Huffingpost Sports is as bad as their parent. 17:25 - Dec 2 with 1080 viewsDavillin

What a pack of horseshit in this article, from top to bottom. Typical HuffPost.

Typical American hysteria from a lack of understanding of the facts, and it's very annoying. [Edit: I wonder where they got their "information." I'd hate to tell you what I think.]

Read it for yourself and see if you can spot the stupidity ["stupidities"]:

Love the way the article bigs up his achievements, with dates.

Dates from which the reader could ascertain he'd done fuk all in years.

Have you ever read anything he copies and pastes on here? I know I can't bring myself to do so.

10% true - 90% false. Also an article that could be written in 5 minutes with no knowledge of the sport whatsoever, except a quick look at Bradley's wiki page and a Siggi quote cut and pasted from somewhere else. On second thoughts make that 3 minutes.

Yes, European managers (and South American managers) would have got an easier ride, and Bradley isn't a know-nothing, having been in the business for 40 years, but he still hasn't achieved anything at club level that would warrant him becoming a Premier League manager. All of us are supporting him, but having doubts isn't being anti-American.

It's a lazy article, written by someone with a weekly quota of articles to meet and zero knowledge of the game.

Poll: Who should be our next manager? Please name them.

There have been several articles like this. I appreciate the patriotism, but what none of them seem to grasp is we wouldn't be happy with a British or European manager that had spent the best part of 30 years plodding around the MLS, Norway and the French second division. Likewise, we would be more than happy with an American manager who had been in charge of Juventus or Bayern Munich.

Much easier to just play the Swansea/British football is anti-American card though.

I'm not about to defend that half-assed article, but it's not true that all of us are supporting him.

In fact some are hoping Spurs destroy us tomorrow.

The whole of the media is like this. Beeb is the worse. Dopey cunits Shearer or Savage say something on MOTD and it's a story on their homepage the next day.

RIP proper journalism.

Their parent is The Huffington Post, a very un-objective "news" site. Often repeats the latest craze -- "fake news stories."

Some like it.

You might try one or two. i post items that I think will please, amuse, or inform. I have no idea why one would not be able to bring himself to read them.

I certainly do not hold it against anyone who feels as you do.

Completely agree Huffington Post is garbage. But also consider it is a blog. They don't product content. They blog, have guest bloggers, and buy content from content providers. Nothing but 1 idiots' opinion.

Think this read. from an actual news source, is a bit better from the other month:
