Phil and Jack on the lash?

Genuinely thought from the chat about it that they must've done a few lines of charlie, three jagerbombs each, got kicked out of 42s for starting a fight and then stumbled home at 4AM to drunkenly piss in the walk-in closet before passing out until sunset.

Looks like they just had a few too many drinks, stayed out a bit too late and were a bit hungover in the morning. Can see why Pep has to say "look, we can't be having that" but the reaction on the fan side has been over the top IMO.

I would not say fan reaction is over the top but outrage that they are endangering and risking the rest of the squad by their actions. It’s a privilege the job and stage they are at. They make in a week the average fan will not make in 5/10 years or more in some cases. Key to a successful career is to be grounded and humble. Just look at the waste that players like Gazza, David James, Merson, Gary Charles, Tony Adams to name but a few find themselves with their vices.

Pep flew out to Sergio's retirement do and Phil and Jack thought they would take advantage and head out on the town, which wouldn't have been too bad apart from acting like amateurs at training the next day and being too thick to realise that Pep would know nothing about it.

Tbh, I'm stil struggling to understand why we paid £100m for a knob like Grealish, I always thought he was overrated as he played for such a shit team that anyone even a quarter decent would have stood out and it's not as if he hasn't got form for speeding, attending lockdown parties and doing a runner after crashing his range rover (and alledgedly slurring his words when doing so).

Jack Grealish: Aston Villa captain banned from driving

The England and Aston Villa player has also been hit with an £80,000 fine.

I'd keep Phil well away, he seems too easily led.

You don't try it on with Pep, plus he has taken on bigger egos than Jack before with them going before he has.
Would also suspect players like KDB and Father Rubén would have a quiet chat pointing out the error of their ways.
 
How are details about this getting leaked out anyway?

You'd think they'd want to keep this in house.

But did he come back worse for wear? He went to honour one of our ex-players not for a jolly or a drinking session.

He also went there to visit his family I suspect, he probably goes every week without the media knowing for a day or so, but he attended Sergios farewell in front of the media, it's not a story really.
 
Surprised anyone’s defending them and/or playing it down.

These are two stars for the best team in the country, if not the continent - at a time where our rivals are suffering the kind of covid outbreaks we’ve been lucky enough to avoid.

Fucking stupid, the pair of them, on account of their own match recovery and putting the rest of the squad at risk.

Hopefully they learn and move on, but it’s Phil’s 2nd moronic transgression and Grealish’s umpteenth.

I hope this is the last of it from both, but I’m not confident.

We don’t really know what actually happened. They could have been better or worse than we fear they were.

Going out during Omicron wave isn’t the best. Opens doors to “Did Jack and Phil‘s boozy night out cause the current Covid outbreak in the City squad” kind of headline should it happen.

you say putting the team at risk (covid). Surely that applies to most of the team and coaches though. Lots of them have been out at restaurants, markets and probably with groups of other people over the past week

I think this is being overblown and people are desperate at times to be outraged. Should they have gone out, probably not, but is it really that bad? They could have just had a few drinks or none at all? Do we really know

Guess it depends on where they’ve gone and how crowded it was.

Which should apply to foden and grealish. The place they visited probably was a private section of the bar/club, so there probably wasn’t many people with them. It’s all just speculation though. Like most of this thread
