Villa players in drunken bust up

[Phil from the upper holte]

GH " I know lads we've got 2 weeks off, now where will we go? La Manga? Marbella? St.Tropez? ..................That's it i've got it................LEICESTERSHIRE...........

I don't think they deserve to go anywhere

[WikiVilla]

2 days in Leicestershire was their punishment

Agreed they should be practising defending set pieces

[Clampy]

I'm in a different place P LImb, we will need to have Collins / Dunne in the middle to deal with the physicality of Doyle

Really? I think Cuellar can deal with this  average stump.

Didn't Carlos have a great game against them earlier this season ?

He was the best player on the pitch that day, and GH dropped him for the next game. It was the first of his cock up's.

We are talking about highly paid adults here not some pimply teenagers. I don't agree with all this bonding bollocks they play football together nearly every week if they can't bond doing that there's something wrong. Supplying free grog is stupid when you have players that have a history of going overboard.

Am I right in thinking they weren't actually arguing with each other? That's the impression I got anyway.

Its portrayed as Players (Collins/Dunne) vs Coaching staff

[ozzjim]

Wonder if the coaching staff made an apt dig that if the pair of them carried out instruction given in training we might be in a better place league wise!

[eastie]

I presume that with both GED and Gary mac away at the time of the row that Sid must have been in charge?

I've been to that Champneys resort. There were lots of photographs of 'celebrity' guests - can't remember who, though Jimmy Saville springs to mind, mainly D list ones, including some footballers. If I ever go again, I'll expect to see photographs of Villa players.

How the  other half live!

Anyway don't expect any pictures of our current crop as you said  they have  photographs of "celebrity guests".

[TheSandman]

I can't help but think this stems from Houllier's comments on 'four year habits' and trying to change our marking system.

[Chris Smith]

I really am fed up of stories like this, there have been far too many this season. On its own it isn't that big a deal but on top of everything else it just adds to the impression of a club in turmoil.

Looks to me like there's a rat in the camp.

Sky should have resurrected 'Dream Team' for this season with Villa being Harchester. I wonder who has been shagging Linda Block/Carla King from Corrie.

[Dante Lavelli]

I agree, there does appear to be someone within Villa's inner circle that is leaking this rubbish. Like others have said the squad appears to be pretty divided by those who support the old regime and those that have bought into the new philosophy.

Just like on here the arguments for and against each case has merits, however we are fans we're allowed to discuss such topics. As paid professionals the players/staff should put aside their own opinions and all pull in the same direction for the good of Aston Villa.

I hope Houllier has the people skills to sort this out.
