Let me see if I can explain to you. When you watch on TV you get the views they choose to show in following the ball. Analysts with their gizmos have access to every camera angle most of which are not broadcast during the game. Therefore if I had access to this and could be arsed to waste more of my time I could answer your silly questions by showing you how on 62 minutes against Wolves Gabby made a run taking the right back away to make space for Warnock, for example. If I just posted the same you'd just call me a liar and carry on stereotyping the player.

Only you could take a thread started to celebrate one of our favourite players and turn into something so dull. You must feel very proud. So, can we please just drop it because I think most people are losing the will to live having to wade through this.

Chris, can you find every time KT has demanded examples on other threads  and quote them here. Otherwise your point won't count.

If you think the above makes any sense, or is remotely amusing, or even minutely relevant to anything that has gone before, then it's little  wonder normal people seem mental to you.

We call them 'norms'.

Can you clear something up for me, oh normal one?  How is me saying you "sound a bit mental" different to you just implying I am abnormal, or comparing me to someone who cannot be trusted with sharp objects as if I have learning difficulties?

I appreciate Gabby for being loyal to Villa and always trying to give his best.

He has an eye for goal and has scored some crucial ones for us, and don't forget how fast he is !

I didn't really need to imply anything, your posts speak (so to speak, as they appear to be mostly irrelevant and incomprehensible) for themselves.  Still trying to work out what Marlon Harewood has got to do with anything.

So you were flat out calling me an abnormal person who suffers with learning difficulties for a laugh?  Shall I call the mods? ;)

I think Harewood is as relevant to this thread as Petrov is. And you've mentioned him more than I've mentioned Marlon.

Sure we can drop it now we're agreed, it is possible to see Gabby's runs on TV.

I think the word you're looking for, Ryu, is hypocrite.

Yes, KT, I agree that if the post match analyst decides to focus on it with is fancy gizmo you will be able to see it on TV.

You really have sucked all of the joy out of what was a good thread.

Even if Gabby isn't as good or in some cases is as poor as a few Villa supporters might think I bet there are fans of other prem teams and management of other Prem teams who would love to have him in their team/squad.  The noteable ones being Arsenal and Everton.

We should be grateful to have him.  He isn't the best striker in the world but he also isn't the worst.  I'd much rather have him than, Owen, Berbatov, Zamora, Crouch, Bendtner, Torres, Carroll (as he is now), Doyle and lots of others.

Ryu, would love to argue further but I'm going to invoke John M's signature quote and leave it there.

You really are one cowardly little man. You pretend that you're leaving it there but taking the opportunity to have another dig shortly after trying to tell tales to the mods.
