Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[tomd2103]

They do this kind of hatchet job on Villa but where was/is their questioning of the issues involved in the ownership of the lot in Bordesley Green?

Or articles about why Berahino would be better off at Spurs when that move was on the cards.

I see keowngoal has had another pop at Villa fans calling us "a hard audience" We've put up with sh-t for 5 years and he calls us a hard audience when we've been patient for most of that time. Another pundit totally detached from what's happening in football and with an axe to grind because we called him out on his disloyalty when he wore our colours. His beloved arsenal fans are a hard audience who whinge at the slightest thing and regularly walk out after 60 minutes if things aren't going their way, stating "we need to catch the tube" as an excuse. Think before you speak dumbass ke-own-goal!!!

One good thing that might come out of all this shit heaped upon us is a siege mentality. We have to unite under something, as a reaction to something, and this might be it.

Well penned

Keown usually speaks well about Villa and I've heard him say he still has a soft spot for the club. You're right about the rest though - anyone who criticises the fans should have a taste of what we've had to put up with since 2010. They'd soon change their tune.

Point per game the poorest record in professional English football the last 5 years. Hard audience my arse. We're just sick of having the piss taken.

Richards says the emergence of our academy players gives him hope for the future? What emergence?

I have never heard him say anything positive about Villa

Another positive article.

However won't we be getting money from this years season in the PL or have we already received that?

Not many people have said anything positive about us for years and you can't blame them for that.

We'll get around £66m in prize money. But that's obviously our main income stream, and what covers the existing wage bill.

Let's hope we can get some of the useless high earners gone too. Richards and Zog must be on 60k, Richardson possibly 30k, Agbonlahor 50k. There's 200k a week straight away.

Quality journalism again. Would any other regional paper print this?

Well, the reporter was aptly named.
