The Sun front page today...

[Daffy Duck]

It's like a headline written by a 10 year old.

I would love him to do really well and then tell the editors where they can shove their childish opinions, but he's far too much of a gentleman to do that.

 

[Biscuit]

I'm sure the knuckle draggers that read that paper will think it's hilarious.

 

[mike79]

anyone even remotely offended needs to get a gwip

it' seems a recent phenomenon that people have to be outraged by everything

and it's truly nauseating

 

[k2bluesky]

Clearly they wanted a geezer what talks like 'arry, el tel or ray winston, someone what never listened in English classes and uses all the wrong tenses 'we was', 'they was the better side', speaking footballese for the masses. Roy clearly listened in English classes which puts him a little ahead of their generally 'thick' readership, a slight lisp is not a big deal.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Wubbish.

 

[Hotchilidog]

It is a very cheap shot, exceptionally childish and totally unfunny.

I think the Sun is a simply awful newspaper and not worthy of the name, but it has, on occasions, come up with some very witty headlines that have been very amusing without being derogatory.

This one is totally devoid of wit. It is a pathetic headline that we could all have have thought of but most of us would have dismissed instantly as hardly worthy of a primary school playground, let alone our best-selling daily 'newspaper'.

Well that saved me some typing. THIS!

 

[Hiney]

Pathetic and a really cheap shot from the paper.

 

[Rookie]

Pathetic headline (which goes along with the pathetic press conference Hodgson was subjected to yesterday). Lifted from Twitter 'Charming front page of the Sun. Hodgson has won 11 major titles/trophies, speaks 5 languages but let's mock his speech'.
Going by the Twitter reaction it has backfired but the Sun will never acknowledge that (they tend to ignore anything that goes against their party line)

 

[Dr Q]

Written by Morons, read by Morons.

The Sun that is, not NSC!!

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

It's pathetic more than offensive, although it is offensive, too, because I think Roy Hodgson is intelligent enough not to take much/any notice.

AQnd according to the Guardian yesterday, some of this is about contributing to the set up of a £100,000,000 national training set up. I think Roy is better set up ALL ROUND to do the complete job, and this just makes me want him to succeed even more.

What a shameless, embarrassing rag that thing is.

Ignoring the disgraceful attack on the England manager on the basis that he speak with a lisp .... is that REALLY a front page headline? What sort of intellect do their readers have if THAT is the front page headline today, representing the most important news story in their World? Actually I know the answer to that.

Anyone who buys The Sun on a regular basis is basically saying, "I can't actually cope with a newspaper, that's why I read this daily comic."

It's basically a daily, topical Viz.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Who would YOU rather employ - a man who can speak FIVE languages fluently, with a lisp, or one who can't read any?

Summed things up perfectly for me.

Quite.

 

[El Presidente]

It's basically a daily, topical Viz.

That's an outrageous dig at Viz, I have every edition for about 20 years, and it is without doubt the funniest rag in the country. Anyone who does not keep a copy of The Profanisaurus by their toilet for dump related light reading is missing out.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I find it neither funny nor outrageous. I suppose at least they've decided to mock him from the off rather than to wait and turnipise him later. Ideally, with the speedy demise of the paper press, fewer people will follow their dimwitted and horrific ways even with a free pink hairdryer waved in front of them. All that really means is that idiots will find other idiots to follow though, so the world won't become pure with the death of just one foul beast.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

They are just bitter they didn't get Harry in, Christ this country is so far behind the footballing world it's unreal, no other top nation would appoint someone like redknapp

 

[Bwian]

It's no more distasteful or offensive than usual.

I just think it's about time the tabloid media and the mindless goons that buy it got behind a manager and the players for once. We were all told Redknapp was the best man, by the media, now maybe they can tell us to support the team?

I think I've found the flaw in your suggestion.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Also the sun will be even more upset as Harry "writes" for them

LOL, don't get me wrong, I love Viz (and hate The Sun), but God bless Viz they don't claim their characatures are supposed to be the truth about real people, or indeed news. If The Sun marketed itself as a comic, maybe I would find that funny as well.

"Ha ha, did you see that piece where they claimed the multi-lingual highly experienced England Manager wasn't fit for the job because his r's sound like w's? Excellent. That Fat Slag on the inside page was brilliant as well, ha ha, Jordan getting married again, a tired old gag, but they always make it sound so funny. Top Tips was good as well, 'leak a blowjob video to teh net, and you too can win the Worlds Sexiest Women', oh that was great."
