Crab Lungs Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 (edited) I thought this was deserved of its own thread because of how well-written and how it would relate to so many Saints fans. The Echo has taken some rightful bashing over its conduct in recent weeks but Dan Kerins continues to write thoughtful, insightful and enjoyable articles devoid of politics and resentment towards the club. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/view_from_the_chapel/4884495.Saints_v_Pompey___why_it_matters_so_much/ One of the best pieces of journalism I've read in recent years (EDIT: from the Echo!)

Turkish Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 I seem to remember in the old days of saintsforever Crab Lungs being Dan Kerins, quite sad to devote a thread to bigging up your own article. Isn't the idea that other people talk about how good your article is not yourself? "One of the best pieces of journalism I've read in recent years" Yes compared to that clown in the echo who rights the awful singles in the city article every week and mugs himself off with his embarassing exploits but When you've finished ****ing over yourself I suggest you start reading a few proper papers if you really believe that your quite average article is truely "One of the best pieces of journalism I've read in recent years" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are without doubt my favourite 'roomie' I hope, that wherever you reside these days, that you have a chair solely dedicated to philosophical thoughts. Back on topic, I've rephrased my original appraisal (booooo!) - it should have read 'best piece of journalism from The Echo in years) which, incidentally, I believe it was - and ****ing hell, they've printed some tripe....

The9 Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 no, Crabs Lungs is Michael Wilde. Michael Wilde is a better left back, and has more hair. Come to think of it, he's probably a better striker too. Ergo, Lung = Kerin. FFS FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joensuu Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 Confused. How did the editor let this one slip through the net without having a dig at Saints? Kerins may be up for the sack if he's not more careful, he'd better toe the Echo's anti-Saints line in future. Good article: nasty rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Rick Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 This journalist is tedious at best. Every single one of his "opinion" articles has exactly the same nauseating narrative..........giddy childlike optimism......it wasn't like that in my day.....but I'll support Saints til I die.

Hamilton Saint Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 What annoys me most about this sort of writing is that every sentence must be its own paragraph - as though the reader could not possibly cope with the density of a paragraph that is, heavens above, several sentences long. Actually, the reverse is true; if you put together thematically related sentences into proper paragraphs, the text is easier to read and doesn't seem like a stream of random, unconnected thoughts.
