Martin Samuel

[kevo]

Hate the Daily Mail, but is anyone else a fan of Martin Samuel? Excellent football writer - agree with almost everything he says in today's column:

Best football writer going imo.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Agree. Too good for the Daily Mail.

I used to like Brian Woolnough as well.

Is he still going?

Passed away either last year or the year before I believe.

Mail have always had the best sports writers. Ian Wooldridge, Patrick Collins to name another 2.

Yeah youre right i just checked. Signed off in 2012.

I tend to watch Sunday Supplement every week, and these guys usually speak quite a lot of sense, but I just wouldn't buy any of the papers they write for.

Well, that's quite a claim. They certainly spend a large amount of money on their sports desk for a paper that is mainly aimed at frightened middle-class women. Sammy* left The Times because the Fail paid him an unbelievable amount of dosh, as they did Paul Hayward - literally the sort of set-you-up-for-life sum you couldn't logically turn down. Paul decided after a while that money wasn't everything, much to his credit.

(* who is, I agree, up there with the very best - his breadth of reference is awe-inspiring).

I despise the Daily Fail but have always said their sports pages are the best newspaper wise.
I dont live with my mum anymore so never read it anymore as i wouldnt wipe my arse with it let alone pay good money for it.

 

[The Hon Sec]

Was disappointed he moved to the Mail as I read his articles a lot previously. Now I have to buy the paper occasionally just to see what he has to say.

 

[Leighgull]

Definitely the best in the business. Especially since he informed us that it was Wilf who DIDN'T want to go back to the Jesters and not Moyes stopping him.

 

[albionalex]

I can't take the bloke seriously after he wrote the bizarre article suggesting Joey Barton should come out as gay.

 

[mccraque]

Am I the only one who thinks he's a fat tossbag with a beard? I hate it when he's on Skysports on a sunday morning. Actually...I dislike all of them.
