Zat Knight arrested: Front page of The Sun

Ah well easy come easy go

Cant see the problem its only Crack cocaine and heroine FFS

In with the wrong crowd, maybe unknowingly.

Welcome Hendrie mk II. ;)

ok lets try and inject some humour into the story

put a line down and pick your side

If he scores at least he can do the Robbie Fowler celebration!

Someone really needs to crack the whip :P

this is england , drugs in every other house on the street. Every pub,boardroom and gym.everybody knows someone who dabbles or deals. However there is a reasonable argument to filling all footy players full of uppers and watching them go at it for 90mins.

i didn't like him before, but now he has won me over. nothing like a bit of a party to celebrate his move to villa.

Brilliant!!!!! Great start...means bugger all though they probably arrested the dogs aswell on suspicion to cover themselves!

Seems a simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. MON would have known about this before the press conference, if he or the club had any doubt on his innonecnce the deal would have been pulled

KnHIGHt. Zatyiah. We expected imposing german defenders, dribblers from France or simply a good home-made goal poacher like Defoe. We got Zat and his Erdington raid instead. I'm holiding fire until the morning of the 1st when we will finally know what the hell is going on at the Villa, but so far this summer's been laughable.

Great start to his life at the Villa. Maybe he was persueded to come to the club by Reo-COKEr?? I think Martin needs to CRACK the whip now before he really steps out of LINE.

Ok cheesey, but what the hell!! ha ha

Well, he wasn't arrested or even a suspect so no biggy.
What happened to the days when guys could shift some cocaine down their nose without the police coming in!! :D

we need to put our minds on the game not zat life.lets think about the games ahead.if the papers want to talk rubbish let them.we should be welcomeing zat to villa.

He must have got JPA's old locker in the Bodymor and found his stash of columbia's finest

Just goes to show hes a propper brummie at heart :P

if as the club said.. inadvertidly caught up in it and at no point thought to be a suspect...

WHY WAS HE BAILED INSTEAD OF RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGE??

I just read a piece about this - it was his mother's house where they found all the gear and the other bloke that was arrested was his brother Carlos.

Another house owned by Zat was raided too. Looks very dodgy.

I think he should be the focus of the main article in the Heroin and Villains, sorry Hero's and Villians!! lol

Duno what to make of this really, if thats true about being his family's house, it sounds very dodge!!

Hopefully he's as clean as a whistle and it doesnt get blown out of proportion or else his career with Villa will be very short lived!!

sorry i might have missed something, when did this happen?
was it last night or the night before?

Oh well, I may as well jump on the bandwagon: I reckon Zat will surprisingly turn out to be a CRACKing player for us.

play it down the LINE zat

What an idiot, we dont need a wannabe gangster like half the inner city clowns in Brum. He's 27, can expect it if he's 19. Said that his bro Carlos broke his jaw "play-fighting", ha ha, when do blokes in their mid-20s brake a geezer's jaw play-fighting? This guy is not only clumsy on the field, but off it too. If he cant even handle is younger bro how the hell is he gonna handle Drogba???!!

Still he's a Villa boy, and MON (hopefully) wuda known about the raid/arrest so I'll give him a chance. Hopefully it'll be all right on the Knight.

Wonderful how quick some are to turn on others from a news story emerging from *The SUN*. That pretty much should say it all. Actually reading the story, it seems like they're piggybacking the signing news. Had Zat not made a move the past day, it probably would have been a 'brother of footballer' news story rather than the roundabout shoddy Columbo work that's going on.

But in case that isnt enough, here's the other side to the story (because, you know, there often tends to be): LINK=villa-star-zat-i-m-innocent&method=full&objectid=19709929&siteid=50002-name_page.html

Some of you really need to put away the nooses until all the facts emerge.

It's quite obvious his bro is shoddy. I'm not trying to say he's a crack head but we dont need that type of $hite happening at VP. We got rid of Hendrie, dont need a media replacement!!!

But how else will we get our 'outside football' column inches? ;)

In all seriousness, though, his brother shouldnt be used for a yardstick for Zat's own behaviour. If it turns out there's an influence, then fair enough, but I dont remember Zat being in much trouble before this. And I'm sure he's not the only footballer out there with a shady family member.

Not to mention we have one of the better man managers out there - if there IS a problem, you can be pretty sure O'Neil wont stand for it.

Until then, I'm not going to judge the kid's (urgh, that makes me sound older than I am, lol) future career at VP when he's not even kicked a ball yet, and allow him the benefit of the doubt... especially when that same doubt originates from 'The Scum'; hardly a bastion of highly held journalism.

perhaps he could sell petrov a wrap of speed and get a preformance out of him

i must say i couldnt stop laughing wen i red meangene comment lol :D

Oh zat night! Zat night ve haff a leetle party and I powder my nose and he sniff my crack.

And now it's in ze bloody papers!
