So, I'm not the only one p*ssed off with the Standard. It definitely went down hill when the Russians bought it.
But the football coverage is what winds me up more than anything. It looks like they're buying it in and so getting national type coverage, like the Metro. If people want to read about Manchester City, then they can read any of the nationals. There's no excuse whatsoever for not having covered our so important win against Leeds.
There's an outside chance of about ten London teams in the Championship next year plus others in One and Two - we all should expect decent coverage in a London paper.0 -
Stopped getting The Standard in 2001 when they stopped publishing the Bristow cartoon strip.
Still get an occasional fix here though! frankdickens.com/
Who could possibly forget "The Great Tea Trolley Disaster of '67"?0 -
Was it as long ago as that? If I remember it correctly, was it not the front off side that went?cafcfan said:Stopped getting The Standard in 2001 when they stopped publishing the Bristow cartoon strip.

The Metro's even worse. Today they led with a guy in India who eats bricks. Cutting edge journalismThe Red Robin said:

There used to be a barmaid in the Pickwick who liked to suck rocks.

I quite like the Standard - clearly am in a minority.
The Metro is truly dreadful, but I sometimes pick one up if there's been rain - makes for a handy covering to put on a wet seat on the train platform.0 -
Nah, as much as New York is a great city - it has 2 major downers in comparison to London...The Red Robin said:

1) None of the 'real' Heritage that London has
2) The rudest locals on the planet.0 -

If this is supposed to be a London Paper then then the whole sports team should be sacked.SilentAddick said:

Think he meant there was no mention in the Metro this morning.0

I couldn't believe it either to be honest, yet there was a whole page interview with Mertersaker when Arsenal played on Monday and don't play again till Sunday.0

So was the angry email I sent to the Standard's Sport Editor unnecessary?2

Apparently according to The Sub Standard Crystal Palace shared their ground with Charlton 1985 to 1986... Do they ever get any of their facts right about us?0

It's deliberate and not even funny anymore.0

The bit about Selhurst said words along the lines of "Crystal Palace helped Charlton and Wimbledon out by letting them groundshare".
