Culverhouse and Karsa suspended (Now both sacked: Reply #876)

[Chico Hamilton III]

My old man trains with a bloke who speaks regularly to Bertrand, he said a few days before the Palace game that the dressing room's been completely lost and that Albrighton came home on the train on his own after Saturday due to a falling out with Culverhouse.

The one thing I have with that is why would a footballer with plenty of spare cash catch a train? He could have bought a helicopter. Or a jet fighter. And why do no Villa fans seem to have seen him on the traindespite, i'm assuming, some would be on the same one.

I can't swear to it's credibility, just passing what I heard on. I do know that the bloke genuinely knows Bertrand well but for all I know it could be a case of Chinese whispers or what have you.

I can fully believe all of it. Just the train bit seems a bit strange. I know if I was on that kind of money i'd have found a commoner  to piggyback me all the to Brum.

The problem I have with it is that I don't believe that a cosseted footballer would know how to catch a train without a grown up to look after him.

After the last game of last season at Wigan, a few of us London Lions wobbled up to Wigan station a few hours after the final whistle and Shay Given was in the waiting room in full Villa track suit. He got our train back to London. He let on to us all but made it clear by sticking his headphones on that he didn't want to talk. Mind you, I doubt if I'd want to talk to half a dozen pissed up football fans. We were saying at the time that he must've had a row and walked out of the dressing room.  A few weeks later the talk of him moving to Doncaster was all over the papers.

Perhaps he is proud that he used to have a station named after him.   Good pub quiz question that.   How many professional footballers have the same names as railway stations?

[silhillvilla]

What do you reckon, is he a window seat man?

Reckon he's like the guy with a 4 pack of Mackewens Bitter who you try not to make eye contact with for 2 hours

I always thought Marc could be (admittedly) a poor man's Sid. Maybe one will now get the chance to bring the best out of the other? Let's hope so.

From what I have been made aware, from a significant first team player, nothing has happened to cause this.

Not exactly an exclusive I know. But I have previous.

Grant Holt ?

Quote 'Culverhouse and Karsa have been suspended by the club pending an internal enquiry'.  Must be serious for Lambert's two favourite people to get suspended!

The poster clearly states that Albrighton was on the train on his own.

Dunno. I bet Randy Lerner always goes in the quiet carriage though.

Nah, he doesn't actually go to the station any more.

He sits at home playing Train Simulator.

He still loves trains though, don't worry, train fans!!!
