I'm a bit narked me like...

Alreet kids,

I've just been reading a lot of the reporting on Wor Bobby Robsons memorial yesterday and have to say that I find it a little hypocritical of the various media types,and especially their editors, to be talking about the man in such glowing terms.

They seem to forget that when he was Newcastle manager they mocked him for basically being over 65. They took the piss at every possible opportunity because he couldn't remember names and they got themselves all in a moral frenzy every time a Newcastle player did something wrong and implied it was down to Bobby 'losing the dressing room' - don't recall them saying owt like that when Gerrard lamped that bloke three times on cctv recently mind, must depend which club you're at eh?

When the fat leech that ran/milked our club at the time of Bobby's sacking publicly humiliated and shafted him, his equally odious mate Douglas Hall came out with 'Robson was taking us down' and the majority of the Southern based national media nodded their heads in sage acquisence.

Looking back further, the editors of these self same Southern based national newspapers crucified Robson when he was England manager, despite him being the second best national manager ever, usually for the crime of never having managed West Ham or Tottenham.

So, to see the thousands of words written yesterday idolising the man they once villified just sums up the state of this nations media and sadly, the people it's aimed at, the junk food, instant fix, 'reality tv' brigade.

Hypocritical, dishonest and idiotic - both the media and the tabloid fodder it serves.

Fuck them all.

Ps - Mike Ashley couldn't be bothered to attend yesterday - more classy behaviour from the fat cockney pikey that has wrecked a once great English Football Club. You might not have read about that like as Newcastle is a long way from Fleet Street and Wapping.

Couldn't agree more but the press have always been hypocritical cunts FH, you know that.

Incidently, I met Sir Bobby once, very nice man.

Obviously I know nothing about football but the tabloids love doing this - the week before Diana became "The Peoples Princess" the red tops were all basically calling her a right slag for going off with some foreign geezer and getting pregnant and Jade Goody, well, she went from a racist bully to a brave angel in a matter of weeks. I dont know how they get away with it

I agree with most of it, but a load of Newcastle fans i know thought along similar lines regarding Bobby losing the dressing room and being sacked, not that would admt it now like.

And where did they get that impression from....

Personally, I thought that Bobby should have been moved to a senior position before the season started to guide a young manager (maybe John Carver even?) but once the transfer budget was spent then he should have been allowed to get on with it. It didn't help that the fat slug in charge undermined him at every available opportunity either.
