sharkyvilla Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 He did look like he was dressing up in armour ready for the Superbowl tonight. I don't know whether he's fat, hench or had a puffa jacket on under his shirt but it didn't seem to slow him down much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbs Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Too much time spent in the gym, not enough time on the training pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 doing a quiz on sporcle and it says he has scored a penalty for us in the league. anybody remember this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Hmmm. Fulham at home maybe? He scored the long range one in the same game. Might've been Portsmouth... edit: nope, doesn't look like it was either. I don't think he has. Edited February 5, 2015 by adz.villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well he didn't score on in his first fifty (Shame the formatting doesn't work on that anymore.) I don't recall one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 He's never taken or scored a penalty for us in the league. I now it's easy to take pot shots at him nowadays and he certainly dosen't produce much beyond a handful of games but looking back he was still getting criticised in the O'Neill days for not scoring enough despite being a very integral part of the day. He kept on managing double figures without ever taking a single penalty for us as that can be a very nice way for forwards to boost their scoring tallies without much workrate....Darren Bent and Carew to name two.

Carew only scored 2 penalties for us as Barry and Milner were ahead if him in pecking order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 From memory I'm sure he took quite a few in 09/10 when he was on the decline in general play but still had a reasonably goal ratio. Just checked...he actually took 6 pens for us that season. Scored 2 in the cup v Palace, one against Reading which was a hattrick, One against Hull right at the end of the game and one against Blackburn in our endless cup games against them in that period. He missed v Pompey in the league. The Newcastle moon landing attempt occured the following season. He actually scored 17 in all competitions that season which suprised me but 5 of the were pens so pretty much a third to boost his tally. What I'm trying to say...Darren Bent can go on about his 100 prem goals but when at a guess a good 30 have been pens dosen't that lessen it just a shade...seeing as Gabby for all his faults has scored his 70 odd all from open play. I'm sure if he'd wanted to take penalties for us he wouldn't actually be far off 100 goals now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Gabby Schwarzenegger... I'm sure he'd prefer to be posing on a Mr World stage than playing football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Buck up your ideas Gab. Get out on that pitch and fcuking stick it up John Terry will you! Near post, low scruffy header in a 1-0 win thanks. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd rather play anyone than Gabby.An absolute disgrace to the shirt. He has no idea about how to play the game, waste of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
