Why are the Media so Anti-Villa?

The bullshit, bollocks and badly researched ramblings of certain so called pundits and hacks really does boils my piss. Why is it that certain sections of the media show such utter contempt for our club?
What have we done so bad to be sneered at for spending £18 million on a player that is the third highest league scorer in the last three seasons?
We really do seem at odds with them..

It isn't just London-based outlets, f***ing WM were so sceptical it's unbelievable it claims to be THE station for the West Midlands. Certainly living in London, anything that occurs outside Zone 6 is equally treated with ignorance.
The Midlands, despite the world-renowned Selfridges Building and the Villa its still seen as unfashionable and drab. Doesn't help that our moronic neighbours do their best to drag the city's reputation further down. I fear if we win anything in the future it wouldn't improve our status.
We just have to put up with it as there is clearly an agenda, doesn't matter as it makes days like today the more satisfying.

Looking at this board over the last few months, a lot of our our supporters are far more anti-Villa than the media are. The media simply try to reflect what they feel the public feeling is.

It's obvious isn't it? We stopped pandering to their idol, the blessed Martin.

I'm long past caring about what the media think about us, but I did notice that the story didn't make Channel 4 news , where as if it had been Liverpool who had just signed the third highest goalscorer in the country or Alan shearer had just had a shit, they'd be all over it.
Although saying that I did take a piss during the news so I could have missed it.

It's because they are jealous of us. They don't know how to take us. Proud history and all that.
We are just too superior.

Agreed! It's like on Sunday in blues game when commentator said 'if offered 17th now, I'm sure Villa would take it'. I nearly choked when I heard that. They really do think we're no better than likes of fulham and Sunderland. Amazing how quickly they forget we have been sniffing around 4th for last couple of yrs!
Can't wait for Saturday anyway!

I have to the say the "he's only going there for the money" line from some pundits is pissing me off.
It may, for all I know, be true, but it is not as if they'll trot that out the next time Citeh spend well over the odds.

The fans of the majority of clubs probably feel hard done by. You dont hear many supporters turning round saying they feel they get better coverage from the media than they deserve.
In fact I prefer it this way. I wouldnt like us to be spoken about in the national media in the sickening pathetic simpering love in way that they talk about the Chelseas and Spurs of this world.
Just use the whole plethora of information out there in this electronic instant digital technological world in a sensible selective manner to keep yourself abreast of events relating to the greatest football club in the world.
Thats means limited use of national outlets, greater but selective use of local media outlets and official club outlets. And of course large continual use of this site with its universally acclaimed group of commentators offering measured informed sensible analysis and opinion.
