I eventually got so fucked off with radio coverage that I mostly follow the match on Twitter. The highlights pop up straight away via Vine so I don't feel I'm missing out. I was sick of the stick Villa took by people who are supposed to big us up, and most of the time our coverage wasn't on anyway. They can fill three digital stations with the Noses versus Northern Afterthought FC but the top Midlands club against a Champions League side? Get on crackly AM and be glad you're getting that.

Apart from AVTV, which media organisation is duty bound to "big us up"?

Now, we know that WM and the Mail have been particularly negative of late, as has been detailed on here extensively but surely the media should be giving a balanced view?

Praise where it's due and criticism where it is valid. This, of course has been skewed by the fact that we have have deserved most of the latter for the last 4 years or so.

I like to hear balanced reporting when it comes to Villa, whith a slant towards us from the local media, anything else is just bias against us or unnecessary cheerleading.
