Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[ColinMac]

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.

They did.

Probably help if I read said article next time.

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.

Maybe. Or maybe some of their writers are fans of our rivals and are allowed to write any anti Villa shite they like. Remember Baggie Bill?

Today's headline

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

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

Who did you fling your glass of home-made apple juice over?

[DaveD]

Does this not show our club is fucked from the ground up, if our failed former youngsters are behaving this way ?

Sorry. Quote fail there

So it's not their own personal responsibility or their current employers responsibility or even their parents failings or their agents failings to surround them with people who are good for them. It's ours because these talentless berks once tried and failed to make it at our club.

No.

The Mail's 'How Real Albion Fans behave' article has to be read to be believed.

You mean things like this.....

" West Brom were the best supported Premier League club last season based on the population of their local town compared to the average attendance.
If all of the 25,801 people that come through the turnstiles every match were from West Bromwich, a third of the town would be empty.
The town's population of 75,405 makes West Brom the best supported team per capita...."

I call bullshit, we're called ASTON villa and if all of the 35000+ fans we get most games were from Aston there's be no one left in the area and we'd have 8000+ people who happened to be passing through at the time and got dragged inside.

What an excellent point.

Part of me feels sad when newspapers fold, but there's also a recognition that values change over the years and the increased effects of a more digitalised society come into play.

What? Newspapers fold do they?
Whatever next.

Chelsea's nickname isn't Swans - they're an art-rock band.
