Dog in the manger.

Southampton Football Club have been left in bad odour following an attempt to make money by banning press photographers from their ground, and making newspapers wanting to show photos of the match, buy them from their "official" photographer. Pretty stupid really to go up against the power of the press, and The Sun newspaper in particular retaliated by refusing to use their name, and headlining their report on Saturday's match, which they lost to Plymouth, "Opposition 0, Plymouth 1". A local newspaper had the bright idea of sending a cartoonist to the match to do sketches of the action. Thankfully Southampton seem to have seen sense and backed down.
