The Daily Mail is an all round nasty paper.
johe said:Maybe this latest news about the deal stalling is just R*** trying to put pressure on our board, so they're essentially blackmailing us. Either we get an unhappy player (although I don't think he is unhappy with us, but that's propably what RM think), or we sell for their price. Since the story first came out of AS and Marca it is most definetly a RM ploy to get Vieira cheaper. The only thing is it's not gonna work. We should put a sign outside Highbury, saying 'Geriatricos will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

Apparently Wenger will talk to Sky Sports News live this lunch time...

How can you possibly say the Daily Mail is an all round nasty newspaper? Excuse me if I sound rude, but what the f**k do you know?

Well, first of all, thats horse sh*t. I work at the Daily Mail as one of the general footie correspondents going to press conferences and writing minor stories and stuff, and no effort is ever made to put any negative spin on anything. Of course there is a certain amount of spin, because it's required to sell a newspaper, but our stories come through the PA newswire, Sky Sports News and word of mouth from the people involved in the game themselves.
We report the stories as they are shown to us. We cut out sections of the story that are irrelevant in order to make space for the other stories that need to be reported, just like every other newspaper. Its not meant to twist its meaning into something scandalous, that's the kind of thing The Sun or The Mirror would do. I place those 'newspapers' on about the level of OK! or Hello! magazine. Absolute quality journalism :roll:
In answer to the statement about Jeff Powell, he hardly writes at all anymore. The main men in the football section are Matt Lawton, Ian McGarry and Ian Ladyman (dont laugh at his name )

I want him to stay but only if he wants to and is committed to the club!
Yeah, but after wengers quotes now, its obvious that
a) He's lost his commitment to arsenal
b) he doesnt want to stay
c) he's damaging the team morale
Sorry I shouldn't have said 'all round' as I exactly meant the front pages rather than back pages. My Bad!
I will say that the sports pages are fine and for the middle aged women the crosswords and 'lifestyle' pieces are fine.
I don't like their right wing stance on issues such as assylum seekers. But lets not go into all that as this is an Arsenal forum and A Vieira thread.
