The Mail is nothing more than a trashy sensationalist tabloid these days. It is a poor regional paper with an agenda influenced by Manchester or London as it's connected to the mirror. I haven't bought it for years and overlook its clickbaits. Could anyone imagine l'pool, manchester or london having such poor representation of its local teams, particularly one that has brought so much to the city of B'ham by way of winning the european cup etc? It has no respect and deserves little in return!

Spot on. I won't click on any of their articles and the attitude they have towards the club doesn't make me angry in the slightest, it's just boring. It's not even just the football articles, it's a shame that such a large city has such a poor local newspaper.

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

Sad; very, very sad.

Backhanded compliments are always the most sincere.
Sad, sad bastards.

Had a look on the Mail website today, clicked on an article about Agbonlahor which then lead to a 'look what he missed on Saturday' montage of photos. Every single photo was taken at Old Trafford apart from the first photo which was obviously taken at the Sty as it was a flag with SOTV and mention of a relegation party. What a terrible paper.

They're a bag of shit.

Any serious newspaper would be going to town on Lerner right now, trying to dig in to what's going on, putting any pressure they possibly can on him. The same as when the rags were getting shafted by the Hairdresser, where were the articles on him then? Where was the reporting of what was going on behind the scenes, muck raking? Nothing, instead they had some dozy, boot licker cosying up and pretending everything was fine.

The papers as shit as we are at football.

I don't know what's saddest - Small Heath's obsession or the Mail's desparation.

When we rise from the ashes of the current mess (we're the Villa, we always do) and all these shitty rags like the Mail, and the two-bob media outlets like WM want to jump on the Villa bandwagon, I sincerely hope we tell them to go FUCK THEMSELVES WITH A TRAFFIC CONE.

I dont blame Blues fans. Thats about as witty as they can get and this is the only good news they have had in years so fair enough.

The Mail however is just sad.

My God, how low can that 2-bob organ of pig-ignorance & our no-mark, vermin-ridden 'neighbours' go?

Absolutely pitiful.
