I think he deserves his own thread for his continued service to good football banter (oi oi!)

I posted one of his things about 2 years ago and you cunts said it was rubbish. Tth can suck it.

[Lewis]

The Guardian football section is so shit now. Unless it was never actually good, but it was just the first one to pack loads in and talk about foreign football to get all the HIPSTERS interested, and then SG (and his little mate Yevrah) told everybody it was good.

[John]

That's crap. Like someone's storyboarded one of those shit videos Jeet used to post.

Football Weekly is still good on occasion, but I've fallen out with Barney Ronay and his recycled similies completely.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm sure the 'Chicken connoisseur' backlash is already well underway, but he is a legend.

[Dark Soldier]

He's class, you cynical bunch of cunts.

[Disco]

I actually got that reference.

[Boydy]

I'm sure the 'Chicken connoisseur' backlash is already well underway, but he is a legend.

I saw something the other day on Facebook about how he was another example of the white media taking advantage of and making money from (clicks/advertising revenue, I think the argument went) black creatives.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I wonder what they think the 'white media' is.

But yes, as a white person I definitely shouldn't have watched his videos. The races should be kept apart.

[Boydy]

Prettt much just the mainstream media, I think. I dunno. Surely them writing about him going viral increases his exposure and is therefore good for black creatives?

[John]

If you're the sort of twonk who uses the phrase 'black creatives' then you're almost certainly of the opinion that no white person can ever be good for any black person.

[Kikó]

That's crap. Like someone's storyboarded one of those shit videos Jeet used to post.

Disappointing.

And the Granuaid has some good writers - look at Daniel Taylor for the number one example. Him and Barney Ronay are worth a read. Jamie Jackson (useless), that pleb from zonal marking (boring) and Jonathan Wilson (extremely boring) bring them down.

[Lewis]

There is more insight, humour, and original thinking here than there is across the entire mainstream football media. I will add 'printed' to that, since we would defer to Gary Neville on where a right-back should be; but even he lets himself down when he starts groping towards the wider world.

[Raoul Duke]

The Spanish/Italian/German writers are awesome. Also 'Said & Done' and 'The Fiver' are great too.

[Yevrah]

+1 for crap.

I did I used to champion the Guardian? I liked Marcotti a lot if he ever wrote for them.

[Raoul Duke]

This one is great: https://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2017/jan/24/david-squires-on-football-in-the-age-of-president-trump :D
