Joleon Lescott - GONE

[thick_mike]

There's also a difference between jumping on a helicopter for an hours work and having to be in a specific location to work four or five days of the week.

I don't blame Lescott. If he's got kids in school and is settled in an area then I wouldn't up root to go and live in the third world to play for some bigoted twats who only have four games a season against some other bigoted twats.

Third world you say?

It's nice, but it's not a 3 bed flat in Chelsea nice...

What does he do at the moment though?  I can't believe that living in Manchester he's commuting there and back every day, that journey is horrific in the mornings.

The road works actually make the M6 better. He'd jump on a 18 from the Edge and get on the toll I would imagine and up to BMH that way.

Probably a shorter commute than trying to get into Manchester city centre on the M602!

There is no way Scotland is a 3rd world place, it has some beautiful parts to it

Rwanda has stunning countryside too.

But he managed it when he was at Everton

Whenever the theme of football north of the border is developed on an H&V thread, I think of Mark Fletcher and the phrase 'tinpot Scottish shit'

Celtic fans trolling their Israeli opponents before they sing about the 'Ra? I don't think a lot about it really.

I like the Birmingham derby. Its a derby not based on nonsensical prejudices, just good old fashioned hate.

The parochial way people in England seem to feel the need to identify a couple of League 1 standard sides is just odd.

If I could do the changey-line-through thing I would change that to one-sided jealousy ;-)

It's 213.5 miles from Manchester to Celtic.  It's not a commute I'd particularly relish every day.

Who says he's got to do it every day?

Plenty of people work away from home and are pretty much only home at weekends. There's plenty of ways to make it happen if he wanted it to happen.

Christ on his money he could buy an S-class /BMW 7 series / Jag XJ /Audi A8 LWB and a chauffeur if needs be, do it 3-4 times a week and overnight in Glasgow the rest of the time.  Oddly enough that sounds like the Pires solution who is possibly the only player I've seen in a Villa shirt with worse mobility.

On his salary he could afford a chauffer driven helicopter!

On his money he should pay someone to invent the teleporter!

RDM made it clear that Lescott does not have a future at Villa. Lescott has two choices in that he either sees out his contract here or he looks for a new club. Having chosen to look for a new club, he knew that this would probably mean spending some time away from home. Having decided to talk with Rangers, he knew that he would have to spend some time up there. I believe this is either a case of him wanting more money or trying to drum up interest from other clubs. Neither happened and he was only left with the Rangers offer. Tough life isn't it Joleon.

he's already light years away from his home planet of Kronos, so in intergalactic terms, a round trip to Glasgow is a piece of piss. Much like the man himself.

Also, assuming we're not talking about the Kelvin timeline, the Kronos moon of Praxis has been totally destroyed, making life on the planet's surface to be almost impossible. So we're bloody stuck with him.
