Fabian Delph looks like he has gone back on his word - his second word - and performed a heartbreaking U-turn that has left Aston Villa fans thinking 'what the hell is the point'.
The Aston Villa star, just

And, naturally, football fans far and wide got a good kick out of it. More naturally, some Villa supporters were at a loss with the betrayal of their best player only a day after Benteke's move to Liverpool looks nailed on. Their reactions were still hilarious too.
