Villa_Vids Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Don't worry about him guys, he is showing his true colours - and they are Citeh blue (but he wishes they were Utd red! ). We know the truth. To quote my little buddy @GENTLEMAN - "Made in Aston, Bought in Manchester!" UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 He's certainly made the break up a lot easier as of late. His hopes of a hero's welcome back at VP are diminishing every time he opens his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't think he's got the class to do the traditional not celebrating thing scoring against a former team. There's absolutely no way he'd celebrate scoring against us. It doesn't take class or intelligence - every footballer does it to the extent it's actually just boring. Had a week-long trial for a team when you were seven and you've scored a winner against them to win your current side the league? Don't celebrate.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did to be honest and I think for a lot of players it depends on how they feel in the moment. It’s looking like the reception will be particularly brutal along the lines of Barry (rather than Milner for example). It wouldn’t surprise me at all in that environment if he decides in the spur of the moment to do a big **** you to the villa fans. I reckon one reason why the players with a tenuous previous connection to the club don’t celebrate is because none of the fans give a toss about them so don’t give them any grief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's correct because even Smith and Purslow said we had a massive over-reliance on him, thats why we purchased three players to replace him. Nobody gives a shit about the first quote. Second one, keep Villa's name out of your mouth if you're going to big up your teammates. How about "Mahrez? KDB? Jesus? Sterling? It's the most talented team I've ever played with!" and move on? In all of human history, there may be a time that leading a sentence with "No respect to X [.....] but" didn't come off as disrespectful, but I'll be damned if I can recall an example.

Tammy scored against us and refused to celebrate… and he was only with us on loan for half a season. We did (and some of us - including myself - still do) give a toss about him… but he never gave any reason or conjured any illusions that he was going to stay with us for longer than he was contracted to. But I honestly think Tammy is cut from a different cloth to He Who Will Not Be Named… If a goal were to be scored against us was to cost us a place in Europe… or possibly relegate us… I think the latter would celebrate if it meant he won a medal… or he could curry favour with fans of his new employer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cared about Tammy but he left on good terms (or at least not on bad terms) so no one gave him any grief. It's not a surprise in my book that he didn't celebrate against us on that basis. My point is that, if grealish gets a ton of grief at VP (which I fully expect him to), I can definitely see him celebrating in response if he scores. The Rooney comparison that someone mentioned earlier is bang on point in that respect. He still clearly cared a bit about Everton as he went there later in his career - his badge kissing/celebrations were likely a response to the abuse he got on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of them now and an opposition player. I realise I’m contributing to this but let it go and let this thread drop apart from posters who like ‘brand jack’. This. He has absolutely nothing interesting to say. To be fair we tolerated it as he was supposedly one of us but that seven minute video he did with Lescott was just two boring guys talking b******* Mings is the man by comparison: a good footballer, intelligent, charismatic and so forth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 There's no way he'd celebrate scoring against us. I imagine the game at Villa Park will be quite emotional for him. Let's just hope he never gets the chance anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Dean: “You read speculation about how much he's going to develop at City. Jack must have developed somewhat with Villa to become a £100m player. I take great pride in what everybody at Villa's done for him and what he’s done for us.” Mic drop. I personally think it was a bit disengenuous for Jack not to be more complimentary/appreciative to Dean/Villa. Sad thing is, some of our fans are the same.

Tom13 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Daniel Larusso turning his back on Mr Miyagi for Terry Silver in Karate Kid 3 was based on Jack Grealish. Except they had to change the story for Larusso to see the light as Grealish never did and remained a sellout.
