Apparently, he was given the tickets by Man U.

But far be it from the British press to make all manner of assumptions due to his proximity to Roman!

Poor old Sven even had to come out and state he's not in talks for the Chelsea job as his seat was also nearby!

..... but I read it in The Scum - surely its true????? :?:?:?:?
 
I love how the British press works. I was describing it to someone today like this:

- Person A has no plans to quit his job at present
- Some "source" or "person close to so-and-so" tells a newspaper Person A plans to quit this week
- The newspaper contacts Person A and is told it's absolutely false
- The newspaper runs the article anyway, with the headline that Person A is quitting and a small, unnoticeable line at the end of a long meandering article stating that he denied the story
- Person A has no recourse to sue the bastards because a) they included his response, b) it's not slander and c) he didn't experience financial damages... even though the story might have caused myriad problems for the guy personally
- To add insult to injury, if Person A quits his job 6 months later, the newspapers will insist they were right all along!

Not too far from what happened with Van Basten and Guus Hiddink. But hey, free press and all that. Long live the Sun! :?

probably a result of liquid lunches and the need to fill blank pages.

That, along with rabid competition for readers and this incessant need to report the news before it actually happens. If it actually doesn't happen afterwards, c'est la vie! Let the public think it did!

Now that Chelsea have denied approaching Van Basten, how much do you want to bet that there will still be articles in the Sun in the future stating that he'd been offered the job? argh... holding myself back from full on rant! :evil: :lol:

i only buy the sun for the sheer footy gossip (and tits).

thats all it is. gossip.

mind you, the Mirror was proclaiming GB's Speech as the best in history. cobblers.
 
mvb is quite simply one of the best people to have ever graced a football pitch. he is the coolest, deadliest, classiest finisher ever. he is the epitome of total football. he tried what others feared to attempt and rarely failed either. he was a leader and inspiration to his team mates and anyone watching. he was a match winner and true champion.

and both times i've met him, once as a kid and once ten years later - he was superb.

forza marco!!

*wipes tear from eye* :oops: :oops: :oops:

Do you prefer the approach to unattributable sources taken by papers like the Washington Post and the New York Times?

I agree with what you say about the press, but uk football clubs and those in UK Footy in general always talk ****e to the press anyway. How many times have clubs said "no his jobs safe" only to fire him within days or has a player said "I have no plans to leave this club" only to see they've be in advance negotiations all along.:roll::roll:

And what was that crap about from chelsea last week "He didn't resign and he wasn't sacked" - so he's either still there or he was made redundant.:lol:

Honestly, the bull**** is ridiculous. No wonder the game is so far up it's own arse nowadays.

****ing talk ****ing straight or keep it zipped. ****ers.

In general, yes... I put a lot more faith in the accuracy of quotes (and corroboration by a 2nd source) in major US newspapers than in the UK press. They're a lot more careful, even though the protection laws are weaker. Their sources usually have to be someone high up in the organization, not a friend of a friend or other person with 3rd hand knowledge.
