Top Top Journalism

Here's the thing...Journalists take pride in bringing you their 'opinion.' And due to it being portrayed in National newspaper they get this great sense of feeling that their said opinion is the most concise and correct opinion out there.
Sometimes that works for the great writers but at times, for the many average writers out there, it doesn't.
Football365.co.uk provide highlights of this week in week out when they point out the papers and the writers who, due to pure lack of knowledge or effort in doing a little bit of good old research, fail miserably. This week......The Sun!

Big Backing
After last night's ripping good game between Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, The Sun assesses the chances of both sides should they be in the Premier League next season.

The categories are split into three categories - manager, players and resources - and the paper comes up with some slightly curious results.

While we can't argue with the thumbs down given to both sets of players, both managers get a big tick, despite Hughton losing all four of his Premier League games in charge last term, while Davies was in charge for the first half of Derby's hilarious 2006/7 top flight campaign.

Interestingly, both sides get a cross in the 'resources' column too, with the paper commenting that Forest 'do not have any big backing'.

Indeed. Apart from chairman Nigel Doughty, one half of Doughty Hanson, an equity firm with £8billion of assets and the man who ensured Forest were the biggest spenders in the Championship last summer.
