Lots of people slating the telegraph over the last few months etc and quite rightly so. Funny though as when Turners name is on an article it doesn't get the same bashing on here as Gilbert does?:emoji_thinking:

You mean like the one from yesterday that got slated?

Other difference is Andy Turner obviously saw the mistake and corrected it, rather than print screening the "most read" screen and using that as some sort of argument.

Well for me at least, Turner appears genuinely interested in the football and stays out of the politics whereas Gilbert comes across as a snidey, agenda driven, lego haired, Wasps Ricoh buyout suppressing egotesticle.

Oh and.

The Grecians have won seven of their eight league games, drawing the other, to see them flying high at the top of the division, and Tisdale admits his players face a tough mental battle to keep the run going when the club visit the Ricoh Arena for the first time.

Remember that goal as well from Phillips.

Not a lot, probably slated our fans between mouthfuls of doughnut and told her to look out for Turner, cos he's on his way to assist.

Gilbert chases a headline where as Turner chases a story. All too often Gilbert's headline fails to offer any substance and is more of an editorial. The video of him bombarding Joy Sepella is embarrassing and the coverage it gets on the website only serves to gain clicks. Turner is far more reliable.

The paper overall is harbouring an agenda which for me makes them unable to access the true goings on around the club for them to report accurately and impartially to keep us well informed.

I thought Gilbert outside the court was one of his better days. Actually did something by asking the questions that should have been done years ago.

Exactly my point, Gilbert asked those questions knowing Seppalla would never answer them in that manner so the headline writes itself. A credible and capable journalist after the story would have found a way by now to engage Seppalla by now or to get close enough to her inner circle.

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.

And it was a tap in from 3 yards!

You get a like for "egotesticle". I expect to see it in the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Can somebody do me a quick favour?

What do they get when they search this as the top review? LMGTFY

This is the top result for me

Which goes to Gilbert's own review of his book. Although he seems to have changed his Amazon username, probably because too many people had sussed out his alias as he was using the same one in the CT comments.

I once walked past an independent Games Workshop-style Lego specialist shop in Doncaster called "Bricking It"
