Paul Franks 'Are Villa the dullest team in the Premier League' what a wanker.

Can anyone argue against it ?

On a par with Sunderland by the looks of it.

Has there ever been a more immobile front 3 to chose from - Wickham, Fletcher and Altidore?

If you take out Altidore and put in Johnson that forward line actually cost over 25m, two MON purchases there of course.

We probably know the answer - as is often said on here, there can't be another local radio station in the country as critical of their biggest club as WM are.   A loaded question such as "Are Villa the dullest team in the Premier League?" encourages a dozen "yes" replies and no further thinking required. "Villa are sound defensively, how can they improve their goalscoring?" might actually lead to some rational debate.

Absolutely agree with this, and have said the same myself a few times.

it is mind boggling, the relationship between them and their biggest club.

Maybe it is just them desperately seeking some sort of "let's be controversial, like TalkSport" route towards generating interest in their awful output.

Every thread on here is full of people complaining about how dull we are. And we must be one of the dullest sides in the league - along with sunderland I'd say.

So I don't see why people get so antagonised by the media making the same claim

Half the league are terrible to watch.

West Brom are dull as dishwater to watch but because they're inept at defending you get games like QPR 3-2 WBA which makes them "exciting." You won't get Paul Franks stating that though.

If we were halfway as competent going forwards as we are at the back, then we'd be fifth or something daft. When a team as poor as Spurs can spawn their way to the top half, it beggars belief at how poor the league is.

I haven't listened to WM on match day for probably 25 years.  Do they still play that horn sound and 'It's a goal!' before, you guessed it, a goal?

To be fair, there are few other areas in the country where the leading club is run in such as half-arsed and amateurish way. We have an absentee owner, a CEO who clearly believes in fairy tales and an appalling manager who seems unsackable.   The fact that - even after 4 seasons of dross - we are still the leading club on WM's patch shows how inept all of our clubs have become in recent seasons

A CEO who clearly believes in fairy tales? Would you care to elaborate?
