HATCHET MAN: Barry may have a short memory but we have not forgotten your act of betrayal
Aston Villa's fantastic season so far seems to have left Gareth Barry re-writing history. After spending the summer doing almost everything he could to leave the club for Liverpool, the upturn in Villa's fortunes has left him claiming he is not the sort of player who would step out of line.[LNB] [LNB]Selective memory: Gareth Barry[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...

It can go through your head what others have done to get away from a club, but that was just not the reputation I would have wanted.'[LNB]No, Barry would never take his gripes with Villa public and tell the world his next move in a newspaper interview such as the one he gave the News of the World last June.[LNB]'My mind's made up, I want to join Liverpool,' he said then. 'There's no going back, it's time for me to move on. I'm desperate to play Champions League football and that's why I have to leave Villa.[LNB]'It's seven weeks now since the season finished but while the gaffer's found time to be a pundit for the BBC at Euro 2008, he hasn't found the time to speak to me. But Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has shown how much he wants me at Anfield.' [LNB]Probably best to keep your selective memory to yourself, Gareth.[LNB] [LNB]
