Fortunately the readership of that newspaper is very very small, and unlikely anyone north of Notting Hill will read it.

Me too. Colin is too easy though to poke fun at.

Hijacked by the metropolitan elite and the editorial team at the Today programme. Very good sports coverage though.

It's spent most of the last twenty years in a monumental effort to become a parody of itself.

Not that many thousands, in fact I believe the circulation for big and bouncy and train spotting world is somewhat larger.

The Guardian has a readership of over 18.5 million. I wouldn’t know about the other 2.

Physical distribution only 100,000, I assume you are referring to the internet

The location of the readers isn’t really a caveat is it? The serious point is that Derby County’s reputation is further dented by a well-known and widely-read satirist. 

Not widely read amongst the average football fan, also the "satirist" is extremely unfunny

There’s a lot of “average football fans” who read it judging by the comments on the Guardian site and your view as “unfunny” is not a fact but an opinion.

I thought it was mildly amusing and too soft to cause much damage. Like being hit with a foam hammer. I kinda liked sleeping Wayne dreaming of success.

He can dream  all day long about past glories. Unlikely to be any future ones, football wise..... but he apparently has other things to fantasize about.
