Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[peter w]

Anf why we should hasten its departure by not buying it, giving it clickbait, or listening to WM.

[Boz]

Spot on.

BBC/ITV football commentators are also inclined to provide their opinions and tell viewers what players are thinking!!! when their job is to comment on the match

Another wonderfully insightful article from our Gregg:

Why even bother.

[peter w]

I won't bother - can someone just give a quick precis?

Team was woeful last season. We have great fans that travel in big numbers. We're one of the best supported teams in the country. We fans deserve something to shout about this season.

[peter w]

Ta. Sounds fair enough.

[pauliewalnuts]

Why are the Mail convinced we really give a shit about watching Gregg Evans opining on video?

[London Villan]

Badly filmed videos at that.

why oh why do  they continue to call us the claret and blue we are the Villa, the Villan's and at a massive push Lions.

A 'fan watch' article for a pre season game at Telford.  Do they have to write a certain number of articles per week or something?

Wasn't so much the content PWS, just questioning the need to write a 'fan watch' article about a pre season game against non-league opposition.

the official site are the source of it mate, this is part of the match report from telford:

As perhaps expected, the claret and blues upped the tempo and began to dictate proceedings.

the mail are just lifting it from the os

[Matt C]

I don't envy the writers who have to churn out these articles at ridiculous frequency but they do write some utter shite. The Internet has much to answer for.

[Stirchley Villain]

There's a lot of empty potential news space to fill with tripe.
