up £150 million. The very same critics who are horrified at the fee we are paying for a much younger Haaland.
