Villa Forward Not Feeling Friendlies

Making Friends

It turns out some summer pre-season friendlies aren’t all that friendly after all. At least according to Aston Villa’s Gabriel Agbonlahor.

The forward was forced off courtesy of a late challenge by Wolves defender Richard Stearman leaving Agbonlahor a doubt for Saturday’s friendly against Nottingham Forest.

Fabian Delph: Villa. No City. No Definitely Villa ....

Well this is terrible awkward ...

Things could have got awkward for Fabian Delph had he he publicly declared that he was staying at Aston Villa and become the poster boy for loyalty in football…

Just 6 days after Delph triumphantly announced that he was “proving there is still loyalty in football” and that he would be staying on at Aston Villa he has passed his medical at Manchester City after triggering his release clause.

This of course has seen social media go into an absolute meltdown as they decide whether he’s made a U-Turn or the lesser known O-Turn. At very minimum, it legitimises each and every person who incorrectly uses the term of someone doing a “360”.
