This bloke is a right idiot!
Appears to refuse to do any research, is ill informed and has a warped hatred of Sven and Leicester.
So when the Mirror needed someone to provide an ubiased, true account of Saturday's game.....they turned to this dimwit.
I'd love to meet him.

Something is gnawing away at the man's shrivelled little soul. Is he a Forest fan, do you think? He's miserable and envious enough…
If he is indeed a man. By the sound of him he may be decomisssioned, had his clusters removed.
Here's my response to him:
Calvin you are an uneducated, moronic and ignorant excuse of a journalist and I, along with thousands of others, am absolutely disgusted that you are allowed to publish such a biased, scathing attack on our club. You are dispicable and should be sued for liable. How can you refer to someone as having a brain the size of a walnut and be deemed as a professional? You simply cannot. You are a disgrace.
I, along with every Leicester City fan, find you're unnecessary and inaccurate account of our fans, our football club, our owners and our management team extremely offensive.
You know very little about our club yet you cast aspersions on our owners, manager and fans for being ambitious. Your ignorance is intolerable.
We have not spent a lot of money, £10m on 10 players is hardly the "Man City of the Championship". Last season our back four was made up of loan players therefore we had to rebuild and we have done with quality, experienced players. You also have know idea what our players are getting paid, you can only speculate so unless you can back it up with facts, I suggest your comments remain within your peanut sized brain!!
What you have also conveniently failed to report is how much our owners have invested off the pitch, but then you wouldn't care about that because it doesn't justify the negative manner in which you wish to portray our club.
For the record, they have bought the hotel next to the ground, have also bought land adjacent to the ground and they intend to build an indoor arena to allow concerts, ice skating etc so that the club can earn revenue everyday not just on match days. They have re-vamped the club shop, erected huge screens inside the stadium, improved the training facilities and we now have arguably the best pitch in the country. They are not here to make a quick buck and their investment on and off the pitch has proven that.
How you can claim that our club is no longer friendly is quite frankly unbelievable. Our owners have made our club feel like a family. They have taken the time to meet supporters and during pre-season they went to every game and sat with the fans. They are extremely personable and know how to run a successful business whilst remaining level headed. Please name an owner of any other club that is willing to personalise themselves with the fans. The truth is you can't.
Aiyawatt Rakriaksorn, or Top as he is affectionately known, has also been a fan of Leicester City for several years since Steve Claridge "shinned" in the winner against Crystal Palace in 1996.
I think you'll find last season that Sven took us from the bottom of the league to within a whisker of the play-offs and that included a November trip to Barnsley where we won 2-0. Winter consisted of 20 games, 11 wins, 5 defeats and 4 draws and that was with a poor defence so he has already proven that he can handle the "urgency and physicality of the Championship".
"It looks like a team that is designed to get out of the division rather than one that will flourish in the Premier League". Once again you're ignorance is deplorable.
Sven has signed Premier League quality players with the likes of Pantsil, Konchesky, Mills, Fernandes, Johnson and Nugent and also added several younger players such as Schmeichel, Danns and Peltier who along with Andy King, all have their best years ahead of them and could all become established Premier League players. If, and when we get promoted, Sven, with the support of our owners, will then sign the calibre of player required to maintain our Premier League status.
"The old rascal might have lucked in, yet again". Sven is one of the most successful managers in the country, he has won 17 trophies in three countries and became the first manager to win the double in three different countries. He has won the UEFA Cup with IFK Gothenburg and guided Benfica to the European Cup and UEFA Cup finals. He also won the UEFA Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Super Cup with Lazio. That kind of record is not luck. He is a quality manager and any team would be lucky to have him.
If you had an ounce of integrity you would offer a written apology to everyone associated with Leicester City Football Club for your vicious attack on a club who are striving for a better future instead of languishing in the obscurity of the Championship for eternity. I don't know who you support but one thing I am certain of is you're not a "proper" fan of any team. You're completely clueless.
You also have know idea what our players are getting paid - ooops no idea
Apparently he's a Watford fan (FT poster says so), the sports editor is a West Ham fan.
Methinks this is how it slipped through the editorial net so easily.
It didn't take the football gods many hours to reward that sports editor for his spite, did it?
arrothefox,that was a great response to a quite disgusting attack on our football club and everyone who is connected to it,i can only add that that the man is completely and utterly ignorant to the facts and passion that we have and i hope the players all read the article and in fact i hope it is read to them before every game because i am sure they will want those words to come back and haunt the EVIL bas-tard
He's clearly not someone who lets too many facts get in the way of his prejudices. Lazy, incompetent, opinionated are just a few of the more printable things that spring to mind.
It's quite a job to single handedly drag the gutter press down into the sewer, but he's having a good go.
Here's a collection of this 'award-winning' journalists writings:
You decide:
http://www.lifesapitch.co.uk/author/mike-calvin/
So he's quite a celebrated journo by all accounts. Which makes that article on Sunday all the more mind boggling.
Apparently he's getting nothing but abuse from LCFC fans on his twitter account.
I somehow don't think that's going to change his vitriol for us.
The guy's a total end of bell.
Well Spherical if you poke a hornets nest (No pun on him being a Watford fan) with a stick, don't go crying when it stings you - What the hell did he expect to happen He is taunting football fans for Gods sake.
What sickens me more is the hypocrisy of the man, he uses the written word to pour scorn on the club, manager, players and supporters then bleats like a little girl when the written word is directed in a spiteful way back at him
I have simply sent him this as I am not a twitterer:
Mr Calvin,
You will have realised by now that you have upset a lot of decent people with your unwarranted attacks on Leicester City, our fans and respected manager. I won’t go into a detailed analysis; others have done that for me.
I would truly be interested in what makes you such a bitter individual, and why you have it in for our famous and beloved club. Journalists in general seem a pretty disreputable bunch, but what motivates you personally?
Maybe you are a lovely man at home, but do your family know what sort of reptile you really are?
From Mr Calvins biography "If you want to find out why Millwall and I were made for each other"........nah, you're allright. that sentence says it all
