    Sunday world

    Firstly I apolagise for reading the Sun World, but this Curtis guy keeps catching me unawares. Once again I dropped around to the shop this mornin (hungover) to grab a paper to read over breaky and I picked up the Sun World without thinking. Curtis's article in the 8 page pullout was pure tripe. The most negative, uninformed rubbish I have ever read, I think he does his research by reading the Sun or someother rag. He was still going on about traps comments on S reid and how domenech called us England B team, which as we all know know was a missinterpretation. He also went on to confirm we WOULD be beaten on saturday and Trap was rubbish and how any other manager could get S Ireland back and off course reid, reid reid bla bla bla.

    Absolute horse sh!t in my opinion. The most negative, 2nd hand, incorrect, child like and rubccish article I have ever read.
    I would love to meet this guy in the street, his knowledge and writing style is rotten.

    I presume my opinion is shared by most of you. I promise never to buy this rag again.
    My worry is that some people/fans read this and actually believe the tripe, its so wrong to publish this sh!t in so many ways.

    To finish, who do people hold in high regard....what papers? what writers?

    Independent has always had good writers, no sensationalism to be had just writers expressing their opinion on situations. You might not always agree with everything they have to say but they won't dress up their opinion or spout rubbish. And I've never seen the point of reading viewpoints that are identical to your own, always nice to see contrasting views.

    I couldn't agree more. Curtis' style of writing is disgraceful. I've posted my view on him many times before - in fact I may have started a thread about the fool.That said, I read the SW every few months when just to read the childish rubbish that he writes.

    I don't really have a fav journalist.In fact,I very rarely read the sports part on the daily papers because there is no "new" news from what's on the telly / radio the night before.

    Fanning can be interesting, but I can't help feeling is a little smug. I like Rod Liddle and Norcroft in the Sunday Times, but they don't write much about the Irish team
