Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm embarrassed for both 'newspapers'.

Aston Villa will be here long after the Birmingham Mail has folded. Fuck those rats.

It is becoming clearer by the day that we need a campaign against our fans accessing their website, and a good start would be discouraging links to it.

Bang out of order that

Disgrace

I've asked numerous times for folks to copy and paste the article so as they don't get the clicks.

[RichardBatchelor]

I haven't particularly picked up on any anti-Villa bias BUT it's an absolute salacious rag of a piece of effing shite, the article today about potential Villa managers had every shit-stirring, lazy, poorly written and cliché and misconception going (ie Bruce would have a hard time cos' he's ex-Blouse etc etc). Only the S** is worse.

A pretend whatsapp conversation? Is that seriously what they do to create articles now? Possibly the shittest thing they've done so far.

any one know where the Birmingham mail get their info from? regarding Aston Villa, have the mail got Any journalists?

my reason for asking is just had a look at there on-line version, and im thinking they Dont do any research at all. seems they get their info from sites like this.

I havent bought a copy of the paper since it stopped being the Evening Mail.

I read the comments from a few readers regarding there article on Aston Villa and they were all slagging the paper off, because it was just regurgitated news from the Telegraph.

absolute rag.

I enjoy the Telegraph for political news and updates. Birmingham Mail keeps me quite well informed online but they don't seem to necessarily have the finger on the pulse. It's an easy read though. Sky Sports is always the one to keep an eye on for me - it's unlikely to be rubbish they are reporting and you can rely on it to be accurate and quick.

what the rags still going???

whats the circulation now??? 

I heard on the news today that this year news paper sales were down 19%

as going concern the rag is finished.

[PeterWithesShin]

That the Mail published that article by send us the Bill Howell after the FAC QF confirmed for me quite how low its standards are now. I doubt any other local paper has ever published such a disgraceful article as that one.

Remember the digs. Remember the piss taking.

[The Left Side]

They are rags and the newspaper is a rag, they are made for each other. I agree with PWS, just don't even click on the link as that is all they are after, they are just peasants.

[Clampy]

Whilst I don't expect them to be singing our praises in the current circumstances, you'd expect them not to act like the equivalent of a teenagers blog. No doubt it will be re-tweeted by one or two of their journalists that should know better.

There's no journalism apparent.

Look at what has been happening at both Villa and blues for the last 6-7 years. Once, Mail journos would have been demanding answers and asking pertinent and difficult to answer questions.

Now it's all bantz in order to generate clicks. Engage people emotionally first, worry about content later, or not at all.
