Zatman Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 4 hours ago, The_Steve said: The press want to blame Villa and other clubs around the relegation places in case the season cannot be completed. Look what happened to Troy Deeney, some idiots were wishing death on his newborn son from the virus. Of course, this issue existed pre-social media, but the clickbait is fuelling this sentiment. Villa, Watford, Brightom, Bournemouth, Norwich and West Ham the bad guys for these fucktards in media and social media No surprise Mings taking a ton of abuse as nobody reads the actual article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC have posted about it 3 separate times today with some shoddy write up just making sure to include the best clickbait lines from the article. Talksport deleted their tweet after Mings himself called them out on it. The amount of people I've seen today who blatantly haven't read the actual article and talk utter rubbish is hilarious. Everything Mings said was fair and accurate but you know, the media have to twist it to their liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe intelligence is the wrong word. Whats the nicest possible way to say he doesn’t seem as stupid as your average footballer? I agree with you, I don’t think having a temper or nasty streak has anything to do with intelligence but I’m not a scientist, so I couldn’t tell you for sure I don’t think he’s stupid at all, from his interviews he comes across as very intelligent as well as being a very good defender on the pitch. He should just let his football do the talking but it’s easy for us to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted June 1, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2020 This fella stinks of leadership. He's an intelligent, confident, articulate and rounded individual and exactly the type of character I like associated with this football club. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Not sure how to link from twitter but he's made a post about a protest tomorrow saying 'see you tomorrow'. If he goes to it, with presumably no social distancing, what happens if he gets covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said on the previous page him signing with rocnation I think he will become very vocal talking in the community and be a great role model, the club should fully support him If grealish leaves then he will be the face of Aston villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If they are going to a protest then it must have been agreed by the club. I don’t think they should be going myself but it must obvious be very important to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) So is he gonna go out in the streets? The virus suddenly doesn't matter anymore? I find it absurd in his questions of safety yet here he is proposing to break quarantine putting himself at risk. I understand his passion for justice, i agree with him. But this is not the time. We're in a global pandemic. Edited June 4, 2020 by villalad21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legal requirement to have a reasonable excuse to be out and about in England ended on Monday morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be mobbed for sure. Apart from running the risk of getting it himself he could bring it back to the training ground. Could be a disaster for us.

Clubs and the player should be punished for this. There's a time and place for everything. In the middle of a pandemic is not the time to march the streets and demonstrate. Stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
