Why are the Media so Anti-Villa?

[TimTheVillain]

It should read,


Oliver Charles Thomas Holt (born 22 May 1966 in Manchester) is an award-winning sports journalist who writes for the Daily Mirror newspaper in the United Kingdom. He is the son of Thomas Holt and actress Eileen Derbyshire and is an avid Stockport County supporter. He also has a massive crush on Martin O'Neill , hence the hatred towards the famous football club Aston Villa.

Ha ha

Oliver Holt, what a fuckwit.

Eleanor Oldroyd and David Pleat shitting all over the Villa now - playing interviews of Bruce and Holloway moaning, and being supportive of their comments; suggesting Villa aren't bigger than Sunderland, and Oldroyd even said Villa should pay more if the want Adam and have got the money.

This is Five Fucking Live!  The BBC!

[PeterWithe]

We have just smashed our transfer record, kept the money in the British game for a Britush player and yet we are seem to be the bad guys.

Fuck em all and man the barricades, its us against the world.

[Pete3206]

Just who the fuck is Eleanor Oldroyd?

As for Jason Cundy, his broadcasting repertoire is thus:
"I used to play for Chelsea"
"I know we're talking about The Championship tonight, but did I mention that I used to be at Chelsea"
"When I was at Chelsea.....(insert exaggerated diatribe here)"
"Chelsea's changed a lot since I was there"
"Next on Talksport, we're discussing Chelsea"
"Tonight, Spurs. Are they the new Chelsea? I used to play for Spurs you know, and Chelsea"

[lovejoy]

If 'onest 'arry was doing this deal the media would be all over it!

[KevinGage]

Chelsea were shit when Cundy was there and Tottenham were probably worse.

In bad teams, he looked particularly average.

[PeterWithe]

He also scord the jammiest goal ever seen, a sliding clearance in his own half that somehow ended up in Ipswich's net.

Jesus Christ! What is you want to read about the Bent deal?

You're like a parents at an Alabaman infant beauty pageant .

Listen, you're dead right to think that litlle Esmerelda's the sweeest girl there. But to the impartial eye, while she's got character and a great tale to tell, she looks a bit like Noddy Holder.

When you've finished, I'll have a blast on that bong.

Normally I'd think fuck 'em and not care. But this time they are being so blatantly hypocritical I reserve the right to get annoyed.

[pauliewalnuts]

This is weird.

First, we have Robbie Savage laying in, as expected.

Then we have a bit of sticking up for us from, of all people, James Nursey.

[Dave Cooper please]

I normally stick up a bit for the media, it's often "If they say good things about The Villa - great journalism, if they say bad things, biased twats, they all hate us"!

But the last couple of days have been surreal, not one single journalist or pundit seems to be able to say that we have done well here. Picked a target, offered his club a good price, got him, job done.
And not one journo has bothered to think that maybe we really are a better long term prospect for Darren Bent than Sunderland.

[eamonn]

Considering the amount of soundbites GHou gives them at press conferences compared to poker face Marty, I'm surprised they don't cut Houllier some slack rather than continue to eulogise O'Neill further.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The media are always going to put the boot in now that the Villa hating madman no longer manages us.

[damon loves JT]

The back page of the Mail today is astonishing. Only a matter of time before Houllier is linked to the murder of Jo Yeates and the resignation of Alan Johnson.
