On the back of Space Monkey Gate it occurs to me that they are, all of them, without exception.

The amount of self justification for running a patent 'do England down' story was sickening. Follow that by the likes of Martin Samuels being positively gleesome at the idea of breaking the story on which player had his pointless problem with the comment and what have you got?

A media machine that runs on grease (money), slime (pathetic excuses) and moral turpitude (self-righteous defence of itself when the public turns on them)

This goes further than mere football 'reporting', and incidentally how embarrasing was it to hear M S complaining about front page hacks dipping into the back pages (and upsetting his cosy back-scratching world)?

I sickened myself by actually buying Tuesday's Daily Fail (I wanted a copy of the front page headline for work) and was intrigued to discover that the front headlines were not anywhere featured on the Fail website unless you actually used their search engine.

Apparently women in swim suits were more important online than their own front page headline (in one way I kinda agree with that!)

So does anybody want to stand up for these toads?

Stand up for them?!

Sadly, they reflect the skin deep, facile, dumbed down, 'on demand', instant gratification, feckless society we now are.

Press standards have followed personal standards; they didn't set them.

That said, the press must be allowed to run the sort of stories that it does, do I agree with what they wrote after the game? Absolutely not - but they had every right to write it, most especially when some coward was so insistant with his press contact.

As always, we can make a personal choice and choose not to buy what they sell..

The 'one' that should be in the cross hairs is the snivelling low-life that didn't have the guts to take it up with Woy directly or at the very least make an official complaint through the players representative....

Sadly, depending on what you want to believe the culprit may never be known or you could speculate is someone that is of course well known....
