Why are the Media so Anti-Villa?

[Sexual Ealing]

The one thing that has struck me over the past couple of weeks is not some sort of bias against Villa, more the incredulity from many quarters that if Villa had all this money to spend, why didn't they give it to Martin O'Neill?

Meanwhile hardly a single one of them has bothered to think of a reason for themselves, one of the obvius ones being that if Bent was bought using the Milner cash then O'Neill didn't get the money because he fucked off before Milner did!

An excellent point.

[Chris Smith]

Monty, I'll by crystal clear I think you're wrong. I think you're mistaking opinion and superficial analysis for something wider. I don't believe there is any sort of agenda. We've been mostly shit this season so stories will be mostly negative, we've got what we deserved, if we improve we'll get more positive.

[Monty]

No Chris, saying we're a bad team because we're losing games is one thing, reacting to two teams doing similar things completely differently based on which one has more fans and will therefore sell more papers with positivity is another. There's no agenda against us, but if the media don't have a very good reason to be positive then they'll be negative, because that's just the way they operate.

[Chris Smith]

We're not going to agree on this so let's leave it there shall we? Otherwise we're just going to go round in ever decreasing circles.

[Monty]

Indeed, and if we're not careful VD will come in with a pie chart 'proving' one side or the other, and nobody wants that.

No don't stop. I'm hoping one of you will post that league table of net spend and turnover. Or a picture of some old men sucking each other off

[Monty]

The reaction to Carroll's Liverpool move will be interesting.

[KevinGage]

No don't stop. I'm hoping one of you will post that league table of net spend and turnover. Or a picture of some old men sucking each other off

Sir Alex and Holloway after the Blackpool - Man U game last week. That picture has started to circulate then.

Holt really is a wriggly little maggot isn't he? The press don't really give two shits about whether a player was tapped up. They're just miffed that it wasn't them who broke the news to the player in the first place. How many months has Ashley Young's name been in the papers before those wretched Kleenex-addicts tabled a paltry bid? Fucking scrote chompers.

He must have been bullied by a Villa fan at school

I did, quite unbelievable underrating of Villa by them, but then, McManaman is a red scouse. By their comments, I easily could've thought that ManUtd is playing against championship-side.

[Chris Smith]

Any anti Villa bias in the media pales in significance comapred to some of ths shite our own fand have come out with recently.
