Investigative journalism is one of the foundations of a free press which is a foundation of a free society. If you would rather live under a rock with your head buried in the sand then you're still entitled to do that, opt out of reading. Once you remove the rights of the press to investigate a story then you are on a road to dictatorship. The british press has good and bad journalistic institutions but at least they have free ones. Look around the world and see whats happening to the press and be very afraid, too many outlets owned by too few individuals deciding what stories they want you to know about. Its not a good thing. Applaud this, its dragging dirt into the light, dirt which concerns your national representatives. The more this happens the better.

The Tulisa sting was hideous though.
 
Club and international management are not the same. Give it to Southgate.
 
Dear BBC
can I have a job doing your live texts?
I can do better than this!
"Former England defender Alan Shearer has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 live about Sam Allardyce."

Alan Green is loving it. Best day of his career.
 
Well well well, I wonder what will be going through his head tonight. Dream job and he's ruined it due to not keeping his gob shut.

Utter utter plank.


As for next, see how Southgate does in these games, if he does well then give him a crack, why not?
 
Get Wenger in, like I wanted, he'll get us playing great football...What is it about a certain generation of English born Managers?...Venables, Redknob and now Fat Sam...

Edit: Cloughie was a great Manager, but he wasn't exactly clean also..
 
What. A. Prat.

I would be pissed off if he hadn't said Rooney can do what he like - ignoring team orders. Wazzock.

Rooney must be pretty p**sed off after wasting all that time creeping to Sam, unless he fancies a loan move to WBA in Jan after the fat man takes over of couse.

But really, who/what are the other bad boys the Telegraph are going to expose? Any chance our club will be tainted by the fallout?
 
Bit worried about the big man. How many of us actually get that dream job they always wanted - and then do something stupid and lose it straight away - he's somewhere thinking I had it all - it's gone, for ever, I'll be ridiculed for ever. He's not a bad man I think, just a football man, in a football world. .

That's my reaction too.
