Gabby

[HK Villan]

Surely doing this half way through an intensive personal fitness programme must be gross misconduct and grounds to be sacked?  In any normal circumstances...

[Tayls_7]

Spare a thought for Gabby. He's one of us and loves playing for the Villa. He must be effing devastated. Twat.

[john e]

I couldn't really see the point of a two week fitness programe with 4 games left to play of the season
I suppose something had to be seen to be done when Gabby wobbled in looking like that famous fat blues fan

the thing that I will never understand, we have been calling him flabby in here for months, everyone can see he's a role poly,
 so why with all the intensive training equipment at Bodymoor and fitness specialists all over the place did they not see what was pretty clear to us any earlier

the whole place is fucking useless

[Dave Cooper please]

It's easy, don't suspend him, put the fucker in the first XI for Saturday. He's getting paid, he plays if Villa want him t play.
If he claims he's injured make him do a medical on the pitch before the game.
I want to roundly boo this fucker until my vocal cords break, why should I be denied that?

[tomd2103]

But Lerner will not sack him because it might just might cost him a barrowload of money.

Probably, I don't think we have any grounds to sack him

Sack him anyway and then go to a tribunal if needs be.  Might cost us, but we'd still be shot of him.

I can't help thinking how unlucky we have been over the last 20 years with the local lads who in a parallel universe could have been loyal upstanding servants to the club. I'm thinking about Collymore, Hendrie, and Gabby mainly. It's a shame that we haven't had the kind of service Man Utd got out of their lot, or Liverpool got out of Gerrard and Carragher.

I'd put the spunk bucket in goal. Then he's really got no hiding place for 45 minutes abuse from North Stand and The Holte.

Three arseholes there who branded themselves as "Villa fans" in the hope of getting an easy ride off the fans.  They all managed it to get away with it for far longer than they deserved.  Maybe in future we shouldn't be so gullible.

Collymore was just damaged goods and nothing to be done.

The other 2 and potentially Grealish, you've got to start looking at the culture and environment at Bodymoor. You can add Luke Moore to that list as well.

It's a little disheartning that of the really talented players that have come through over the last 15-20 years, the only one who's shown true professionalism has been Barry, and he spent part of his formative years away from Bodymoor.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Sack him for being disloyal and sack him for taking part in fun that excludes his employer

[dl9]

Clearly the 'hippy crack' he was taking helped him to overcome the trauma of us being relegated and we have to respect that. Manchester is a long way from Birmingham and it's not difficult to take a wrong turning and suddenly find yourself in London instead in a hotel room with some lovely birds in it to help you with the devastation of your club's demise.

Along with said 'crack', said birds and a Krispy Kreme or 10 I hope the burden and weight is now lifted from poor Gabriel's shoulders......

The weight has definitely moved from his shoulders.

Unfortunately it hasn't lifted.  More sort of slumped down to his gut and arse.

Rumours that the kit crew at Bodymoor Heath have had to retrieve Nigel Callaghan's shorts from storage are as yet unconfirmed.

The depressing thing is that they think they can actually get money for him in the summer.

On the plus side, the article linked at the bottom of the page suggests that they're all on 50% pay cut clauses for relegation.
