Vital winner and pleased for him tonight.
A villa legend ? Certainly not for me - I prefer to class the likes of McGrath and cowans, little in that bracket.
Gabby has  under achieved in the last 3 years , i hope he can chip in with a few goals in the remainder of the season - today's goal may give him that bit of confidence.

Me too, has had change his game in recent years, no longer plays on the shoulder of the last defender and sometimes spend more time defending our box than attacking the oppositions.

But when it counts, he comes up with the goods.

I think he deserves the credit. Local lad, villa through and through, gone on to represent England whilst playing for the club. You know you always get 100% from the guy.

Erdington's own special boy
Author of so much Villa joy
A hungry heart, keen to learn
An eye for goal, pace to burn
He'll always be my Villa babby
My one and only super Gabby

I love him. It makes me laugh some can't see what he brings to the side other than goals.

Gab's quality. Love him. He works so hard. He is frustrating at times, but people write him off so quickly. He'll still be here next season, and he'll always give his all. I think when it matters too, he just seems to pop up with a key goal or two. He's not been all that bad this season. What is it, 5 goals in all comps? Not brilliant but not terrible having played in midfield. I fancy he'll pop up with a couple more important goals before the season's out. His wide play also isn't as terrible as some make out either.
He's Mr Villa. I'd hate to see him go to be honest. There's little point too. This summer would be the last chance really to get any sort of reasonable fee for him and I think he's got more to offer this club still. There's always that hope too that whoever is in charge next season might just get him back to his best. If that's Lambert, who knows.

Great goal today but for me he doesn't produce week in week out. 16 gals in 3 seasons isn't enough.

Certainly isn't much by Gabby's standards. Allegedly.

Yep, we're a far better team when he's playing.

Gabby always seems to get the big goals when they count. That's why he should play every game from now till the season ends.
