Not everyone, you may need to re-read some of the posts. Ive read his end product meant all his running around was worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it comes down to a different upbringing, I start work at 9:00 am and am there half hour early. I get settled in, prepare for the day ahead. I see people come in at 9:00 and fifteen minutes later they are still flapping about, getting a cup of tea, huffing and puffing. It has always irked me, that is all. I am the same even though most of my employers havnt cared, but I have always got to work 10-15 minutes early so I am ready to work all prepared at my starting time.

I suppose that's true, I guess I hoped he may play like that more often..... Aware I am probably just a deluded Villa fan clutching at straws.

But going on past evidence, he usually follows these good performances with a chance in the team and is poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Come to Villa, where you will be shitted on even if you play well, because you were at a piss up in 2009. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The massively taken out of context comments he made about playing Champions League are always going to hang over him, no matter what he does. Another player who might be better off playing elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 28, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2017 I can't speak for everyone else, but I can clarify that I couldn't care less if he was at a pissup in 2009 or what he said about the champions league. In fact i'd wager if you could be arsed to go back through this thread you wouldn't see me comment on them one way or another (I might be wrong, but I don't remember doing so because I don't really care) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would say that if you were to go back through this thread, removing last season which was a cluster **** for everyone involved, his good performances would outweigh the bad. He gets it rough. I've been harsh on him in the past and he's proven me wrong again. He's poor technically yes, but he has one hell of an engine on him and he can adapt to multiple positions and be 'average' in them. He's better than Hutton, in my opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I find his good performances come at Right Back. Which is fine. But it usually leads to him being played further up the pitch. Where he's normally terrible.

Lichfield Dean Posted March 3, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2017 SIX MATCHES??!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_avfc Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 6 matches seems excessive given Akpan got 4 for pushing a referee. Not sure how these lengths of bans are arrived at. His own fault though ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyvilla Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yet on Tuesday one of the Bristol players constantly berated the linesman and was up in his face at one point , i can't even recall him being booked. Bacuna's fault this but the lack of consistency is annoying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 6 matches seems a bit harsh, but as said above he only has himself to blame and hopefully he learns from it. I just wish that the FA would be consistant with their bans handed out, but it seems like they just pick a random number out of a hat sometimes. You would hope if someone has been banned for 4 games for similar, then an appeal should reduce that down. I guess it depends on whether the club want this to remain in the news.

sharkyvilla Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Don't be a dick and this sort of thing doesn't happen. No complaints from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) 6 matches is a bit of a sickener in terms of losing him to the squad for so long but it does just emphasise what a very silly thing he did. Always likely that the FA would make an example of him in a season where they vowed to get tough on players behaving in a threatening way to officials. As for the comparison with Akpan's suspension, the thinking was probably something like this: Don't do physical contact with match officials - got that? No? OK, here's a 4 match ban so you will understand. Still not got it? OK, here's a 6 match ban so it will be REALLY clear.
