Aston Villa: Bagarre entre deux joueurs ?

Rien ne va plus à Aston Villa. Alors que le club de Gérard Houllier, 13e de Premier League à deux points de la zone rouge, se bat pour son maintien, le manager français avait décidé de mettre ses titulaires à l'écart pour le match de Cup contre City ce week-end, pour les faire réagir.

Two points off "la zone rouge". I quite like that, it doesn't sound half as bad as "being relegated".

[E I Adio]

Slow sports news day I presume.

There's a Champneys place in Leicestershire, and if it was there and there was excess drink, they'd have had to take their own. You can buy a bottle of wine to have with your evening meal, but that's about it.

Reo-COker would have been one And I'll go for either Warnock or ASh for the other.

I guess one of our piss taking players who haven't really delivered recently was given a dressing down by another player. I can picture Ash or NRC having a right go at Dunne or Petrov. Probably Petrov.

[ozzjim]

I can certainly envisage NRC telling some that they need to put a bit more into it.

that's where my money's going. NRC might be limited in some of his skills but he certainly puts himself about. Of that players rumoured to be in the shop window, he's one I'd like to see stay. Anyway, as many have said a complete non story. A bit like the training ground bust up earlier in the year. Happens at every club, and for that matter in many workplaces I'm sure.

[VillaZogmariner]

Wasn't there rumours that NRC didn't get on with one of the players a couple of years ago - as such he wouldn't pass to him?

[bob]

NRC was the first one that came into my head too, but then I thought I remembered an interview where he said he didn't drink.

[villajk]

Isn't Warnock supposed to be a bit of a bad influence in the dressing room?

[bob]

It's been said in a number of sources, but would he have been there?

[villajk]

Probably not, Bob.

[lovejoy]

What's the internet for if not for finding out information such as this.

Drunk men in argument shocker!
