Joleon Lescott - GONE

[PhilVill]

It was brilliant, wish I could squat like him, would help a great deal when caught short out on the hills...

[saunders_heroes]

Ha!

[aj2k77]

If he were a horse he'd have been taken round the back of the North Stand and put out of his misery.

Just turn your phone off Joleon. No accidental twattering please tonight

I'm trying to think of a Villa player I've hated as much as him - there are a few I hate more when they left (Snake Delph and Rat-face Downing, you know who you are!) but I can't recall a Villa player I've hated this much whilst he's still pulling on the claret and blue.  Alpay runs him close but I'm not sure even he was this bad.

I don't hate Lescott.

I just wish we had signed the Lescott of a few years ago -ideally when he was leaving Wolves.

This 2016 version ain't much cop.  His legs have gone, but if we defended better as a unit, it wouldn't be so apparent.

[Ad@m]

I could understand his legs going, but that doesn't explain his horrendous positional play, tendency to switch off on a regular basis, failure to win any tackle and the fact that any striker knows they can take him on and outmuscle him to come out the other side clean through.

Oh, and the fact he quite clearly doesn't give a fuck about the fans.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

He's no Paul McGrath, that's for sure. Even after a few, and with dodgy knees and no training....he still out-thought his opponents. Lescott is so slow his thinking hasn't caught up by the time the guy is past him.

Agreed. I can understand him not not giving a fuck about the fans after all the abuse he's taken. He still tries his best but his best is no longer good enough especially when we play a high line. As some wit said today, it's like he's running though custard. I've never understood why footballers think they need to be on social media apart from keeping in contract with their former teammates.

What's your legs got to.do with being yards off your man? Him and Richards are abysmal, with cunty attitudes to go with it.

Can't argue with that.  Paid a fortune and people understand him not giving a fuck?! The guys taking us for chumps the piece of shit.

His defending for the first was criminal. Long will never score an easier headed goal.

What,  you mean on that clearly offside goal.  Long was stood a yard offside how the lino missed it is beyond me.

[JJ-AV]

Should probably never sign a centre-half that Pulis wants rid of. Especially one with his pedigree.

I don't like this post.

But to put the Lords name in with this pile of do do, is blasphemy of the highest order.
