I think his willingness to do it against us though kills any lasting belief that he is or was ever 'one of us' though. He's nowhere near as big a Villa fan as he makes out. He's far more interested in brown nosing the big names/celebs than showing respect for his former club. His desperation to be liked by these people is extreme, and cringe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2023 I don't think he manufactured the contact. He's clearly clipped by JJ. I do think he could have stayed on his feet afterwards though, which I guess is the disappointing bit. I don't think the clip has really tripped him up, although it's hard to tell from slow motion replays. I don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be, but yeah it's slightly disappointing that he's gone down so easily against us. But that's his game, we shouldn't really be surprised.

Manufacturing contact isn't cheating, or against the rules. He did it several times a week for us and we loved it. It's what comes after that that makes it a dive, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 We were mad about Pogba Vs Douglas Luiz (and so was Dougie), but in hindsight it shows the natural movement of someone who trips themselves up due to prior slight contact (that they initiated, unwittingly in this case). He's still trying to get to the ball after his heels clip but loses his footing. Meanwhile Jack is already on his way onto the floor as soon as he feels the contact from JJ. There's also way too much upper body theatrics. A slight tap on your calf is not making you do this, I'm sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Grealish intentionally brings his leg across JJ to make contact. It’s that simple. It wouldn’t happen otherwise. Jack “my club” Grealish diving in the most pathetic way when they are two up instead of carrying on is most telling. Nothing about how he falls is from natural contact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheating, for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this that bothers me, too, and the histrionics of pleading for a pen. **** that. It's just self-pitying theatre. People say it's "modern football," but modern footballers aren't all arsewipes, either. Some are, some aren't. I think we know which Grealish is. It's just disrespectful to Villa. The whole "is he a real Villa fan or not?" debate doesn't interest me much. These footballers have short careers. They will follow the money if they know what's best for themselves and their families, and I'd never hold that against one. But he didn't need to go begging for pen against Villa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they did some official club twitter content thing with him, a Villa trivia type thing. He didnt even know the year Villa were founded amongst a lot of other wrong answers iirc. I dont think he ever treated the club with any respect, always been in it for himself, we were just the platform for him. Any Villa fan knows what this club is and how far short its fallen from its true placing and potential in the game. It needs a determined group to all stick with it together to drag it back there, and he couldnt wait to get out rather than see it through when we were on the right path. He made us feel like Notts County the way he was going on when he moved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made us feel like Notts County the way he was going on when he moved. To be fair, we might as well be Notts County compared to those cheating Mancs. The gulf between us is gigantic. We've taken 1 point out of a possible 24 against them since coming back up and scored just 7 goals. You would think there were a few divisions between us on these showings.

villa4europe Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Just seen the all black boots, usually means they're about to change boot deal so had a Google and it looks like he's about to sign the highest boot deal ever for an English player, should be over £4m a year Crazy, £75k a week for his boots, he'd be a good earner at the villa on that wage Edited February 15, 2023 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
