The English Tabloid Press And The England Team

[ProfessorFart]

What is it with the English Tabloid Press and the England team? They have already hounded Sven Goran Eriksson out of his job by relentless cheap stunts to try and force a scoop as well as dog several other players such as Rooney continually.

There is no doubt that English players will continue to be fair game for their cheap sensationalist dribble until the World Cup begins.

Once the World Cup begins however, you can rest assured that the press will be full of jingoistic headlines especially if the side do well. We shall be encouraged daily to 'get behind the lads' etc. throughout our involvement in the competition. All the players will called by their nicknames, the same press which has doorstepped the likes of Rooney, Owen and Beckham for the last too years will talk lovingly of 'Becks' and 'the Boy Wonder' etc and the press will all claim a key role in any success!

Where does their hypocrisy end? It makes me want to vomit!

If England do not do well in the World Cup then I reckon that the English Tabloid Press should incur the Wrath of the English public for doing its dammnest to unsettle the team over the past few years before the tournament has even started. I bet a boycott of any paper having a pop at England players would soon put a stop to this nonsense.

Agreed, that sector of the press are dirtbags, every last one of them!

Sven's been hounded ever since he took the job. Hopefully the lads will do well and come out on top.

What is it with the English Tabloid Press and the England team?

Because, if the headlines were:

SENSATION

Wayne Rooney was seen going home after todays match. Apparantly he had a cup of tea then went to bed.

Sven-Goran Eriksonn spotted in church with his wife and child.

While a rival newspapers headlines were:

SENSATION

Wayne Rooney caught in bed with Sven-Goran Eriksonn.

Who's going to sell more.

Drains fault at Wembley to take 8 months to rectify, completion date remains unaffected

24 Mar 2006 by Sir Charles Cheese-Cake

Bumbling officials at Wembley, the Frank Spencer of stadiums, have announced yet another setback to the beleaguered building schedule – this time to the complex drainage system running under the nowhere-near-finished venue.

"Me and the lads thought there was a nasty smell of urine," said one construction worker whilst relaxing during a five-hour lunch break, "but we just put that down to the 1966 English and German world cup teams after their visit the other day."

Unlike current England boss, Sven Goran Eriksson, the drains have not been properly laid and will need to be dug up, DeadBrain can reveal. The drainage system is incredibly important as it allows all the spittle and blood excreted by the players during a match to escape. Once the unwanted fluids have seeped through the pitch they will then progress to an underground reservoir, from where they'll be bottled and sold as an isotonic drink to stupid people by a large American conglomerate.

The drainage problem is the latest in a catalogue of accidents and mishaps to have affected the 90,000 seat embarrassment. Earlier this week a large steel beam fell from the roof but sadly it failed to hit any of the visiting Germans. Last year death threats were made against the workers of Multiplex, the Australian contractor allegedly in charge of the project, bringing all work on the stadium to an abrupt halt. The FA have since apologised for making the threats which it argued were justified as Multiplex had been "largely crap".

This week comb-over legend Sir Bobby Charlton visited the site with his bigger little brother, Jack, and other decrepit members of England and Germany's 1966 teams who haven't died yet.

"I'd love to play here," said the baldy old git, "but this stadium will come too late for me."

Current England star Wayne Rooney, 19, also recently visited Wembley. "I'd love to play here," said the septuagenarian loving scouser, "but this stadium will come too late for me."

The English Tabloid Press seem hel_l bent on destroying anyone who makes it mega. It all started with George Best (RIP), carried on through the years with Gascoigne right through to the present day with Rooney. Christ I am still convinced it was them who killed Princess Diana.

Scum the lot of them, but people still buy the papers !

Go figure

The tabloid press haven't even warmed up yet - it'll be sex, lies and videotape all the way pre-world cup.

As I said in the Rooney thread, I've lost count of press apologies for printing sh*te and these apology columns are usually tiny compared to the original 2 page spread of fabricated drivel.

The problem is, the damage is already done by the time the apology comes.....

......not that the tabloid press care of course.
