Joleon Lescott - GONE

[UK Redsox]

Villa can't afFord to be Reliant on Lescott any more. If Remi could, I'm sure he'd sell the player now

[dave shelley]

One or two might have to think about that one UKR.

If it does nothing else this debacle shows that Lescott was and probably remains at the core of the dressing room rebellion against managerial authority.  Dave Woodhall in his excellent piece 'Over the Press-ipice' suggests that something has happened in recent days to destroy the green shoots of better organisation and better morale.  Could it be the flare up of the old anti-european, pro-Sherwood battles?

Wycombe and the chewinggumgate offered some clues, as did the laughing hyenas Christmas message and the alleged French only on the team bus back from Newcastle.  The dressing room malcontents appear to have Lescott, Richards, Guzan and Agbonlahor as their leaders.  Did Gabby's return out of the cold and his collector's piece goal last week put Remi on the back foot and give new heart to the dressing room rebels?   Lescott's fan goading tweets within minutes of a horrendous defeat for which he was jointly culpable seem to suggest that the spirit of Sherwood in the dressing room is alive and well.

That santa video did it for me regarding Guzan and Richards. Richards came across as a fucking tit of the highest order. Wanker. Guzan came across as a chavvy twat...woeful.
Gabby too. Twat.

Fuck the lot of them. The only players I feel remotely sorry for are Gueye,Bunn,Veretout,Amavi,Ayew...the rest can fucking rot. I feel for Gil,Kozak,Cissohko and any untried youngster,too.

What a sorry state of affairs. Lescott....deary me. Okore....sigh. please just disappear. I thought Okore was diabolical yesterday. His comments beforehand. I hope he leaves. Crap

Shit

I have been up for hours, I have sat on my phone, lay on it, danced around it, but all to no avail, if I want to post something I have to press the buttons myself.

[brian green]

Agree Axi.  If one moment sums up the tragic ineptitude of that game it was Okore trying to shepherd a static ball over the line for a goal kick. Every brain cell of every Villa spectator was screaming at him to put the ball out for a throw.  His brain cell first told him that the static ball might start rolling again then when it didn't he decided to try to dribble it and lost possession.   We have filled an aircraft hangar sized Hall of Shame of Soft Goals but that one gets a special podium of its own.

[brian green]

Kuwait, you must fill your pocket with cash, pictures of your model wife, the keys to your big house and the keys to your cars. Then, and only then, insert your phone in your pocket, give high fives to Richards, Gabby, Guzan, laugh loudly, slap your thigh with mirth and the assembled accoutrements of your wealth lodged in your pocket will fortuitously press your phone keys and send your Fuck You message.

[mr underhill]

if only all these brain dead fuckers had chosen an alternative career path - like politics or something - we'd be fine.

[pbavfckuwait]

Will two pence peices do it Brian if not I'm fuuuucckkkeeddd

[brian green]

2p or not 2p.  That is the question.

[mr underhill]

well, now is the winter of our discontent and it shows no sign of turning into a  glorious summer

[placeforparks]

They were no doubt told that last weeks performance wasn't good enough despite the win (Garde said so after the match and in Friday's press conference), and no doubt this irked one or two of them for not getting the credit they deserved, or a new contract.

So I think you might be onto something.

Is it wrong to admit I laughed when I saw him doing that.

[Dave Cooper please]

If he was going to post a picture of something he would never have got near too if he hadn't been a footballer he could have at least posted a picture of his model wife.
At least then we could have had a wank.
