I saw a stat that it was the first time Man City and Man Utd both lost at 3pm on a Saturday since Spetember 2013. We beat Man City 3-2 that day.

Just incase people don't remember. I still shudder thinking Andi had run off too early to celebrate instead of making sure!

Me and my mate were finishing up our half time pints in the David Targett suite and about to bugger off home when El Ahmadi scored, the first half of that game had been like practice match for them and Yaya Toure had probably had twice as many touches of the ball as our team put together.

Amid the civil war over the corporatisation of the Villa, it's worth remembering we have a section of the ground named in honour of Doug Ellis's doctor.

Not really into the media conspiracy thing too much, I just think lazy journalism a lot of the time.
On that just listening to talkshite and some Villa fan complained that we’d won 6-1 and they’d hardly mentioned us. Jim White then gave us a minute in which Stuart Pearce said we did well but it was never a 6-1 game. Oh please do go and get feck off

Pearce is a twat, his level of scrutiny of the performance tells you all you need to know about his management skills.

My wife, who is a Villa fan but not invested in the same way we are on here, text me during the game on Saturday unprompted to tell me Talksport were gutted at the score, it was all Brighton apparently and VAR is our friend.

Beeb 5 Live couldn't hand back to the Golf quick enough after each Villa goal update. It was like speed speaking competition. Olwtks scored 3 for us

This is the thing for me, I don't think it's a conspiracy as such but if we give someone a dicking it's usually reported as the opposition having a bad day, I don't care where we are on MOTD or how many times we get shown on sky, etc but I do long for the day when we smash the shit out of someone like Man U and all the press agree it was because we were really fucking good. What's really odd is that in other countries we get a much fairer review of how we've played.

It's this, we are gaslighted.

It's the same being a Brummie, and it's systemic in this country. And please don't tell me I'm imagining it all because that's exactly what I bloody mean!

Yes agree Paul.
It was interesting to me that when we went 4-1 up, there was almost a weird atmosphere for 10 or so mins, not apathy amongst the supporters but almost a feeling like yea this is what we do, we dismantle teams (not 6-1 every week obviously), this is the norm.
The media really haven’t cottoned onto this yet. Im not getting carried away as there have been some poor performances this season, but if our 2023 form continues all season, we’ll be top 3 or 4 without a problem and the current ignorance in the media means they won’t be able to fathom it.

Talksport stands apart in terms of low quality programming. They are always dreadful and not worth listening to.

Disagree, some of their programmes are quite good, it depends entirely on the presenters. Laura Woods used to be really good in the morning, and I like Hawksbee and Jacobs in the afternoon. I can listen to White and Jordan, but most of the rest of it is pretty bad, especially Jamie O'Hara and Jason Cundy, who are a pair of absolute bellends.

Yea Laura Woods was excellent and as you say Hawksbee and Jacobs are good, lots of the other stuff, especially many of the ex pro’s are appalling.

Danny Kelly, who is generally ok, do a weekend round up, started to say how brilliantly Villa have done under Emery, when he kind of talked over by the other presenters and it was ‘Brighton had a bad day, Villa’s second shouldn’t of counted, Brighton had 4 games in 10 days’ etc….didnt we have the same amount of games? A lot of old shite
