Dunno about you, but I don’t remember ever having a job that I’d dreamt of having since I was a child, where l was worshipped by thousands of people who all loved the same company that I had wanted to work for the entire time, where people brought replicas of the company uniform with my name on the back and where people sung songs glorifying me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention moving to an employer whose blatant breaking of anti-competition rules almost put “your club” out of business… and on top of that, cheating to help them succeed against “your club” all whilst crying to the media and putting out this false front that you have “your clubs” best interests at heart… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… id rather see that word removed on fire in a Man City team bus with all of his pals than represent our club again 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he did he just looked the full Pep version, zippy passes, turn back, keep the ball. Hes an absolute shadow of what he was at Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An employer very much like the Vegas casinos of old , built on illegal trading and enough money eventually washed to create a legitimate business. ‘I always wanted to be a citizen’ Jack Grealish talking whilst I go from rag to riches plays in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Who on earth is watching Man City games and why??? I haven't a clue how Jack Grealish or any of their cheating players are playing and won't do until we play them again. This thread should be on page 5 but it's always near the top of page 1 and I think it's bizarre. He left years ago and plays for the most desirable bunch of cheats ever to scar the game. They have their own thread. I realise the irony of me bumping it by posting but I do find the obsession with him weird, especially with where we are as a club now. Watching Man City cheating us and everyone else in the league is definitely not something I will ever be doing. F*** em.

VillaChris Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Can't see Grealish at a good level at 34-35 either. He'll probably be winding down abroad at that point (was going to say Saudi land but that's the last country he'd want to play in given his tastes....) It's a bit like Hendrie and Barry coming through at similar times. Both incredibly talented players and gave us good service for a decade each. Hendrie however was pretty much done at top level by 28-29 and he wasn't playing premier league by age of 30 when he dropped down to play for Stoke. Barry was still playing pretty well at premier league when he was 37-38 and that was no accident as think he gave up drinking when he was 20 after some incident we found out about. And in modern era you have Young and Milner who could well be playing premier league at age of 40, you could see when they played for us both had the ultra professional mentality. Edit: I get the feeling Pep has gone cold on him as he was probably leading Foden astray. There was certainly some issue around the World cup when they came to training hungover and Foden had a poor period of form after. When you lose Guardiola's trust your card is marked so no accident his starts have dried up. Edited February 11 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you lose Guardiola's trust your card is marked so no accident his starts have dried up. It’s quite telling that he’s known more for “vibes” and being embarrassingly drunk than things he did on the pitch for City. I mean, it’s not like didn’t do these things to the detrimental to himself and others, but equally, he was too good to drop. I just don’t see him being at the same level in 2-3 years tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont either but it's not because of any kind of stance against them, I'm just genuinely not interested I watched the last 10 minutes vs whoever they played 2 weeks ago when KDB came on and won them the game but I don't find man city an interesting team who I would purposefully watch even if it was vs say arsenal or Liverpool in a top of the table clash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
