Meaning Evil. Stirring trouble

[andyh]

That rag has printed so many negative stories about the whole region over the years.
As I have said before, it must be the only publication that hates its own target market.

Jack Grealish is highly rated and interests at least one of the top teams in the Premier league. Manure are the team most linked and almost certainly have the money to buy him IF Villa choose to sell. In other bleeding obvious news apparently bears do shit in the woods.

This

It is a self-loathing rag that perpetuates every negative Brummie stereotype you can think of, and actively seeks to undermine and belittle its biggest football club.

All through one of the most hideous, advert-laden, clickbait driven web site you'll see anywhere.

I look forward to it disappearing for good.

If that's local 'news' they can keep it.

Fuck me, if you filtered out the crap from the Mail website, you'd be left with a blank page with the date at the top.

When the Mail finally closes I shall mourn the Evening Mail of my youth and early adult years and not the the pathetic mess it’s been for the last 10 or so years. It’s relentless clickbait drivel on Twitter etc has been the final straw. Good riddance to the rag (whenever that’ll be).

They can't blame it on their ownership. Them, the Liverpool Echo and the Manchester Evening News are all owned by Reach.

On an average day the Echo website  will lead with 'Liverpool - Why it's so great'.

The MEN will have 'Manchester - Best city in the world'.

The Mail will say 'Birmingham - If you're lucky you'll get out in one piece'.

How many of the Mail reporters are locals? As in Birmingham. Seeing as it's the Birmingham Evening Mail and most of their readership is based here.

I always thought it strange that they've had us reported on numerous times by bitter Albion twats who found it impossible to be impartial and littered their reports with amateurish jibes.

[Confusious says]

The mail unfortunately is not local now, I can remember when we had the Despatch paper which was local & a good alternative to the meaning evil but they were taken over by them. I have found the express & star to be more palatable for Villa & local news.

They’ve taken the piss out of us for years.  Giving us two Smethwick supporters in a row as they men inside Villa Park’ for a start off.  Surprised they didn’t go the whole hog and give us Twattum.  Even before that they had that horrible blue nose twonk Roger someone name escapes me being openly vitriolic about us in The Argus.

Always loved hearing the vendors calling out what sounded like Spatchy Mail.

[in exile]

Would that have been "Dispatch and Mail"?
I seem to remember that.

[RichardBatchelor]

It’s not only the ‘content’ which is woeful but a web page takes about a year to download properly. Feels like a seething, writhing infestation of ads and viruses.
