Martin Samuel

Martin Samuel

Post by Kiki »

Good article by Martin in the Daily Mail

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... hance.html
but from 2007 when he broke the leg of Francis Jeffers of Sheffield Wednesday with a tackle from behind. Maybe Arsene Wenger is correct not to believe in coincidence.

Quality read. Have met him a few times in airports travelling back from c/l games and he as always sounded a level and faif sort of journo.

When I see the guy on sunday supplement I have always been impressed with him (except for the constant fcuking about with his hair whilst talking :lol: ) and it is good to see one of the more respectable football journo's (wouldnt be hard I know) write such a well balanced and fair piece. Doubtless we will have that scumbag pullis banning him from their shithole or refusing to talk to him now which seems to be the norm now with guys like ferguscum and his buddy fat sam(*word censored*) and dodgy harry :roll:

That is a RARE article and voice.

What is it with reporters now going to the other manager and saying Arsene Wenger said such and such about your team, misquoting him and riling the other manager up? They did it with O'Neill and now with Pulis. I haven't seen it happen with anyone else.

Can we get this article stored away? It is surely a piece of football history, a piece that actually backs up Arsenal and attacks the 'good, honest English footballer' image.

Martin Samuel and Patrick Barclay are good blokes. Just a shame a few of the tabloids dont write sensible stuff like this :lol:

That prick collymore in the mirror today telling wenger to walk away and go manage in spain or italy this coming from the C--T who went to play in spain and only lasted few games before he came home with his tail between his legs because he couldnt hack it out there.Also coming out with rubbish like arsenal dont have the attributes to win the league what the fuck would he know about winning titles as far as i know he won fuck all in his career.Unless you count the how to beat up your girlfriend award and hang around car parks watching people having sex award because your a sad C--T.

Best bit about him beating up Ulrika-ka-ka-ka was that the barman that slapped him and fucked him out the door was a Dubliner! Quality work, bud. :lol: 8) :barscarf:

A Cu*t has a use - journalists don't. I actually bought the Mail today just for his article. :barscarf:

I always thought he was a scum supporter, I might be wrong but this is certainly a decent/different view on the weekends event and if he is a knuckle dragger, then even more suprising 8)
