WM Presenters

Mark Bradley
Hi Tony great show I don't get chance to phone in as I am driving when you are on the air.I am a WBA fan which seems to mean We Are Bottom Again For Christmas. I don't know what the fuss is bout as we should all know the baggies never spend on Christmas presses. Why Miller is off sick they should have him but down as he will never be a any good at this level, he is to fat and to slow he only plays for 10 min I watched him the warm up he always looks like he as lead feet just but him down now get rid. I like the way we play but we have to get points not put on a show its like a Christmas pantomine, some years ago Swindon came up through the play offs under Hoodle and they played spme of the best footy in the prem but went straight back down. The other week we scored a goal which came from Roberts LONGBALL pass till we get some points on the bored goals come before how we play. I am not botherd if we play 4 5 1 - 4 3 3 - 4 4 2 - 3 5 2 its the goals that count and I don't see us getting pass the half way line. Some years ago Birmingham and us was in the bottom 3 Birmingham spent we didn't and they staied up we went down, last year Birimingham didn't spend and look they went back down so lok like the championship for 2009/20010 I am never going up again keeping my money in my pocket till the so called owner JP spends on some presses. Kepp up the good work.

richard hinton villa fan
you are an idiot, saying o'neill is a bad manager people like you ruin football look where villa was 2 years ago, you should be sacked, a typical kneejerk reaction. please dont talk about the villa or king martin again we are fed up of listening to a idiotic jelouse coventry fan

Paul Humphries
Listening from Australia good to here ya voice its been 6 years See how the villa go tonight,all the best.

John Hickman
Tony,the Answer to the Albion Question for the Semi -final at Sheffield Weds is Leicester v Albion 1969 Sniffer Clarke scored and beat us 1-0

luke carroll
Hi tony , im just want to ask what do you think about the situation on cameron jerome , should he be playing or not .

Terry Jones
Just seen this page on the website so I thought I'd take the opportunity to express my thanks for a great broadcaster! Always enjoy your show and also have a good laugh! Cheers

Paul Mokler
Good evening, Tony.Sorry to tell you that Matt Murray was carried off at MK Dons last night with serious knee damage. Very bad news. I think Steve Bruce should be named, shamed and flogged in public for leaving the Birmingham v Ipswich match early with his wife, especially as his son Alex was playing and scored after they had left. What a disgrace ! Why don't the Baggies start signing some Premier League quality players, instead of trying to stay up on the cheap ? They are taking the Peace out of their fans. Kind regards Play up, Pompey ! Paul

summers
tony, u r a legend

Steve - Bilston
Tony- straight red-5 match ban without pay. Refs miked up.If teams win by 1,2,3,4 goals etc they get the equivilent in points.Up the Bilston Town

Brian - Sheldon
Tony,When you played your theme tune last night it bought back some good memories - remember prayer mats and hail Saunders of the Villa -glory days! Bring the music back permanent.

Mr Paul Smith
Give me Paul Franks any day of the week.Butler's a joke on what is a quality sports service from Radio WM."Sack him!"

Tony, from Dudley.
In response to your Cradley Speedway question on Wednesday night. In the early eighties the riders walked out behind the St John Ambulance Brigade to the tune 'Hitler as only got one ****'. You know the one. I think it was called Colonel or Captain Bogie. Not sure. Up the Tipton Ladies.

santa
Donk,he,s open to all knicknames under the sun.Lets hope he comes in and plays like a demon and doesn,t give anybody the chance to call him anything other than RYAN DONK great footballer.

Ant Mills
What is a Blower?

ANNE VIOLA
I FEAR THAT WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FOOTBALL CLUB ARE LAGGING BEHIND WEST BROM WE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND AND NEVER REACH THE PROMISED LAND MANAGER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Nikita Richardson
My Great Grand father will ALWAYS be a true legend and in my eyes will always be the top scorer!

paul grice
Who do you think could replace Barry if and when he goes.

kevin in telford
villa fan, one of the best games ive seen at villa park for years, why didnt forsell start hes always plays good against us

Anthony
Re. The Baggies v. Pompey; I agree with your comments on your Butler-cast entirely. I will send it Mr. Mowbray! Regarding your comments about the top 4 premier teams; I am feed up with 5Live’s obsession with these teams. Their Sports show from 7 to 10pm covers top 4 night after night. I no longer listen; I listen to you, Mr B, and Daz.I love your show; it keeps me in touch with what is really happening at the Hawthorns. Please can you arrange for more of your shows to be saved on the 'Listen Again' feature?A Baggies fan in Cambridge (listening via the internet).

graham
what is it with butler and mcarthy does he hate the bloke that bad why not have him in the studio so he can say it to his face its just like being back at school calling people names its pathetic why shouldnt mick get nominated and hes not the only one

peter cullen ,is milner comeing to villa
Newcastle star reveals frustration at not being able to join Villa!!!! Newcastle United winger James Milner has revealed how he was frustrated that the North East club pulled the plug on his move to midlands giants Aston Villa.In a fans' Q&A with the Evening Chronicle, Milner revealed: "I came very close. I came into training and it was the last day of the transfer window."The manager said 'We've accepted an offer for you.' So when a club says they don't want you it is pointless staying. I had been at Villa the year before so I was prepared to go because I wanted to play football.

Tony
Re league games overseas, seven subs etc,The only way to stop businessmen from hi-jacking our game is to hit them where it hurts, in the pocket! They won't do it, but fans could really make them listen by staying away from matches

Penny & Ian - Yes2Travel
We would like to wishChasetown FC good luck for tonights game with Port Vale.You have put Chasetown on the map - Well Done!Its great to see Chasetown full of life.

joe
marinio for birmingham

Mike Sutton Coldfield Villan
Tony Start a movement for Rednapp & Adams as the new England dynamic duo serround them with Ince, Platt, Wilkins, Southgate etc, all of whom know the pride of wearing the 3 lions and have that added PASSION, something the overpaid egos we have currently have forgotten

Alf in Abu Dhabi
Tony - you have gone offline ( it has haooened before). Your link in the listen again page has disappeared. I am sure you know this - talk to the tech guys please - we want you back.

John Yeomans
Whats happened to the listen again function for your show? Living in Borneo its the only way to listen at a reasonable time!!

frankthegas
Baggies to win 3-0 on sunday butler,they play better football than the diggles,so theres no contest.They will need one of your prayer mats to have even a chance of adraw

David Dudley
I think Birmingham should offer Jose the job... He likes a challenge

Malcolm Pask
Hi Tony, George formby was born george hoy booth in Wigan in 1904

Eric Cook
To anybody who does the Pools,ignore Tony Butlers forecasts

neil cowming
good result for villa against bules tough game viila deserved the 3 points

GARY GALLETT
Lord Butler.your lordship, I am a bluenose, but to save me from weeks of disapointment i'm also a football fan, and follow all the west midlands teams. Can you ask all villa fans what a local darby means to them? as last season their local darby was Sheffield Utd and/or Man: city??I hope WBA and Wolves/Coventry come up next season and make it a grat season for the midlands.can you find out why boxing day matches have changed, it used to be as local as possible ie, villa vs blues man; utd vs man; city but now its one end of the country vs other end??The clock count down in stadiums NO! not needed just better trained referes.do all football stadiums have very large TV sceens? If so can the ref run an average of 50 yards take a look at the replays and make a very important veiw of the match?As said before on your programm, it wont be long before a ref is in court explaining why he as cost a club £50m+. The FA and refs need to do something soon to C.Y.A ( cover your a**s)sorry. The young at heart man at club Bath at 91 years young, If your still doing a great at 91 i will still be listening. Thank you for your time, your lordship.keep on bubbling.

brad the baggie
im sik of wolves sayin that they are better than us you will never be better than the albion in this season i cant wait to see miller and phillips vs breen and craddock hahaha

Duco
Why do you block match commentary for people outside the UK? I would love to listen to the Baggies match tonight. Boing Boing! BBC reply - It's all to do with rights and at the moment we only have UK rights.

Dave from Holland
As a lifelong baggie fan who travels extensively but returns as often as possible to my seat at the hawthorns I would like to say long may TB continue. His voice is a symbol of continuity in a fast changing world. His memories and observations of the WM teams,players and matches remind us collectively ,bind us together and divide us in friendly local rivalry.

gary from bloxwich
Tony ,How come you never see Steve McClown watching Derby v Wigan or the like.I bet when he's watching one of the top 4,he has to ask who the other side are several times.On his bike FA

brian
Referee`s should be banned like the players are for fouls, if they make mistakes and i see why clubs should`nt be allowed to appeal against their(referee`s)bad decisions as i beleive they can for yellow/red cards

Tony Brokkes
hello tone. what's happening to the game. 5 referees i've never heard anything so ridiculous do you think theres too much money in the game and thats why theres too much pressure on getting things right go back to the 70's 2 linesmen 1 referee absolutely perfect.best header of the ball les ferdinand best crosser of the ball robbie dennison for the wolves cheers mush w.w.f.c till i die

neilwright
hi tony crouch and owen up front should have video refs like cricket and rugby 5 refs a joke

Steve Robinson
WG Richardson is not the top scorer at the Albion he got 228. The Bomber Brown is top scorer with 279!!

David
Hi TonyI agree with you regarding Eastwood. He should definately be in the team as we need a goal scorer.It's ok with having players running around at 100 mph but if you can't score you don't win.Eastwood will be on his at the end of the season if stubborn Mick McCarthy does not pick him.

ace from gran canaria
sound tony listen to you every night on the net keep up the good work lay off brucie he is doing a top job keep right on the promised land is not far away

neilwright

Chris Hayes

What is Tony doing with that banana? I wouldn't like to speculate...

ross from Erdington
tony the lion roars again over Aston up the Villa,no to Heskey but were is Crouch

Rich from Aston
Villa were absolutely amazing yesterday but lets not get overexcited. Next weeks match against Man City is a must win game if we are to be challenging for Europe. We weren't expecting to get anything from the Chelsea game

Alf Mallin
When can we expect tp hear the Football Phone-in on listen again? It keeps me going in the UAE.

Mark
Albion all the way this time no mistakes.... Automatic is a must

martyn from nuneaton

Eric the Wolves Fan
To all the Albion fans who were crowing about getting to Wembley...."What happened?!" You may have beaten us to getting there but youve done no better! and in the match itself.. You did nothing! Up the Derby! They well and truly Rammed ya! ;-)

Emma, Baggies Fan
Hi,I am just writing to tell you about a fantastic day that all the albion disabled suppoters had yesterday at the meet and greet and training session, especially my grandad. I would like to praise all of the players for the respect and good gesture that was shown to all. However, there was one player who really put himself out to ensure he spent time with each suppoter and showed he was anything but a thug, Robbo, what a gentleman. I hope that you can find time to thank all of the players on the air for me for making my grandad so very happy yesterday, with a special thanks to Robbo for being such a gentleman.RegardsEmma

Want to say well done to my team Leamington FC for winning the midland football alliance. Love the show Tony by far the most entertaining football phone in around.

dave kaye
Torquay fan living in wolves well done walsall see u next yeardave.

robin hanny
How come football is a beautiful game when it is played by such obnoxious people and managed by such thick and stupid people. The management at the higher level are even worse, most have no idea how to run a business the size of a sweet shop, let alone a national football league.I think you run a great show and I've listened to your shows on BRMB and others since I came to Birmingham totally broke and looking for new opportunities in the 1970s.Keep up the good work, Robin Hanny

robin wilkins
dissapointed in the coverage on the speedway so far for opening night tonight. You are only mentioning 70's 80's and 90's. nothing about 1946 when it first opened, My father was a speedway rider in the 1940's at perry bar,and my mother is sponsering the last race tonight in his memory ,she was also there on opening night in 1946,when bert spencer got the lap record and held it for a good three years. The speedway holds dear memories for my family as this is where my parents meet on opening night ,and sadly we lost him in 1980 very prematurely. Hope you can include some of the earlier coverage on your future broadcasts today as my mother is listening all day. kindest regards robin

Mike Poppetty
Hi Daz. Have you noticed what won the 4.40 at Cheltnam today, Butler's Cabin @ 33-1. Backed it @ 40-1 this morning. Well done Tony! Regards Mike

mick (.west brom)
hi tony was at the game on sunday.why and i must state why is tony playing richard chaplow in the midfield.and i must state why is not tony trying to get someone in on loans player untill the end of the season.thats if we stand a chance of making the play offs.got to say like the red coat on sunday

ronnie from great barr,
tony im an aston villa fan, and i know we might only have the same amount of points as this time last year, but theres a world of differance, last year we knew that we were gonna watch the same old rubbish match after match under o;leary, but now we are paying good football and we have a chance, and sir martin o;neil will get it sorted given the time, thanks ton,

gary turley
hi tony. if west brom do not go up. peace to blame. where,s the money gone. the club are happy to stay in championchip. peace out. good luck to all our local clubs. thanks

Johnny Franks
i am disgusted that sir tony butler thinks they should bring technology in it will be the death of footballyou can not slow the game of football down you cant and whats the point of the referee then and there would be no atmosphere as well

Saxon Joe
I think that villa will not get into top 10 this season but this season is and experiment to se what o neill can do but wait til next year UEFA cup here we come up the VILLA!!!!!!!

sam woolley

DAVID MCILREE
IT is that the BBC are making a new series of one foot in the grave and they wantyou to be VICTOR MELDEW

ian (peewee)peters
what a great move from wolves with the new early bird prices also great prices for kids the fans parliment has worked.... the board are listening and learning. it has been a refreshing change this season watching young talent given a chance. this should have happened years ago ,instead of throwing millions down the drain on overpayed and underperforming so called superstars ....keep up the good work mick.....thanks for a great show tony.... ian peters...walsall wood

russell davies
people moan about video replays stopping the game the balls only in play for an average of 63 mins

seth-blatter
will you be doing the speedway,

Tony and Bridget from Derby
Hi Tony Love listening to the show - As Ex season Ticket holders for donkeys years at the Molineux, we chose to vote with our feet and not renew this season like many others - for the first time - with the announcement of the Early Bird we still feel that Wolves are like a rudderless ship with the present owner (even though Sir Jack has done the club the world of good, we feel his lack of commitment on all fronts - ala " giving the club away etc" not to mention that man Moxey - an overpaid book keeper with no clout in the footballing world - Are we no longer "true loyal supporters" because we have chosen to do the only thing that fans can do in protest - Vote with our feet? Whats your opinion?

Adrian James
Hi Tony I HAVE GOTTA SAY THAT WM IS THE BEST STATION IN THE WEST MIDLANDS FOR FOOTBALL COVERAGE AND THE PHONE INS AND I LIKE THE POOLS PANEL ON THURSDAYS WITH DAZ HALE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADS

Ian Watson
Hello Tony, I'll be listening between 7.15 and 8.00pm monday night. Just to say that the Villa game was a cracker, Reading thoroughly deserved to win considering the pressure in the second half and if the Villa front two could get it together and get some decent service then maybe, just maybe they will be a team to reckon with. Playing Gareth Barry way, way out of position at left back was a joke and until Glen Little was subbed he looked definately championship standard.Keep smiling and watch the Royals go. (great show every monday Butler) From Ian Watson in Telford. All together now....Stevie Coppells barmy army

IAN PAYNE
What a breath of fresh air Tony Butler is, even though I always call him Mike. I am not and never will be a footie fan, infact I can't stand the game, but I love listening to Tony's banter and find it greatly entertaining. The footie talk is - well just secondary to everything else !! Best, IAN PAYNE [LICHFIELD].

Pluggy
Aston Villa - Young and Carew the best thing that has happened to Villa for a long time.

Paul, Rowley Regis.

RICHARD WESTON
HI TONY, EXCELLENT SHOW, I AGREE WHOLEHEARTLY, PLAYERS SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH POWER, IT'S STUPID AND SHOULD BE STOPPED. I WENT TO THE BLUES GAME LAST TUESDAY, WHAT A BORING GAME, BLUES, AFTER THEIR ONE AND ONLY GOAL, THEY FELL ASLEEP. AND TO LOOSE TO A BOTTOM CLUB IS FRANKLY EMBARASSING.

I used to listen to you 30 years ago, when I was a student at Birmingham university. I was never a football fan - never saw Villa, City, Walsall, etc, but I loved your banter and argument with regular callers. These days I still don't know one end of a football from the other, but its great to hear you again, and you show livens up my afternoon tremendously.

Brian Greenfield
Who's the ref on Sunday, rumour going aroud here that it's Uriah Rennie. God Help us.
