TBF, if the M1 is closed/jammed then what's he supposed to do? I'm sure plenty of posters on here have set off to work to find their route buggered and all you can do is phone and give your apologies. It's a bit different to turning up late because he stayed in bed or simply couldn't be arsed.
He might add that it's never happened before and you could live in B'ham or its surrounding area and get caught in a traffic jam.

Live closer like the rest of the players, then he would have been on time like they were. 

You can't have one rule for one and one rule for the rest.

It would seem that none of the others got caught in the traffic jam.

But that wasn't the point I was making was it. Next time it could be and then they will be dropped too. My point is that you can caught in traffic whether you live 20 mins away or 2 hours.

But the further away you live, the higher your chances of being caught in a traffic jam. And if you've previously been told by your boss to live closer and ignored him, then you can understand why he might be a bit annoyed, can't you.

I can't believe in a million years that this is simply that he was a few minutes late for one training session, especially after the rumours earlier in the season.

Lowton has tried to undermine Lambert & that cannot be tolerated. Who does he think he is ?

Disagree UKTS, Lowton is an absolute liability at RB, Bacuna was very good defensively yday.
apart from the 2 or 3 times (that i saw) in the last 20 mins when he gave the ball away cheaply, one of which could have been very costly near the end. Always makes me nervous when the ball and opposition are in our RB area.

I do quite like the Twitter picture of his girlfriend bending forwards in a bikini. Sorry, I meant to say a friend of mine has seen it and says he quite likes it.

Do the Dutch even play snooker?  Vlaar must be bored to tears.

I've seen him at snooker before watching jimmy white at bedworth civic hall- seems to be a big fan.

He loves snooker. My mate fitted a table at his house in Wishaw. Good few grands worth. He's been back since to buy extra cues

Maybe they were the long cues that made Lowton late

Lowton needs to be careful he doesn't waste his big break at Villa.

Or he will be forced to train in a "No, Dad" waistcoat.

So long as he doesn't baulk next time he sees Lambert in training.

They are keen watchers and players. Not many pro's thus far. I have played a few times in Holland - fair number of local clubs.

Are you being serious?

I actually feel quite sorry for Lowton. It's not his fault there was a traffic jam.
