Oh how we miss a journalist with his honesty. http://dailym.ai/1Qwtqkr

McClaren feeling the heat! He'll never get a top level job again surely after blowing 80 odd million and making a team worse!

Was it Sam Collins he fell out with over in Holland?

Do Pools have anyone similar

I actually think it's quite refreshing for a journalist to challenge as opposed
To a reporter reporting

It's a long way from being a top class article worthy of a real newspaper but refreshing in its approach

Hope said how slow and shite we were over in Holland.

Collins said you don't know the sacrifices we make.

Which is a very stupid thing to say.

Hope said how poor we were repeatedly. When the rest of the press cosied up n got bellies tickled.

It's a shame we didn't have hope working for the mail over the last few years.

He'd have got banned I'm sure like.

I'm sure he'd have called out the TMH blag as fast as this board.

Self publicising celebrities have been doing it for years now journalists have jumped on the bandwagon

Also isn't the person losing his composure actually him!?

The bloke is full of himself and negative about pretty much everything, he'd be fooked if he ever had to cover a successful club proper writers block :laugh:

He covered pools for a few years during a rank period

Then he started covering Sunderland n Newcastle for the mail

Not much chance of positivity there

I think we were in the top six in League One when he was shouting 'Rubbish' at Colin Nish on commentary at Carlisle.

Spent some time with Craig in Holland one year. On walking to the ground in heilo, he walked across what he thought was a filled in culvert but was in fact full of water covered in algae and weeds. He had to do his report and get back to his digs in Amsterdam afterwards despite being totally drenched clappp

Cool story bro

Yet another example of a journalist becoming the story (even the brilliant Henry Winter had a very cringey advert when he moved to The Times).

Hope wrote a lengthy piece, earlier this season, on why he gave a Newcastle player a rating of 1/10 in a game. Of course, he could have just filed the match ratings and leave it at that but made it all "me, me, me".

He's a bell end.

This is a bit cringey how he goes after him like

I didnt realise anyone cared that much about newcastle.

Surely when they go down the thick geordie fuckers will just punch a couple of gorses and smash their own town up.
