Selfish and Lazy and Greedy.... And thick. What a stupid thick idiot. Good for nothing and would probably be on benefits (only lazy stupid people are on benefits, Channel 5 told me). And even more annoyingly, he is also very clever and intelligent, capable of leading a cunning machiavellian campaign to rule the changing room and BH in order to undermine various managers and ultimately bring down the club. A very very clever stupid idiot.

Or some might say he's just a bloke living his life, making mistakes in an intense (but ultimately meaningless) football environment. Probably trying his best and maybe not worthy of such hostility or being called a c**t by supporters of the club he has always played for and also supports.

No way. Hate him. Hate, hate , hate, hate, hate, HATE..

Let's hope they can pin it to gross misconduct.  We can hope.  Standby for the entrance of Gordon Taylor to say 'we are monitoring this gross unfairness to one of our longest serving members.'

In respect of the comment from dicedlam, yes you may well be right on that one. The thoughts of the Club Officials for the last four years have often been at polar odds with those of the fans so they no doubt thought that a long term contract for Agnes was something we actually wanted.

At last some good news.

Hope they discover Richards took the rest of the squad to a crack den and brothel as part of a team building exercise.

Thanks for that Chris. You've enabled me to start the day with a good ol' chuckle (which makes a refreshing change).

I love this post. Gabby may be past it now, but I remember all the happy times he provided. I don't think he deserves the abuse he gets on here.

They went to the brothel and still couldn't score.

No one is saying we aren't grateful for some of the genuinely great moments he gave us during the good times - albeit brief. 

But if you are seriously suggesting the behaviour of him a senior professional and a lifelong supporter of the club isn't cnutish during our hour of greatest need then with all due respect you're wrong.

This is an example of player power at its absolute worst and is a direct causal link to the abject shitness that has engulfed the club in the last five years.

this isn't the club's April Fool is it?

[Phil from the upper holte]

I seriously doubt that he supports the Villa

Er.....just realised I posted my previous comment before reading the last couple of pages of the thread, I genuinely didn't know about the Dubai thing. Talk about being thick. Anyway, still think he gets far too much stick though.

Agreed, it's a myth. People from his childhood said he was an Arsenal fan at school, I think the hatred from Blues and Albion fans just made him dislike them over the years and therefore he was seen as Villa through and through.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't care who he supports just want to see some bloody effort

You do realise that was the best part of 10 yrs ago .
& as a premier league (best league in the world) striker he has scored the grand total of 28 goals in 6 seasons since 2010.

6 years - approximately 15m in wages directly from the club.
So £450k per goal.

To be fair, to score as many goals in local derbies as he has and end up being detested by a large portion of the support takes some doing. Then again, why should he care?  He's rich beyond his wildest dreams.
