In fairness to the twitter generation, Dennis retired 33 years ago - somewhere out there is a grandfather born after Dennis left Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Gabby thinks "Yamez" is being found out and doesn't want to play in cold weather. The average winter temperature in Munich is colder than in Merseyside... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I agree with him regarding defensive workrate. Players like Ozil and James is a bit of a dying breed. There is no room for luxury players in the modern game. Defensive work is just as important as attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living is not something easy, it is something hard because it is cold with -20 degrees, that was very hard for me. There were days when I would go to work at 9 o’clock, start the car and check the temperature: -28 degrees. I was wondering: ‘what am I doing here with this cold’ “, said the Colombian. The hell has it ever got -28 in Germany?! Edited December 15, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be -33 C. Even downtown siberia probably milder than that! TBF to Gabby if Hames is saying that about Munich he'll certainly be saying it about Liverpool in a few years once he's left although I don't think Gabby quite researched it in that way, just said it in a lazy generic way like it was said about Wolves when they signed the Portugese players in their promotion season.

Quick Google says - 26.7c is the record for Munich and that it's rarely below - 12c. Still bloody cold though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Came through under O'Neill. Played his best football under O'Neill. No surprise if Gabby continues to subscribe to yer da opinions. It was his best spell working under one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the south, or Oslo, so not very cold or dark here. Guess we some winters can have -25 in Oslo, but generally it's a coastal city with relatively mild winters. Especially the last few years have been very mild. It's generally siberian winds that can bring the cold. I think there are tiwns in sibir that quite regularly got -60. We got around 5-6 hours daylight here I guess. Worse up north. I'll tell you this though, I've always been fairly ourdoorsy and have slept in tents in -30 etc. Downhill skiing in -25 and so on, where effective degrees can be brutal. But in Norway we largely have dry cold weather. Humid cold weather is much worse. So 0 Celcius in Rome for instance is much colder to me than - 20 here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong agree on the humidity, it makes a massive difference in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Gabby might not be the brightest out there, but I sort of get what he is saying with the cold! UK is very cold, because it's very humid. I am from abroad and in the winters we frequently enjoyed -10/-15C. Trust me, 3 degrees C with rain and wind in Feb (usual UK weather) feels much colder than -10C in a drier environment with plenty of snow around. Also, Bundesliga has a normal winter break, so they actually stop playing where as we Brits still do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
