Villa have fucked themselves trying to constantly pass to Grealish.

But fuck me that Olly Watkins goal should have stood. That long to check … it’s a fucking goal. 2 and half minutes lost on the clock.

EDIT: He’s getting fouled anyway. Should have been a pen.

So… VAR - was looking at offside and missed an obvious Pen. Da fuq

Pep must be livid. I need a ball playing CB, sold Douglas Luiz.

Heard him talking on the radio earlier today. He really struggled with it at the time and it really confirmed that Terry is an utter cuuuunt

Terry doesn’t seem like a great character to say the very least but that incident was weird. There were at least two or three black players in his own team that day. He doesn’t seem like the sort of guy to think things through exactly but racially abusing an opposing player when you’re in a team with several black teammates doesn’t add up. I’ve read the Interview with Ferdinand in the guardian as well and still makes no sense even if he’s clearly struggled since.

I remember reading at the time, he couldn’t get a work permit to play at Man City, but could at Aston Villa.

JT called him a black Michael Fabricant? I remember them not shaking hands at a game afterwards, but couldn’t remember what was said.

Gunna watch this tomorrow. I didn’t realise that’s what he said.

I have no attachment to JT at all aside from being stoked on him for England … but fuck man, mad how you can carry on playing for England, win trophies for a top club for years after this incident, go on to assistant manage a Championship, and eventually an EPL team.

Skateboarders have been fully cancelled for less.

Side note, shagged his team mates Mrs as well.

and made fun of Americans after 9/11 of course. He’s really done it all!

I remember the clip, if he’d just straight up said that to him it would’ve been easier to call out than it was. It looked like he was quoting him or something which makes even less sense.

I’ll watch the doc later today I reckon.

And he’s got a cunty face.

Fridays Villa vs Newcastle game has been postponed as Newcastle have had a covid outbreak in the squad.

The team he plays in needs to adapt to him to get the best out, yeah he’s not Bergkamp/his touch isn’t the best for an elite player but I think he’s hugely underrated and United were fools to get rid. Rashford is on what 2 goals in 9 apps, Martial on zero…

Yeah I’ve watched it and I agree that you shouldn’t be allowed to play on as England captain if you’re under a criminal investigation.

The incident itself is weird, you even see Ashley Cole in shot so I find it unlikely he’s going to be shouting that at an opposing black player even if he has a long history of being an utter idiot.

It hit hard when Ferdinand had to read the stuff in the press, anti-racism organisations should not be putting pressure on a player who hadn’t even confirmed one way or another if he’s heard anything. The FA’s behaviour sadly doesn’t surprise me at all, I’ve only ever been disappointed by them.

One other thing that I’ll take away is that Ferdinand was right in that not enough people ask (especially men I think) if someone is ok. Maybe it’s the bravado in sport playing a part as well but it would be nice to think that people might do this more.

Yeah and that doesn’t mean he was directing the insult at him.

Pretty sure it’s not what I’m doing.

Well you’ve said it, not me.
