New talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor is learning the hard way that sometimes your words come back to bite you in this game.
Having described Leeds as a myth, urging pundits to ‘get out of Marcelo Bielsa’s a***’, the Aston Villa legend probably watched on in horror as the Whites beat his former side 3-0 at Villa Park on Friday night.
A Patrick Bamford hat-trick spoiled Villa’s 100 per cent start to the season – and also left Gabby slightly red-faced.
Elaborating on his barb about Leeds on talkSPORT last Tuesday, Agbonlahor had insisted praise should be directed towards Villa boss Dean Smith instead of Bielsa.
Agbonlahor said: “Everyone is getting excited about Bielsa, but if you’re getting that excited by Bielsa, you must be putting the red carpet down for Dean Smith.
Leeds are a myth maybe all the pundits will get out of bielsas a…e

“Maybe because he’s English we don’t get too excited by him, but what he’s doing, tactics-wise, at Aston Villa, he deserves a lot of credit.
“I feel like people need to calm down with Leeds United at the moment.”
As you can imagine, Leeds took great pleasure in ruining Agbonlahor’s Friday night.
They tweeted his comments alongside an image of Bamford celebrating his third goal, with the caption: “How it started… how it ended.”
We’re certain Gabby will have something to say about that next time he’s on air…
