Spoilt Princesses moaning about Media Coverage of Wolves

It has some really forced analogies

Longing for the days of Timmy II here.

That is such a clunky article that has had a 2 minute google search to finish it off. Maybe go into more detail on his time here....like how he got Wolves fans insanely excited after his pre-season performances and then how Dave Jones used him as the easy one to drop/not play as things got tough. When he did play he was fine, Jones even got boo'd when he subbed him in one game (Silas thought they were aimed at him).

If Joey is going to keep doing these articles, maybe try and find a way to speak to the player and get their view on the time at the club.

Hopefully the Fleetwood lady will do the football while Edwards does the content fillers like this, which is what he was doing beforehand anyway

 

[Kenny]

Is it beyond the scope of the E&S though to put a bit of effort into these filler articles though. That is essentially "hey remember Silas, he was shit wasn't he. Anyway he played for some other teams and became a manager, obvs he would do that as he played for Jose, but he just got sacked. Shame. Hope he is ok though"

Great

Jesus christ that is an appalling collection of sentences thrown together to be called an article. Not that the sentences themselves are anything but a confusing jumble of facts and trite opinions.

Is this the new gonzo?

That’s not even a fucking article, if that’s the best he can put out he may as well give up now. No doubt he’ll have rucks of followers on Twitter licking his hoop though. Appalling stuff.

Timmy's q&a on The Athletic is decent tbf. Most obvious point is there's no need for him to be incendiary

That Edward's article reads like something AI would write as a system test. Awful, short sentences with zero imagination.

Don't watch a video then. The problem is he has a really thick Black Country accent, which I like, unfortunately what he says does nothing to kill prejudices.

It's as if a 12 year old who isnt particularly gifted at language has been given a keyboard after experimenting with his parents spirits cupboard.

The only way I can read it is if I turn my inner monologue into a Janet and John reading style.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm sure he's proficient at something otherwise they wouldn't employ him. But a writer he is not.

It's daft, 20 years ago no-one would say owning a pen and some paper makes you a writer. Give someone a keyboard and an Internet connection, and apparently they are.

I don't want to sound haughty, really I don't. But I like to think that when I write (and I will, the site relaunch is coming) there's proper value and reasonable ability behind it. Not just bland words that go nowhere.

Finally cracked and signed up for the Athletic (used Tim II's link for cheap subscription). It is very good, some really interesting articles - Micah Richards one today was very good. Its almost as the Guardian used to be for football.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Pfft giving Tim extra cash...shocking.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Tim's journalism on the Athletic is actually very, very good. The writing is much more insightful and intelligent that his E&S stuff.

Must be an editorial policy at E&S to dumb stuff down and be sensationalist.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Promote Rosie Swarbrick and send Edwards to report on Wolves council meetings. they do fuck all and he writes in the same vein. Numpty or what!

What a fucking useless article. Essentially, road has a queue!

Motorists are facing delays after resurfacing work began on a major route through the Black Country.

Ok, a main route, this may be worth knowing...

A team from Dudley Council began work on the scheme on the Birmingham New Road at Coseley on Monday morning.

So it is happening now? Cool, I need to know information.

One lane has been closed on both sides of the carriageway between the junction with Mason Street and the junction with the A457 Sedgley Road.

So likely to have a fair impact. Tell me more!

Traffic has been building up in the area at busy times of the day causing long queues for drivers travelling between Dudley and Wolverhampton.

You don't say! Talk about stating the fucking obvious.

The route is one of the busiest in the region and in 2017 a £1.5m scheme aimed at tackling congestion along the stretch at Coseley was completed.

Ditto.

It was also designed to address road safety concerns following a series of accidents.

The work included the creation of new filter lanes and improved pedestrian crossings and conditions for cyclists while bus priority measures were also introduced.

That isn't news, it is history.

But wait, where is the relevant information? How long are these projected roadworks due to take? Are there suggestions for alternate routes? Anything the paper does to minimise the impact on people? No, fuck all there.

Interesting article on Wycombe yesterday with Bergkamp and Co wanting to buy them

His stuff on our recovery was top work. Still a few things that annoy me though. He has done a story on the Sheff Wed FA Cup penalty shoot out and he makes out that Waddle was boo'd because we were all angry he missed a penalty v Germany 5 years before. Nope, he got boo'd because in the build up he did an interview and called us a small team and one Wednesday should not be concerned about. Such a small part but if you don't know, don't presume.

Yes read that yesterday, didn’t come out of it feeling that Wycombe are in a good place though.

Tim is slightly too young for that era I think, should have done better research though. Still it was an interesting read and it’s always good to watch it on YouTube again.
