Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor pictured celebrating relegation as fan starts petition to sack him

No more weight of the world on their shoulders.

Gabriel Agbonlahor is continuing to lead by example.

The Aston Villa man, who was named club captain at the start of the season, has hit the headlines again – and, as you probably guessed, they’re not for any footballing feats.

The attacker – who used to be able to attack – was pictured celebrating on what is reported to be the same Saturday night relegation was confirmed for Villa.

It was a long time coming in fairness and, as Joleon Lescott admitted at the weekend, finally going down was “a weight off the shoulders”.

So Agbonlahor can be forgiven for blowing off steam on the night they achieved their accomplishments.

He had himself cooped up going mad with preparations in the build-up to their finest hour.

As if it wasn’t all bad enough – and it is unimaginably bad – Villa fans have had to endure constant slaps in the face from their own players who seemingly don’t give a piss.

Naturally, they took to Agbonlahor’s latest controversies with appropriate outrage.

One Villa supporter took to Change.org on Tuesday morning to affect change.
