If he'd read what was posted when Gabby was award *that* four year contract, then he'd perhaps know it as Hysteria & Vexatious. However, much of what was said has come to pass. No hindsight involved.

Exactly. Who has so much time on their hands they can afford to waste it whinging about an internet message board?!

I gave him a clap at the end when he made his short speech.

I'm aware of hour sour it's turned, but is over now and if I am to dwell on his time, I'd rather dwell on the positive.

I was at Goodison for his debut and remember thinking this lad could be something special. Ultimately he’ll look back at his career wondering ‘what if’, but I thank him for the memories and wish him well.

Did he have a better career than Vassell?

What do we reckon to that?

I saw him at Wembley, playing for England.  The pinnacle of his career.  Sadly, it was all downhill after that, certainly after MON left the club.

Nope, comparing records would be interesting.

I was out working in the garden this afternoon and found myself thinking about Agbonlahor.  What I found somewhat disconcerting was, for a short time I actually found myself feeling sorry for him, a complete wasted opportunity to become one of the all-time Villa heroes.  I then came back to reality and thought, fuck him!

He was never that bothered about England. Capello thought he was a player and kept calling him up but he must've pulled out of 3 or 4 squads. Also missed the under 21 tournament in 2007 I think.

Sadly that indifference transfered to his club career shortly afterwards.
