Working in the media, unfortunately it is just the way things are. For eery premier league match report, the word limit is usually 400/450 (this for online). League Cup, unless it's a big game, the usual count is around 300. It's just the way it is.
Working in media means you have a blog on how many beans you can stick up your nose while sitting in your spiderman undies in your student halls
Well I haven't been to uni mate... but alright
What are you doing in uni halls then?
Liverpool!May I ask which area of the country you bought these newspapers?
I think it depends which regional edition of the national newspaper you read.
The North West editions will feature Eveton more than the West Midlands or London editions will.
The other thing is I have noticed over the years that 8 o'clock kick offs don't get much reporting the following morning.
I think there may be a cut off point for filing match reports for the next morning's papers which comes just too soon for the kater starts.
Fantastic tit
So, no one on Merseyside wanted to read anything about a game involving Everton? You're missing the point mate. And that is that it costs peanuts for papers to produce regional variations of their output. Yet in what i can only presume was supposedly the north west edition we didn't get one word of a match report on last nights game. Never mind what the rest of the country is interested in, I'm talking about supporters in the north west.STOP PRESS! Paper makes decision to print stories it thinks its readers will be interested in and help sell it!
BREAKING NEWS! Country isn't desperate to read about Reading v Everton in the nation's 2nd most watched cup compeition.

BAWK is back!On Monday I read the Everton-Swansea reports in both The Mail and The Express. The Mail 'report' was less than 50 words. The Express was less than 100. In an age when regional versions of a newspaper can readily be produced with a bit of rejigging this is appalling. But blow me, I again buy The Express today to see the report of last nights game. I flick past a whole page report of Villa-B'ham and half or quarter page reports on a number of others. I go through the sports pages again because I'd obviously overlooked the Everton-Reading report. Still can't find it -- because there wasn't one! Unbelievable. Has there been any previous occasion, ever, when a national newspaper on sale in Liverpool omitted a report on us?
Eventually I came across a two sentence reference to the game in a short column reviewing all the other games together!
