Gabby

[TopDeck113]

I've never known a Villa player personally, so I can only judge them by what they do on the pitch and how their life off it is depicted in the media.

On both counts, Gabby has done himself absolutely no favours in my eyes.  I perhaps agree that some of the more abusive language is uncalled for, but, I can't think of another player who has offered so little in return for what he's earned in relation to the length of time he's been here. Given that, it's maybe not surprising that some let their frustration/anger express itself in rather more emotive terms.

"At spells he has been good for us"

Remarkable how each fan has a different opinion on him.

Personally his goal ratio, effort and enthusiasm to play for villa is appalling

He is a cretin.

Is it really that hard for you to understand the point I am making?

I can't stand the guy and think he is a complete plank. We need to be careful with the word cretin though as pointed out by a H&V poster a while ago it refers to a specific medical condition. I think said poster was pointing to this as a family member suffered from the condition.

I think I'm safe to call him a plank though. Really looking forward to the day he drives his silly expensive car out of Bodymoor for the last time.

Cretin

1 informal, offensive A stupid person (used as a general term of abuse).

2 Medicine , dated A person who is physically deformed and has learning difficulties because of congenital thyroid deficiency.

Which definition do you really think I meant?

I've met Gabby, I'm sure others have as well on here. He's not the sharpest tool in the box.

Your point being calling a piss taking waster who's done numerous stupid things the last 5 years a cretin makes me a ******?

Oh stop being so gay. You're so happy.

I can think of many instances where a plank is a useful asset to own.  Gabby, however, has been no use whatsoever in shoring up the hole in the sinking ship that is AVFC.

I think the abuse of the player goes too far and is unnecessary.

I'd be very surprised if anybody on here had a family member suffering from cretinism, seeing as it's a rare condition picked up early on that is treatable.

When that player has been taking the piss for the best part of 6 years, people are hardly going to be showering him with praise.

If there's one player in that squad who should understand what it means to pull on our shirt and run out onto the Villa Park pitch, it's him.  Instead he denigrates his fortunate position with bollocks like the "that's for the haters" tweet after scoring his first goal of the season how many days into the New Year.

In a separate debate I've said I try to avoid dishing out verbals on here that I wouldn't be prepared to say to someone's face.  Well I could quite happily start with ******, wanker, wastrel and take it from there.

Or we could go for the childish name calling. How about Glacial Agbonlahor? Slow, thick, ostensibly impervious to outside influence but melts under pressure and susceptible to catastrophic failure when the heat is really on.

With regards his perceived lack of intelligence, there must be a strand of truth in that, otherwise he wouldn't be surprised and upset when bollocks like his recent trip to Dubai, or his night out in London at the end of May don't go down well with a good chunk of Villa fans that think he's disrespecting both us and the club.

Excessive abuse?  In a scenario where feelings are running high and people are to various degrees angry, upset or both his behaviour is bound to be construed as provocative, particularly in light of his total lack of positive contribution on the pitch.

[chrisw1]

Either way, it's not very pleasant and my general point that the abuse has gone overboard still stands.

Cuts both ways.

The way he's behaved on and off the pitch has not been pleasant to see and his naked lack of effort is way overboard.  Quid Pro Quo.

You could probably use the word cretin on daytime radio, but not the word you accused Villa fans of being a bunch of. So who's gone overboard?
