ron obvious 1,473 Posted November 20, 2010 ... I''ve ever read!! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/championship/8149041/Norwich-City-1-Leeds-United-1-match-report.htmlLooking at NewsNow''s round up of match reports, I was just thinking how boring it was that all the nationals must get their Champ. reports from the same source,when I came across the above.Hilarious!Where do you think the reporter comes from? It certainly doesn''t read as if English is his first language. The last sentence is particularly wonderful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morisons Prozac 0 Posted November 21, 2010 From what I can make out it is completely biased against us, something about not being able to see how we are play-off contenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Depraved 0 Posted November 21, 2010 biggest load of drivel I''ve read in a long time, even the editor looks like he had had enough by cutting him off at the end. I hope they didn''t actually pay him for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,582 Posted November 21, 2010 Does it stop in full flow so you will rush out and buy the paper?Anyway,a rather biased review,but a cracking photo of Barnett[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroyslefteyebrow 0 Posted November 21, 2010 Biased, but well written.None of the usual sub-GCSE, ex-pro, cliche ridden drivel.The sad thing is that most Leeds fans wouldn''t understand it so would ''Bang ''im'' anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The pressure exerted on their goal in the second half by a rejuvenated Norwich City would have seen flimsier sides baulk but the visitors failed to stem that onslaught by occupying their opponents at the other end."I''ve read it over and over again and it still makes me chuckle. And this is in the Telegraph? He must get paid by the word... and then suddenly it stops! Great spot Ron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I.m sorry but I have to disagree. Odd choices of word conjunction, which can work, but here just look clumsy:"Championship matches involving them have racked 64 goals and that volatility was illustrated by a performance which produced conflicting signals." "They are well-placed in fifth but their display was constructed by an unadulterated fortitude on the back foot and an increasing anaemia going forward" .........."A largest crowd at Carrow Road for 18 years could not roar any incisiveness into their football" ..............My guess is the guy was last employed at an Indian call centre.

a1canary 0 Posted November 22, 2010 That''s hilarious Ron. It does sound like GCSE if you ask me! Like a 15 year old has been given English homework to write a match report in the style of Stuart Hall! The ending is genius - "...Fox''s corner was headed."

e10_yellow 0 Posted November 22, 2010 Definitely comes across like a work experience kid trying too hard. Will check back to see if he does the Telegraph''s report for the derby as well - I''m hoping it will be in the form of a haiku. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
