Radio WM

[RamboandBruno]

Everyone deserves a chance especially the youth of today, but the footie phone in is more painful than ever now, I’ve only tuned in about twice since the season started. Although it is quite funny hearing the thinly disguised disdain in the voices of old hacks like Rob Gurney, having to engage with this yoof Henry or whatever his name is.

Regan will be a loss, particularly for us. While Gurney and Wilford don't follow Villa, they are actually good broadcasters, particularly the latter and I would have no problem with either calling one of our games. I don't want cheerleaders covering our games, I want to know the facts. Regan and Thompson were great at this.

My fear is that local coverage will disappear altogether, as bad as some of it is it provides balance to the national media's obsession with a handful of sides.

Reagan's respectful but at times tough questioning of Dean (and Bruce before him) post-match reminded me of Pat Murphy's approach. It's really welcome when we've had a bad result. I want explanations from the manager, not cliché answers to clichéd questions. Unlike the shite of spoon-fed questions from Sky/MoTD etc. who rarely interrogate.

Mike Taylor is the best commentator on WM imo, does Wolves although Gurney's been covering them last few weeks so may be shielding.

Blose fans having a proper meltdown on WM tonight! They are furious with the board headed up by Dong, or should it 'dung'? Excellent entertainment listening to them already resigned to League One!

I'm no great fan of WM but Daz Hale is a good presenter. It's improved immeasurably since CallMeFranksy and Reego's double act.

[London Villan]

Havent listened for 12 months, has Callme gone?

[amfy]

Whisper it quietly but it’s loads better recently! That young Liverpool fan is alright at presenting too. They let the callers talk, they pull them up for talking about other teams more than their own. It’s been quite listenable!

One win in twelve and two points from a possible thirty three at home. I also believe they don't like the owners or the manager. But on a more positive note a few of them seem to think Paul Cook is the man to turn them around.

Daz Hale is an enthusiastic amateur.Suited for hospital radio.

But two points from thirty three at home isn't their fault. Lockdown has affected them more than others as they're used to a packed to the rafters St Andrex roaring them to victory.

Garry Thompson's just released his autobiography so will be some decent content in there like...

[dcdavecollett]

Could anyone please remind me which thread the recent Tony Butler broadcast was on?

[exiled on the wirral!]

Who does the Villa commentary now that Regan has gone?

They share it out between the rest of them from what I can tell.  You can almost hear the pain in Richard Wilford's voice when he has to say anything positive or complimentary about us.
