I think if he'd started he wouldn't have been booed It was the fact he was considered our best option when we were 0-4 down. It was sheer and utter frustration and with his " honest" comments he made himself an easy target.
In truth I'm surprised almost every player isn't getting booed.

There were a few renditions of you're not fit to wear the shirt, but Richards and Lescott were looking round wondering who it was aimed at.

I'm surprised Richards didn't get a bit more stick yesterday after calling a fan a clown in the week and although he hasn't come out and said it, you can bet he's already got his agent putting his name around a few clubs for next season.

We were only ever a stepping stone for Richards.  He had his moves away from us the day he came.  Thought he would be the new centre back sensation with the help of his little friend Timmy.  Bacuna is just stupid, lazy, cowardly and puts his boots on the wrong feet.  Richards is much worse, his agenda is Villa payback for not facilitating his plans.  See above.

Anything we get, in cash terms for him, is an absolute bonus. How he ever played for England is beyond me.  I agree with you by the way.  Such a poor player he has turned out to be. Dreadful representative of our football club.

I hope Richards has talked himself into a move. If his agent can get that malingering wanker a new payday off the back of his lack of talent, he could sell ice to eskimos.

I've said this before i'm sure but the first 6-7 games, I thought he was outstanding but the interest seemed to go when Sherwood went. Is it any wonder we let in goals when we have him and Hutton in the same defence?

Here's what he said Whatever way you look at it , it's deluded given he is shit

“Within two years now I try to make my next move. Where this is going to be, I don’t know at the moment, but I want to grow in two years,” Bacuna revealed to Netherlands broadcasters NOS.


“That does not necessarily have to be in England.

“Ajax or PSV? I think so. If you look at those clubs, they play Champions League football almost every year. If you do you get a chance, why not?”

Deluded or not, he's giving the stock response to the question he's just been asked. 

He's obviously not going to answer "you're joking aren't you? Why would they want to sign me, I'm rubbish".

"I'd love to play in the Champions League, who wouldn't? But at the moment all my attentions are on trying to stay in the Premier League with Aston Villa. I've grown up watching teams like Ajax play in the Champions League and sure that's where I want to be and there's time for me to develop. Maybe in a couple of years or so".

It's not too difficult for him to have said the same thing a little bit more sensibly and cleverly.

He did say in two years time though. It's not as if he said he's out the door as soon as we're down. That's where the difference is for me.

There are plenty of players in claret and blue at the moment who are not very good footballers Bacuna being one of them and he deserves dogs abuse for not only being crap but also deluded, but the real hate should be reserved for two players, who not only sum up everything wrong with Aston Villa at the moment, also a sure reflection of what has been wrong for the last 5 years, but Professional Football in general, step forward Richards and Gabby. Hate and despise their attitude and the underhand way they go about their business.
If Lamberts boys Kulver whatever, Keane as well, were really bullies, my god do I wish they were here now, we saw nothing at that time of Gabby on the pitch, but we also did not have to look at the pricks face in the front of papers either.

Richards you're talking about here, he's been rubbish since he joined.  He's a, clumsy, slow, lazy, arrogant, conceited twat of the highest order; and needs to be got rid of as a number one priority.

He deserves dogs abuse for not only being crap but also deluded

I'm sorry but I just don't get this.  I'm sure that during your career you've come across people who don't think you're as good at your job as someone else is at theirs.  I'm sure you don't think that.  Does that make you deluded?

If they then think you're crap and deluded and decide to give you 'dogs abuse' is that going to make you any better at your job?!  Is that going to make anyone around you any better at their job?  Or is everyone just going to think that person's a twat?

If you really want to boo a player for not putting the effort in, being a twat off the pitch, whatever, so be it.  But to boo a player because you don't think he's good enough - it's hardly his fault is it.  He didn't force Villa to sign him, nor does he pick the team.
