I've criticised him myself, plenty of times. I was commenting on the general shift in tone of the thread after one average performance. I read your post but the "Jesus wept" part sounded like you was unhappy about the criticism he was receiving I personally think grealish has been a lot better than last season, but he still has a long way to go to live up to the hype. Personally I saw a lot more in albrighton when he first broke through. still can't believe we let him go on a free!

DCJonah Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think this slowing down criticism is over used. It's intentional most times to allow the lb to over lap. He's not lightning fast so he's not going to beat a man for pace, he's clever. He's always done it. I'd rather that than the ayew approach of run at people till you lose the ball. 2 goals from a winger in a team that isn't scoring enough. He's fine for me in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Even so it seems his mates are a bad influence, it takes sacrifice to reach the top. Jack needs to start cutting these clowns out if he wants to reach his full potential 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Photos, or it didn't happen. Or was it a chamber maid who found a couple of condoms (mistaken for balloons)? Either way, none of her business... or his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I couldn't care less what he does in his spare time. As long he's performing on the pitch and adding to his goals then why do we care.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So a source at the hotel and a source close to Jack...in other words they can make up anything they like...surprised someone at the hotel would want to remain anonymous, his "mates" of course just want the papers £ Again it's a nothing story with no context, Jack's party? Was it really? Police kicked people out? And yet no comments from the police...was Jack revelling, was he even still there at 7.45am, was he on the balloons? Doesn't matter because it's written in a way that implies he was Difference between this and the last time is the club reacted in a way that pretty much wrote his season off, hopefully this time we'll see a captain manager and owner rally round our player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 21, 2016 The reactions to this are interesting. It seems as though the willingness to believe this Daily Mail article and also whether to believe the guilt of Grealish's actions at a hotel party seem to correlate with people's opinions of the person. Now I'm not suggesting that this is any kind of court of law, but what that 'newspaper' has written would not stand up in anything other than a twitter kangaroo court. Let's see what the club do first. EDIT : If I had to guess, I'd say it'll be a reprimand for just being present at a party and giving scum like the Mail any ammunition at all. Which will satisfy neither side of the fanbase because the side that want to castigate him won't have the NOS factor, and the side that want to show he has completely changed will still have to admit he was at a party. The question then becomes whether it's OK to be at a(ny) party a full week before your next game. I expect the answer to that question will also depend on whether people are motivated to find him innocent or guilty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
