Because speculation is the basis of an awful lot of football journalism?

Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying that he shouldn't ask questions of the Turners as well - what I am saying is that the Turners are not the subject of his article - Cullum is. So to criticise him for not asking the same question of the Turners in that very article is a bit unfair.

You're picking on one thing he says (or to be more accurate doesn't say), when his article hinges on a number of other points as well. I'm not offering an opinion on whether I agree with him or not - I'm just pointing out that Dennis's articles usually get this kind of unbalanced criticism when similar leaps of rhetoric by other columnists are accepted without question.

        Right. So attempting to consider any of the questions he asks is unbalanced criticism (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jul 10, 21:19:26
