Martin Samuel's last ever piece in the Daily Mail today.

Where’s he off to? One of the only ones that tells the truth consistently.

I just read in the Times thay he's gone back there.

Nice one. Good. At least he’s not quitting.

Martin Samuel, one of the most influential names in sports journalism, has been appointed to The Times and The Sunday Times, and will start on 11th January 2023. He will also appear as a contributor on talkSPORT and TalkTV in a deal spanning broadcast and print.

Martin will pen his views in weekly columns on all the big sporting stories. He will also write across the news pages and magazines - both digitally and in print - for The Times and The Sunday Times throughout the year.

On talkSPORT, Martin will co-host a weekly show every Thursday night from 7-10pm - talking through all the latest sports news. He will also serve as a regular guest on the station’s breakfast show, and will appear frequently in the studio as a panellist on TalkTV.

Martin is an award-winning journalist who joins Times Media after 14 years at the Daily Mail and Mail Online as sports columnist. He was a sports columnist for GQ Magazine from 2012 and has previously worked for The Times, News of the World, Jewish Chronicle, Daily Express, The Sun and Sunday People.

Martin said: “Returning to The Times and covering what I think is the most exciting patch in journalism, is a huge honour. I’m also looking forward to meeting new audiences on talkSPORT and TalkTV.”

Nice one for this.

I really hope his level doesn’t drop once he’s on TS

John Bishop taking the piss out of Grealish on his show, because Jack said “ the best thing since sliced veg” fuck off Bishop go and suck Hattons cock

Why isn’t the football
Media calling out how disgraceful Liverpool fans are ?
Answer too scared of upsetting them
You are not allowed to say anything negative about them .
Boils my piss

Don't let the media agenda upset you.

Lewis, Foden and Palmer all on the pitch together last night. That is one third representation of the team, by home grown talent, for one of the best club sides in world football.
That is impressive. Ignored by the media. Instead they focus on our £100M man.

Earlier today on talksport Nunez was being bigged up. One bloke said something like '... Nunez has everything, more than Haaland, he has........ whereas Haaland only scores goals....'.

Gapko (3WC goals) is a steal at £40M, Liverpool transfer business is so smart you see, but wait, Alvarez WC winner (4WC goals) at £14M is a ...... the silence is deafening.....

Laugh, don't get upset.

Did it have to include this non-related piece '...following a night in which Liverpool fans were also allegedly racially abused...'
How is that 'allegation' in anyway connected to a 15 year old girl being hit by a beer cup?

Liverpool is the most racist City in the UK Barton’s brother literally axed a kid for being black!

Because racism is the ultimate sin, worse than murder.

There's a bit in the BBC about some twat who shat in the garden of Azeem Rafiq, an ex Yorkshire cricketer. Now, although shitting in someone's garden is unpleasant, it's hardly a front page crime.
But they think it's racist.

Gary and Jamie reckon Nunez will be world class in one or two years.
Both are very impressed so far, Nunez terrifies defenders, no defender wants to play against him, the goals will come. Seemingly, the goals are incidental because Nunez does so much 'other stuff' like against Leicester and defenders can't handle him.

Bit of a change in focus from the preseason debate of who will score more Haaland or Nunez and the absolute hysteria after the charity shield game when Haaland missed a sitter and Nunez scored one goal.

Goal scoring seemingly does not matter anymore when evaluating a CF bought to score goals. Go figure

[PeterParker]

Magnificent how the media is trying to convince everyone Nunez will eventually come good

And compare it to the narrative Grealish has had this week. He must score more goals.

Which is correct, but that’s not what we bought him to predominantly do whereas that’s Nunez’s job

Same with Werner at Chelsea last year

Tebas will be all over this, won’t he?

No wonder Juventus were desperate for the ESL to be pushed through

This club is the definition of corruption.
But somehow they are considered "football royalty".

Makes me sick.

How the fuck do they still owe Ronaldo £20M? Bonkers

So here’s and interesting one. 21 of the squad of 30 U17 players for Cameroon failed an age test.

More Cameroon U-17 players fail age testing enforced by Eto'o

Fuck careagher with his 160m subs bullshit

[sniffer]

Yes he failed to mention that first to subs, Lewis and Akanji cost 15m

[Dimples]

I think Carragher tries to be neutral and objective.
But he just cannot maintain it. His bias and emotional attachment to Liverpool always win out.
Then he just comes across as another bitter resentful Dipper choking on their cornflakes.

Still prefer Carragher to Neville. Who always come across as a sly, snidey, slimy, snake pushing his agenda while hiding behind a mask of pretend professionalism.

Football media getting giddy over MU. 'Are MU title contenders' has now entered the conversation. Along with Ten Bob winning a trophy in his first season. I know it is being hyped because they are playing us next, but still it is a bit far fetched - correct? I mean they are absolute dog shit - correct?

Until you apply chilling cold hard facts.

If they beat us (and that is not a big if after last night's first half performance) then they are one point behind us. So if we think we can win the league, then it is reasonable for them to think they can also?

Yet, MU as title contenders sounds absolutely ridiculous. But is it?

The notion of them being shit is long gone, they are massing points and cannot be dismissed. They are title contenders as things stand, however they will fall short, they lack a potent no9.

We should beat them if we turn up, no formation experiments and players out of positions.
