Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[Clampy]

I'm sure they'll get round to doing a piece on what class fans we have. Have we ever worn Ginger wigs?

[tomd2103]

Not to mention things like "Albion fans are well-known for wearing masks and wigs".

Another thing I've noticed recently as well, is that they have started spouting a myth about how good the atmosphere is at the Hawthorns.  One Albion fan I was speaking to recently (who doesn't go very often if at all) took his Man City 'supporting' son (i.e. he likes to be them on FIFA) to our cup game against them recently and was saying what a poor atmosphere it was at Villa Park.  He then went on to say how good atmosphere it was at the Hawthorns and was one of the best in the country.  I've heard that a few times now and that Albion supporter on Talksport (Nigel Pearson?) even said it on air.  Where on earth have they got that from?

"Ex Aston Villa player URINATES in pint glass at Cheltenham festival."

This is regarding Samir Carruthers of MK Dons. There's no doubt they have an anti Villa agenda.

When did he leave? I'd forgotten all about him.

Paul Lambert told us he had a terrible attitude.
So he got something right.

I can't imagine any other local paper doing this to their biggest club, and any other club letting them.

They've always been sore since Lerner and Co. decided not to deal with the press. The club st out it's stall and it just gave these idiots carte blache to write whatever balls they wanted to.

Surprised they didnt pick up on the fact that one of the other players involved in this was "ex Villa" now Northampton Towns James Collins (not the Welsh ginger one), he sounds like a lovely bloke, he was in the car with Barry Bannan when he crashed it on M1 whilst pissed up, they both did a runner from the scene.

Did they come up with the bollocks around selling the naming rights to the ground?

I have been fortunate to live in  Cities and Towns in many and far flung parts of this World but is shames me to say ( as a Brummie) that the Birmingham Mail is one of the worst local Newspapers I have ever read, by a country mile. Piss poor writing ,factual fuck ups and a truly myopic Journalism...... but then, it is  part of the ' Mirror' group , nuff said!.....Godzvilla!

Non-story, we've all done this haven't we?? I'm just glad that Steve Harrison wasn't invited to Cheltenham

[class-of-82]

Used to buy the mail when I came up for the games but the anti villa shite in there is beyond belief.
There's no crap about the villa in the Chelmsford chronicle
