Sorry Fabian, but you're still a ******.
-
Dude, my bad.
-
Fucking count me in Risso. Good thread. A bit of grovelling is good for the soul.
-
I love Fabian Delph.
-
Sorry I called you a weasel. i meant to say cock weasel, fucking fucker of fuckers.
Enjoy the bench. Just another ordinary footballer now - shame could have been different here.
-
Dude, offer to cancel the clause or announce that it's never existed.
-
Top lad. Never any doubts. :-X
-
Delph, if you have turned down a move to stay because of loyalty, then you mate are an absolute legend.
You could be crap every game next season, and I think you'll be forgiven anything.
Well done son, a breath of fresh air after all.
Are you listening and watching Christian?
-
Love him like a brother.
-
He's one of us. Never in doubt .
-
Was there ever any doubt?
-
I'm glad he's staying there is a lord.
-
You have what it takes to become a Villa legend...never forget that.
-
Never in doubt. But please get that clause removed from the contract villa
-
A MASSIVE apology to Fabian Delph. Sports journalism is beyond a joke at the moment. Pathetic from the BBC and SSN, amongst others.
-
For me it seems like he was very nearly a Man City player, so I don't think apologies are needed. Not by us. I'll be looking at Delph like this for a while:

-
Always rated him!
-
Hmmm .There is a story here. Probably be in Roy Keane's next book!. I can hardly wait.
-
Does this mean Praet or Chery aren't coming? 😁
-
I think he will almost ( I repeat almost ) have a status akin to Ian Taylor now.
-
Red faced, apologetic, Captain My Captain !
-
Already made my apology on the Fabian thread.
Big piece of humble pie from me, glad your staying.
-
The egg I'm scraping of my face will go nicely with the humble pie I'm about to eat.
-
What I want to know is who hacked my account and posted all those unpleasant things about Delph in my name
-
Sorry, Fabian, that I told you to f**k off and called you a c**t on another thread yesterday evening, but I still think that you need to grow some longer legs.
-
Sorry I called you a weasel. But you could have nipped this in the bud earlier.
Or we could have taken his word instead of believing the media!!

Cant Believe it. Do I feel stupid now!

well according to the media "The captain was 100% on the way to Manchester City this time yesterday but Villa officials say he had a complete change of heart".

Those magic words again
-
I apologise for calling you a ******. You sir are a legend......
-
Was it that worthless rag the Birmingham Mail which started this load of bollocks?
-
Apologies - feels like a new signing!
-
I apologise for calling you a c***. You sir are a legend......
I apologise for chopping your head off and calling you a treasonous sack of shit. You sir are a true loyalist....
-
Was it that worthless rag the Birmingham Mail which started this load of bollocks?
Numpty Nursery I think.
In fairness to them, when the shitstorm was starting, The Mail printed a story saying that their understanding was that he had stayed behind because of the impending arrival of the new baby and nothing to do with a move to Manchester. (Albeit under a provocative headline)
-
What did one of our former managers call us.
No, I did not believe him then or ......... now?
-
Glad he's staying but what a fiasco!
-
Sorry Fabian, its not you, its me.

Surely the stories printed were based on more than just Delph not going on the Tour.
-
I didn't say anything bad about you Fabian...but I thought some things I am truly sorry for!
Fabian is one of the few footballers qualified to have a change of mind, by dint of having one of his own.
-
I feel quite glad I don't have to post anything on this thread to retract anything from others. I decided to hold off on any comment about the move until the ITSOTP picture came out. When we are linked with players a lot of the people on here, who were rather angry last night/this morning, are the first to plead calm before then so the advice needs to be help to when players leave as well, or at least until they have some genuine quotes about wanting to leave.
I'm glad he's stayed, I think him Sanchez and Gueye has the basis of a good midfield if they can gel and Westwood and Gardner are decent backup options so we're not far off having a top half standard midfield.
-
I kind of got the anger towards Delph, it was understandable but some of the stick the club got was way over the top.
-
I knew you weren't going anywhere. Never doubted it for a single minute*
* except the last 6000, obv.

I'M NOT SORRY!!!!!*

Can we not just pretend this never happened and delete the last few days of anger from the H&V history books? Our kids don't need to learn about this.
-
Soz bloke.
-
Well if I've learnt anything from this, it is to save my ire until I see the departing player ITSOTP.
Having said that, modern football is still shit.
-
Think a few of us may be eating a few hats. A chocolate bowler sounds delicious.

I agree with your last sentence. However, what does ITSOTP stand for !? Please note I'm old and frail.

I have always looked upon him as a son I never had. Never doubted him (yeah ok sorry for the pathetic outbursts in the FB thread)
-
Many thanks to VforL and Leeg
-
Je suis Delphy.
-
I never gave him abuse. 8)
All hail me.
-
I didn't give him abuse either but chuffed he's staying against all probabilities. Give the captain a new contract with either no release clause or one which is much higher :)
-

Given we don't know the details of the clause that may not be needed. It could easily have been that he was allowed to talk with CL clubs this summer for a fee of £8m but the clause ends in September. I've said this on here a few times recently, what the press express as a release clause and the actual contract are likely to be very far apart. The above makes sense in that the conversations his agent had been having with clubs about his potential free transfer can carry on but with a comparatively small fee now involved and Delph has the option to see what's on the table.
Take the Suarez situation as another example (as a great example of the press knowing fuck all) we all know Arsenal triggered it and Liverpool said no, if it's as simple as that the club are in breach of contract and Suarez can take them to court and probably get the contract paid up in full and have any club in the world offering him a contract as a free transfer. What actually happened is that he got a new Liverpool contract on apparently significantly improved terms about 2 days later. My thinking is that the clause probably said if Liverpool chose to veto the transfer they could but that would automatically trigger a new contract offer with the value of that already set.

The American owner was quoted as saying that they did not think it was enforceable
-
I never thought he would leave and it was just paper talk
-
Being as I didn't slate him I don't need to apologise. :-)
Glad he's staying though.
-
The bbc wouldn't have it as a main headline if it were speculation. A last minute u turn in my view. God knows why. Does this mean we return the new guy?
-
Yea sorry Fabian I posted "fuck him" but that's only because of how much I rate you and wanted you to stay.
Delph and gueye in midfield next season
Get in can't wait
-
You can read from my posts I knew he stay as his statement said. So really its more about people not listening and understanding agenda of media and clubs trying to unsettle
-
A MASSIVE apology to Fabian Delph. Sports journalism is beyond a joke at the moment. Pathetic from the BBC and SSN, amongst others.
Exactly this, journalism should only be about facts not Bull Shit
-
Sorry Fabian.
-
For fuck's sake. It obviously was a real story.
-
This is surreal.
-
Bunch of nambie-pambies! Accept your fickle nature and rejoice!
#weareficklewejustlikeyou
-
For fuck's sake. It obviously was a real story.
I agree you don't see journos stating that a medical is happening and then not happen very often. People just don't want to believe it in my opinion. Journos aren't always charlatans and I'm not a fan myself.
Glad he's staying though.
-
So we all say sorry, well maybe that can wait till Monday, when we read he has had the clause removed and if he does intend to move in the future AVFC will get full market value for him.
Think there is a bit of overkill here, it was not AVFC who booked a medical and before anyone comes back with, no it was his greedy agent, remember he employs him.
Good midfielder in a very average team, watching the Villa for over 40 years, he would not make my top 10 of midfielders, his first touch the last part of this season improved, prior to that his second touch normally ended in a yellow card and the facts that can't be changed 8 goals and 5 assists in his time at Villa. Glad he is staying as he is better that alot around him, but that says more about the current dross we have watched for 5 years.
-
Great that he is staying. Gerrard made a last minute decision to turn down Chelsea and it turned out ok for him.
-
So was there actually a medical booked?

I'm not sure even now he's quite become the player I thought he would after his first 6 months here. He only played fleetingly that season under MON but the bits I saw looked extremely exciting. It was mainly his range of passing that caught my eye but his ability to break into the box was evident as was his willingness to get stuck in, even though he mistimed a lot of challenges. The subsequent injuries have stunted his progress a bit in my opinion and although he is a very good premier league midfielder he isn't the superstar I thought he would be. He would possibly struggle to be first choice in a 'top 4 side'. That said, after Benteke he's out next best player and above the level we are at generally as a team at the moment, and it's a massive plus to have him staying, I'm delighted. He will help Sanchez with his progress and Gyeye settle also. They have the potential to be a really good midfield trio, depending on the formation we choose.

When we bought him I thought he was an attacking midfield player but since his injury he has looked far more defensive. I think you would see him look far better if Sherwood was to push him forward more and tell him to let others build the play from the back.
-
I think it is a combination of shoddy journalistic standards and an audience so used to being let down by the actions of footballers that made is seem credible. The only statement from any parties supposedly involved is the one from Delph asserting that he is saying. The rest is a combination of speculation, media bandwagon jumping and one or two people trying to put the best spin on it to save face for their reaction.
For my part I got it completely wrong when I really should have known better.

Quite true, although when he has got forward in this team he hasn't quite made it pay as much as you would hope. Maybe if Sanchez does the defensive stuff, and the new guy box to box he can be afforded more freedom to attack on a more regular basis, which would probably see him improve that aspect of his game.

If Delph understands the meaning of 'set the record straight' and is not covering up something, it would appear that he was never leaving.
-
This was all started by Brum Mail journalist Gregg Evans, he first broke the story on his twitter feed that was then picked up by BBC by which time Gregg Evans had already released his online article about the Delph to have a medical, the 2nd that went live is when Sky Sports started the headline.
The rest is history and it went way out of control, the level of abuse on his instagram including some strong level of threats was nothing short of embarrassing, usually player's ignore the haters especially if they are leaving a club but Delph had no choice but to release a statement saying he wasn't leaving and imo he never was.
The architect in all this Gregg Evans who is on the tour with Villa atm has now said the deal was definitely on but Delph changed his mind, he also said everyone in Portugal I.e staff and player's were all under the impression Delph was leaving, this has now been denied by Baker and Westwood who have said they have been in contact with Delph and he was never leaving.
The Birmingham Mail is beginning to be a real problem for us, you had Kendrick's outburst against Lambert that got him removed and replaced with Gregg and now we have this... Not to mention all the stories leading upto the Cup Final. This rag must really dislike our club, if I was Tom Fox I would be having serious words with the producers at Brum Mail and issue them with a final warning.
I had a rant on Twitter about the proposed move so I for one hold my hands up and I apologise for any abuse I may have said about him.
I'm Sorry Delph
-
I think the days of worrying about not having a good relationship with the local written media have long since gone. Ignore the Mail and give them even less access.
-
Just me looking forward too the make up sex?

Yep, just freeze them out altogether and give any scoops to the Express & Star.
The Mail really are the pits.

I think the general backlash was fair enough given the certainty with which all media outlets were reporting it, and it looks like an about turn rather than the reports being wrong. Also, the ridiculously low buy out figure is still "a thing" so I think the outrage was justified.
So maybe "sorry" isn't what we should be saying, but "well done and thanks for changing your mind".
-
We should all stick to the rule of ITSOTP in both incomings and outgoings.

It appears that the made up bit was the medical taking place on Saturday.

It would make for a very dull website.

Surely we've got to come up with a song now!!
-
Don't know why the media are getting the blame for the slagging he got on here, that's down to the individuals that posted the stuff
The media probably just reported what was happening at the time, I reckon Delph could easily have been a Man City player today if he wanted to be
Fortunately for us He changed his mind or had second thoughts that's all that's happened here
-
The media are getting the blame because it was the media who collectively ran the story as a done-deal.

It is not a done deal until a contract is signed or it is 100% certain to be signed. 'Done deal' is too loosely used today to exaggerate a position.
There has been a lot of supposition over the last few days and even now, there are many following the 'no smoke ....' theory.
-
It can't be a done deal if its not a done deal but they reported it as a done deal...collectively we were all expecting and waiting for him to be ITSOTP over the weekend. That is what the media reports lead us to believe, however the truth of how far this transfer saga went or if it was even happening in the first place is unknown.

So your saying that the media reported that Delph had signed a contract with City, because I never read that
I read stuf like 'Delph on his way to Man City' 'City have triggered the release clause' 'Delph to have a medical' and like I say that might have been true at the time,
but Delph changed his mind I don't see what's so difficult to understand about that
-
Nope thats not what I'm saying...they reported it and we were lead to believe that the completion of the transfer was just a formality and this is confounded by the fact that SSN reported their "surprise turn of events" as to the content of Delphs statement. It doesn't matter anyway, we're just knit picking over the definition of "done deal"...the only thing that matters is that he's staying (at least for now anyway).
-
TS:
"He had an opportunity to join Man City and he weighed up his options and decided to stay with us, which we're obviously all delighted about.
-
We need to repay his decision and put players around him that will ensure we don't kick around the arse end of the table again.

Equally he needs to add goals and assists to his game.
-
I used to love spitting image portraying the press as snorting pigs sticking their snouts into everything. Very appropriate. I really don't see the point of arguing this particular case on here unless anyone has first hand access to Delph or the Man City manager. How can anyone claim to really know what happened otherwise?

Weren't they a mixture of pigs and vultures in suits on spitting image ?

Quite possibly, it's been some time ago but I definitely remember the pink pigs with hats on, snorting!! :-)

according to the BBC he's having a medical right now
-
What the ....???
-
Fabian Delph and Man City can both go and fuck themselves.
-
C**t
-
We go again...
-
#sorrynotsorry
-
Its disgusting the Club have not issued a statement - if Delph is having a medical its known to the Club
-
Get out of town. Why should the club comment?
If Delph is going, he's going. Its nothing to do with the club. We just need Reilly and Sherwood to pick one of the zillion midfielders we've been linked with and buy him in replacement.
-
I think Ljajic is better than Delph.
-
Delph is a good player, but he's far from irreplaceable. He doesn't score and creates bugger all. It can't be that hard.
-
The Club should comment so everybody whats going on !!!!!
Delph is under contract so unless the Club have agreed he cannot be having a medical
So why should the Club not tell everybody whats going on - simple !
-
Yep. If disgusted is how you feel now how do you feel when you hear if truly heinous acts? Anyway if he leaves Delph is the scoundrel here, not the club.
-

Because if they called a press conference every time any bit of business went on they'd never have any time to actually do anything.

But nothing has actually happened. It may well be the case that in a few days he is no longer our player. Then would be the time to register disappointment.
What is it with people wanting some minute by minute account of every occurrence, no matter how small.
-
We are talking about our Club captain here ....... either he is in Manchester with the full knowledge of the Club so be open and issue a statement or its an illegal approach
-
Why is it illegal? Why should a club announce the varying stages of a transfer?
If he goes, he goes. You'll find out soon enough.
-

Or.....he's not in Manchester at all and this is all bollocks.
-
Someone is seriously trying to destabilise the club
-
Someone is seriously trying to destabilise the club
And theres exactly the reason the Club should make a statement ....
Its obviously illegal if the Club don't know anything about a medical - he is under contract

So what evil doer is trying to destabilise the club? And why? Just for top bants? And what would a hastily written statement achieve?
-
As Heath Ledger's Joker would ask "Why so sorry?" Okay it was Sad! but that doesn't fit in ;) I don't think anymore would have slated Delph for leaving for CL football and to win trophies except if he does now! ;)
-

Can't believe I got caught out on the movie quote! Always said the Dark Knight was overrated anyway lol!

Fuck me and I thought we burnt this thread to the ground.

Someone is seriously trying to destabilise the club
I reckon it's Trevor Francis, the bastard.

Fuck me and I thought we burnt this thread to the ground.
You just wait till he does the next U-Turn and retires from Football for a career in the West End...
-
Was only saying last week what a raucous reception he would get when his name is read out for the first time at VP
This could be better than Downing + Young + Barry playing for the Bitters

Bono, he's had his people read what we say about him and he's out for revenge.
-
If Bono acted like a ****** around everyone that thinks he's a ******, he'd have to act like a ****** all the time. Which he does. So, err... not sure what point I was making.
Oh, I've remembered.
Bono's a ******.
So's Delph, if the rumours are true.
-
Delph is worse if this is true - he's just like everyone else...
-
I'm with the OP.....Delph is nothing more than a c***!
Our club is,once again,looking like a laughing stock!
-
Just another greedy ******. Hope he breaks his legs before the season starts.
It's going to be a very rough season
-
We are talking about our Club captain here ....... either he is in Manchester with the full knowledge of the Club so be open and issue a statement or its an illegal approach
Or.....he's not in Manchester at all and this is all bollocks.
My take on it, too
-

I think it's delph that comes out of all of this looking like an idiot.
-
Not sure if mentioned elsewhere but expectant father seen in hospital in the north ?????
-
He's gone.
-
Enjoy the money delph, because you are finished as a player. A season of warming a bench at best, followed by various loan spells at clubs like Sunderland and west ham. And, you're a lying cun*
-
Popped into PaddyPower in town to check the Ashes score and they had SSN on....I must've stood staring at the screen for a good two minutes when I noticed the news scrolled along the yellow....disbelief was not the word.
I sort of understood his position a week ago but staying, giving out another statement and then leaving again, he's in thw Hodge category for me now and deserves all the stick coming his way.
-
******.
-
Can't believe I stood by him the first time the rumours came around. I'm obviously the most gullible person ever. This whole thing makes me a bit miserable.
He's a ******.
-
Yep the biggest ****** in the history of the club. What a fucking lying scumbag.
-
Sorry, Fabian, that I told you to f**k off and called you a c**t on another thread yesterday evening, but I still think that you need to grow some longer legs.
Apology rescinded, you short-arsed, stumpy legged c**t. F**k off.

You're not gullible, you just had more faith in his integrity than he has.
-
A MASSIVE apology to Fabian Delph. Sports journalism is beyond a joke at the moment. Pathetic from the BBC and SSN, amongst others.
Retracted. You fucking wanker, Delph.
-
at the moment the only man in football to make Ireland look like a normal human being
-
I haven't contributed to this thread yet. Fabian Delph. You're a ******. Fuck off and die.
-
The utter cynicism of the ****** is what makes it so galling.
-
Ooh you little cun*
You don't honestly think you'll play at Man City do you?
I'm not that bothered, we got £8m and that's enough to find a comparable replacement. Fuck him.
-
Oh, that makes it better then, you fucking ******.

They upped the money then. Your comments will eat away at you forever.

Good move Fabian, well done.

SUCK COCK YOU PIECE OF SHIT, MOTHER FUCKING BITCH.
in all honesty delph your a bit of a c*** aren't you.
kill yourself
As angry posts go, that's over the top. He's not Fred West.
-
That's going a bit too far.
-
Yep too far.
-
I saw the above posts and assumed someone had wished for a re-occurrence of his cruciate ligament five minutes into his debut but I see someone went even further.
My attitude is the same one I have for anyone else in the squad - if you think you can do better, then fuck off.
With the players we're being linked with, for once I think we're better positioned to replace people than perhaps we ever have been. Let's form a squad of quality players who want to play for the shirt and are all 100% committed to the cause.
-
Well at least we can look forward to this shit all over again the next time one of our players starts doing alright. What a fucking shitshow.
-
I love bringing my boy to games and its great seeing families at football....
...but maybe it's best on November 7th that we leave the little ones at home?
-
Integrity of a footballer - R.I.P.
I could have accepted it if earlier in the year he had said I am not signing another contract and will be leaving at the end of the season but to shit on us not once, but twice.
You two-faced little twat.

True. This goes on as long as the club is owned by some reasonable person, someone who actually cares about money. Until we get an owner who doesn't give a **** about profits or losses we'll keep losing our best players. Cold fact.
-
Just me looking forward too the make up sex?
No me as well.
Maybe this caused the U turn?

I woulnt worry about it too much.
The wanker will either be 'injured' or so far back on the bench we won't see the weasleing omnicunt.
-
The last remaining nanoparticle of my being that had any faith in the general integrity of footballers has just been taken out and buggered with a prize-winning marrow.
-
Makes your eyes water doesn't it.

I guess we will see on 7th November what those on the pitch think ................ I recall couple of great tackles from Clark last year ........... shame if he mistimed one of those on the City 18 !!

If you think they're anything but all mates together you probably think there's loyalty in football.
-
Was I disappointed he was going last week - yes, but replacable
Was I happy he was staying - of course, what a refreshing attitude
What do I think today - he's let nobody down but himself. Bright lights, big city...could be the next Wayne Bridge.
We'll dust ourselves down & move on.
-

Dangerously close to 'and we go again'.
-
Just back from the pub. He's still a ******.
-
I think I'd have a slight smirk on my face if Delph just so happened to suffer a career threatening injury, leaving him on the sidelines for 5 years or more, and City having to pick up the tab for his extortionate wages. Justice be done.

He's only embarrassed himself. First class clown.

Fabian Delphs a w*nker, he wears a w*nkers hat,
He said that he was loyal, but he’s a lying tw*t,
“There’s loyalty in football” that is what he said,
But now all we want Ciaran Clark, to kick him in the head
ohhhhh

I wouldn't wish a career threatening injury on him. If his Man City career goes the same way as Sinclair's did, then I wouldn't be too upset.
-
Apparently Tim Sherwood had a word with Delph when he originally turned down Man City:
TS- I hear you've turned down Man City, Delphy?
FD- Yeh, I signed a new contract last year and feel I should honour it.
TS- Erm, thing is Delphy, I don't think you're going to be good enough for my Villa team, so If I were you I'd phone them back.

After stamping my foot and tutting a lot last night, I'm now determined to get on and enjoy my life so I'm off to the JQ festival.

Going to be a tasty atmosphere at the Man. City game next season.
I don't normally go to games at home to the Manchester clubs anymore but we do on occasions still turn over Man. City at home so not a complete write off game.
And the stick he'll get will be 5 times worse than what Barry received. Infact I remember reading on here Barry was so affected by the abuse he got first time back he was asking to be taken off.
-
I already don't think he'll play. They'll either rest him or he'll not make the squad as he'll be deemed not good enough by then.

He probably won't even be on the bench . Spineless weasel.

Me too, do like the simplicity of the 'going up, going down' one on the other thread as well but this is genius!

He'll play if it's either side of a champions league fixture.

Not if he's injured or suspended which is probably a 50/50 scenario

Quite something for Delph to be the least popular person at Everton right now.

Bit harsh on Rafa even with his Liverpool connections. ;)

He's genuinely my most hated ex-Villa player. Which is saying something considering Stewart Downing used to play for us.
What an absolute prick.
-
What a D**k H**d.
-
Well, what an unmitigated piece of shit.
-
Snake believes vaccine is snake oil…..hahahaha
-
I'm sure we'll see a post in a few days saying he was wrong and he's now having his jabs.
-
He's a dick, but focusing on him misses the main point...
That is the worst attempt at written journalism I've seen, which is obviously way more of a crime than Covid denying or leaving the Villa. It's certainly a conspiracy theory to believe that editor is capable of doing the job they were designed to do.
-
I thought he would have quit his social media after the awful rumours last week about it being him who was the footballer arrested for child sex offences.

I don't see why he should quit social media when anybody slightly interested would know by now that those rumours did not involve him.

He should put a call into Steve Cotterill. He may learn a thing or two.

I don't think he should quit either. But I would have understood if he had due to all the people twittering about him in relation to it.
-
Had a bit of insomnia last night so I did the sensible thing by reading this thread from the start and it is pretty hilarious. The apologies from everyone for calling him a c*** to then trying to find an even more elaborate way to call him a c*** really tickled me.
-
Judging from his past record, we can expect him to have the jab next week.
I can't take credit for this. I saw this on a brilliant tweet yesterday.
-
I would argue that it probably explains all his injuries and length of time out as he must have relied on his bodies healing abilities rather then having operations or taking medicines.

Whoops sorry! (Facepalm)
-
He is a twat, obviously.
Though one potentially interesting point, as you will need to have had both vaccinations to get into PL grounds in October, presumably if he, or any other players refuses, they cannot play and can be sacked without compensation for not fulfilling their contract.
I appreciate that Delph doesn't necessarily get that much playing time, though he will be often on the bench or in the stand. UTV.

Now *that* is an interesting question. I presume Piers Morgan has already embarrassed himself on the fan-jab topic, having proved beyond any doubt (if there was any) what an unpleasant character he is in the Simone Biles withdrawal.

Duck Hard?

Why is there a Sorry in the title of this thread? Who's sorry for Fabian Delph, come on, hands up?

It's because he was a c***, then wasn't a c*** so people apologised and then he was a c*** again.

Having the vaccine should always be a personal choice. But the implications of not having it are not limited to yourself. Likewise some people are unable to comprehend that you wearing a mask is to protect them & not yourself.
I've never bought into this Delph hatred thing, as he could have left for nothing.
