I remember the river of tears that you lot cried when he was left out of the world cup squad in favour of Heskey.
Heskey was playing for a bigger club and so he got the nod. I'm not saying it's right but it's just the way life is. Darren realised this and decide to move to a bigger and better club. You can't blame the lad for being ambitious.
Do you expect me to bite and fire off an angry reply?
Bent was left out of World cup squad, which was unfair. However, after the world cup Bent was included in the England squad while playing for Sunderland (e.g. against Switzerland).
And the be fair, if Villa are a bigger club than us, they are bigger than you. However, seems league positions have both us and you as bigger clubs than Villa. Sunderland and Newcastle clubs also have higher attendance than Villa.
