Stop bloody moaning!
But he said that he never reads NSC. OK, Mr Naylor, we all believe you.

That's not what it means when you say 'the most' or 'the least'. If they meant to say a draw was a fair result, they'd have said so. If they'd have meant to say we deserved to lose, they'd have said so. They said a draw was the most we deserved, which means they thought we deserved to either lose or draw.
Yes, which is not the same as we "should have lost" which is what OP said Argus wrote.
Don't know why people give this guy the click bait he craves?
Yes, true, I was just referring to your post in isolation. You are right, it's not the same as saying we should have lost, but you weren't right to say "ie a draw would have been fair", it's not quite the same.

You'd only need to actually BLOCK someone on Twitter if you kept on receiving unwanted tweets from them - something I very much doubt you were getting from Naylor. I take it you mean you simply unfollowed him.
As for the usual anti-Naylor tone on this thread from many posters here - I don't really get why people find him so odious. He's a pretty standard journo in my opinion. His match reports and analysis are of a decent standard, I find myself agreeing with him more often than I don't. And if I don't agree with something he's written, I don't think its because he has some kind of agenda against the club, why on earth would he ? It can't be easy filling column inches day in, day out when sometimes there really isn't any Albion NEWS to write about.
As for wanting some kind of Albion fan / cheerleader writing about the Albion in the Argus - no thanks. I much prefer an impartial view thats NOT been coloured or sugar-coated by someone who holds the club dear to his heart. If I wanted that, I'd just read the programme (I never buy programmes btw, they bore the tits off me).
We get good coverage in the Argus IMO. Could do a LOT worse.
I don't, I haven't clicked on anything from him.

Except he hasn't said that at all and yet another Naylor bashing commences....I do wish people would stop looking for or in this case making up reasons to hate the Argus! It's pathetic really. And boring. Move on. Nothing to see here.

Why ?
Seriously, what is it that Naylor has written that has so irked you. Can you give an example ?

Was funny seeing Gardner's 30 yard shot on goal last night and was true to form. Missed by 30 yards I mean.

1: I got it wrong in linking the copy to his name and have said sorry to Andy.
2: He's accepted the apology.
3: He has posted inflammatory comments in the past IMO (such as his defence of Barton and the comments about the quality and quantity of the fan base). Some criticism of him is fair, some is unwarranted.
If I was a fan who had travelled hundreds of miles and paid a fortune to watch the Albion, I'd be hacked off with some of his post match comments, and indeed have been. Fully understand how click bait works, just as much as he does though.
The Stoke City issue is an easy stick to beat him with, it seems bizarre to me for someone who grew up in Woodingdean not to support his local club yet seek out a career writing about them.

God, we're very NEEDY aren't we.
and he invites the 'stick' with comments like... "Trust a Stokie to come up trumps!"

I hate the paper because of the glorification of the Shoreham Airshow incident and the sensationalist "The day it rained fire" headline on the front page the Monday after 22/8. As such, I've not been near a copy since, and the only time I will read any output from Andy Naylor is on here.
I've not got a problem with him – just his employers – and actually think he talks a lot of sense. As a reporter, I think he does a pretty decent job. I'd rather him cover the Albion that some unqualified or inexperienced goon who can't string a sentence together, or an over-emotional fan whose output makes North Korean media outlets seem objective

I thought we were very lucky to get anything. We controlled it up until we scored, but were poor after that. We were so much better against Burnley.
You do know that wont happen don't you.....
Blackstock missed a sitter (AKA Hemed) and Lansbury really should have scored. For the majority of the second half I could only see a forest winner. Having said that this team has some fight and spirit.
