Check out his latest Tweet? "Do you want some news about M'Villa ?" Methinks he may be getting a slapped wrist soon although I'm sure he's being tongue in cheek.
I reckon it's an 'in' joke at QPR that M'bia breaks all the latest news. Must be positive if the account is real.
He does. Personally, I find the whole press and PR operation at QPR continues to be way to amateurish for my tastes. But that may just be because my day job touches on that side of things and I've learned to detest leaks and unprofessional behaviour on the part of colleagues. If the club is comfortable in this strange new world of employees doing bits of maverick, unplanned comms then that's up to the owners and management, I guess.
I actually like hearing the news from him, you can tell hes just excited rather than the QPR web staff looking for followers. Lets face it, he was right about Remy and I have no doubt he was influential in bringing him here.
Mbia has to be one of the biggest characters we've had at the club for a long time. I think it would take a bit of a killjoy to begrudge him his fun on twitter. This is clearly and "in joke" with his followers- who ribbed him for the Remy leak, suggesting he was some kind of omniscient fountain of knowledge.
His account is real....Ian Taylor has confirmed it.....he even tweeted a pic of him and Remy the other day when he signed in the changing rooms.
I wrote before the L'pool game that I really liked this lad's character, attitude etc and then he went and disgraced himself in that game! So I'm not going to say anything good, bad or indifferent about the boy again!
Sadly the words 'press' and 'unprofessional' go hand in hand today, and when you throw 'football' in it takes it to yet another level. At least nobody's life is ruined by this amateurism, as the level of cynicism makes us think several times about all of these stories related to football. Way back in the last century, when I was young, Woodward and Bernstein were heroes of mine (well below Stan, Gerry and Joe Strummer of course) and I really wanted to be a journalist. Did a year at Reuters then fled abroad, disillusioned. TIME, out of interest, which clubs do you reckon run a tight ship on press and PR? Guessing Utd are quite handy.
