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.

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!
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

Come on Spurs fans, Arsenal fans, we want to hear your thoughts"

Oh please do go and get feck offThis 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.
Talksport stands apart in terms of low quality programming. They are always dreadful and not worth listening to.

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.
