Gabby

[Fasth56]

For a guy that has wiled away his career without actually doing anything for the last five years except pile on the pounds, he is and has been remarkably and some would say obscenely rewarded. So much so, that he is currently in the process of purchasing another £1.5 m house in Dorridge. Nice work for him, and us the poor deluded fools are expected to blame the club.

Fair play.

He's not exactly Jack the Villain is he?

Absolutely.

Back on topic, Gabby is definitely a lazy bastard and the sooner we're shot of him the better.

Footy is having a go at defending the indefensible, when you look at all the choices he could have made as opposed to the choices he did make, there is no defence.
"Maybe"  Footy he has no respect for the Club, the fans or himself.

I heartily disagree. Footyskillz has asked some interesting questions. I once wondered aloud (on this thread) if the fat fucker (Flabby Onegoalayear not footy) was depressed, which could have explained a few things. Doing so does not indicate a lack of respect for anything. Why do you say that?

He looked really depressed when he was on the shisha in dubai, when he was pictured with two slappers the day we got relegated, when he was eating lard with a ladle

Im depressed just looking at the useless c***

i think I remember your mental health observations and would bow to your superior knowledge of this subject.
Is a lack of self respect and depression 2 pages from the same book?

[Bad English]

Could a lack of self-respect could be a symptom or consequence of depression? Why not? I am no expert though so please don't bow.

Hang on? Whoosh moment! When you said "Footy he has no respect for the club..." I missed the 'he' and thought you were saying footyskillz had no self-respect. You meant Fatman, didn't you? In which case ignore my post heartily disagreeing with you.

No way would I insult The Skillz in that way.
Bows generously.

It's eats shots and leaves and deja vu all over again and again.

These are the social influences and coping strategies. Whichever mood state its a way of dealing with the pressure and expectation of relegation and staying in prem . It's the same as other players who are at the top end or just players or people enjoying life's vices. I'm really just trying to suggest and debate rather than 100% saying gabby is a hero or gabby is technically superb. The point is at this moment he's a seemingly valued member of the squad as Bruce said he's had his problems in past and slate is clean- And i say so  has the club had problems in past thus my linkage to his decline. I'm also acutely aware more that gabby fitness is similar to a player being injured so it's getting the conditioning right. I aware having a father man like Bruce softly speak and deal with gabby could and only could reignite him. I see him certainly at this level he is an assets not a hindrance providing like Bruce said he's fit.

Yes it is a symptom.

With regards to the photo's in Dubai and with the 2 slappers, that is what has been shown by the papers, how much stuff has he done with no press exposure?

The mere mention of his name drives me to despair, when I see him come on to the pitch as a Sub, there is no way I will ever applaud him. He has had more chances than any other Villa player, and he continually lets us down. His performance against Blues all he did was try and through his very ample weight around, and against Blackburn, every time the ball was played in the air to him, he could not jump.

If he has lost weight, then how big must he have been before? he still to me looks a good stone + overweight.

On the day he finally leaves our club, that will be a good day for the club.

When is his contract up?. Does anyone have an exact date?.

You'll know when his contract is nearing expiry - he puts in 3 or 4 half decent performances immediately prior to it

That thought had occurred to me.!
