Not good news for Villa fans who'd be hoping their team are completely prepared for their
important relegation battle at the weekend, with no distractions. This brawl with bouncers outside
a nightclub took place after the clubs annual awards ceremony.
The 3 players involved were Delph, Collins and Herd, all 3 of which have made a full apology since
the incident took place.

With their side currently making flirty eye-contact with relegation across the smoky honky tonk,
it'll no doubt come as welcome news to fans of the club that three Aston Villa players James
Collins, Fabian Delph and Chris Herd are to be fined after being caught on camera getting bolshy
outside Gatecrasher nightclub in Birmingham at 2:45am on Tuesday morning.

Back in November of 1995, with 3,500 fans crammed into a tiny ground two metres below sea-level
in the Thames estuary, non-league Canvey Island (a team of 'postmen, brickies and bouncers'
playing in the first round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history) held Division Three
side Brighton & Hove Albion at Park Lane thanks to an 84th-minute equaliser from Alan Brett with
Brighton 'keeper Nicky Rust pulling of a desperate, clawing save in the dying moments to keep the
Essex part-timers from nicking a dramatic victory.

Sir Alex has a long-held reputation for suffering no fools and making his voice heard. However,
this time his tongue has gotten him into serious trouble, invoking a lifetime "no-touch-line" ban
for all gentlemen clubs forming part of the Foxy-entertainment Association (FA).
