The state of ‘journalism’ these days. Liverpool pair Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson cannot enjoy a break from football for even a second.
According to rag Daily Mail, footballers are never ever allowed to smile if they ever lose. No exceptions. Not even as time passes. Not in the offseason. Never.
Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson took a vacation together to Miami in a well earned break after a full season with Liverpool then international duty with England. A duty that ended, mind you, three weeks ago. But to Daily Fail, who cares? Just got to get a few clicks, right?
This is what ‘journalism’ has eroded to. ‘Journalist’ Ciara Farmer wrote scathing and slanderous sentences on the Liverpool pair, specifically Lallana. She must have missed the day in University for her degree that covered “interesting and news worthy.”
“They were bitterly disappointed following last month’s Euro 2016 elimination,” she starts an article about two men enjoying slight time away from work. “Yet England football stars Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson have managed to recover from their woes as they partied up a storm in Miami on Sunday.”

Again: their Euro 2016 campaign ended three weeks ago, not last night.
But it gets worse.
Farmer begins to insinuate an extramarital affair because a cameraman chasing ‘news’ — someone’s vacation — snapped a few photos of Lallana talking to a woman by the pool.
“As Adam took to the waters he struck up conversation with a fellow pool dweller, looking glamorous in a trilby and shades,” Farmer wrote while accompanying the text with pictures of Lallana and the woman, captioned with “the handsome star has been married to blonde beauty Emily Jubb for three years, shares two sons with his wife…”
Shocking.
Well, it would be shocking had it not been Daily Fail. In this case, it’s right up their alley and totally on-brand. Well done, really, fantastic journalism.
Looking forward to finding out Jurgen Klopp’s morning routine from waking up to breakfast in their next earth shattering exposé!
I hope she never ever takes a vacation after this, you know, this is a shocking performance like England had against Iceland. So I hope she never fancies taking a second off work because she needs to improve.
