Why would he be happy? We lost. Has he said he was unhappy with the manager or unhappy with the club and desperate to leave? No. For all you know he was unhappy as he got back from Newcastle and realised he had forgotten to tape "Sunday Politics" with Andrew Neill. Anything else is just conjecture.

He has said that for the first time, he is unhappy with his chosen career.  Can you think of anything that might have brought him to have that view?

He might have stubbed his toe in the dressing room for all we know. The hot water in the bath might have run out. Stephen Ireland might have not got his round in. We don't know and if every comment by every player was regarded so apocalyptically they'd all be transferred twice a year.

I can't see that the statement "I'm not happy playing football" is open to much interpretation to be honest.  He doesn't seem to be talking about anything trivial.

There could be many reasons why he said it, most of them trivial. We don't know what he meant by it or what caused it but the world is still turning and life goes on.

Maybe it has something to do with the abuse he was getting that he later re-tweeted?

I thought the abuse started after his tweet. I don't know as I don't follow him.

I agree with Dave that there is a lot of interpretation then he hates the manager / club and that is the reason for his comment.

He was being constantly booed by Newcastle fans and although he set up the goal, he was a bit of the pace especially in the second half. Maybe when he was on the bench or going down the tunnel he was spat on by Newcastle fans.

How is a tweet from a player's official twitter page not a verified source? It's that player's direct view, unadulterated by journalistic spin, and in this case it's N'Zogbia, and he ain't happy.

This. This is the entire point of twitter.

We're living in the age of instant responses. Most premier league footballers have far more money than most of us, they're immune from the realities of everyday life etc etc. They post things in the heat of the moment without thinking of the consequences, possibly sometimes egged on by others, pretending to care, whilst secretly enjoying the resultant 'this is terrible' outrage.

Nah. The Zog knew what he was doing. He's the sort of outspoken individual who needs to vent his frustration in public...but so what? What player would be happy to be subbed in favor of Emule? C'mon!

And as being debated, was that what he was saying? It can be interpreted in many different ways and could be because of abuse suffered from Newcastle fans as much as anything to do with Villa.

In non-football life, people have been jailed for comments made on t'internet. And I'm more than willing to believe some said comments have been misinterpreted.

The whole point of Twitter seems to me to give another outlet for the self-important to air their views.

Not to mention his weekly wages that probably equate to more than each of us would put into the club in a lifetime of following them.

To be honest, I don't think it is that he is unhappy with the club at all, which is the most important thing to me. Maybe he is unhappy that he hasn't been able to be the impact player he was at Wigan. He's played pretty well in a select few games, but he surely hasn't had an amazing game, yet. At Wigan it seemed like every Saturday he would have close to an amazing game. I think he'll come good, he just needs to feel wanted. We all know he has the potential to be a top, top winger. He's still in his first year with the club. Good things come to those who wait.

Strange substitutions? Don't agree with that unless you mean they should have been subbed earlier.N'Zogbia is one lazy fecker who didn't do his job at all defensively.Heskey may well be everyone's favourite scapegoat but he put a good shift in.As for Ireland, well he better be injured or he'll go down as the most gutless player to pull on a Villa shirt.The amount of times he pulled out of 50/50s was embarrassing,made Downing look like a footballing hardman.For me we simply didn't get the rub of the green and i'd be questioning why Bent never gets himself hurt.There were at least two occasions when he should have been going in with the keeper and instead he stood back.Bit more desire please Bent.
