He's entitled to his own revisionism and POV as regards the merits of the worst Villa team most of us will hopefully ever see. He was little more that a vastly overpaid court jester during his time with us by the sounds of it. No argument at all from me on that one. But it's interesting that he at least seems to feel bad about how it all turned out - and wishes he had a game or two for this current side to show his worth. Compare and contrast to the likes of Platt, Keown and Ray Houghton. Who achieved far more in a Villa shirt. But seem to view their time with us as a grind. On the rare occasions they ever speak about us at all.
Guess it depends if you want to believe Micah Richards or Keir Wyness I guess
Richards responded with: "What rubbish from your Keith! YOU GOT ME FOR FREE....knew my knee couldn’t do 2 games a week in the champ and had a chance to get me off the wage bill!! Did I or did I not come to office to your office on deadline Day?"Richards came back again with: "THE POINT IS... I WAS THE SCAPEGOAT AND GOT ACCUSED OF BLEEDING THE CLUB DRY WHEN IN FACT I TRIED TO LEAVE 3 TIMES. HAD ABUSE EVER SINCE WHILST NOBODY AT THE TIME PROTECTED ME."
The bit that stands out to me from that interview is Smith coming in and calling it exactly how it is (was).
he is a skid-mark on the under-pants of a shitty few years.

I forget the narrative that goes against Richards’ innocent bystander shtick; realising I missed this from February Quote from: BC Villain on October 02, 2021, 01:51:10 PMGuess it depends if you want to believe Micah Richards or Keir Wyness I guessQuoteRichards responded with: "What rubbish from your Keir!

Dion Dublin should be the benchmark for any player to get into punditry. Informative, knowledgeable and total understanding of the game and its players.
I don’t mind him as a pundit. He isn’t great but it’s time the BBC shake it a bit. Time for Gary and Alan to move on. They have bored the shit out me for years.

He must be older now than what Jimmy Hill was when Des Lynam replaced him.
