Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

She sets a pretty big shadow herself!  Fat Trollope.

We must have really, really gotten to her.

We have been so bad for so long that most well balanced individuals would see us as a trifling irrelevance.

She was always someone who sought publicity (putting it mildly)so with that will come stick. Particularly from fans that her former club share a city with. It's a given. But the stick she got always seemed more pantomime to me.

Look at the dogs abuse Tricky Trev used to get, yet he doesn't seem to be consumed by it still.

Take it as a compliment.

[Toronto Villa]

and it's an article by Kendrick too. He's as much part of the problem there as everyone else. Fucking stupid. What an utterly bollocks publication it has become.

I used to ask my Mom to grab me a copy every so often, either if there was a big Villa story or something going on in the city. I would look forward to bringing them back home to Cornwall with me and have a good old read. I have not done this now for over 5 years. It's beyond poor.

Is Alan Partridge the Sports Editor there now?

[VILLA MOLE]

Good luck to them selling advertising space with articles like this

Maybe it's Mat's way of showing up Blues' obsession but either way, it's a piss poor website. They might as well get Baggie Bill back.

Deary me.

Best story about Brady is the true one about the time she met Doug at a function at the Grand Hotel.  She brassed herself into Doug's group and he asked her "and what do you do?"  To which our nymphette replied "I am with City". HDE smiled benignly (he knew perfectly well who she was) and replied "Ah, you work for the Council".

[cheltenhamlion]

Boom.

Please, I don't want to click links to that shit site. Pasted articles would be appreciated.

Now THAT is small time at it's very best.

As a kid I had to deliver the Birmingham Mail to three streets around where I lived. It was shoulder breaking work with the large newspaper delivery bags absolutely full of what were then broadsheets. Almost every house had "The Mail" delivered 6 nights a week. It was a quality read in those days. My Dad used to spend what seemed like hours reading it every night. My job was to use the previous night's issue to draw the fire (ask your parents)

I understand that the world has changed and newspapers are not the necessity that they once were of course, but I can't help feeling that their current strategy of targeting the lowest common denominator is not one that will bring success, when The Metro for example is free and from what I glanced at yesterday in the tube appears somewhat superior to The Mail.
