"Notts County owner Alan Hardy has ruled out Coventry City and every other team in League Two aside from leaders Exeter and his beloved Magpies for the two available automatic promotion spots this season."

Can you tell me what is wrong with this latest Turner piece?

What a guy...probably gets into his car wrong, too. Gets in the back seat and wonders where the steering wheel is: cue a panicked call to Alan Poole for help.

The Notts County chairman must be madder than some of us on here making this statement so early.

it also seems strange to rule out a team who have already ragged you 3-0 this season.

He is talking about winning the title not about automatic promotion. He does say in the piece that there are three automatic places. I think he does make a small error when he says Exeter will visit the Ricoh for the first time. First league game, yes, but I am sure we played them here in a cup competition a few years ago.

How is he?

Definite 1st and 2nd. Toss a coin on which one finishes the higher. Sounds a bit like Notts County & Exeter City

That's all the Notts bloke said.

How does it get to:

Andy Turner says in the report;

There is, of course, a third automatic promotion place in League Two, but Hardy believes there are only two sides in the running for the title.

I assume he has edited it now then after being corrected.

It's just a shit paper and the mistakes come thick and fast. Recently we've had 'manor of the defeat' and Carl Baker discussing the move to India with his 'misses'.

It's written to get a reaction. Seems to have worked!

If some of you analysed the national press as much as you do the Coventry Telegraph (which you claim is not worth reading) you would realise what is wrong with the world.

So they blatantly say things that are factually incorrect to get a reaction?

Just like the national press. Unfortunately the state of the British Press not just the Telegraph.

To be fair the report talks about the top spot and does mention 3 promotion places.

The headline would of been written by a sub editor not the writer

Dave Bennett seals the extra-time 3-2 victory for Coventry City against Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-final, 12th April 1987, with a gutted Micky Adams.

Another day another fuck up by the Telegraph. Perhaps if they watched the Semi final goals they would realise Bennett scored the winning goal at the other end.

Also slightly confused in the Mickey Adams article where reference is made to a panda called Chu Chu, which I understand is a fictional panda in children's books.
But the Telegraph have a picture of a panda captioned Chu Chu the panda. Wasn't the panda in question called Chi Chi?
PS Can't believe I'm discussing pandas on here though.
