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.

Succinct summation there.

Have you considered applying for the job writing the "Media Watch" bit of Villa's website?

Typically uplifting fare about Villa in the Mail this morning.

I'm no fan of the Mail these days but sadly we only make the news for the negative stuff these days.
Christ almighty this season can't end quick enough for me.

Totally agree. I've stopped clicking the link for this reason.

Yep, along with WM there seems to be an anti-Villa agenda which is becoming more and more obvious.  There is only ever positive articles about Albion and Blues and it is as if is aimed at fans of those two clubs in particular.

Good. I hope it gets worse and worse. This club needs a siege mentality. It might be the only thing that unites it.

Trouble is you can't create a siege mentality if there's no real leadership and what little you do have is so aloof to the supporters that the media bias is not seen to be an issue.

At some point we're going to have to pull together. That might come when we're in League 1. But we can use the universal derision, not least on our own doorstep, in our favour. A 'fuck the world' attitude might help us on our way back.

Again, when things change at the club and we're back where we belong let's hope the club doesn't  forget the piss taking and sneering from the Mail when they come cap-in-hand and want to be our best friends again.

Couldn't agree more.
