Gabby

[Witton Warrior]

If he is suffering from depression my non medical diagnosis is that it a form that is self inflicted.  He gambles heavily (ergo he loses heavily), he drinks heavily, he overeats and he is sexually promiscuous.  The house he lives in looks a monument to tasteless vulgarity.  It would be surprising if he were not depressed.  He deserves to be until he adopts a less self indulgent lifestyle.

These are also signs of low self-esteem and poor decision-making not just depression - like many others I have "the history" but at other times have simply cocked things up big style...

Amen to that WW.

[Sexual Ealing]

Indeed.

I suspect that Gabby is probably thinking that he has totally messed up his career at the Villa and potentially in football

In a way it is a shame for him, but he made the choices for which he is now paying the price

We all make choices in life some good and some that we have to live with a certain amount of regret for what we did, I know that I have made massive mistakes in my life, which I still cannot understand why I did them at the time!

[Confusious says]

Sid life is about making mistakes sometimes, but we try to learn from them. Unfortunately Gabby is paying the price now, but also our club is too

In football terms it's too late for him to make up for those mistakes. Fortunately for him, life doesn't (McGrath willing) end at 35 like it does for most footballing careers. He's got the rest of his life to better himself and most importantly to grow up.
His time at the Villa is done though. Too many broken promises. Too much damage done.

[Risso]

It wasn't a joke; I was wondering aloud what turned him into a work-dodging, lazy, overweight waster.

£50K a week and a tiny intellect.

It would be very easy to at least try to get his career back on track.  Take a cut in wages and join a different club for a start.

Someone said previously you would not be surprised to hear in the future that he becomes bankrupt. The guy had power, pride, passion and a fair amount of ability but it has all been wasted because he either has been badly advised along the way or has revelled in the billy big bollocks attitude that has in turn attracted the wrong type of "friends"

I know someone who knows him and there were rumours previously he changed his Lamborghini like we changed trainers for the latest models

So far we have:
- thick and too much money
- depressed
- bellend

It must be in his stars.

i think he possibly may like to bet as well

[oldtimernow]

Well we can look forward to seeing how he performs on I'm a celebrity or Celebrity big Brother or even Cum dine with me?

Give you 4/1 he doesn't.

No rumours that he is trying to find another club or that any club wants him. We are stuck with him, he is the next Nzog.
