Couple of mentions for us in the press today. Times and Daily Mail (neither of which I buy!), one interesting, the other typically ill-researched by the Mail's history of bungs mentioning Beckett's transfer in 2001.
Maybe I missed something but as far as I recall he had a dodgy contract but no talk of a bung. But that's the Daily Mail for you.

The Times has a piece about manager's sons acting as agents (Allardyce, Hart, Ferguson etc) and says 'HN Sports, for instance, where James Warnock works in Leeds. has two players at Sheffield United, David Unsworth and Kevan Hurst, who is on loan to Chesterfield, yet also has an agreement that James does not have involvement with any Sheffield United players'.

Not sure what if anything to make of that.

The Times one seems factual enough and is probably of little consequence.

The Mail is written by scum and read by idiots so I'd expect nothing less of them.

If Tommy Curtis's transfer to Portsmouth was cosher, my name's Doreen.

Actually read the mail, the mirror and the sun oh and occassionally the sport (not the football kind.. ), and would never judge anyone by what they choose to read, etc.

You find most Mail `haters` are actually middle class and comfortably off themselves. Only paper I read mind you is whatever is the most up to date rag I can buy when on hols and doesn`t blow away on a sunlounger!

Chris,

Which papers don't blow away on a sunlounger!!? Lol, just wondering only it does my head in when I'm on holiday and have to collect my paper from round all the sunbeds!!

[Westbars Spireite]

Most Sun readers in the 80s thought it was a Labour supporting paper!

Tip. Find the largest lass you can and get the next sunbed along. You get a handy windbreak, and offered chips at lunchtimes as she tries to pull you!

Inky, apart from my ex missus who went on a crash eat (not crash diet), I have never pulled or been pulled by a `biggie`! (Nor have I danced round a pole with 70 year olds young man but that`s another thread)

A factual one.

The Mail would be worse than the Sun if only it were more widely read and influential.

Sorry, I would. I only look at the Mail if I'm feeling low on self esteem - it truly is repulsive.

Hot Dang, next time I`m waiting at the dentist I`ll not pick up the paper when waiting just in case I get called a middle class reactionary, ironically by a middle class liberal?

Anyhow, did anyone see the end of that `amazing mrs pritchard` prog? did she win? lol!

Chris, we've had our differences in the past, and some things you've turned out right on, but I'll never change my mind on the Daily 'king Mail *spit*. It's a disgrace.

And everyone knows that at the dentist you should read golf magazines.
