I'm not even a native, why aren't you all calling the Argus, The Pink?

So Coventry and Walsall
Form rate: Fair
And Solihull Moors, Burton Upon Trent, Tamworth.
Were never in the Argus Big Six
Form rate: Poor
No? In our E and D (Dudley edition), the big 6 were Albion, dings and villa, Walsall, Port Vale and Stoke. No mention of Southerners like Cov or Brummagem.
You don’t know you’re Argus from your Sporting Star. And that Sir is disgraceful. The fact you bought the Sporting Star is criminal.
Noted
Do you mean your?
My grandad bought the Star because it was about our local teams. Hence, no blues or Cov.

Just because something was pink, doesn't mean you'd stoop so low as to use the obvious name... The Sports Argus, was always just the Argus, which I bought outside of Argos to add to confusion.

Not my argument. I didn't print the paper! That was what they featured as the big 6. The e and d also incorporated the Shropshire Star and was big on Staffs football, I suppose villa got included just for the Brummie overspill.
