Meaning Evil. Stirring trouble

Isn’t he supposed to be Villa born and bred?

If you really have an octenagarian parent who reads the birdcage liner the Birmingham newspapers have become they will never use the word "Evening" as a prefix.  That coruscation came when they started selling their organ at all times of the day.

Is the Sunday Mercury still going?

Shame Matt Kendrick left the Mail. He was a good journalist.

Done a podcast here with Stephen Cooke who I remember being massively rated when I first started reading this forum. Was going to get proper chance under Graham Taylor but O'Leary didn't rate him one bit.

I thought Mat Kendrick was still there but has moved up the hierarchy a bit.

Mat is now the Mail's football editor.

I don't know whether that was the case but - watching this - it's clear that injury and attitude did for him.
By attitude, I mean that he'd obviously been an amazing young player and had got used to being at MAnure and Villa and didn't fancy the smaller-club environment.
Interesting article.

I went to a small gathering years back when the 25 year anniversary of the European Cup win was being celebrated (just after Learner had arrived), a few of us in the Pepper Mill in Coleshill with Tony Morley and Sid.
Sid was asked about the best young player he's worked with at the club, and without hesitation he said it was Cooke, the way he'd been treated by O'Leary was a disgrace (he wasn't a fan of O'Leary at all), and that there's was no way a player with his ability should have been a jobbing lower league player where he'd get kicked all over the place.

Matt still does the Claret and Blue podcast with Ashley Preece and Dan Rollison.  They are all big Villa fans.  And they are all guilty of the absolute tripe that the clickbait website produces.

Gregg Evans seems to have an interesting-looking piece with Tommy Elphick in The Athletic. If any subscribers fancy doing a cut and paste job that would be welcomed in the strongest terms in this pocket of West London.

I think they have that interview with Tommy Elphick as a podcast from tomorrow which is free.

That isn't even a story, more like something a teenager would knock up in his bedroom.
