Karaoke kings
FRIDAY night in Malaga it can only mean two things: the Villa squad are either getting ready to let loose on the fire extinguishers on their last night in the sun, or Wayne Routledge is set to become the butt of all the jokes on the karaoke machine.
Last year it was Phil Bardsley, Ashley Young and Shaun Maloney who came in for some merciless banter (John Carew probably didn't on account of his size).
This time Routledge was the only January arrival and had nowhere to hide.
So what will he sing?
A lifelong Liverpool fan, he could strangle the life out of: "You'll Never Walk Alone" but he'll be jeered off the stage within seconds if he tries.
No, my money is on the John Barnes fan trying to conjure up his version of the Anfield Rap from the ill-fated 1988 Cup Final.
Rap-king Barnes went: "I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barn-es
"When I do my thing the crowd go bananas".
Routledge could perhaps counter: "I come from Tottenham, my name is Wayne 'Rout',
"Will I ever get a game? There must be a doubt."
Not great. But neither was Craig Johnston's.
