Help! Paul Franks is doing my head in already!! ::)

Shall I grit my teeth and wait till the Dean Smith's interview or not?

Some Nose moaning how fickle we all are and reckoning they'll finish above us...

Tonight:

‘Can wolves finish in the top 4?’
‘Is the top two beyond Villa’s reach?’

First Blues caller wanted to talk about us for about 50 percent of the time and talked about how fickle we are.  Then Mr Franks pulled him up about the stick Juke has been getting until he scored a hat trick.  No reply.

Ben called about a march that took place in London attaching itself to football supporters.  Then a wolves fan phoned confirming he was there and criticised ‘the anti fascist brigade’ for demonstrating against them.  Don’t know where to start with that one.

There were virtually no positives about the press conference.

Franks should've pushed on him what the FLA stood against. The doghead ummed and aahed, skirting around the islamic elephant in the room. That, or he genuinely didn't actually know why he was there - which was possible too.
I wonder if those EDL/Britain First woolly hats and polo shirts are made in Bangladesh. How ironic.

The phone in was much better balanced last week when Franks was off .....its time to stop wasting the license fees money and put him out to grass
The other reporters who follow the Midlands teams offer much more constructive comments than he does

I'm not sure who was manning the phones at WM but the subject of the FLA should have been vetoed immediately, it's a sports phone in and introducing politics can cause all sorts of problems. God alone knows what some of the bozo's that call in would say if you let them.

I agree. It's why I didn't mind Tom Ross. He threw in a bit of banter now and again but overall he was fair and balanced.

67 actually, "son" - as he told Gary Monk last Friday.
Followed by Polly and then Ken. They were certainly all out that night. Cringeworthy calls every one of em.

Polly turns up on random morning Wm phone ins.
She is such a massive blue nose that before a match she goes in the pub where all the lads know her and make way for her.She then orders her food and when it's ready one of the lads brings it over to her.
She wrote to Theresa May telling her she was doing a tremendous job and to take no notice of all the nasty naysayers.The Downing st reply is framed on her tv set
She also told Danny Kelly to "Get Lost".
She's 88.

She's 88? Jeez that's a long time to carry around the simmering hatred and envy she has towards the voyul. Must be the only thing keeping her going.
