Try that one.

Barry looks delighted. I expect it's part of a deal.

Too true. Have we ever had a more miserable squad?

Get on one of those fast-track (no pun) courses you wee twattock!
And get your hands out of your pockets young man.
And look me in the eye...

That's better

He did what he did because he behaved stupidly, not because he plays for Aston Villa

Yes, but now he is showing contrition and putting his face to the anti-drink drive campaign - as a Villa player.

Because people might take more notice of a Villa player perhaps?

The photo looks as if it's outside Bodymoor Heath, either that or it's been photoshopped by those bluenose swine at Trinity Mirror.
