Baggie Bill been given the push from the Mail.

If true good. The 'send us the bill' article was probably the worst piece of sports journalism I've ever read.  Good riddance.

I don't like to see people lose their jobs but that article was atrocious. The Mail got showed up for the poor paper it is nowdays for allowing it to be posted. He'll probably end up on WM, he'd fit in well.

That article read like he'd written it while drunk at 4am.

Hopefully Gregg Evans can start covering them instead and they can employ someone whose interest in Aston Villa stretches beyond trolling the fans.

I wonder if that anti Villa piece and his general antagonism had anything to do with him getting the boot?

I imagine over there that piece and his general antagonism got him a promotion. It must be something else.

He was just a woeful writer as well. He spent too much time trying to be funny.

We could have a WM-style debate. Who was worse -  Howell or Tattum?

Tattum didn't spend years travelling the world covering a club he then said he hated.

Apologies for going off at a slight tangent, read the Sun on Sunday in a Sainsbury's cafeteria earlier. There's a guide to making a weekend of visiting every premiership ground. For some reason they don't mention Villa. The Baggies get a mention though, with a recommendation to stay at the Premier Inn.

Did it take long to write down the TV guide?

No, he spent his entire adult life following a club he claimed not to support at school.

What a pair, eh?
