That's the badger!

I'd like to thank Ashley Young from the bottom of my heart for that goal. One minute I was chucking a water bottle and kicking the wooden seats, imagining doing something murderous to the Scouse hordes. The next I was embraced in the biggest man hug/fall over the seats style celebration ever.

Pure joy.

I don't have a problem with Ashley leaving, he's going to the champions that is fair enough.

Agreed.You can't begrudge him that and it seems we are going to get a decent fee too.

Yeah the Everton goal is one of a very decent number of good memories he leaves me with.  He did flatter to decieve quite a lot, but then how hard he worked was often over looked as well.

Always disappointing to loose a good player, but this has been inevitable for months and it's just the way things are.

You are either Marlon Harewood or Emile Heskey and I claim my £10.

Ash leaves with my blessing, unfortunately he's outgrown us now and needs to be playing Champions League and we're a way from even challenging for that.

Never asked for a move despite all the years of speculation, kept his head down and 100% every Saturday. Ash and Gab were great galloping down the left side together in 2008/09, just a shame we never saw that challenge through.

Cracking player who we'll miss more than Barry or Jimmy IMO.
Well said. A great player who deserves to play for a bigger club. Best of luck to him.

I was in the 'office', watching it on the internet. Everton equalised and I had my head in my hands. Mrs. Legion came in and said someone has just scored again. I replied that I already bloody well knew then watched the time-delayed proceedings. I'm still apologising to the neighbours for my exuberant outburst.

Guess who was sitting on the next table to me in Nandos last night?













Ash and Gabby!

Both are nice lads, good friends it seems. I'm sure Gabby will miss Ash when he's off to United I can't even remember the last night time I felt upset but at the same time pleased for a player leaving Villa to go onto greater things. Ash is pure class, we'll miss him next season :(

Defining moment this, Ash has provided some great times at the club, and just for a short time this duo being him and Gabby where a delight to watch, and wasn't it fantastic looking at after match comments from other Prem managers commenting when you have players like Ash and Gabby you have a top quality players to deal with, most of all we came that close to making the break through.

As someone else commented, hope this isn't the start of us losing others valuable players

Cant blame Ashley Young for this. He is going for the right sort of reasons.
One half of Manchester you go to for the money, another half you go to for the trophies (and money too of course).

Always gave 100%, if anything over the last 18 months he was probably trying too hard. If he can find the type of form he had around Xmas 2009, the price will be a bargain. I have no doubt Fergie will bring some discipline back to his game and the talent will shine through again.

As long as he doesn't score against us, I'll wish him well. After all the injury free time he's had with us, he'll probably need it.
