Title: Bill Howell
Post by: LTA on December 13, 2014, 11:31:19 PM
I notice our old friend baggie Bill and Stan Collymore have been having a big dust up on Twitter tonight.  Accusing him of being obsessed with West Brom and for some reason dragging up his goal scoring record against them as evidence.

I'm not sure Baggie Bill is worthy of his own thread to be honest.

@StanCollymore If you give it out to classless #wba you gotta take it. Your attack on tweet v Man U was out of order

Have you filled Lepkowski's job @billhowell68 ? You haven't got little man syndrome like him have you? You may get the #WBA press job yet!

They are a massive club. They pulled 22K home fans for a local derby that was a 3pm Saturday KO. How can we hope to compete with that?

Yeah but they've beaten us 3 times in 30 years and finished above us twice in 35 years. Facts don't lie, they are the biggest in the Midlands. Biggest what is open to debate though.

No, he's a little man's Pat Murphy, and actually lives in one of Pat's massive eyebrows.

The moderator team might be well advised to wake the fuck up!

First time posters able to add links and images. The links are probably boobytrapped as well.

He's been covering Wolves last few years in the Mail but they've had a total shake up of staff recently so he's been covering us and WBA this season.

His match reports are total bonkers.

This kind of thing convinces me that Twitter is a very bad thing indeed and that I am right not to bother with it.

I just looked at his twitter account. What age is he? He looks like some spotty student on work experience. (Apologies to any forum members currently on work experience)

Easy pickings for spambots. Low lying fruit, as they say.
