AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Interesting update: I work in the Wimbledon Media centre and ran into Martin Samuel this morning when he came to pick up his order of play. Said I was a toon fan and wanted to pick him up on his article - he was very affable and perfectly willing to discuss. I forwarded to him that Nolan leaving was more due to the ridiculous contract West Ham were prepared to give him, us cashing in when he would be most valuable and that he would no longer be first choice due to Cabaye - he insists Newcastle offered him only £5000 a week left and were willing to go five years. He also insists that there is no way that Cabaye would be picked ahead of Nolan - he called him "untested", "lightweight" and believed he was bought as an understudy for this year to replace Nolan in the future. Maintained that West Ham were a more attractive club to play for due their preferable ownership (really). Proof (if proof be needed) that he doesn't just spout bollocks to sell papers.

I've sometimes quite liked his stuff actually, I guess everyone has to chase sensationalism and reactions from people even more now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Don't see what the fuss is about. Where does it say in his job description that he's to be nice to Newcastle United and their fans all the time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 His articles are usually quite scathing about Sullivan and Gold. So that's a bit strange really... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Man Utd best not sign Sneijder and play him ahead of Park or Fletcher mind. Can't be having someone untried and untested in the Premier League taking one of their places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not lazy journalism it fits in with his brief for the Daily Mail, which is no more than an up market Sun without the tits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Talented writer though, she was the editor of the student press in my final year and had an internship with the Guardian so why she's decided to get a job at the Daily Mail, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Martin Samuel is a hugely talented writer. Sad to see him trot out such lazy journalism. Obviously that is a matter of opinion, still be fun to watch the big fat hairy ignorant orangutan fired out of a cannon into the north face of everest, when the sherpas see him, that really emphasise the word abominable, which is a word that i tend to use when i describe his writing, the bulbous yeti faced fat headed gimp.
