If you compare the attitude of the media now compared to what it was not so long ago, although there's still plenty of crap designed to unsettle us, it's being balanced out by more positive stuff.
I think our PR people have been earning their money.
I agree
I don't think the press have been half as venomous as they have been even a handful of weeks ago...I think in general they realise that we have made some great buys...that...coupled with our decent start to the season has some of them backtracking furiously...I think if we had started badly we would be getting hammered regularly by the red tops

So they were sharpening the knives just in case, but in their obsessive need to write something about us, they could only sell a positive article? Well, it just gives you a case of the warm fuzzies don't it?

The more well known ones, Holt, Henry Winter, Martin Samuel etc have been a lot more even handed with us for a while now though, some even saying nice things about us. I think we've made an effort to get our side of the story to these blokes & they've taken some of it on board.
