The Sun front page today...

[HawkTheSeagull]

Offensive or not ? People on Twitter have said its "offensive" and "distasteful" - but what do you think ?

 

[Marc1901]

I think it's funny PLUS I think it's a dodgy appointment. I would obviously LOVE to be proved wrong but can't see us even getting out of the group stages.

 

[Bwian]

Confirms why I never read the pile of shit that is The Scum.

 

[brightn'ove]

wow that is f***ing bad

 

[Doc Lynam]

Rag

 

[bravohotelalpha]

Offensive for sure

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

They tried making a joke and it is a bit over the top, maybe putting 1 word saying like "Woy for England" only - but nothing more than that. Some of the reaction on Twitter is over the top though.

I can't stand The Sun but I can't get worked up about that.

And he looks like an owl, headlines are already being thought of

Yep, that's disgusting. Who would want a PINK hairdryer?!

 

[beardy gull]

Weally??

More likely to get us somewhere than 'Arry. Woy has a pretty good international pedigree.

From Twitter:

ENGLAND (4-4-2): Gween; Wichards, Tewwy, Wio, Bwidge; Gewward, Cawwick, Wodwell, Bawwy; Cwouch, Wooney

Offensive? Distasteful? Give me a bwe.......sorry break.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Call me a bad person, I don't find it offensive at all. And yet, I opposed the Titanic bouncy castle.

Funny old game.

The tabloids wanted Redknapp because he's controversial and volatile and they know that he would sell papers. Hodgson is well mannered and sensible, which won't sell papers.
So I gather the big plan is: take the piss out of Hodgson, make all the easily-led working-class Sun readers think that he is a joke, they all call for his head when we get knocked out in the group stages/ second round of the Euro's, print sensationalist headlines about how "England fans want Hodgson out", sell more papers to the gullible working-class.
Wankers.

 

[NMH]

Childish and pathetic pandering paper.

 

[CheeseRolls]

Avoiding the real news story of the day.

Funny really the crappiest jingoistic support for our boys comes from an Aussie owned paper, backed up by similar crap advertising from the American owned McDonalds and Mars. Mars in particular really don't seem to understand the whole football thing at all, yet no one seems to really mind.

 

[Buffalo Seagull]

If this is how they treat someone with a speech impediment, I can't wait to see their coverage of the Paralympics

 

[Stat Brother]

If 'Arry was appointed would the headline be:-

'lock up your cheque books, 'ere's Arry'.

No the paper has an agenda they are pi$$ed off The FA haven't done what they said, and they will undermine until they get their way.
At which point it will be Keggy Keeygee all over again, and we won't even qualify for championships..

 

[Stat Brother]

Some of the reaction on Twitter is over the top though.

I find that hard to believe.

 

[Trigger]

Cwap wag.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

An embarrassment of a paper. I bet they pull this front page from later editions.
