We should be viewing this game purely as a must win against a team close to the bottom of the table. Gabby should not be close to this squad, or indeed any other squad for the painful remainder of his time here

Gabby is an ex footballer dining out on the odd goal or two per season, some of which happened to coincide against our lovely neighbours.

He is dead on his feet even at this level and should be fucked out of the club at the earliest pracitcal opportunity. Total waster in the last 5 years.

As much as I agree with everyone about getting rid etc, I'd still stick him on the bench on Sunday just in case we're really desperate for a goal and to really fuck them off.

It would be especially satisfying to see him remain there the whole game.

Could we not have him as a steward for the away fans?

He can't just be on the bench taking the position of a player who is fit if he's not fit himself. He hasn't played in a long time and while I appreciate the sentimental and "fuck with their heads" value, but isn't that more about the fans than the opposing players? I would rather we gave that spot to Grabban who will trained, has proven himself this season for a far inferior side and has come in expecting to be considered.

Edit: Mind you, I would have him on the bench with Grabban, and taking the place of Whelan, who's presence fucks with my head.

He should only be there on merit. Despite all the slagging off of him, the last games he played for us before his injury he was one of the few that looked decent. Micah Richards he ain't.

I am going to have such a party when I read the article "Agbonlahor told 'new contract my arse' by Aston Villa". Early April would be nice, to coincide with my birthday.

I hope that's not very early April. I won't believe it.

Absolutely no way should Agbonlahor feature on Sunday.  Its not like last season where we had nothing left to play for.  We're in the middle of a great run; its an important game - not a testimonial, and it looks like we finally have a team of players who give a toss and want to play for the shirt, as well as a great team spirit.  What message does it send out to some of the younger players if we wheel this waster out of semi-retirement?  He's barely played for months.

We should have enough about us to beat Blues without the need for him.

I agree with him playing on merit but he was shit last year and totally fucked them over, clattered one of them by the away end and gave it their fans, got a yellow card for smashing another one then scored in the space of about 15 minutes. The atmosphere when he came on was incredible. I'd like to think we have enough to do them but when these games go flat he'll will be liked a caged animal, he hates them, let him loose.

He’s taking Grabbans place on the bench.

When he came on last season he fired up our fans, wound up theirs and got booked, all within his first three minutes. He had a bit of a rest then he scored the winner. I'd love him if he wasn't such a twat.

Personally I hope we are already 3 goals ahead and have no need to use him if he is on the bench tomorrow. If we play to our level and not theirs we’ll be fine.
