I know he's a streak of piss but I'm afraid he's a cheat, dives better than Tom Daley and moans like hell at every opportunity. Saying all that I had to defend him, and me, when awarding him the MOTM against West Ham. Its a sad fact but football changed when the rules changed and you couldn't tackle anyone with any commitment.From what I remember in the 80's nobody was booked for diving, you went down because Allan Evans hacked you down and you got up off your arse to get it back, not rolled around crying like a fucking baby. I'm going to bed. The bungy dump rope analogy makes no sense at all in this context and you seem to be crying like a fucking baby yourself.I'm at ease with my analogy thanks. May I suggest you lay off the Stella.

I am sick and tired of modern day players, whether it by Young, Rooney, Heskey or Lionel Messi giving foul mouthed rants to officials - whether they play for Villa or not.
For those who are happy for Ashley to leave, here is some stats for you (Premier League Only)(Assists/Goals - Total Villa Goals - % goals Ash responsible for)2010/11 - 10/7 - 45 - 37.8%2009/10 - 10/5 - 52 - 28.8%2008/09 - 9/7 - 54 - 29.6%2007/08 - 17/8 - 71 - 35.2%
I just pointed out that he shouted "fuck off" at someone when he scored and wondered if anyone knew who he was looking at when he did that (it was someone off camera).
I know. Seems though that many have been offended by it though. Pathetic really.
I don't want a generation of kids who think shouting 'fuck off' when they do something good at work is acceptable.
Who really, really gives a fuck beyond giving them another reason to say "well, he was shit, and he was a bad influence" when he moves to a club in a much better position this summer? After a season of being spoon fed a heap of shit week in week out by Aston Villa, I can think of 1000 things more worthy of moans than a player swearing at another one.

Pathetic really.I'm sorry SH but it is not 'pathetic' to expect someone who has a wonderful lifestyle, a job any of us would give our left arm for, and is paid obscene amounts of money to be a role model to kids to behave like a professional and not scream profanities at his colleagues in the full gaze of the watching world.For large parts of this season he's been the club's captain and that sort of behaviour is nothing like what should be expected of Aston Villa's captain.There will be kids who've watched that who will want to emulate their hero. I don't want a generation of kids who think shouting 'fuck off' when they do something good at work is acceptable. Rooney apologised when he did it directly into a camera. Although I'm not saying Ash should publicly apologise the principle that he's done something wrong is exactly the same.
