I can now say, without being disloyal, that I fucking hate Ian Culverhouse. What a loathsome shithouse.

That's how I felt about him as a player - not in the Dennis Wise or Colin Hendry league but pretty close.

I'm going to join Twitter so as I can follow this avfcforever1982 fella. Sounds like he knows the score.

I wonder if any of us liked him? Always struck me as a bit of a twat if i'm honest.

Point taken, paulie. I'll freely admit that I don't really understand how it works or see the point in it. I'll shut up now as I'm obviously out of my depth here. Apologies from an old(-ish) man.

Performances may now improve now a problem has gone away -  but shouldn't players play for the interests of the club anyway rather than to make a point or a statement?  This seems to have been overlooked.

Sorry, Leeg, I hadn't even noticed you'd mentioned twitter, was just a reaction to reading the whole thread.

Thank you, but there's no need to apologise. My post still stands. I genuinely don't understand or 'get' Twitter. I am quite open-minded and happy to be put right about things.

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.

The best thing about Twitter is that I once wrote a Perl script to post to it remotely. The sense of achievement was better than average.

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.

Maybe he wore a disguise on the train.

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.

Maybe a Groucho Marx disguise. All he'd need is the glasses and tache.
