Mr Savage is popular in the papers today. After last week's shenanigans at Derby, the journos are falling over themselves in the rush to get the exclusives and dirt on Sav.

So the club sensibly said, nope, he aint talking to none of you vultures, piss off.

That dunt stop them though, they talk to us instead! And nick loads of stuff from the web. And rehash old interviews to make it look like Sav has granted them an exclusive...cheeky bleeders.

The Observer has done a good fair piece where they've done their research, taken quotes from all over admitting Sav aint talking to anyone at the mo. and given both sides of Sav, good and bad.

Oh and they've quoted FFS so we like them.

Entitled "Hair of the dog" the Observer has quotes from fans and fellow professionals...here's a few.

"f****** cheat, f****** cheat," George Burley, Ipswich manager

"Only he could get an Armani tattoo" Ryan Giggs, Manc scum and fellow Welsh git

"I've set up a page on my website showing how much I dislike him." Paul Taylor, sad Spurs fan (www.spursonline.co.uk)

"We need players like him because of the sterling service he provides to opposing fans" Alex Priest, the Chelsea voice of reason (www.chelsea-fc.org.uk)

"At times he's a snarling cheating monster of a player, but nobody can deny he gives his all for Leicester City - a fine quality in a footballer at any level. Although he may not be the most talented player in the world, he has a head of hair that any woman would be proud of." Paul & Ian, articlulate Geordies, there's a novelty (www.toonweb.co.uk)

The News of the World have rehashed anything they can find and made it look like they're suddenly best friends with Sav seeing as he's flavour of the month and therefore sells papers. But at least they've made him look like a good guy. And suddenly he's man of the match in there too for the Fulham game.

Their piece entitled "Savage's Animal Instinct" has him at the PDSA, and the sub title "Robbie's a real softie at heart." They quote him from the Fulham game's programme amongst older stuff. That's copyright aint it? Are LCFC watching?

Football's public enemy number one last week, the press's darling this week. How wonderfully fickle the tabloids are...
