Well actually I enjoyed reading that piece, but not for the reasons I
think it was supposed to be enjoyed for, and not just because Theo comes
from a couple of miles away from me. I enjoyed it because it made me smile
the way it never once mentioned the word 'talent' and also because the
only 'talent' the author, as many of the same ilk do, shows is
the 'talent' to be snide, sneering, condescending etc.. I shan't venture
to question whether it is sour grapes on account of its being the
only 'talent' the author (who has got to be in his/her early 20's or
younger, or much younger yet, right?) possesses.... We've all met that
sort before - at least, those of us who know any reasonable number of
journalists do!'
I just offer one piece of advice to any aspiring journalists out there:
avoid this sort of thing! It's awful!
Sorry, just had to get all that in before the enigmas of FA Cup Day....
Cheers,
Tom
