This Has To Stop

[royalbarclayfan]

The press and some fans, have misread, I´d say
The signals from Mr. Hoolahan,
But this has to stop, and preferably today
For in my view we need the wee man

Forgive, even if we can´t quite forget
His apparent desire to flee,
Playing like he did Sunday could just let
Him and us reconsider his plea

And the fact he went to salute City fans
As Hughton reminded us all,
Once the game had sunk into the Villa sands,
Was actually a merited call

We clearly saw he can unlock a defence
If he´s on form and in the mood,
A luxury sometimes, but worth the expense
Just one of a maddening brood

But throwing abuse or booing at him
Whenever his name gets a mention,
Will only help push him more out on a limb
And add to the team´s current tension

Just whether Hughton C will use him more
In these vital end of year games,
Who knows, but surely after what he saw
Last time out, he´ll be in the frame. OTBC

Spot on. It's been ridiculous the way many have reacted, thankfully it wasn't the majority. I'm far more ashamed of our "fans" reaction than Wes's celebration! This is over as an incident, shouldn't have been as big as it is anyway!

Good, hopefully it will die a death now, especially as Wes has come out with a statement today.

It is good that he has explained it, though he should have done it sooner given all the fuss in the press at the start of the week, but now let's just put it to bed!

You´re right Dave, it would have eased things sooner, but perhaps being away with the Irish squad made things a bit more difficult.

Of course, I'd forgotten that!
