Gabby

[dicedlam]

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

I don't. I just want him gone.

I don't. I just want him gone.

Me too. It's good news. I hate the morose, moronic, stupid cap wearing wazzock.

[Des Little]

He should be suspended purely for wearing a baseball cap backwards.  Does he think he's 12?

[TopDeck113]

There you have it from the keyboard of stuart r.  He once scored a winner against the Blues so we should be eternally grateful and forever indulge his every whim. 

That's a bit reminiscent of what that lot do with the likes of Paul Tait. And, quite rightly, we accuse them of being obsessed and small-time.

[stuart r]

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..

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.

Yeah, I realise that... Well not the £450k per goal bit but then thats not the way I see football. I got the hump reading line after line of vitriol towards Gabby. I just don't have that hate towards him and certainly don't blame him for the ills of the club. He's never been much better than average as a footballer and is currently very poor. But he's given us some great moments and our local rivals hate him so I like him more.

Its interesting to me that the first 3 threads showing when I looked in this morning were about Gabby, Grealish and Collymore. Being local and being said to be a Villa fan seems to bring with it more extreme emotion I suppose whether its hero-worship or hostility.... I was annoyed that he went to Dubai, but more annoyed with Richards as he tried to defend it with 'we've had a hard season' which just added salt to the wound. Really not fussed about the shisha thing but then I smoke e-cigs which are a kind of futuristic, sci-fi version if sheesha (dunno the right spelling so I'm trying out both).

I'm assuming he must've been suspended for something other than the Dubai thing because, annoying though it is, he doesn't seem to have broken any rules and Richards was with him.

When did he start supporting Villa?

Arsenal fan aint he? maybe he could fuck off there and see if their fans will give him the respect you seem to think he deserves. The cock-end

[The Laughing Policeman]

I don't hate Gabby. I do intensely dislike his attitude though.

Jeez did my keyboard really say that? Or did the keyboard of TopDeck113 infer that my keyboard said that? You little rascal TopDeck113's keyboard.

What does small-time mean? I mean, I know what it means, but when you say it a few times it just starts to sound daft doesn't it?... Small time.... small.... time.. The time is small.. Small-time.

There should be an investigation on what criteria was used to award this leech with his last contract. Why five years is beyond me? and for what? Was some other club going to poach him from us if we didn't tie him down to a contract...I don't think so.

I don't blame Lerner for this, due to him not having a fucking clue. I would also cut some slack for Tom Fox as he had only just arrived at the club, but I do blame Lambert.

Well if my inference is incorrect, I can only apologise at misreading all the clues in your original post, and perhaps ask you summarise in a sentence or two why you needed to end it with a YouTube clip that has no relevance to the here and now.

As for "small-time", perhaps it doesn't make literal sense, but as with all idioms, those of us familiar with context in which the language is used know full well what it means.

[robbo1874]

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.

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

probably all went to a brewery the same night and couldn't get pissed- hence ended up on the hookah pipe. Wankers, all of them.

You're right... Poor debating on my part. The clip was just a little addition to lighten the mood. Remembering happier times. I didn't for one moment mean to suggest "He once scored a winner against the Blues so we should be eternally grateful and forever indulge his every whim". I should not have included it as it has detracted from my general point that Gabby is coming in for some almighty stick and yet I don't feel that hate.

And the small-time thing. I know what it means. People say it a lot so I was mulling it over in my head and commented on those thoughts rather than my other thought which was annoyance at the suggestion that I am doing what Birmingham City fans do about Paul Tait. I thought your comparison was stretching things a little but I only have myself to blame. Your comment was instigated by my inclusion of that goal against Birmingham City in my post which I have admitted was an absolutely disastrous move on my part. Disastrous.

Collymore needs to shut up
Grealish needs to grow up
Gabby needs to fuck off - and take Richards with him.

As for shisha well depending on what was imbibed by my understanding is they are as bad for you as cigarettes and often much more so.

Bongin' it wiv Gabby AgBONGlahor.

Dude.

Innit.
