This isn't the Mail but our ever supportive mate at The Mirror James Nursey. What on earth is the point of this story other than to stir shit?

Kevin MacDonald "demoted" apparently

Looks like another new recruit's passed the initiation ceremony. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/comment-aston-villa-grossly-unprepared-9721124

Quote
In Villa’s first six league matches they face Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland and Leicester - a run of games that can dictate a season.

A strong performance can leave Aston Villa in position to challenge in the top half. Perform below par and they’ll be in the struggling pack with only higher quality teams to play.

Apparently after our first six games we will have "only higher quality teams to play".

Somebody needs to brush up on how a league works.

James Nursey demoted himself when he started writing for the Mirror.

And so far, cuddly albion have brought a winger who's created more of a fuss off the pitch than on it. Still, i'm sure they'll get round to them eventually.

I seriously think we should ban quoting articles from that rag.

Not only is it a horrendous mess of ad traffic, just clicking on it feeds them the oxygen to pump out this relentless shite.

If I ever get desperate for a job, I might apply for a columnist role at the Mail. Looks like money for old rope.

I doubt there's much money in it, hence the quality of the people they can afford to employ.

Is that MacDonald article even factually correct?
Didn't he leave after Houllier was appointed rather than under Lambert as they say?

His original 17-year association with Villa ended in the early days of Paul Lambert’s reign in June 2012.

Noticed the Mail's front page at the station this morning :

"Why I wouldn't trust Adebayor" - Andy Gray

I know we could discuss the merits of this signing all day long, but could you honestly see the Mail greeting a new signing by one of our neighbours with such negativity?

"Is This Departed XI Better Than The Current Villa Starting Line-Up?" Apart from Delph and Benteke NO! Even with them two I wouldn't fancy a back four of Luna, Cripple Ron, Lowton and Stevens.

Anything positive from these wankers whilst we're smashing the transfer market?
