Newspaper 'monkeys' - Hearts boss

Hearts owner calls newspaper journalists 'monkeys' in bizarre web post

Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov described reporters from a newspaper as having "both the habits and instincts of monkeys."
The Lithuanian businessman aimed his comments on the club's Web site at the Scottish edition of British daily The Sun, which he has said is biased toward Glasgow teams Celtic and Rangers.
The open letter was headed by a photograph of a chimpanzee wearing a Sun Sport T-shirt sitting at a computer and holding a pen, with the caption: "May God save Hearts and me from a bitter tongue and wicked pen."
