See you soon. Mind if I share this? It's Outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the other day and he was following both Emi’s I’m sure of it. If I’m misremembering I apologise, but he’s quite telling if he never followed back our record singing. Feels like he did unfollow him though. I should have taken a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Remember I said expect a fluff piece and the £100m hopefully you believe me now. I wasn’t lying about United last year. he did do a lot off the pitch for fans and charities, but they’ve viewed us as a catapult for a few years now. Nobody is bigger than the club we would do well to remind him and his family of that nov 30th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I am not sure what to say about Grealish really. I'd love to make out he is just another player leaving but I'd be a lying b**tard if I did as it doesn't feel like that. I'm 47 and you'd think by my age you wouldn't get an emotional attachment to a player but like many of us I did with Jack. Believed hook line and sinker in him being one of us and it was great seeing one our own who just happened to be the most gifted attacking player I have seen in a Villa shirt. To me that was clear from very early on that he was exceptional. Watching him develop was about the only good thing about the club for a while. To then witness him captain us back to the Premier league, be a big influence on us retaining that status and then kicking on was fantastic. I felt so much pride also seeing him at the Euros but conversely it ruined the Euros for me as well as I was so pissed off when he wasn't picked. Given all the above now he has decided to go it all seems a bit hollow. He is leaving before the fairytale has finished. The club is on the up and striving with every sinew to reach the top in the next 2-3 years and for him to bail now before even reaching his prime is a real kick in the teeth. I'll never now see him in the same way as I see Cowans and McGrath. 213 appearances, 96 in the top flight and none of them in his prime isn't anywhere near enough to warrant legendary status. Not at this great club it isn't. Shame as I feel he robbed us all of being able to say we were around when the legend Jack Grealish played for us. He may just also be the last player I really buy into emotionally but even at 47 I hope not. Edited August 5, 2021 by markavfc40 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Well I think it's time for me to resign this thread to room 101. I've been refreshing it more than I care to admit these last few weeks and it is not healthy! There is nothing more to say that hasn't already been said a thousand times. Captain Jack, Super Jack, incredible player. Thanks for the memories and good luck fulfilling the rest of your dreams. We move on without you to bigger and better things. Never forget, shit on the blues! UTV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, there are so many plastics, even if individually theyre worth less in terms of revenue, as a whole, they dwarf "real fans". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
