The only player my Boro mate has openly laughed at me about when we signed him. He was right anarl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Even including all the shit we've seen since say Djemba Djemba. Bennett is the worst villa player I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The six months where Villa were actually playing in a lower league than Bacuna were just agony. Yet another thing to hate Neil Warnock for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I remember. I wouldn't go that far, but in all his games for us that was his only competent performance which I'm guessing was a total fluke. I don't know if he actually played that well or he just wasn't completely destroyed which made it look like a great performance cos everyone was expecting the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 When I've seen Bennett for Cardiff recently he's the type of nasty spoilt player that is trying to wind up the opposition verbally. He's got the look of a little kid that will do anything to get what he wants. Towards the end to the Fulham play off game he pressed his studs into Onamahs ankle and was daring him to have a go when he got up. I don't remember him being like that with us?

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I get why people want Brentford to lose, Benhrama etc. But is there a more boring team than Fulham? I guess Stoke etc. but jesus Fulham is just one pointless club. Guess the away day is nice, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
