Anyone else finding this funny?

They probably don't have celery yet in the Midlands!

That Villa were 2-0 at home to the league’s bottom side, and contrived to then concede 3, scrape back level, and then miss an injury time penalty was already pretty funny, regardless of the cabbage.

This. Tho fair play to the steward at Villa whose thorough body search technique intercepted an attempt to smuggle a lettuce into the stadium. A club spokesman said: 'We remain concerned. Although we are obviously pleased to have intercepted the leafy vegetable, that was only the tip of the iceberg'.

Snowflakes!

No doubt will charge someone with throwing missile onto pitch, rather than celebrating novel way of voicing an opinion.

The Villa fan was a bit worried and wanted Bruce to turn over a new leaf. Didn't work and now Bruce has thrown a hispi fit

Typical..........................if it happened from the WSL, it would have been a lightly-tossed (and locally sourced) organic rocket, watercress and spinach salad, topped with some quinoa and goat's cheese and drizzled with herb-infused extra-virgin olive oil.

Celery is sooo yesterday.

Celery is sooo yesterday.

Perhaps there's a celery cap

Celery is sooo yesterday.

Easier to fit inside a flask, though...

Maybe it was a visiting fan from Brassica Monchengladbach?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Reminds me of the Boro' fan who threw his season ticket at the dugout .... on the second to last game of the season!

The flask brigade are sorted now. They can bring their hot beverage/wine to the ground inside a hollowed out cabbage and after consuming their half time drink there's the bonus of being able to luzz the used vegetable at the linesman/opposition manager/Locadia in disgust. Win win!

Quick thinking match officials managed to inject him with meat pie before the cabbage had time to take effect.
