Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[tomd2103]

Christ all of the victim mentality stuff gets a bit much sometimes doesn't it?

I don't get all of the hatred towards Gregg Evans. Especially on delph where events seem to be demonstrating that he was well informed

We generally get rubbished or ignored by the national media, so would it be too much to expect the local media to be somewhat supportive?  There is a clear difference in the way they cover Villa in comparison to Albion and Blues

Did the Echo do a story about how well Sterling would fit in at the Etihad? Did they run regular interviews with ex-City players saying he should move? That's not victim mentality, it's wanting to know why our local media are so negative.

The shitty Mail tweeting a "story" about that obnoxious twat Rodney Marsh taunting Villa fans.
You're supposed to back your local clubs not take the piss out of them. No wonder your newspaper is dying on its feet.

Hope the Mail goes out of business, it would only be fitting.

The only thing I'm surprised about is my lack of surprise.

"If a table wiper in McDonalds suddenly gets the chance to run the restaurant, they aren't going to turn it down - even if they have a profound love of cleaning tables".

The bloke is a condescending tosser.

Gregg Evans is a total fuckwit

And I kid you not a smethwick fan.

WHAT happened to Mat K ? He tweeted me that his role has changed ... he's covering Midlands football I see, with no specific club in his remit.

Maybe he's Greg Evans' boss ??

I wouldn't be surprised if the mail printed of picture of Delph in a Man City shirt with LOL underneath it. Shit rag.

[phantom limb]

I won't even go on their website any more, they just seem to revel in negativity.

[Legion]

Same here. Removed from my FB feed aswell.

[The Man With A Stick]

Boycott the website, don't give them any clicks.  It's not as if their shitty rag is full of world exclusives.

[old man villa fan]

The b****** son of the Mirror.

Some websites covering football these days are slow to load with all the ads but the Mail is up there with the worst.

Yeah, this article is ridiculous - the only bit I agree with is that he did give his best on the pitch when he was here. The McDonald's analogy is just terrible journalism and utterly inaccurate and irrelevant. Nobody enjoys cleaning tables for a living, by the way.

Surely the analogy is with a senior employee at one of the top 20 restaurants in the country who is then offered a part time job at one of the most expensive 4 restaurants in the country and takes that job after twice loudly and publicly proclaiming he is not leaving.
