Birmingham Mail and Villa coverage

[in exile]

Again, why read it?
The same with BBC WM, why listen?

You know they are anti Villa so just don't look/listen.
Fuck 'em

I totally agree with this, fuck the fuckers!

Mat's their football editor. The Villa man is Gregg Evans.

Mat's their football editor. The Villa man is Gregg Evans.

If Mat's their football editor and supposedly keen on Villa, and Gregg is the "Villa man" why would either allow that to posted online?

With any luck the appointment will be a good one and shut these wankers up.

Why would your own local paper publish that load of shit if there isn't an agenda against the club.

Because there seems to be a Small Heath and Sandwell agenda in the sports section of that paper and they know that their fellow Villa obsessives lap that kind of stuff up.  Just trying to work out which one of them is going under the name Rory Benson though.

The Sunday MuckRacker used to come out with anti Villa propaganda all the time, but the Mail used to seem impartial. That piece just strikes of some sad arse-wipe bluenose telling them self they haven't got an inferior complex about us , but hiding the complex behind some lame humour.

Fill your boots lads and whilst you're at it , try and fill your ground as you push for promotion , or take as many fans to away games as we do.

What always bothers me and you can't discuss this with a nose without sounding bitter is that Enk never touched the ball from Mellbergs throw. Strictly according to the rules of association football that cannot result in a goal - it should not have counted. However it did and is still regarded as one of Small Heaths greatest moments.

Yup, should have been a corner.  Problem was Enks reaction, he obviously didn;t know the rules.  He should have just confidently picked it up and threw it towards the corner flag, wagging his finger saying he never touched it.
Talk about an incident that completely destroyed a promising goalkeeper's career.

Your right. Makes you wonder how a professional keeper can play in the premier league and not know the rules? Still who cares after 14 years? Hope the scumbag Mail & the hard of thinking sty dwellers have enjoyed their day. It will be that much sweeter when the Doc gets it right and we can once again laugh loudly at all the haters. We'll be back.

The Mail isn't a newspaper anymore, it is just a collection of increasingly desperate tweets (see their stuff about the 'rivalry' with Newcastle the other week) aimed at dragging people to a page on their site where you will struggle to find the actual content, there is so much advertising there, and even if you do find it, it's just any old shit regurgitated from elsewhere on the internet.

It's depressing to see what it has become.

They also seem obsessed with video. I find it hard to believe many people give a shit about what Greggggg Evans thinks about the latest topic of discussion enough to read about it, let alone sit through several adverts and then a 2 minute clip of him talking about it.

What I don't get is the likes of that utter clown Wollaston and the prick that was Twattum and that other gobshite that used to be allowed a section in the argus roger someone I think could/can all say what they like about the villa yet our own Matt Kendrick never seems to be able to do the same? It's all well and good saying rise above it but their contempt for us isn't even hidden these days.

[Axl Rose]

It's a dreadful newspaper. It's main use being to put inside wet shoes after heavy rain. Greg Evans is such a smarmy bellslap. So much so that he isn't even good enough to put in a wet shoe.

[Damo70]

I don't buy it,don't  read it and stopped going on the website. Nothing to do with any perceived anti Villa stuff, more to do with the fact the paper and it's website are crap.

[big 1st serve]

Kippax Villa 2, I think the Roger you were thinking of was Mr Skidmore?  Never slow in writing a " balance of power is shifting " bit ...after a few defeats for us or a few wins for Small Heath.

Because the Mail know what generates traffic.

[Diablo]

Have they ever done a worse article than the Huddersfield manager text? Absolutely dire. I'll add it to the other rags that I don't buy, read or click on.
