spiezels Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think the urge to criticise anything and everything Grealish does has reached a new level. A level that I might suggest is a little unreasonable. Bizarre isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2016 Fast-forward 18 months and I can see us back in the prem with a complete little player in Grealish. Should he not piss the opportunity up the wall again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Does get too much stick but he's asking for it posting photos of an ice pack on his poorly ankle. If you're under pressure as a young lad why are you even on Twitter. I follow basketball - guy for the San Antonio Spurs called LeMarcus Aldridge recently admitted his recent deletion of his Twitter account has made him more confident and his general performances improved massively. If you haven't adapted a good enough mentality to take criticism, which in my view Grealish hasn't (irrelevant of this specific post), just delete your social media. What purpose does it actually serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I like Jack he has fabulous potential, I find the expectations placed on him by us as a fanbase and the club when he's still a infant in terms of being a premier league player unreasonable and unhealthy for both parties. We won't see the best out of him for years yet and we'll see nothing at all if we get on his case and suffocate him. He has to be given the freedom to develop which through no real fault of his own he's not got the luxury of given our current predicament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or why he might not be 100% if and when he comes back. In a way he's potentially answering the stupider questions before they're even asked. Cuz we know what twitter is like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dounavilla Posted February 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2016 I don't understand all this need of having to be "liked" followed by complete strangers? Surly some mates should suffice? Any "likes" of this comment will be taken as an agreement that "likes" don't mean anything and that you in fact may "like" not "liking" my "like". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 This is the world we live in, and even though I'm not that much older than him, he's really a generation apart (from me and many of the posters on here) in terms of the importance of social media has in his life. He's of the mind set where everything needs to be shared and communicated to others. A picture of him injured and being angry is really just a banal event, being angry at being injured is perfectly natural, cryptically he could be angry at the person who caused it. Either way, there's nothing to see here, people who are getting upset presumably fail to see that this sort of behaviour (sharing everything on instagram/twitter etc) is perfectly 'normal' among his generation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Those were different times, thankfully no longer with us. People of all generations, post all sorts of pictures onto twitter and instagram, nothing to get hung up about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it makes me want to bust his head! We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
