He reminds me of that blues player who refused to play once they were relegated, only worse.

I wonder what the next game's excuse will be.  "Injury sustained in training" is my guess.

groin injury  perhaps

got no balls?

[Villa in Denmark]

Obviously lines like 'I can't fault him in training' are code for 'this week he didn't turn up with his head mashed after just getting off a seven hour flight.'

I can't fault him in trainingbecause I'm not allowed to call him a cock socket in public on company time

[old man villa fan]

The problem with training is that it doesn't match 90 minutes of a match for stamina, concentration, effort etc.  Too many of our players can put it in for 15 minutes and then drift.

Wonder if Gabby will have recovered from his virus by Monday....

Aston Villa staff could learn their fate at redundancy meetings on Monday

Discussions planned with staff as Villa plan for life in the Championship

Aston Villa's staff could learn their fate on Monday with meetings planned to discuss a way forward in the Championship.

There are meetings scheduled for workers from Villa Park and Bodymoor Heath, with the club now right on the brink of relegation.

Redundancies are inevitable as Villa count the cost of dropping out of the Premier League at a time when a bumper broadcast deal is set to make the top flight more lucrative than ever.

Premier League clubs are each set to get a £100 million share of the TV cash next season, but Villa will only get a fraction of that via parachute payments.

According to our sister title, The People, all full-time, part-time and zero-hour contract employees have been given time slots where the effects of relegation will be spelled out.

They report that up to 50 could be axed with a number of roles amalgamated.

Shocking news. I hope the players are proud of themselves. They are a bunch of fucking wankers

[Chris Harte]

This is going to sound really childish.

While answering the call of nature in the Lower Holte before kick off yesterday I realised I was facing one of the promotional posters advertising the club kit. It had three players on the poster. Jack Grealish was one, another I can't remember and Agbonlahor doing a fingers-to-lips pose. At that moment it occurred to me what fun it would be to draw a cock, complete with japs-eye, over Agbonlahor's head.

If only i'd been carrying a permanent marker at the time.

Now being 'outed' by the club I feel. Eric Black has just said he's on a 2 week fitness programme, no where near fit and training with the u21's

As opposed to the 24 month fatness programme that he's been on previously.

No doubt he will be absent from the squad for the remaining fixtures. Saves him getting any more viruses anyway.

[placeforparks]

quite literally not fit enough to wear the shirt!

[in exile]

He should be absolutely ashamed of himself

[nuninho]

If what Black's saying then sack him now.  Worry about the tribunal later. 
Surely, surely, surely in the contract there has to be a line regarding professionalism and representation of the club??

[Trinitymiddle]

"Club captain" as well.

As a representation of our club and our season, it's perfect.

[Chris Jameson]

We should have an end of season vote for who is the biggest cocksocket to captain the club this season. It's a strong category.
