It's mind-boggling why they spin everything in such a negative way.

Fair play to them for getting almost an entire page out of one sentence.

It is amazing. Would it kill the local paper to write the story actually looking forward to good news like this? it took 10 seconds to change it around and left all the facts intact.

Aston Villa fan Prince William talks about the possibility of handing Aston Villa the FA Cup!

The FA Cup Final could be a very good day for Prince William.

The Duke Of Cambridge, Prince William has revealed that the FA Cup Final could be a really good day for him if Aston Villa win.

Not only will he be delighted as a supporter of Aston Villa, he may also present the trophy to Tim Sherwood's side.

Speaking at the National Football Centre today, the Duke who is president of the Football Association will have the responsibility of handing the trophy over to the winning team.

Speaking about the FA Cup Final he said: "It's either going to be a very good day for me, or a very bad day."

It is bizarre. Maybe Dave can give us some clues as to why our local paper wouldn't want to write something positive? Is there an unspoken rule that doom & gloom sells papers?

I fail to understand a problem here. Mail was there with the front page on "time to go Lambert" after Hull defeat. They gave us saturated coverage both before and after the cup final. Monday and Tuesday editions had 12 ps do pages pull outs. Can't fault them myself.

You don't have a problem with one of their writers saying how much he hates us or condoning football violence then?

Or this:

Well Barnes did make that comment and it's  being reported as it was and lot of people on here would agree that Benteke  should play in the Champion League in the near future and that's unlikely to be with us.

Not aware of aware of "hate" or "violence" comment so if correct than  that writer is a twat.

Well, we only did talk about it on here for a week so maybe you missed it.

And don't see anything wrong with them saying Benteke should be sold.

It was on the WM thread iirc. I wish one of us had quoted the whole article as it was an utter fucking disgrace by Howell. I quoted a few bits of I think but that's it.

Even Bill Howell disowned it, that's how bad it was!
