Quality thread, love most the posts, particularly the one referring to wm as MF. yeah I have been coming to that conclusion about franksie being a tool for a while now.General opinion about Villa is good start, room for improvement, but going in the right direction. All that said I still am aiming for just above a half way finish this season. that wanker franksie starts trying to up the anti by getting "fans" to predict top 6 top 4; for what reason so as when we aint up there he can crank up the anti Villa bolox . just to give a bit of balance here I think tom toss is a c*** as well, bluenose shit hates us, imho. I couldn't stand his snide remarks of anything Villa.How can this city have two local radio stations and have wankers as their football correspondents, THIS IS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD

Some of them listen to him with religious reverence.Is he still alive then?Doolan has made a career out of having a list of tradesmens phone numbers which he gives out to old age pensioners who dont have the internet or have lost their yellow pages. In addition he has a list of phone numbers for various local council departments which he can palm people off with when they have problems. If he does want to talk to someone in a bit of authority to sort out a listeners problem, his reserachers do all the spade work then he comes in at the last second to take all the glory.I'm not as young or as tolerant as I was but I still view him as a real grumpy old sod, someone who could blow his top at any second with a caller that upsets him if they say the wrong thing in the world according to Doolan.Worst of all he appears to have no real interest in football. I have heard him with Doug on his show a couple of times, and it was Doolan coming out with all the crap !Its like listening to Tony Butler in a world where football was never invented.

In here as similarly linked, but is there any reason that Midlands Today doesn't show football results/ goals anymore? I fell asleep last night and missed the goals so taped Midlands today to view them. Nothing was on about last night, not even a sheet of results from what I could tell on a middling speed fast forward. Luckily I taped Central news as well so did see them.
I don't subscribe to the idea that any media organisation should "back us", that's the job of the in-house organisation. Local media should slant their coverage towards their local clubs.If WM do go over the top it is probably aimed at creating debate and feedback that, as many radio stations have found out, has gone through the floor with the advent of the internet and sites such as this.Local media may not be to your taste, but they are the only organisations who treat Villa as something more than just cannon fodder for Sky's current favourites.

Hung around in the canteen at work for nearly half an hour, risking the wrath of gaffers, to see the goals again, to no avail. Must be a BBC midlands conspiracy. They'd have showed if we'd lost that's for sure. The Brummagem news in general has gone to shit lately. Almost every night it begins with a story of some hospital or other fucking up and I am bored shitless with it.

It's almost like there's an agenda to get as many bad news stories about the NHS in as possible, so when the day comes to hand it over to privateers, we'll all be grateful.
