Been a bit disappointed with Bent so far this season, I know he's had a few knocks to deal with but he really hasn't picked up from where he left off last season.

The positive spin from that is that it's given Gabby the chance to step up to the plate and bang in the goals.

Really think we forgot how to use Gabby. Last couple of managers have messed him about with sill positions and not giving him the right service. We stopped playing balls in behind or down the sides of defenders and it limited his potency. At least AMc has the nouse to use him properly. His goal and assist today was a result of a pass that isolated him against a defender who knew what was coming. We haven't done that since Barry left, long may it continue.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Not good enough for England, not good enough for a top 4 side, but good enough to go down in our history as player that gave his all for the club, and played some great matches along the way.

We're as good as it gets for Gabby, and he knows it, and appreciates that fact. That's not a criticism, being as good as it gets at Villa means you're a very good player (despite what others may think). I think it's because he appreciates he won't play for a bigger club than us, he gives it all that he's got.

He'll have his bad periods, but at the moment he's looking really good, and long may it continue.

He'll achieve at Villa what Barry could've had.

Based on his current form, he is good enough for England allright.

There were many similar comments on this site about Ashley Young.

Yet again, thanks Gabby.

Gabby Agbonlahor wants to take another step towards a historic scoring record this weekend - and knock Dwight Yorke off top spot in the goal charts.

Agbonlahor currently lies second in the all-time Villa Premier League chart with 51 goals, nine behind the Calypso King."

Make that now seven.

It would be great if we had on the Holte a 'counter' banner, showing the number of goals Gabby has scored until he breaks Yorke's record.

I'd prefer to have one that has his total goals scored, and just add one each time he scores. Then again, i'm a miserable old bastard who generally hates any "Premier League record".

[Phil from the upper holte]

Delighted for him today, he looked like a worldbeater. He's giving it his all and you cant ask for more than that

Premier League first, Total Goals after, yer miserable old bastard! (winky)

[TheSandman]

The Calypso King? Sounds like a Billy Ocean record. Has anyone ever previously called him that?

I agree with PeterWithesShin on the PL record thing. Especially as Yorkie scored a few goals before the PL started. 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Ok, I see your point Zogman, never realised football existed before the Premier League, at least in Yorke's case.

Who is our all time top goalscorer, Billy Walker?

[Dave]

Not good enough for England

Yeah, England is all about the Peter Crouchs and Andy Carrolls.

How a genuinely good player like Gabby hope to compete with lumbering oafs like them?
