Agreed but the absolute vile spoken about Ederson was shameful, that guy from day 1 at this club has been magnificent, he HAS NEVER let this club down and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and one of the great and most likable characters in the game, yet some of our fan base think he is sh1t.
Said many times but where is this hate for Grealish? There is no hate , just disappointment that he has not fulfilled his enormous talent.
There are plenty in our squad that do far worse than Grealish off the pitch, some of the names you would be shocked by, but you don't get to hear about it because they perform on the pitch every game, that's the only difference.
Because Grealish is high profile, he and his Mrs live on social media, that comes with a price.
Just look at the Rodri posts, a humble man, lives simply etc, you never hear about the guy away from the pitch that's his choice, yet he was one that was utterly hammered on the night of winning our 4th title.

So basically we are a club full of degenerates?

you'd think so, going by the way some people on here talk.
Although some people's idea of a degenerate, piss head, alcoholic is a young lad in their 20s photographed having a good scoop at the end of the season and getting a bit pissed.
Sometimes I think I've joined a forum for monks!
The reality is we're not seeing photos of our players falling out of bars while shitfaced during the season. If they were, it'd be all over the Internet, you can guarantee that.
Nothing wrong with them having a blowout when the season ends. They deserve to have a skinfull after the effort they put in.
and winners, 4 in a row
:)
I don't give a dam what players do off the pitch as long as they do the business on the pitch.
David Silva had legendary status in the dressing room for some of his exploits but he kept his head down.

Does Rodri live somewhere cheap like Dukinfield near @Bigg Bigg Blue or somewhere more chic like Stalybridge.
I think so and no social media.
Social media has many benefits for high profile people, financial, endorsements, sponsorship etc but it has a huge downside if those same high profile people don't perform or stray off the straight and narrow.

Mr Ederson has some reputation that would make Kyle blush let me tell you.
Why is Pep saying he’s not training well linked to drink?
Has he coasted? He’s been injured, had personal problems and struggled for form. I wouldn’t, personally, say he’s come onto the pitch when he had and not been arsed or tried.
The training thing has been built up by his detractors to say that he’s not been arsed in training. As far as I’m aware, Pep said he was not training well. That can mean tactically, fitness wise, form - but everyone takes it as he’s turned up and sacked it off for some reason.
What direct evidence do you have that he’s been unprofessional?

Pretty certain Pep would have taken all avenues to stop a drink problem, including letting everyone know, my opinion is the ref`s allowed him to get kicked to death in an International season, something no other country would allow.

I have heard from a "source" that Grealish is incredibly professional and will not touch alcohol during an ongoing season, but when he drinks, he's all in
We saw this a few years ago with pictures of him in that gutter in Spain and we saw what condition he was in at the parade last year
Chances are, that if he was given the green light to hit the booze the other week, he won't just have had a few beers, it will have been an Oliver Reed type session

And how many football supporters do the same? Look at the photos of the Scottish Supporters in Germany at the moment. It's allowed when you are not playing.
Jack is a professional and I have also heard that he only drinks after the season is over.
Crikey at Wembley a few years ago I sat next to a woman who was well out of it and at half time actually fell asleep on my shoulder. Never met her in my life, never seen her since but the lad on the other side of her took a photo of it.
Jack has too much respect for Pep (& from Pep). JMHO

Some of the comments on this thread are just fanciful @ EB and from what I perceive to be a deep-seated dislike of Grealish. ( for what ever reason, and he didn't set the £100m transfer fee either )
If he was as bad as is quoted, I find it extremely hard to believe that a manager as intense and driven as Pep would tolerate some of the things he is quoted as having done.
And if it is his playing style which pisses posters off, do they believe that he isn't playing as instructed , because we all saw an entirely different player when at Villa.
It is very frustrating to see a player in the team getting such grief from people who have absolutely no genuine idea of the individual they are prepared to villify due to their personal perception or the shit comments from a City hating media.
But it is a forum where everybody has the opportunity to post their thoughts/opinions...............but it doesn't mean that they are worth reading or getting upset about .
