Joleon Lescott - GONE

[Locko]

Depends what was said to him, just because he's famous and had a shit game doesn't mean it should be open season for people to say what they want to him. I'm a believer that if you mouth off to someone don't be surprised if they hit back, regardless of who they are.

Someone should direct him to James Blunt's twitter feed, there is a man who dispatches internet trolls with consummate ease. If Lescott has offered someone out on twitter, he's making himself look a proper boneheaded fool. Daft Klingon...

He could regret posting that.   He could be late for training tomorrow because he was unable to get through a crowd of twenty-five thousand blokes queuing up waiting to punch his fucking lights out.

That really made me smile 😊. Cheers

Lescott was asked why he hasn't deleted the picture of the Mercedes from his Twitter account.

He replied: “Why delete it? It happened so I've gotta deal with it. Shall I just delete Sunday's game No it happened so I have gotta deal with it.”

That's fair enough. Of course the dickhead threatening him online will never turn up at Bodymoor Heath, that kind of behavior is typical of the keyboard warriors as PWS rightly points out. What the hell is the fella thinking? Of course he's run to his mates and tell them he's been deleted from Lescott's twitter followers and see it as some kind of badge of honour. Obviously he cares more about the Villa than the rest of us.

The whole thing has gone way over the top. On Sunday lunchtime we were all happy he was lining up along side Jores, now suddenly he's Public Enemy Nº1. Now it seems okay to call him a "klingon". Some people are no better than our players. The reality is he's been one of our better performers, not saying much I know but I'd rather have him lining up against Stoke than Clark. He's got 12 more games to prove his point, show his love for the club he says he supports, give his all before he moves on to other pastures.

My money is on him delivering the goods or at least giving it his best shot. Whether after this circus of kicking the scapegoat the fans give him a chance, is another matter. Things are shit enough without kicking ourselves in the goolies just to show how much more care than the players.

There are far more concerning matters at the Club than a bloody tweet from somebody that obviously doesn't fully understand the rules of social media. Time to move on.

The car tweet made him look a crass indiscreet, insensitive tool, then he compounds that error with a shite excuse of my phone was in my pocket. He then rises to the bait of a twitter troll by offering him out playground style, he shouldn't be allowed a phone, he's clearly too immature

Personally, I can't understand for the life of me why players have Twitter accounts. It's simply asking for trouble.

[Sexual Ealing]

It's ace! I get followed by skimpily-dressed Russian birds almost every day.

I Moscow on it then.

He's certainly pushkin his luck

To be fair to Lescott, his problems in defence would be a lot less obvious if we'd just started the season with a good pair o' strikers.

*Applauds*

Very, very clever indeed. Standing ovation required there.

As someone who was once roundly bollocked at work for moaning about my employers on social media, I can only concur that professionals as high profile as footballers must be fucking nuts to have social media accounts, that aren't vetted by their employers, especially people as crass and stupid as most footballers tend to be...

In the grand scheme of things, a twat of a footballer posting a picture of a twattish car wouldn't be that that big of a deal.

His timing was a bit lousy, but that's been the case for him most of the season, TBF.

Soon after the furore kicked off at the weekend, I thought it was something and nothing. That perhaps some ropey work experience PR was manning his twitter account or that he had selected the wrong share option with his big Klingon sausage fingers.

His reaction since that has been pretty shit, mind. Not deleting the photo and then offering supporters out.

We really need more negative publicity, so well played.

What a gobby chav that bloke must be who sent that tweet to him.  (Awful I know).

Big Klingon sausage fingers, very funny, bravo! 😁

Bit of a dick isn't he?
