Gabby Agbonlahor

[Tayls_7]

Players who impress most and work hard can reasonably expect the squad to be selected on merit. We shouldn't be seeing the fat simpleton this afternoon.

I'll applaud him getting his award because what's done is done and i'll cheer if he comes on and scores. Truth is though, this day should have happened a couple of seasons ago.

Gabby's career sums up the plight of the club in the past few years, lots of potential but ultimately very little reward in return and a massive disappointment. As for receiving an award, he's had one every year in the form of a contract, doesn't deserve a plaque today or even a send off.

Looking at Gabby I can see both sides.
It's just that these days I have to take a step either way to do it.

Agree with every word of this. It’s probably a couple of years overdue.
All negatives aside he’s scored some killer goals for us.

Sorry he can fuck off. A lazy fucking twat dining out on goals long since scored. Contributed in no small part to the club's decline in recent years.

If he was the player who he could and should have been, he'd be having his farewell this afternoon wearing the kit and be part of a team celebrating the Football League Championship.

No, scrub that. If he was the player he could and should have been, we wouldn't be in the Football League.

A totem of our decline and fall: good riddance.

There is no way he should be getting any award..
He should be slipping quietly away and allowing time to erase the bad and remember the good.

Regards turning up to see this bloke’s farewell appearance I refer to a friend of mine’s habitual insistence that he go to the airport to wave of his in-laws when they were going on holiday.

‘Why do you always do that Dad?’ his son would ask.

‘Just to make sure they’ve gone lad’ he would reply.

To this end I expect a full house and queues around the block for Gabby’s last showing.

Indeed - if we him again, to quote Blackadder, it'll be 20bn years too soon. I suspect a Sky appearance the next time we play the Knuckledraggers.

[Malandro]

It's a good day for the club.

It's a good day for the club.

Yes like when the Guildford 4 were released, it was a great day for British Justice. It was just too many fucking years too late.

No sentiment.  The Manager has a job to do in getting things right for the Play-offs.  Agbonlahor has had his day. Even if Villa are winning easily against Derby this afternoon, Keinan Davis deserves his chance and, for me, would be on the bench ahead of flabby.  He got paid handsomely to do a job and failed to do it.  Whilst none of us can blame Gabby Agbonlahor (and that other waster Richards) for all of the demise of the club and the loss of our Premier Division status, he is a symbol of the misery that we have faced.  He can join in with the lap of appreciation but I won't be impressed if he is on the bench or in the side.
