Gabby

[Dante Lavelli]

He must have been late for training, I'd guess. Not a lot wrong with normal shisha pipes* Most are certainly not illegal.

*Well apart from shittty chemicals in some cases.

I'm confused why Gabby is in trouble and Richards is not.  There must be something else, which we do not know that they're investigating.

Can't the club set up a Kebab Shop for him to run as part of a severance package?

I'd imagine it falls into the wide bracket of 'bringing the club into disrepute.'  Especially with the story and his ugly mug being on the front page of the Star.

captain Micah Richards was also in the UAE, but caretaker manager Eric Black confirmed at his pre-match press conference that the defender is not under investigation.

Asked why the decision had been made to leave Agbonlahor out of Saturday’s squad, Black told reporters: “There’s an ongoing investigation which will run its course, I’m sure.

“I spoke to [new Villa director] David Bernstein at length last night. Obviously I can’t give you any more information on that as we stand, but that is underway.

“I’ve taken the decision myself I want us to focus on football matches now, so I’ve removed Gabby from the squad for Saturday,” Black continued. “We don’t need this to be about Gabby Agbonlahor, we need this to be about the 18 players who are going to play for Aston Villa.

“It’s not a big deal. It’s something that I’ve had to take the decision on. My focus is purely on Chelsea and the players that are going to contribute to that. There’s an ongoing investigation and we’ll take it from there.”

Awesome news. The club are finally wising up and I respect that.

I bet Chelsea are pissed off Gabby isn't playing.

[lovejoy]

There's got to be more to this than we are being told. The facts, as reported, are undisputed aren't they?

[oldtimernow]

"we'll take it from there" is the new "we go again"?

The club have done more things right in the past few weeks than what they had done in the previous  5 or so years, I hope it doesn't come back to bite me but we seem like we have a 'proper' board this time.

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..

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

well documented he is an arsenal fan and he never went to vp as a kid. one of the reasons he went out on the piss with them after the fa cup humiliation.

never was a never will be a villa fan, we are just the gravy train that made him a multi millionaire
