MapleVilla Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Think it shows how poor the club was run during his time. Seems like a great bloke in a crappy situation. Just goes to show how little we know as fans on the ins and outs of day to day runnings at a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 He looks slimmer... I seem to remember him bulking up more across his upper body His brief analysis of Jack and maddison seems on point to me, maddison is 1 touch sharper quicker crisper around the box so I'd like to hear him expand on that and see how decent a pundit he could be rather than the basic stuff asked of him Talking about the abuse we gave him and the rest of that team...i don't think he or Sutton drive home just how bad that team was, in terms of effort and putting a shift in, we were embarrassing, it was a badly ran club but that was reflected on the pitch, he might have been injured but then what was gabbys excuse? Lescott, sinclair, bacuna, Richardson excuses? We were as lazy a football team as I hope I will ever see, I don't want to see that shit again, I felt robbed on my time and money and of my love for football, it was an angry time (I never tweeted any of them, I don't understand that shit) booing him and them every game, I was guilty of that definitely, not ashamed of it either, we were dreadful as a collective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I just watched an interview with Micah Richard on the BBC website about mental health. I'd never seen an interview with him before. He's a really nice guy. He mentioned that some abuse he received on social media while at Villa made him cry. It must have been really bad, I think. That's low. Out of order. What a world we're living in. And on top of that I know he he didn't play fantastically well for us but he was pretty injured quite a lot of the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said it before, I dont think Richards was a poison in that relegation season. He was a shit player but he wasnt a bad guy compared some of other pricks 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I remember at the end of one league game in the relegation season, one of the many dismal defeats, when the Villa fans were understandably annoyed, I think some may have been booing and a few shouting. And he went over to them and engaged with them in a discussion, (which was pretty brave of him, I don't think any of the other players went over to them). I don't think he was shouting but he was speaking in a clearly heartfelt way and looked genuinely upset. Maybe he was trying to defend himself, saying that he'd been trying his best to play well or something like that, which I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans were kicking off and Richards went over to tell them they were trying their best. In fact I’ve found what I was thinking of here He always came across as a decent person, more so than Lescott ever did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Yeah have to agree it wasn't his fault he couldn't play and it wasn't his fault he was offered a contract by Sherwood. Lescott on the other hand was a disgrace to wear the shirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aah, thanks, I got mixed up then, I thought it must have been a league game because we lost so many of them that season! I'd forgotten it was actually a cup game. Anyway, yeah, I got the impression that Richards cared. Edited June 2, 2020 by robby b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I wish Micah all the best in his new career as a pundit but boy does he skip over the taking the money for four years and conrptributing Jack shit in the process......oh apart from his bubbly smile.

VillaChris Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Quote 'When I signed I was told Fabian Delph was staying, Christian Benteke was staying, Ron Vlaar was going to stay,' says Richards. 'That was a decent spine. I was told we were going to sign Aaron Lennon, Emmanuel Adebayor. Let me tell you this story: Adebayor came to the training ground. He had official pictures taken, everything. The contract was all drawn up, waiting for him to sign it. He doesn't sign immediately and tells them, "I'm going home to have a think. I will be back up tomorrow to sign". 'You know what happened? He had a dream that night that it was going to be the wrong decision, so he just never came back to the training ground! Honestly! Ask Tim Sherwood (Villa's manager at the time) about it! So I'm there scratching my head.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8699251/Micah-Richards-views-matter-experienced-career.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
