Sunday Supplement Today

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Lets face it, your moms been around on Corrie for nearly as long as Ken bloody boring Barlow. Not that difficult  after all those years to know all the press boys round Mancland and get young Oliver on the ladder with a job at the local rag. Keep in with the editor, feeding a few titbits of corrie tittle tattle and complimentary tickets for the tour, so young Oliver get a few promotions.

Its not what you know its who you know, its jobs for the boys, its bloody nepotism.

Its like that bloody Chris Hollins, I bet with his Dad playing just down the road must have got to know plenty of people at the BBC and got his lad in there. Now he will probably finish up moving on from the BBC sport department and be the next bloody Jeremy Paxman.

Dan Snow, theres another one. Just because every election night it was deemed acceptable behaviour to have your Dad leaping around like a deranged lunatic waving his arms round like a bloody windmill  nearly knocking Robin Day unconscious, is no qualification for a regular slot on the One Show.

Mark my words, 30/40 years from now people will be fed their media tripe by the children of Beckham, Rooney etc. 

Up yours Holt !

Ha Ha, Brilliant!

It's funny because it's true Andy. Or maybe not!

[cheltenhamlion]

I giggled at that as well.

Here's a question; is our profile with the media, or lack thereof, damaging to the club?

It has to be. I was looking for our Europa League result on BBC World TV channel earlier, but they didn't seem to think we'd played. Instead, the news that Tottenham might - might - sign William Gallas was deemed more important. They went on to tell about Liverpool's and Man City's exploits in the competition, but they didn't mention us once - they didn't even flash the score up.

As far as the media is concerned, we really don't exist, and when we do exist, it's only because we play bigger, more newsworthy teams or have a manager with a reputation, who has deigned to join us. You watch, if Klinnsman comes here, we'll be back in the news again, and worth mentioning.  It can't do us much good as far as players are concerned.

Just about to start discussing Villa now!

[JJ-AV]

Apparently Randy wants to sell up.

This show used to be half decent a few years ago when Jimmy Hill was doing it. Shocking now.

[midnite]

So, according to the SS, there is no point in supporting villa. In fact there is no point in the club existing! Which i suppose is a good thing since randy now wants to sell up too.
I do wish these people would do their job and report rather than opt for 5 mins worth of fame, sitting around a table with the cameras on. These guys slam refs for wanting to hog the lime light and make decissions so they can get into the papers the following day. The sunday supplement people are just as bad!
So along with Spurs and everton who just pop around the 6th position and hope to get 4th every now and again, according the those dickwads, the premier league should just have Man U, Chelsea, arsenal and Liverpool.
Every other club just might as well not bother.
What complete rubbish!

[Chris Smith]

The suggestion that without significant investment we're unlikely to reach the champions league places is hardly the most outrageous of claims. I think talk of £100m is over the top but we clearly need to strengthen. They're also not the only people who think that the board might have reassessed their ambitions. From my own point of view I do have a few worries. That's not to say that I am 100% sure that things have changed just that I'm not 100% positive that they haven't.

We'll know soon enough with the type of appointment made and what the new man has to say about where he wants to take the club. I'm hoping that it's enough to prove that my own worries are unfounded.

[Risso]

Slightly ironic that journos are sat round discussing the pointlessness of modern Premier League football on a Sky programme.

[JJ-AV]

It really pisses me off they put a random figure on it like that.

Ah yes, £100million is needed isn't it? £100million is the exact amount of money we need to give us the extra 6 and 10 points we needed the last 2 seasons to finish 4th.

Only with £100million extra investment could we beat West Ham, Wolves and Wigan at home.

Randy might as well give up.

[Karl Bridges]

A word I discovered on these very pages nicely sums up those idiots COCKWOMBLES.

Why does it piss you off?

It's just a bunch of blokes giving their opinions, they might be right or they might be wrong but it's no different to the sort of stuff you see on here every day.

white flags at the ready. theres no point anymore!!
When are the chess championships on? That russian guy is amazing!

  I always get annoyed how the national football media start talking about Villa, and then start talking about other teams, this time Everton and Spuds.

  Do think they raised some relevant points about the attractiveness of the club, but overall thought they was overly negative.

  Does Randy want to leave?........up to him, if he does consolidate and move foward.

  You need £100m to get into the top 4?........not sure about that tbh.Milners money, plus another £10/15m, would make us a better team than last year, and we finished 6th last year.

  Should be happy with 6th?, therefore so should Spuds, Lplop, Everton as well.Should'nt happen, won't happen, thankfully.
