This is floating around on Twitter - Looking more and more like the right decision to flog him for £100m… Sadly unlikely to be just alcohol for our Jack, gurning away on that lollipop. I’m slowly moving from hoping he’d fail miserably to hoping he’s okay. Doesn’t look like he’s got the right people around him at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is floating around on Twitter - He's 26. He needs to grow the F up. That's embarassing - too drunk to get into a pub or club and filmed so publicly he cannot really walk unaided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Not gonna judge him for liking a night out, but surely getting that smashed affects your fitness? I thought he learned to separate work and play when we were in the Championship, only getting publicly shitfaced after the season was done, ie: playoff final etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post a m ole Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2022 I’d expect a top level professional footballer to not do exactly what Dave the accountant or Chris the brickie do when they have a few days off work to be honest. Especially every other week. Theres a point where the frequency and also the excess is a topic to talk about. Also just like everyone else 26 is a bit late to have learned how to reel it in. it will be fine, no huge deal, career will be good, will win trophies blah blah but I thought he had a chance of being a ballon d’or winner and I can say pretty confidently that won’t happen along side his need to get shit faced and engage in all the other noise. which again, is fine. Just a shame. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've said it before, I saw an interview with Denise Lewis a while ago talking about her career and she said the best thing about retiring was that she could now drink. And I believe that is the case with most elite athletes, they just don't drink as it does affect performance. Though I'm sure Ussain Bolt was drinking towards the end, then again his impaired performance was still streets ahead of anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He’s currently trending for: 1. A video showing him to be a substance abuser at a very high ilk 2. A video showing him to be an incredibly good hearted man You can be both of these things, but you can ‘t do both of these things and be an elite professional athlete. Somebody just kidnap him and lock him in BMH please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Is 26 still “a young lad making mistakes”? When I was 26 I was a full time professional and had been for about 2 years not pulling this shit anymore. I definitely did in my younger but I started having more responsibility. I guess footballers never really have responsibilities and have to provide for other people. Their own people will sort all that out for them. I hope for Grealish’s sake Man City are looking to stop this kind of behaviour. If he’s battling personal daemons I hope they get him back on track. If he’s just a massive bellend I hope that sort that out also. It’s a tragedy that we are just watching him throw it all away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 Tbh if he’s not doing it for us or with us then I dont care if he wants to do things to the detriment of his career. In fact I want him involved in as much scandal as possible because I dont want fans of another club enjoying him for what we know he can bring to a team. Might sound petty but its just how I feel. He’s ruined watching England for me because it just makes me sick that during the summer when I was backing him and bigging him up, watching the whole country get behind him, knowing now that whole time he’d sealed a move away. Made me feel stupid for being proud of him telling all my pals how Villa were moving to new heights with him leading the charge and how he wouldnt leave. Now the added salt in the wound is us having to watch him be very average but start every game for England in comparison to him being in the form of his life last season and not even make it off the bench. Its an insult. He celebrates goals against Villa in the away dugout, he has spoken down about Villa, looked for a way out for over 2 years, relinquished being captain of the club he loves, acted like an idiot off the field whilst being captain of his club. He was around to see the Delph saga, then put his own people through those same emotions. Thankfully its worked out well for us because of the fee but I still cant forgive him. He knew the intentions of the club and the owners; and had the chance to lead us into great times where it would have meant so much more. He should have backed himself and the club to get into the CL in the coming years but he chose to abandon it all. Keep posting with your blue hearts and keep your tongue firmly up some ginger Belgian’s kiester. \sorry for the rant 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is floating around on Twitter - This is pretty tough to watch. I have no idea if he has a problem as I’m not privy to his life, for all I know he drinks a few times per year and it just always happens to get caught on camera. But it’s getting to the point where I’m not remotely surprised that these sorts of videos keep coming out. Ffs, at the very least you have plenty of money - host people at your house instead of falling over outside a night club. I’m just hoping someone is looking out for his well-being, because if nobody is and this actually is a problem, the likely way it would end is in legal troubles or rehab (or both). It also makes me curious about English youth football culture (I have zero idea what it’s like). But it would be a massive shame if this is all happening because he watched the likes of Gabby and co. as a youngster at the club. Surely we have a professional team in our academy to keep the youth in line if they would ever start getting starry eyed at some less than ideal role models on the senior squad.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) The guys an idiot. Always has been always will be. We just don’t have to be ignorant to or defend his antics anymore. Let’s face it, if he wasn’t Villa captain we would have slaughtered him for his behaviour during covid. We also would have never wanted such a character signed at Villa. He got a free pass at the club. I was glad we got 100m for him in the summer so we could rebuild. Now I’m glad we also got that money for him because he’s an idiot. Wonder what Pep thinks about all this. Edited February 8, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Makes zero sense to me. Out on the lash in full view of everyone. Maybe he genuinely is struggling mentally . We all know that he is no angel and has been seen many times looking worse for wear. That break in Dubai might have set off his drinking again. Yes he is a bit of a clearing in the woods , but i don't think that he would knowingly go on a path to ruining his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he’s at City he has Gabby Mk II aka Kyle Walker (who is also in that new video going around) who has seemingly got him back to the antics. Of course he should be his own man and not follow the ****, but I think it’s pretty obvious he’s ended up back with a few bad eggs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, he was also hanging around with McCormack long after his exile from here. Surely, Pep will drop him for the Brentford game tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Case for the defence your honour: Maybe really he rarely drinks and therefore when he does have just a couple his tolerance is so low that it effects him more than most people and he ends up drunk. Couple this with him being massively recognisable, being in a public place and everyone in the UK with a phone being effectively paparazzi. Yeah I don't buy it either but am a sucker for playing devil's advocate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Ultimately, what he does with his life is his business as long as he's not hurting anybody. He's likely throwing away a long career at the top but if that's not what he truly wants, that's up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
