in this case Mr Naylor is spot on , saying that, why has the argus not yet reported our imminent capture of Brooklyn Beckam
The thing is though - he's right. The amount of shit rumours this site produces would swamp a sewage farm and people bite at almost anything thus encouraging the wind-up merchants to keep posting more and more of it. We've been liked with dozens of forwards from Michael Owen downwards, and Gus is linked with every managerial vacancy.
The Argus may indeed get the odd story from here, but I know if I read it in the Argus there's a good chance of it being true. If I see something on here I know that, the odd lucky guess notwithstanding, 99.999% of the time it will be complete bollocks.

You could quite easily switch NSC for Argus in that setence.

And don't forget an argus reporter contacted me about running a story on my dad's treatment at Worthing Hospital after reading it on......... NSC!!
Needless to say I told him where he could stick it!
Obviously NSC has a lot of shit on it, but so does the argus. How many times did they print that the stadium was opening in 2010!!
Most signings are announced on here long before they're on the argus website. In fact pretty much 95% of Albion related news is posted on here before it's on the Argus website.

Entirely correct.
if you want authentic info, I think The Argus is your best bet.
Utter bollocks.
Typical Naylor really, a liberal mix of truth and shit.

when was the last time The Argus broke a story/ signing - I think that Naylor is like a mongrel begging at the table hoping for a titbit from the club/official website or maybe NSC!!!! although as mentioned almost all rumours on nsc are pure bul****

One is a Newspaper the other is a message board/Forum............F*** me that was a shit question on the live chat.
We've been rumbled. Time to close the whole shooting match down and reconvene on the Argus site.
Cheers chaps and chapesses - it's been a blast.

So you get paid for uncovering breaking news about The Albion that we already know, whereas we get paid nothing. Its nothing personal but you are by admission a Stoke fan. What we want is the modern day equivalent of John Vinnicombe, a man who wore his heart on his sleeve when it came to anything Albion. Its not personal by any means but I never sense any passion about our club in your reports.

Giraffe, you have highlighted the laziness of the journalism at The Argus at the moment. A friend had recently had a tragic accident, reported in the paper. If you look at these stories, they always end with leave your tributes etc, if you leave a number or email address the so called reporters then contact you for a story. Put your coat and hat on, find and investigate your stories..Its your job !!

Why so many people hate our local paper because it features BHA daily is beyond me. If you don't want to hear anything about the Albion then buy a national! Naylors a quAlity journo and people should have more respect for his excellent coverage along with Brian Owen

Don't know about the quality but certainly in the "not too bad" category and we are indeed fortunate with the amount of coverage available.
On-line it is often disappointingly similar (as in word-for-word) to the albion's official site but on the rare occassions I get to see hard copy I must say there is more content and it is better balanced and more informative than it was in JV's day (not that I was a fan of his tbh)
regarding your post about your father's treatment I was reading a piece last week about the disconnect between NHS budgets and local care...and how big cuts to elderly care centres have allegedly caused a rapid increase in hospital bed-blocking over the past year.....which inturn impacts on other areas within the hospital. The information comes from a recent survey of hospital doctors so it's not the most scientifically rigourous....more anecdotal evidence.
I wish your father well.
