how anyone can squander the opportunity to play for a club they supposedly love is beyond me.

Ask Mr Collymore.

Mental illness isn't the same as being fat and lazy.

He still provided many good memories for us.

Multiple derby winners v SHA and WBA.

Scored the second in our first away win to Arsenal in 15 years which I was lucky enough to attend.

Only Villa player in 35 years to score the winner at Old Trafford.

Played a bit part in keeping us up in Lambert's first season.

Since 2013 though yes he has been a waste of space and certainly shouldn't have got a new deal in 2014 which was madness.

Still though he has done good things on the pitch for this club although of course it was a long time ago.

Players like Richards, Lescott and probably McCormack have also provided poor conduct off the pitch and provided nothing on it so a bit of a difference.

Well said.

His six figures is a bit crass in some respects like a money may weather.

I would like him contributing to the squad and team to earn the wage.

Have to laugh though as this 'six figures'  clothing  brand he's involved with and owns/founded indicates he's a multi Millionaire and some sort of tribute to that.

Also indicating six figures meaning a success. Well there's a debate.

Anyway doubt he ll be managing or even a pundit when he retires?! Wonder if will be end of season.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Surely at least one season at Burton or Walsall beckons...

as the club mascot?

I thought that was his job at the Villa these days?

[mr underhill]

no the guy in the lion suit is too small to be him.

He'll only deliver if he gets the service, something we've fail to give him for years. If he can avoid injuries I think he can still do the business for a decent team in the Championship. A change of scene will probably do him good.

Still, if you want to hate him help yourselves. I'll save mine for the likes of Hodge, N'Zogbia and Micah The Clown.

Yep; can't say I massively dislike the fella.

I don't hate him but he is now firmly esconced in the hall of infamy not far below the levels of those you mention.

Let's face facts - 5 years of continuous improvement when we played to his strengths, 3 years of middling inconsistency against a backdrop of diminishing performances and 5 years of Utter Bollocks and it is unforgivable as he should have known better.

[Smirker]

I don't hate him. I just am not much of a fan any more.

[Nelly]

He was electric for us once. I miss that Gabby.
