50% Villa Craig Gardner

[The Left Side]

Nice touch, but how would that have gone down if he had scored against us!?!

[The Laughing Policeman]

I sit in the family stand and I, like nearly every one else in the area, applauded his action.
To be honest I wouldn't have booed him anyway.
I liked him when he was with us, and would welcome him back.

The bloke in front of me was calling him for everything, shouting that we changed our minds just because he was wearing a 'Stan' t-shirt!
The guy's an idiot anyway, so I shouldn't have been too surprised.
The family stand is no place for the filth coming from his mouth, there are children by us, and shouldn't be subjected to it. That's why we go there.

If the guy's language is unacceptable in the family stand, then you should have a quiet word with a steward about him.

As for Craig Gardener, fair play to him for the T shirt display. Unfortunately like most in the Holte I didn't see what was on it so I joined in the singing of cheerio to him and waving goodbye.

I'm in the North Stand upper and I could see he had a Stan t shirt on when he took his shirt off fair play to him.

[mattjpa]

Does anyone know if the support stan tshirts will be on sale tommorrow?

[olaftab]

A Brummie kid, the brother of a lad we hope will become a huge star for us, and a Villa Academy graduate who only moved on to try and make a career for himself when his first team opportunities here became so limited. 
Good luck to the lad.

This.

The booing  he suffered during the game was well out or order.

They should be.

[not3bad]

They're certainly in the club shop.  Was in there yesterday.

[Summers]

Fair play to him, i wouldnt be adverse to swapping him for warnock in the summer- gardner has improved since he left and scores a few goals from midfield which we have lacked since milner left.

I reckon we'd see Gary play better with Craig in the side, too. But yeah, there's a place for him. He battles hard, scores goals, tackles. We're light in midfield as it is. Warnock for Gards, I'd say yeah.

I'd have him back at the Villa.  He is exactly the kind of player we need in midfield and if we could get him for next to nothing on a swap deal with someone like Warnock, then it would be a good move.

[TaxDodger]

I wouldn't have him back. He's no better than Herd really.

[Legion]

I wouldn't have him back. He's no better than Herd really.

Same for me. I'd have Milner back in a shot though.

[garyshawsknee]

It was a mistake to let him go,especially when we had players like Sidwell keeping him from getting into the side,even though Sidwell never played that much. He's shown at Blues last season and this season at Sunderland that he's a more than decent PL midfielder.

Why? He claimed to be a lifelong Villa fan while at our club, then signs for Small Heath admits to being a complete liar.
He deserves all the stick he gets.

Couldnt give a toss if he supports blues- if he does the job in a villa shirt then im happy enough.

I am mates with his Father -in-Law,does not want it at Sunderland.
