I would 100% have taken it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People cannot truly believe a premier league footballer has not failed a drug test. Barcelona with there high intensity football, Man City now. Players leaving the field not even out of breath or sweating. It's rife, but it would ruin the premier League if it came out, it would ruin football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live with a professional footballer for a few years and met many of them, I used to socialise with them... This is why I wouldn't be surprised if it was coke. Obviously they aren't all on drugs, many are decent family people. No i've not. But even so, I'm not sure how any of that relates to Grealish. The guy likes a drink, that much is obvious, most 26 year olds do. I don't understand why many on this foum are suddenly associating him with coke. There's nothing to suggest that, regardless of what other footballer have done in the past. 57 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: There is no evidence but shitfaced with a lollipop in your mouth isn’t a good sign.

Popular Post Tomaszk Posted February 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) There was a great article by Jonathan Wilson about how Grealish and Sancho should have gone to the other side of town. Playing for Utd, with no tactics, Grealish would be a super duper star now. He'd be motm every game. He didn't want that. He wanted titles and medals and Pep. Enjoy it Jack.

He’d have dragged United into the top 4 as well, no doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2022 I think there would be equal, probably more criticism in him joining Man Utd and not winning stuff. He might be more of a star there, earn similar money there, but I guess ultimately he wants to win things. Wanting to win stuff is commendable. Although as I and others have said plenty of times before, there is the sense there’s an ego/pride thing where he needs to be the star. Certainly not slightly towards the periphery like he currently seems to be. Winning the title at a canter, yep, great, tick that one off. But the thought could possibly cross his mind that he was kinda surplus to requirements and so it might cheapen it slightly. I don’t know, only one person can answer that. I think if I won something as part of a team and I felt like I’d been not as contributory as I could have been, it would feel slightly hollow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I loved Jack, I probably would have been all for this exchange. Funnily enough though, we'll likely still finish around 11th even with all that, so we can't discount his massive influence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever had a lollypop while drunk, you'll know, it ain't best practice. Exactly, the signs are there. If you know, you know. Some don't know which is why they are horrified by the mere suggestion. These guys are above the law (most of the time), companies, organisations, football clubs worth billions of pounds will protect them. Stories can be embargoed from going to press, there is literally so much we have no idea about. Like the whistle blower said in the Independent article I linked earlier, drugs and in particular Coke are rife in football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
