Joleon Lescott - GONE

[Jon Crofts]

What did Klopp say?

Something along the lines of 'today is not a day to sing songs.  Aston Villa are a great football club going through a difficult time' or words to that effect.

I've said it all along; His appointment just didn't feel right from the off - all those years of chest thumping and badge kissing at Everton when he scored/beat us.

Surely he will be finished after this twitter post.  I'd sooner see a youngster given some experience for next season.

I find this desire to throw youngsters into to our current situation quite odd. If we have any hope for these youngsters we shouldn't want them anywhere near the team at the moment. They need to be protected from what is to come.

If we want to protect the kids I think we should make N'Zogbia play just so he does something for all the money he is getting.

Make him play in goal or better still he can be a ball boy.

Or in other words, having been involved in English football for two minutes he has more of a handle on what the name Aston Villa means than do the club's owner, most of his executive appointments and certainly many of the itinerant millionaires who have disgraced the colours in recent years.

I heard that Klopp clip and I thought to myself "Is he on a horse?"

it's the way you tell 'em your reverence

Reluctant as I am to defend the daft Klingon, could it be a scenario where he has aimed to share that image to friend on a smartphone, and rather than sharing it via gmail or viber or whatever, he selected twitter.

I could see it happening, if his hand/eye coordination are anything like the rest of his general lack of coordination.

Baker, Bennett, Robinson and Gardner may be not be prem class but I dont think we would ever argue with their committment. Are any of these available for recall? Would be good prep for next year as well.

It's trivial bullshit but it sums up a lot of things that ail us in one incident. Lack of commitment and focus on your job, lack of caring enough, obsession with the trappings of being a footballer rather than concentrating on being a footballer, lack of respect for the fans, being removed from reality and now failing to take responsibility for mistakes.

Heard it being discussed on Talksport earlier.  The cynic in me, says it was a response to all the 'haterz' for daring to criticise his performance.  If that is the case, it just goes to show the mentality of that type of footballer.  Instead of posting pictures of his league title medal or his England caps in response to criticism, he posts a picture of a car.

Sidwell's theorem of the linear relationship between footballing ability and game time being inversely proportional to positive interventions as a ball boy?

Joleon, Joleon, don't take your love to town

[pbavfckuwait]

Professional footballer in pisses supporters off because he just does not give a shit, well there's a surprise.

[brian green]

VID, Sidwell's Theorem regrettably cannot function in isolation without  factoring in Kozak's First Law of Active Duration.  N'Zogbia's yield of physical presence benefit can only be measured when the number of functions as a ball boy are defined against durations between those functions.

In the layman's language of Woodhall's observation to whit, the less something is done the better it appears to be being done.
