Any shred of credibility Jim White ever had has been completely eroded in the last 4-5 years. The man is the human embodiment of The Sun.
“It’s only football” says Jim White; the man who has made a substantial living from the game for the best part of 15-20 years because of fans’ devotion to their clubs.

The saddest part is, you can tell he doesn’t even believe the words he’s saying, it’s all done for clicks.
“Bury and Bolton fans, don’t worry. If your clubs go out of business, just go and watch Manchester United instead!”
I couldn’t find this clip on here and I know if I rip it and put it up, I’ll risk getting a suspension but Colin Firth’s character discussing the depth of emotion football fans feel for their club in Fever Pitch is the perfect antidote to White’s bile.
Don’t think I’ve ever had a tweet with more “Quote Tweets” than “Retweets”. All 955 of them are in some way calling Jim White a wanker and it’s wonderful.
