Over analytical in my opinion, says what most of us already know but takes bloody longer to deliver it. His analytical mate Hartrick and him are two people I’d definitely not want to be in a pub with. Not to mention he seems to think he's hilarious

Apparently when he's not writing for the Examiner he runs a dating site? Just as a side gig to make hens meet. Jesus Christ , bring on the 7th August..

The articles are good, podcast is my favourite town related one, and his sense of humour is terrible but if I wanted that I'd find something in that category. Bought hartricks Bobby Robson book aswell which I'm looking forward to reading.

I don't, the only thing he has in his favour is he isn't Welton.

He's got a leeds tattoo on his arse cheek Are you sure it's a tattoo & not just insufficient wiping?

I'm not sure whether he's a good journalist or not. All I know is he's miles better than anything the Examiner has had for over a decade and I'm grateful for that.

Not for the first time, some Town fans don't know when they've got it good. For a local rag, Chicken is as good as you'll get.

I'm a big fan of Chicken. Great analytics and very clear voice. Personally, I like his sense of humour and I don't think he uses it too much to ruin the articles enough for those who don't.
Really enjoy Chicken and Hartrick's (HarChick?) Podcast too.

Much better by far than most we've had on the Examiner so pleased we have him, but he does go overboard on statistics and I wish he'd cut down a bit on the humour - he's nowhere near as funny as he thinks he is and it becomes a bit obtrusive.

And in today’s interesting Chicken revelations - apparently Bacuna and Mbenza might not be here by the start of the season.
Cutting edge reporting.

No clue, not bought the Unexamined since Mel Smooth was there and they (originally) refused to ask searching questions about ground ownership, back when FFA was a thing lol

I like Chicken (and Hartrick), their podcast is a good, relatively dispassionate and analytical look at Town which works well alongside the more fan focussed TTC and Town Social. His writing is decent too, he doesn't completely shy away from asking difficult questions and he's fair. I don't mind his humour too, although I can see why it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Overall, he's a decent journo with room to learn and a bloody good writer for a local rag.

The drop off in quality would be hugely noticeable if he left. Provides much more than many other local reporters where a match report and quotes piece might often be deemed sufficient. Good writing style, accurate and well researched. An asset to the Examiner for sure.

Blake 'Rat face' Welton or Steve Chicken?
He's been a breath of fresh air for the Examiner since that tosser left.
