......and according to my Aunty:

Friday, 1 December, 2000, 11:59 GMT Ginola happy at Aston Villa

David Ginola is quite content at Villa Park David Ginola has pledged his future to Aston Villa - and dismissed claims that he wants to quit the club.

Ginola is fuming at reports that he wants to leave Villa because of his lack of first team opportunities under manager John Gregory since his £3m summer move from Tottenham.

He has been restricted to just four starts for Villa after suffering a series of injuries including a back problem and a torn thigh muscle.

But Ginola insisted "I'm very happy at Villa - and don't want to leave" and Gregory has brought him back into the starting line-up for Saturday's match with former club Newcastle after regaining full fitness.

He said: "There is absolutely no truth in the stories whatsoever. I'm very happy at Aston Villa and I'm looking forward to playing against Newcastle.

"I haven't spoken to anyone about my position at the club - because there is nothing to discuss.

"All I've done is concentrate on getting fully fit and now people are trying to put words in my mouth.

"The headlines in the papers make it look as if I've said these things. Nothing could be further from the truth."

I'd have him back, but I don't think his wife would be too happy to return.
