Gabby

[john e]

I've got a nice hand rolled one that my lad bought me back from Morocco in Jan

But I'm saving it for a special occasion

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.

I'm sure u know which one you meant, and I doubt you meant to cause offence. I'm just pointing out that not that long ago a poster mention

[Comrade Blitz]

Chris I have often thought this. They appear to like a good scapegoat.

Welcome to H&V Mr & Mrs Agbonlahor

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I don't hate Gabby more than the other players; I hate them all equally.

And I think they're *******.



*Actually the only ones I hate are Agbonglahor, Richards, Lescott and Guzan.

There seems to be a lot of people getting their knickers in a twist over a couple of Villa employees going out a week before their next match.

Villa means more to me than it does to either of those pair but I have to confess even I had a weekend off from thinking, talking or worrying about football and work as well.
Much-needed and enjoyable it was too.

Gabby's had about 12 months off work, not just a weekend

[PaulTheVillan]

Gabby only thinks about himself. Which was evident after his last goal, his Instagram post was all about silencing haters. Nothing about scoring and getting points for the club.

I can't wait until the useless prick has fucked off.

More like 5 years.

And it takes a certain kind of stupidity and unawareness to give it the big one when it's your first goal, when you play up front, in 11 months. I'd be embarrassed. He's shit though and doesn't care, another of the ''look at my car'' club in my book.

When Lowton mentioned in an article about there being clicks who go on about what they have at the club this fool will be one of them.

There's a fair few players at the club now who haven't done anything in years, they don't have any drive any more, they might as well be retired.

Except the haters aren't silenced (evidence; this thread) and the best way to have done so would have been to score more goals.

But no, one goal a season (and counting) is the way to silence the haters.

As for going to Dubai, well, if he left training late on Friday morning knowing that he wasn't expected back until Monday morning, then I don't see the issue. Local flights go direct three times a day, including an overnight flight so its do-able. If he wants to spunk £20 a drink and smoke cigars in a place not bound by the EU's laws on indoor smoking then good luck to him. He's not the first and won't be the last.

There's plenty more to hate about where he is concerned. The aforementioned lack of goals, perceived lack of effort in games, the various rumours I've heard about effort/attendance at training...

[MillerBall]

Not a problem with Gabby going away at all, far from it. The only problem is that he will be coming back again (very sadly).

We are, alas, very likely stuck with this high earning player I suspect for far longer that we all dare hope.

Whoever was gormless enough to have given both Gabby and Paul "my go again has got up and gone" Lambert four year contracts should be shot (preferably not by Gabby since he might miss).

I think part of being a professional footballer should be how you conduct yourself during a season, your professional attitude, your awareness of being a role model for younger fans and your responsibility to act in a way that does not bring into question that professionalism in light of your position very much in the public eye. As such, having a little bit of sensitivity that you are part of the 3rd worst side in the history of the top flight, while playing for a club that has never been relegated from the SKY league, and earn more money in a week than most of the fans in a year, should mean you have more sense than to jet out to some celeb disco in Dubai for the weekend. We can argue the rights and wrongs, but for me if I was the manager I would have made sure that they were not doing things like this, that they were not allowed on social media without their tweets being vetted first etc and that they knew what the club means to the fans and how their actions will be perceived. During the off season carry on, party etc, but have a word with yourself and restrain it during the season. Have a bit of respect to those who turn up, pay subscriptions etc to allow you to live the life of privilege that you do. There are some players who would not be seen at events like that during the season.

Gregg Evans bleating about spending time with family during Easter. Spot on Gregg. Why was Gabby not spending some quality time with his kids while he had time off, rather than going on a bender in Dubai with Richards et al? I just think it sends the wrong message and is a show of weakness from Garde to have not ensured this kind of stuff is not taking place at the moment.

The break might do him the world of good. I'm sure he'll be back at training today, refreshed and ready to start banging goals in again

I think fans who pay fortunes to watch absolute abject dross every week for 9 months are entitled to question the attitude of an absolute arsehole waste of space that has somehow managed to trouser upwards of £3m per annum over the last 5 years. 

During which time his performances would have warranted dismissal in any other job of work.

I doubt it.
