From his twitter:

Footy match in the midday sun, not very clever. Now having some tests done.  Whoever voted for a World Cup in Qatar in the summer?

Apparently his agent tweeted that ^^^ and he's actually - according to L'Equipe - in a coma.

Read this and thought, ah he's fine. No worries.

Apparently his agent tweeted that ^^^ and he's actually - according to L'Equipe - in a coma.

Then read this. Fucking Hell.

Get well soon Daveed.

He's always had a healthy sense of humour, good to see it doesn't look serious. Half the women in the world would still sleep with him.

And probably a large percentage of the men!

Remember his debut at Villa Park. Bradford couldn't get anywhere near him. Kind of performance you'd pay money to watch.

Thought we might have been getting a show pony, just out for one last payday. But under a better manager than Gregory he could still have been a big player for us. He had the desire and -his own way- the workrate.

There is no point in signing a player like Ginola and then complaining that he doesn't track back.  He hadn't in his career up until then, why was he suddenly going to start in his 30s?

He has always spoken well about us whenever asked too. Not empty rhetoric and platitudes either, sounds like he is actually bothered a bit.  Which immediately puts him above the likes of Ray Houghton and (sadly) David Platt and Mark Bosnich.  Players who did far more in a Villa shirt, but seem to see their time at VP as something to gloss over.

Bosnich? If true that'd be disappointing. Aside from a season at United and about five games for Chelsea all he knew was Villa.

Ginola is now awake after a long operation last night He is doing well, speaking but has no recollection of what happened (From Libération about 30 minutes ago).

I hope he really is fine as opposed to the 'fine' that Michael Schumacher is continually reported as being

Isn't there some question as to whether it's him or his agent posting the tweets?
