The Athletic

So does anybody read this? They have one more day of 50% off annual subscription so I'm thinking of pulling the trigger but is it worth it?

Aside of football I follow a lot of the US Sports too and I understand their coverage is really good but I can get a fair bit for free.

Be interested to know your thoughts

Ours is James Pearce, who is a good writer.

David Ornstein (Arsenal man) gone there too.

I've read some good stuff on it that's been leaked, but also read some that is just padded out waffle, no quotes, nothing groundbreaking just someone with a higher level of intellect writing the same cliches essentially.

Whilst on this topic, what are peoples preferred 'free' sites for decent football articles? Other than BBC/SSN etc.

Guardian is the best for football.

Thought you had to pay for some stuff though once you scroll down on any half decent article?

Ornstein the one that has a band of Twitter followers and he's some kind of cult/meme hero?
