Considering how little people seem to think of them and how angry it appears to make them, it's a little odd that they don't just choose a different radio station to listen to.
True, but it's a station that is basically all about football and it draws football fans in.
I don't listen to any of them anymore. I know how shit Villa are and I'm not gonna listen to some radio station like Talkshit and WM take the piss out of us.
I listen to Collymore but he never lets you get a word in. Hardly a chat show. I suppose Franksy is as bad.
For those who have forgotten about Collymore's ' contribution' to the cause under Little & Gregory, I suggest you read this damning indictment from JG :
Gregory blasts departing Collymore ( 1999)
John Gregory has warned Stan Collymore his career will be over if he fails to earn a transfer to Fulham during a three-month loan at Craven Cottage which began yesterday.
The Aston Villa manager made it clear he would not play Collymore if he returns and ushered him off, not so much with a wave as a rocket.
"Collymore has got to succeed at Fulham because he has nowhere else to run," Gregory said. "This could be the last opportunity for him and I have told him that. I would not think there was a chance of my taking him back and letting him play for Villa again.
"I suppose in a way he cannot lose because if he falls flat on his face he can come back here knowing he still has 21 months left on his contract."
That contract is worth £20,000 a week and Gregory is desperate to offload the club's record signing, whose seven Premiership goals have cost £1m each since he joined from Liverpool two seasons ago. Of the seven goals he scored in all competitions last season, three came against the Norwegian part-timers Stromsgodset and two were against Hull City.
"He had plenty of opportunity here," Gregory said. "I'm the third or fourth manager he's had in the last four years and we've all ended up pulling our hair out. He returned for pre-season training with the promises I had heard before.
"There were promises made to my predecessor Brian Little, to the Villa board and to the supporters. But they never materialised. If this move to Fulham doesn't happen I suppose he will have to come back here but, as far as I'm concerned, his career will be finished... As a manager you can only do so much for a player; you cannot wet-nurse him"
