Gabby Agbonlahor long career at the club will come to an end this summer when his contract expires.
Steve Bruce has opted against giving the 31-year-old a new deal with the forward not being part of the club’s first team plans for most of the season. He recently took to Instagram to indicate his last game is fast approaching.
Despite Gabby’s long service to the club, some incidents over the past 5-6 years have soured the relations between the fans and the player himself. On Twitter, reaction to his impending departure has been understandably mixed Read more: A fond send off for some, never forgive him for others… who else but Gabby?

I have to confess, I began writing this piece on Tuesday afternoon, ahead of the Derby/Cardiff game, and the first draft was based entirely on the probability that Cardiff would win and thereby consign us to the play-offs. And when they took the lead, I was feeling even smugger. But Derby’s fightback has thrown everything up in the air again. Read more: Derby’s Fightback Has Thrown Everything Up In The Air

Kevin MacDonald’s Under 23 side are in Premier League Cup action later this evening. We head to Leicester City’s King Power Stadium for the semi-final affair tonight and the match kicks off at 7pm. Tickets on the gate are £3 adult and £1 concessions. Victory for our young changes would see them through to the Final of the competition and having secured our Play-Off spot for Division 2 promotion and now facing Reading at Villa Park in that semi-final, it could well be a great season at Under 23 level as well.

Having already secured their play-off place, Villa’s four-nil win at Ipswich last Saturday added a nice cherry to the Villa muffin and had the faithful lamenting the loss of some crucial points over the season, as Steve Bruce’s team kept the gap between themselves and second-place to a tantalising four points, with two games to go. But with Cardiff having a game in hand, it all looked rather academic, even if the fantasy scenarios were irresistible. Even so, the game itself looked like it was destined to produce another dose of the very ordinary fare Villa served up against Leeds United, before Grant Ward got himself sent-off for what looked like a potential leg-breaking challenge on Neil Taylor, just before half-time. Hourihane had scored Villa’s opener on twenty-five minutes, after a nice chunk of luck gave the assist, via a deflection and the post, from a Grabban shot, but despite Villa dominating the play Ipswich were defending well. It didn’t look like Villa were about to turn it on, before the break, even if we hoped they might. Read more: Something For The Weekend (612)
