Aston Villa don’t even have a manager and Gabriel Agbonlahor has still managed to get suspended

Holy smokes.

You go on holidays when your team is bottom of the league, you smoke a shisha pipe and you’re labelled a prat. And that’s the game.

Gabriel Agbonlahor deserves to unwind. The 29-year-old has nearly hit the two-goal mark already this season for Aston Villa so he can be forgiven for doing whatever he likes to do in Dubai, during a relegation battle.

Aston Villa have suspended the man named club captain at the start of the season pending an investigation into his pipe antics which emerged during the week.

Agbonlahor won’t be part of the squad this weekend for the visit of Chelsea, he’ll probably be delighted to know.

Despite manager Remi Garde leaving the club on Tuesday, an internal investigation is underway and a suspension has been handed down to the player in the meantime.

It hasn’t exactly upset a lot of fans though. They’re more annoyed at the player.

Some believe the book should be thrown at him… Just in general.

GA2

But the investigation seems rather unnecessary to others.

GA3

It’s alright though, the club have got their moral compass back.
