A MYSTERIOUS TEXT

Beep beep beep

Jason Connolly is awoken by the sound of an incoming text from Gabby Agbonlahor early on Tuesday morning.

The squad are due to fly to Marseille that evening.

Squinting at the bright screen, he just about makes out the words...



He feels it's best not to reply and can speak to the player tomorrow face to face.

That night, he tosses and turns, unable to get back to sleep - wondering what his 28 year old striker could mean.
Oh noes!
What do you think he wants Glenn? lol
Something unpleasant :P
SHOWDOWN TALKS...



Knock, knock, knock

CONNOLLY: Come in.

GABBY: Hi boss.

CONNOLLY: Gabby - What can I do for you?

GABBY: No point in beating around the bush here. I've been at the club since I was 8 - that's 20 years.

I have won more in your two and a half seasons here than I had the other seventeen and a bit years and I thank you for it.

I'm not being ungrateful, but I would like to move. I owe it to myself to try something new while I'm still at my peak.

CONNOLLY: I hear what you're saying mate, but we really harbour ambitions of winning the Premiership in the next few seasons... If you leave and that happens, how gutted will you feel that you didn't stick around with your hometown club for that moment of glory?

GABBY: My agent is in talks with Manchester City already, all we need is to agree a fee.

CONNOLLY: I'm disappointed that you have went behind my back and started negotiations with that shower of shit. We've beaten them TWICE this season, what makes you think they're so special?

Money? Warming a bench?

This club has turned you in to an England regular for pete's sake!!

You know what? Get out of my office. You're going no where for that total lack of respect, you have three years on your contract and if you don't want to play for this club, you can rot in the reserves until you're 31.

Goodbye Gabriel.

GABBY: But boss, I....

CONNOLLY: OUT!!!
Like a BOSS
30 GAMES UNBEATEN!!

MARSEILLE 2-3 ASTON VILLA
Stade Velodrome

Villa maintain their 100% Champions League record with an impressive fighting display in Marseille.

Despite going 2-0 down through goals from Ezequiel Garay and Samir Nasri in the first half, a dogged Villa pull a goal back before the break through Gaston Ramirez.

Ryan Shawcross heads Villa level before French international Morgan Schneiderlin wins it 2 minutes in to injury time as he fires home from 10 yards following a scrappy goalmouth scramble.

MANCHESTER CITY 1-1 ASTON VILLA
Etihad Stadium

Villa drop their first points in the Premiership away to the Champions after falling behind to a 13th minute strike from Yaya Toure.

Highly rated 18 year old striker Fabrice Olinga continues to impress and marks his third start with his second goal following good work from Gaston Ramirez to level.

ASTON VILLA 2-1 IPSWICH TOWN
Villa Park

Villa continue their defence of the Capital One Cup by taking a fourth minute lead through Will Hughes in a much changed Villa side. Charles N'Zogbia doubles their lead on 50 minutes.

Hughes gets sent off following a challenge on Michael Chopra which has since been shown to have been extremely harsh.

Chopra dispatched the resulting penalty but Villa hold firm to advance to the Quarter Finals.

These results see Villa unbeaten in their last 30 games in all competitions.

NEXT GAME: Newcastle United - Premiership (h)
What happened to Good Ol Gabby?
He was dropped from all three games!!

He will be transfer listed nearer to January, I rejected his request just to spite him!
:)) is he any good, though?
That is quite a an unbeaten run you have put together! :P
2013-01-01 03:46#74901 Glenn T : :)) is he any good, though?

He did well last season on the left but got injured. Tom Ince has taken his place and is un-droppable at the moment just like N'Zogbia is on the right.

Even up top, Benteke has been brilliant and Olinga looks like he's going to be amazing.

So, yes, he's good but I think I could get £10-12m for him....
