I think there is a wider anti-midlands bias and definitely an anti Birmingham bias. It's either obvious in constantly portraying people with a midlands accent as thick or just bias by omission. What national presenters of anything have a clear West or East midlands accent. Plenty of Scots, London/Essex, Manchester and Scouse but a gaping whole in the middle of the country. Even people like Lineker, a Leicester lad sounds more London now. Was it coached out of him to get on ?

In my new stadium daydream, Comcast use our stadium and their contacts to relocate Sky Sports to part of the new ground, partially funding the (re)development.

We’d suddenly become the centre of the pundit’s world and they’d hate it.

Hookey does appear to have a bit of a Man Utd obsession to be fair.

More like a pathological hatred.

As for Birmingham bashing it might help if the wankers could pronounce its name properly...the amount of them that refer to it as Birminum boils my piss. And they say we are thick!

What's there to regard? What do people want to see them doing, advertorials for the delights of relocating from Kensington to Walsall?!

Ha, it's not that, it's that the region is very populous and I think generally treated as if it didn't exist. Look at slobber all over the shoes of Red Wallers and the Scotch over the last decade, compared to a region which has more Westminster seats than either of those. You can just see it quite plainly.

How much attention do you reckon we get in the south-west? You don't see us bleating about it. We're far too cool for that.

Yes. And again, I'd ask what sort of coverage people expect. There are trees on the line outside Kings Norton? Bromsgrove has a new Nando's? What should be making the news and isn't?

Good idea. I’ll get on that right away

Just waiting for the Talkshite knobheads to start their usual

"Why's he gone to Villa, surely he could have got a better move?"  bollocks.

I love thinking about what they might say. It's definitely healthy for the mind.

Do you prefer Kaveh or Dharmesh ?

It's disappointing we didn't get Tel like Dharmesh is saying Villa were one of the clubs he would have preferred.
Yes I think Dharmesh is more knowledgeable as he had heard of Tel unlike Kaveh
Tel is outstanding potential for me.

Tel is quality, but he's not what we needed in this window. I wonder if we'll look again in the summer.

The famous deal sheet.
Between 9pm -11pm have to sign a document for a transfer to still happen after 11pm
Interesting.
