They're all vacuous c***s but Goldbridge and co didn't spend thousands of pounds to receive a piece of paper certifying they are qualified to talk about Pogba's latest hair-do and Lingard's snapchat story.
These blokes get more clicks from a two minute video than folks who write three hundred word match reports. Rightly or wrongly is another matter but football journalism is a load of fluff for the most part and considering how so many within that industry think they're genuinely a part of the game and superior to mere fans, it's great to see them lose their shit.

True story.
Football journalism was only really relevant in the days before mass TV coverage when a match report was what you read in lieu of being able to actually watch the game
That raison d’etre has been taken away so the only way they can now justify their existence is by the pretence that somehow their half baked opinion is more enlightened than Dave in the pub.
Not to mention they’re all clearly £#%&!ing @#%&! and the types of kids who avoided contact sport at all costs at school. They were definitely those weird kids who stood on the sideline commentating to themselves while the others actually played. Still had banana and jam sandwiches packed by their mums at the age of 15 except for Martin Samuel whose mother used to deep fry them.
