A bitter and provocative piece of crap from Howell, but I think the straw that broke the camel's back was when he said "count up the broken seats and fire extinguishers and bill us for them". What a bloody disgrace. Let's count up the split open heads in the lower North and the amount of stitches needed to stop the bleeding as well.
Perhaps he's already requested the bill from the NHS.

And the hospitalised catering staff.

Regarding the Bill Howell story in Mail please see below the response that I received from them:

Thank you for your email regarding the West Bromwich Albion comment article.

It is our job to provide provocative and engaging content for our audience and sometimes this means expressing views that not everyone will agree with.

On reflection, this particular article failed to express the real views of the author in an appropriate manner and we made the decision to take it down from our website this morning.

I hope this resolves your complaint.

If not, please visit http://www.trinitymirror.com/howtocomplain where you will find information on how to follow our complaints procedure.

If only the BBC had that kind of professionalism when dealing with substandard work by their employees....

So exactly whose views were the article expressing?

Quite. Isn't the problem the fact that it very much does express his real views?

I'm happy to tell everyone that my two best mates even now are a Baggie and a Bluenose.

My Dad is a nose. He's a season ticket holder there.

He has been to loads of Villa matches with me. Probably 50 or 60 I reckon. He was the first person to start taking me to Villa Park regularly when I first expressed an interest in about 1975.

Sometimes he asks me to go to St Andrews. I always refuse, mind.

I thought a journalists job is to report the truth? When did it become their aim to report ''provocative'' content? Isn't that just trolling?

Perhaps UK Redsox is now starting to get a feel for why we call them bitter now.

And they're still going on about the crowd and the injustice of yacobs sending off and how we had the rub of the green.  Four days after the game finished.

And still two and half shows in no congratulations from the station presenter on our passage through to a major cup semi final.

Exactly. One of our local clubs has reached the FA Cup semi final and our local BBC station doesn't seem to be too pleased about it. In years past they'd be shouting from the roof tops about it.

A chuckle from Call Me Wanksy as a wolves fan says he doesn't mind Albion but hates the villa.

They seem more interested in the Saddlers Wembley trip than ours.

It's no wonder there listening figures are at such a low when they appeal mainly to the minority support like Baggies and Walsall and rip the shit out of the areas giant.

Will they bother sending a reporter to the semi final?
