Even when I was recently in the barbers waiting my turn, I didn't soil my fingers by picking that rag up, I may now even change where I have my hair cut

For football coverage, although they can't compare with the more serious papers they are the best of the rest.

Agree with all before me.

And they've done away with the tits.

Yes, their tribute to Graham Taylor was particularly classy.

Some things are bigger than club rivalries

Well said.

Even if they were to reanimate Hunter Thompson and give him the editor's gig, never buy (or read) The S*n.

Not aware that the Sun has done anything against Villa

Was going to respond but hopefully you've got the message by now.

I can't see why any football fan would buy The S*n, to be honest. Surely everyone knows how to find pictures of tits on the internet by now, anyway?

I have never paid money for that rag and wont. Bloke at work buys it every day, strange but it takes all sorts, he is a b-looser!

As long as you don't buy that rag called the Mirror, you are ok by me!

History will show that Murdoch treated society in exactly the same way that he treated football.  The Sun is not alone in its lack of morality.  The Daily Mail (supreme court judges are the enemies of the people) has been mentioned.  I would add the disgusting Daily Express who this morning run a front page arse lick of the Duke of Edinburgh who called it "a bloody awful newspaper". The headline reads "Thank You Sir".

Good point, same here. I enjoy The Granma's football podcast but refuse to contribute a penny to that rag despite their "whilst you're here" online begging. We're a diverse group here so it'd be a shame if some papers' stories were censored.

For the sake of balance the Mirror and Herald (the Sun as was) were bloody good newspapers in the olden days.  Maxwell and Murdoch were the principal terminators.
