Gabby

[Villa in Denmark]

Depends what else is happening in Gabby's life really...I don't think anyone would get proper depression from simply the football team they're playing for losing every week otherwise half the nation's footballers would have it.

It's not necessarily about what's going on in your life, but how you're screwed together.

I did read a niece of his was seriously ill so that's probably on his mind, he is only human after all despite being a multi millionaire.

Although something like this could trigger an episode.

Above all for his own good he needs to leave this summer. I've defended him repeatedly in the past but imo there is no coming back from this. His conduct last few weeks has been a disgrace, let's remember aswell he missed a few games in November to supposedly go on a fitness boot camp to the states so how on earth has he got out of shape again so quickly in 4 months?

He didn't come back fit or in shape and probably hasn't been properly match fit for the last 2 seasons.

Depression is a very real and a very serious illness but in my experience, and I lost a lifelong friend to suicide two weeks ago, it strikes those vulnerable to it.  The mental make up of some people gives them the ability to endure overwhelming pain and misery.  Others crumble under "lesser" loads.

I once went to visit my business partner in recovery in a psychiatric hospital.  He related that he had broken down, weeping and sobbing brokenheartedly on his doorstep because he could not get his Yale key in the lock.

The lucky ones among us are better equipped to cope with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

Brian you are correct. However im not sure where this Gabby has depression idea has come from. Where is the evidence? I think he just cant be bothered anymore. Amazing he has gone from hero to zero in about 3 years. Unfortunately for him when he is being discussed in 10 years time it will be the current bad times that are remembered.

I can recall speaking to someone who worked with a close friend of Agbonlahor's a number of years ago.  Even then, he said Agbonlahor often talked about retiring from the game.  Maybe he just doesn't like football.

He certainly plays like it.

In fact he plays like he's trying to turn the entire Villa family off football.

I don't particularly like Neil Moxley, he's a Birmingham fan for starters. But, writes a really good article on Fatty in the People today. Compares Fatty to Gary Shaw. Worth a read.

Agree Newby, good article and well written

He's moving back in with his Mom in that block of  flats in Erdo.

I suspect we've probably seen his last appearance.

I'm beginning to think that he may not have been the best choice for club captain.

Has that virus gone now?

[Richard E]

Has that virus gone now?

No, he's still on our books. Badoom tish!

[Chico Hamilton III]

Has that virus gone now?

I think he's over the worst now.

So the lazy fat c*** is taking getting fit seriously then.

I'll add that i'm beginning to detest the bloke. What should have been his prime years as a player he's spent waddling around looking like he's eaten Grant Holt.

'Normal' people at the club are having their jobs cut while that fat twat is earning thousands per week and taking the piss out of us all. Sack him now!

[A Northern Soul]

We know he doesn't give a shit or follow instructions but how fucking stupid must he be to allow himself to be photographed and for those photos to be uploaded. Not so much on the day we officially got relegated but a couple of days after being publicly hauled over the coals??
