I have an aquaintance who is a journalist as well as being a season ticket holder on the Holte. He covered a Lambert press conference at the start of the season and was amazed to find that the club had to review and pass all that he had written down, removing anything that they didn't like.

I'm not sure if this is the case elsewhere, although I suspect it is, but either way, it hardly breeds a healthy relationship.

I listened to the recording of that FAC thing, and was pretty amazed.

i didn't hear anything which I haven't heard, at some point, almost every other manager in the league say. I thought it was supposed to be controversial?

What turned this into a story was a mix of WM deciding to spin it out to be something it wasn't (what a surprise - why, for example, start retweeting shit Rodney Marsh says if it isn't to just stir things up?), and Brian Doogan shitting his pants and trying to get the journalist to retract it.

What pissed me off most was the BBC article about it quoted Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp saying pretty much the same thing and received no negative press.

Even though Man Ure are having a bad time their reporters are steadfast with their support of them even though the phone ins are quite vitriolic. WM are biting the hand that feeds them as Villa fans who aren't happy with the way they report on the club can tune in to the other local stations. Then Franksie and the other ,non-entity will be told how to report as listening figures fall.

At least Lambert had the balls to answer honestly and then only made 3 changes, one enforced. The stand in manager at Albion made 8 changes but no comments on that from WM.

News At Ten on Friday made a big deal of starting their story with 'FA Cup third round weekend is a special date on the football calender but one Premier League manager doesn't agree.' Then asked Nigel Clough for his views without commenting on the fact he said with the money involved in the Premier League that is how Premier League managers would think. Basically saying that is how he would think, so from that snippet he seemed to be saying it more strongly than Lambert.

That's surprising it made news at ten.

It's just a load of self delusion and doublethink when it comes to the cups. What a bunch of tedious morons the press are, especially sports journos.

Actually it might have been the half six ITN news. I know I was in the kitchen and was surprised when I heard it on there. I think it was the 'and finally'. Lambert was unlucky. It was obviously a slow news day when it comes to skateboarding dogs.

Regan was a knob on WM after the game last night.  He'd obviously thought he'd got his 1 big story that might put him in the national limelight.  PL said no worse than what Allerdyce said this afternoon after an (IMHO) a more embarrasing defeat on national TV.  At least we can be happy due to ITV's piss poor coverage we were hidden away on a near midnight slot.

The media does it's best to reduce interest in the FA Cup.  I've not seen 1 jingle advertising this weekends live games on ITV, get we get a wall-to-wall spunkfest leading up to a Champions League 'matchweek'.  I'd love the BBC to get it back.

Ironically, the only way the cup could be saved would be to give it to Sky. It would then be the greatest tournament in the world.
