You know i would have been more lenient on Gabby's form of late if he was quoted or reported to have had a go at the other wankers because this is "our villa" and that they were letting us and the club down - like he knew what it meant to the fans etc

Considering he was the biggest villain in the piece tells you what you need to know

I do actually think a lean, fit and motivated Gabby could tear the championship a new one - its the personality i cannot stand



I don't think any of us are very fond of him right now.  But there's a divide between those who want him and the others out at all costs and those who are prepared to accept their re-integration if that is what the manager wants.  I fall into the latter camp.  Whilst I am skeptical about all of them, I think the manager is better placed to judge whether they can make a positive contribution than I am.  I agree with you that if Gabby could find form he could become a valuable asset.
Hypothetically, if I was being continually kicked in the balls i'd do something about it were I able. I wouldn't let the perpetrator take one last almighty run up in the hope the resulting outcome is any different.

It's easy for a professional sportsman to lose weight, not so easy to lose a bad attitude.

Agbonlahor says “I’ll be trying to give 100% every game if I’m chosen"

I think I'd rather not forgive him.

Whilst I think he'd cause problems with his pace in the Championship, he still won't score the goals we need to get promotion. Good impact sub, at best.

Gabby's staying, so all you haters will soon be put in your place when he scores his one goal a season then cups his ear to celebrate the unjust negativity... so there!

I'll squirt him with a super soaker full of cooking oil.

It's easy for a professional sportsman to lose weight, not so easy to lose a bad attitude.

Gabby being willing to listen to the Fitness team and consequently RDM and slimming down to a more nippy version would indicate an attitude change though.

Not necessarily. It would indicate that he wanted to slim down, and don't we all, but with him being a professional sportsman it's somewhat germane to his job description. The bare minimum requirement.

I'm not defending the wanker, but on this occasion, I think he's just being thick and meant to say he'll be trying 100% every game.

I've got no malice towards Richardson, he was just well past his best.

He was only 30 at the beginning of last season, I just don't think his best was ever good enough to be a Prem starter.

He played for England and I mentioned on another thread joe Bennett is like him but actually won't achieve as much.
