Gabby

[Villa75]

Interesting to see lifelong Chelsea fan John Terry, running up, down and around the Holte End much earlier today, doing everything he can to get fit quickly and get back in the side.

You'd think a lifelong Villa fan would be doing even more...

He has, and he's now back in full training. Unless Bruce is lying, for reasons unknown and 'mysterious'.

Gabby defintely gets better the less he plays.

He certainly gets better the less other players get near his 86 career Villa goals.

I've been supporting Villa for over 40 years and, for me, there are only a handful of attacking players that have given me as much enjoyment over an extended period, that Gabby has.

3 years at best.

I’ve never seen any Villa player do that before today, have you? Certainly not on social media anyway.

He's not "stealing a wage from us", you wanker (I get that 'free' after your 'insinuation' earlier).

No you don't. Pull anything like that again and you won't be posting here any more.

Have you had a word with Bad English for what he posted? Or is it targeted at me only, which I would see as bullying?

You're the only one that called someone a wanker, saying memories of Gabby are in your wank bank is childish but hardly the same. So you're the only one being 'targeted' as you're the only one that broke site rules. And you knew you were breaking them hence your "I get that free" nonsense.

Really? If anything it’s the exact opposite from what I can gather from reading this thread.

I've seen some folk calling for him to be picked again. I wouldn't have him anywhere near the squad.

It seems to me that anytime anyone calls for him to be recalled to the squad they’re pounced on by the anti Gabby brigade. We’re all entitled to our opinion.

It's no different to those against Gabby being 'pounced on' by those still in favour of him.

Oh yeah because that goes on a lot on here.

Fair enough.

I will only, in future, talk about Bad English's wank bank of memories.

Well both you and Villa75 have 'pounced' (in reality it's not pouncing just people disagreeing on a forum as happens on every thread) anti Gabby comments so how is it any different? How is replying "he's shit" to a post in favour any different to replying "he isn't shit" to any post against him? Same thing just opposite sides of the debate.

[Villa75]

Anyway. I'm going to take as break, as I feel targeted, and that some people are trying to bully me off the site.

True, I suppose the posts that get to me are the ones where Gabby’s entire career is forgotten and all people now consider him is being a fat waster smoking a bong. It’s all bollocks really.

[Tayls_7]

True Villa heroes did far far more than Agbonlahor ever did and never tainted their achievements in the way he has. What don't you want to acknowledge about that?

Stay safe, don't go far and please remember we are here if you need any support. God bless.

It's only a football forum. Don't be such a delicate little flower.

But as TheMalandro said above, stay safe.

If you stay away too long you'll need a note from your Mom and Dad explaining your absence to get back on.

That 4 year he got contract was effectively a message from the club to put his feet up. His attitude in the 2015/16 season was shocking - a knife twisted in a festering wound.

For a player who never wanted to play for anyone else, he should have blown the 60 year record held by Peter McParland as the last player to score 100 goals for the club. He’s had a career here twice as long as great players - Shaw, Little, Withe and Yorke.

History may be kinder to him, but in 10 years I think he’ll be more remembered more for the way he took the piss in the last 5 years than the good times.
