Condimentalist Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 He's English, talented, arrogant, young, foolish and has twatty hair. Of course our shite media are after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose away from home, be 2 points off relegation - go out and get smashed. But it's OK boys because you're not paid to be a great athlete or anything. Out on Sunday, but you've got Monday to recover - yay! God bless footballers. You can choose to look at it that way, as is your right. The way I see it, on my way back from Preston I met a couple of nice lads who happen to be footballers admittedly drowning their sorrows on a Sunday afternoon before heading home at 5pm a full two days before training. I had more of a conversation with the ex-Villa player than I did the current one. From what he told me he is/was having a horrible time of it at his club and I can only assume, given the timing, that so was our current player. Hopefully things have changed and their Sunday pint can be a celebratory one. Edited October 28, 2016 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 31, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2016 Looks like he's being substituted after 35 minutes of tonight's reserve game, possibly injured. Bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we could still play McCormack behind Kodjia and Gestede with Gabby on the bench before we even start looking at some of the young talent we have - it's an embarrassment of riches going forwards thankfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Green and RHM come back into the mix. It is unreal the amount of good forward players, for this level, that we have. If we had anything like the same riches in midfield we would be laughing.

VillaChris Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Would've only had him as sub this weekend...I'm quite surprised he's started as many games as he has recently....gone off form and all the off the pitch stuff. Be interesting what we do this weekend....options are a bit limited but yeah I think Kodjia and Gestede as front two with McCormack in a free role is worth a go aswell.

Nath182 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The injury appears to be nothing to worry about, he just needed a shit... Birmingham Mail Quote Jack Grealish was forced off with an upset stomach as he was given the opportunity to impress for Aston Villa’s U23s in front of the watching first-team boss Steve Bruce. The Villa attacker was lively in the first half and looked a class act in the middle of the park until he departed on 39 minutes. Grealish looked distressed and quickly told the officials that he needed to leave the field before darting down to tunnel, presumably to use the toilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent first half against Barnsley before fading badly second. Listening to a game on the radio is absolutely no way to judge a player. Ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Redmond for instance started off at the shambles down the road and is looking a proper player these days. Jack should take note. Talent alone is not enough. you are right unless you are : Paul McGrath George Best Paul Gascoine and he isn't sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Can you imagine it. The media would crucify McGrath (see what I did there!) today. Same with Gazza or Besty. Social media and clearings in the woods with smartphones would be posting every gory detail of their vices (they did a number on Gazza back then - imagine now). That's before we start to add in how much less socially acceptable it is nowadays. Although on a serious note, it is sad to see Gazza now. He looks terrible. He has bought it on himself though - but what a waste. Jack - take heed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
