Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[AV82EC]

This weeks entry for the Mails 'A new journalistic low' award. Any Villa fan buying this bilge wants his head examined.

Whilst I'd agree they do seem to do anything to throw shit at the club I was slightly alarmed that what they did uncover does show a certain element of our support who seem to be a bunch of brain dead racist morons. And whilst this doesn't apply to the vast majority of our support something we should keep an eye on. Id hate to become associated with vile scum like EDL, BNP etc like some other clubs.

This I am afraid is normal stuff that some people have to endure whenever gangs of football fans are about mostly drunk but not always.

Some people have to endure when some small gangs are about, whether football fans or not. Let's not generalise or over-exaggerate.

I take it this is the Micky Quinn "story"? This came up on my Facebook feed. I didn't click on the link, as I try to never knowingly read / listen to a word the fat twat has got to say.

British Transport Police figures, acquired through the Freedom of Information act, reveal Villa fans have been involved in the highest number of incidents this season.

It looks like we are having a bad season all round. It must be the frustration of watching us play this season.

Correct.  I guess he's still got his head in his arse about us sending Coventry down.

They covered the Trust yesterday at least in the continuing battle for the Norwich money to be used to subsidise fans. Every away could be all but free if they do it next season in Division 2....

Decent article in the Evening Mail today comparing this season with the '86-'87 campaign.  Mat Kendrick seems to have made a welcome return over the past couple of weeks.

Greg Evans is on holiday - unfortunately not gardening leave.

I wouldn't want to advocate anyone losing their job (even Gregg Evans!), but having Mat Kendrick writing about Villa makes it somewhat readable!

Not sure about a few things in that. 

McLeish for all his faults did seem to see managing the Villa as a privilege.

As you probably would, if you had come from that lot down the road.  But he did manage Rangers and his national side too, so he's had more reason than many of the sugarbags we've had in the hotseat to give it the Billy Big Bollocks. Yet he rarely did.

 I think fairly recently he's on record as saying the Villa job was the right club at the wrong time.

As for the foreign players jibe, that is an easy line.

Good, honest In ger land players have bailed on us first chance they have got in recent seasons.

You said everything I wanted to say but better.

I would add that even the genuinely decent bloke ,Kendrick cant seem to save the Mail's coverage of our club from being poor to awful. Sad, it really is.

I couldn't look past that big fat face glaring out. He looks like the love child of Harry Redknapp and Mr Potato head.
