I left about a year after they implemented their Escenic system, which encouraged cutting and pasting from sister websites. A piss poor method of teaching young trainees how to be a journalist. They also set 70,000 page view targets a day, which was unachievable. But, I guess that was the point...

Scunthorpe Telegraph. Unfortunately, it has since been decimated by Reach and no longer has an office in Scunthorpe. Much like the rest of the places owned by that company.

This is ace. I still have my stories from 10 years ago in print (they're nothing like an undercover drugs report). Would love to move them to digital someday.

Gudmundsson had the most bizarre game. Poor but good in equal measure. That being said, a lot of players weren't at it. That also being said, some of the reaction to this result is OTT. But that's social media, I guess.

I'm probably in the minority who thinks that competing with the likes of Bournemouth (urgh) is a decent result. But I am open to being convinced.

It was only a few years ago that people were showing up outside his house for missing a pen against Newcastle.

It was the manner of the goals for me. You can't win the ball back and give it away while still on the edge of your 18 yard box. As for the third and forth, lightweight to say the least. Didn't feel like we competed past 25 minutes.

I was right behind it in the kop and in real time it looked like he lent into it. Suspect if he held his arms behind his back VAR would have looked at it differently.

I remember watching his promotion interview and thinking the January comment may have just been a slip of the tongue. But then he made the same comment to another outlet. Can't imagine it went down well.

Feel like there's a lot of projection from the fanbase at the moment. Put simply: win our remaining home games, pick up one or two wins away and draw the rest and we're up. Sheff Utd and Burnley objectively will drop points due to playing each other and one will drop more points along the way.

They would be taken off covering courts immediately, if it were me. There's too much detail which would be missed. I find shorthand is also a skill for life, but that obviously doesn't wash when it comes to those who decide what trainees should and shouldn't learn these days.

I work for a publication which still covers court, so I use it at least twice a week — though I still use it for general note taking. I would still expect trainees to learn it as I wouldn't trust sending any journalist to court, or inquests for that matter, if they didn't know it.

I've said this before, but the Bielsa years were coloured by 16 years outside the Premier League plus a squad of players who arguably no one expected to challenge for promotion. This season is entirely transactional with a squad which should be promoted (probably should already be in the PL).

You could make the case that the 3-3 vs Cardiff was arguably worse given we were 3-0 up. But I just can't shake the feeling that we were cruising today prior to the Meslier fuck up (again).

I can't think of a side in the last 20 years that's been in the top two and sacked their manager, but still been promoted. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though.

It's tiresome now. The 'Farke out' stuff, I mean.

Yeah, I seem to remember being pretty pleased with him as an addition to the squad at the time. That quickly ended when he evidently looked out of his depth.
