Radio WM

[Villa in Denmark]

That's interesting if it was.  I like Liam, he's quite reasonable on here but when you read some of his posts over on their forum about the Villa his ingrained hatred of all things Claret and Blue really comes out.

I've pissed myself this week reading www.westbrom.com  Also they've hardly any posters.  Their World Cup Cricket thread for example is 1 page long while their post match thread is 9 about pages - can you imagine the length of ours in similar circumstances.  It would appear being a ''little club'' also extends to online forums too.

 

Just had a look.
I particularly like this one on the Tony Pulis thread

Still have nightmares about the Brendon Batson back pass. We do seem to exist only to be a charity for Aston Villa.

Genuine question as I haven't listened to local radio for donkey's years - WM is embarrassingly poor for a BBC station and I can't stand listening to commercial radio a s I get ad rage - but is Tom Ross still active, and on which station? For a nose I always found him ok and someone who had a real passion for the game who you felt did it for the love of it.

Tom "They break yer bleedin' 'art" Ross

I used to love the callers who rang his show and before he had chance to cut them off would spout a load of expletives. It enraged him.

It drrrrrrrrives yer barmy!

Also, his constant wittering on about any club from south of Watford being "big-time Charlies".

Local radio is dreadful.

All traffic reports, unfunny male-female breakfast show pairings who think they're hilarious, dreadful sport coverage, phone-in competitions every three minutes and presenters who make you embarrassed of where you come from.

It is basically like a locally targeted, looped, sound-only version of The One Show, all insipid rubbish, badly delivered by simpering cretins.

It all sounds suspiciously like it is aimed at the dimmest members of society. WM is bad, but it's really not as if the commercial alternatives are any better.

When i attain a Putin-like grip on the running of this country, one of the first things I will do is abolish it. I'll institute a radio channel that only delivers traffic reports (like that one for French motorways), and the likes of Paul "Call Me Franksy" Franks will find themselves up in front of a peoples' court on charges of being massive, massive bell ends.

You cant say things like that, I'll get Ed Doolan on you,

Tom would always fall for the same trick if Blues got relegated, failed to make the play offs or lost in the play offs.

They'd be a line of Noses ringing up to describe their broken hearts, probably the only time they didn't talk about Villa in their lives and then someone would ring up (normally 6th or 7th caller) and ask Tom how He (Tom) was feeling.

Tom would elucidate that he, like other Noses, was feeling the pain and drone on for a minute or so before said caller would laugh and shout some pro Villa comments at him. Very childish but quite amusing.

In answer to your question - yes, Tom is still on - he's on Free Radio 80's Birmingham - on DAB or MW 1152.   I'm not sure if he's on FM sometimes too.    He does a good phone in show on a Monday night between 6 and 7 and has Ian Taylor on with him - yes for a Blooser, he is OK I think

PS I'm not really a "Newbie" as it says - I joined years ago - just rarely post!

Not WM, but the Midlands Today bulletin at 10.30 carried an interview with the country's most senior football police officer. The Beeb claim that he warned the club about a derby with a Saturday evening kick off. So we have control over kick off times in a round when all four ties are televised live then.

The BBC gets more sensationalist by the week, or is Franksy now in charge of Midlands Today?

I was driving back down (from a meeting on the industrial estate behind the Hawthorns!) and heard that too. He was pretty emphatic in his comments that it was in no way a return to the dark ages.

Thanks, glad he's still working in the game. Decent bloke and good luck to him.

Does anyone remember the classic post play off defeat phone in when a young Villa supporting kid, under the age of 10 by the sound of his voice, played 'The laughing policeman' down the phone to Tom?

I'm not one who likes to gloat, it has a very nasty habit of coming back and biting you on the arse, but, I would have loved to have heard that.  I'm laughing just thinking about it.

I have just perused their excuse for a forum.

After a crap day at work, there is living proof that cousins really should not marry!!

Cheer yourself up and have a look. It's hilarious.

Hot topics like who do you hate more Wolves or Villa

Six fingered fuckwits. Surely that twat Franksy has something to do with it.
