The Sun v Saints

As you may have heard, suits at Southampton recently chose to deny photographers press accreditation for the new season, and said that all newspapers and agencies would have to negotiate for images of home games from one outlet, The Digital South. Well, the Sun came up with this brilliant response to Saints' little scheme:

Today we are printing the most one-sided match report in the history of The Sun.

While applauding Plymouth's amazing victory we are deliberately ignoring one of the hottest title favourites in history.

All this is down to Southampton's draconian executive chairman Nicola Cortese. His totally crazy decision to ban national and local newspaper photographers from the game will hurt his club more than he thinks.

This senseless move will not make him extra money but it will turn the fans and, more importantly, sponsors away from the club.
