Do you think the club says too much nowadays or is it that with the onset of social media there is such a thirst for news that media agencies will push harder for even the smallest tit-bit?

Yes, and yes.
What's the longest you have ever gone wearing a pair of jeans before you washed them? I usually try and hold off on washing a new pair for at least the first 5-10 wears but at a certain point you have to throw them in the wash.
Luckily I've had pretty good luck with turning the jeans inside out and cold washing them. I've heard some people go to the trouble of hand washing them in the kitchen sink but I ain't bout that life.

It's tricky because the club was being criticised over the summer for not saying enough. Actually very little of what we or any other club say on the record is of any significance or genuine interest but with 24 hour sports news coverage and newspapers now being led by their online presence clubs have to provide something to feed the media's appetite.
A microbiologist went an entire year wearing the same pair of jeans without washing them. He took swabs along the way and came to the conclusion that denim is a difficult material for bacteria to grow on.
I bet he they were fucking stinking by the end of it. Surely he was spilling all sorts of crap on them?
I'd rather we said less, and we did that this summer which, while boring, was for the better. It is difficult to get away with being tight-lipped now though.
It's not just the media though is it?
It's us, the supporters that drive the insane speculation of the transfer period. Media companies simply look at the online stats: what makes people click on things so that they get eyeballs on their websites. This in turn increases their ability to generate advertising revenue.
So next time, when you get all excited about Messi or Neymar to Liverpool, just know that your click through is driving the media companies to make up more and more shite. Cos you'll click it again.
We're all doomed.

You've never owned any raw denim jeans then I take it!
When I was about 18 I got into wearing real raw denim jeans, the rule is generally a minimum of six months before their first wash. In layman's terms you create the fade on the jeans by wearing them. Washing them before enough wear locks the indigo in & stops that.
The trick I was told then was taking them off, folding them, putting them in a sealed bag, freezing them (kills bacteria), & then spraying with vodka. Seemed to work, never started to smell anyway!
Haven't bought a pair of raw denim for years now, but have a pair of 501's that now I've lost weight I could actually get into again now I think of it!
Does pissing mysel count?
Obv.
Bit late now. Could've done with that advice about 12 years ago.
Still, kept them feeling & smelling fresh.
I've heard of genetic engineering but this is ridiculous.
The most dangerous publicists are the ones who think they're much smarter than they actually are. And we've got that type. Take the Balotelli briefing a couple of days ago: if you're going to do that at all (and I rather doubt that managers would want ex-players to do it about them), then you do it after he's gone, NOT when he's still at the club, when the story actually makes it even harder to get rid of him. I despair.
Frankenstein denim.
Yeah, I found that leak rather pathetic.
