"If I only had a brain..."

A steely will resides behind these glasses.

Nigel Reo-Coker dealt an effective death kneel to his Aston Villa career after deciding to throw-down with Villan boss, the (apparently) deceptively meek Martin O'Neill.

Now, there have been a lot of rumors as to the brawlin' boys' motives, but here's how we like to think things played out: Nigel, not having scored a goal in a while, knocked one into the net, and, forgetting it was only a training sesh, tackled the nearest person to him in celebration, wrestling O'Neill down in celebration, just like he would on the pitch....if he actually scored goals there....

...or it could be Nigel's disappointment at being subbed at the weekend. But, really, is our scenario any less likely?
