I can understand why people might write a letter to Faulkner (I've been tempted myself), but I'll never understand why they want other people to read it - not particularly this one, but the one that unbelievably self righteous Chris bloke published recently.

Just tell the bloke what you've got to tell him - that's why it's in a letter. The minute it starts getting shared around on web sites or twitter or wherever, it becomes an exercise in self indulgence.

Or, alternatively, spray COCK PISS FAULKNER down the side of his company Rover.

Reply from Paul:

Dear Mate of Cuz,
           
What are you writing for me for? I am the best British songwriter of my generation. What you need is a magician.

Try Paul Daniels.

Regards, P. Weller.

Mr Weller should use that as lyrics for a new song. Be better than most of the stuff he writes.  ;)

Sticking it on Manchester United headed paper would probably ensure that it at least gets read though.

Unlikely.
Lerner would snatch it straight from Faulkners hands and rush to the nearest toilet.

I bet Faulkner wouldn't chuck a badly spelt letter in the bin if it included a season ticket renewal application.

Although I'd like to think he wouldn't be as much of a snob as some people on here

It's nothing to do with snobbery.  You can't expect to be taken seriously if your letter marks you out as being a bit thick.

I think even on here we ask for basic grammar and punctuation, but allow some liberties given the environment and platform. If you are going to send a letter worth reading, just because you think the person you are sending it to is crap at his job, don't assume that he is also thick. Paul Faulkner still has a senior high profile job, and has had similar positions outside of football. The one thing he probably isn't is thick. Communication, if it is to be taken seriously should be appropriately delivered.

We're the fourth most decorated club not the fifth. Unless you're counting the bloody Charity Shield.

are Villa and Spurs the only teams to have won half a Charity Shield each?

Don't forget the Peace Cup
