Hideous Grealish and his manager’s blind eye are shocking

Here’s the horrible Grealish in action last night getting Pablo Fornals  into trouble

By Hugh Southon

I wouldn’t usually spend much time discussing an opposition player but I’ll make an exception in the case of cheating Jack Grealish – and indeed his manager Dean Smith.

The guy is a total disgrace to the game we all love and, as his captain, Smith, if he had anything about him, would have taken him aside a long time ago and said: “That’s enough sonny Jim – you are getting fellow professionals into big trouble with yellows and reds and this club’s reputation is too important for that.”

Instead it seems a blind eye is his way forward!

How often did the geezer fall somewhere near the penalty area last night – apparently in excruciating pain – before slyly grinning as the free kick was given by one of the most incompetent refs I’ve ever seen.

Not once did the man in the middle even think of giving the bloke a yellow – ghastly refereeing

Ok we have seen it from other players but Grealish is the first who appears to have developed it as a crucial part of his game.

Thank goodness we won because otherwise this piece would stink of sour grapes. That we did was the best punishment of all for the quite shocking behaviour we saw from him last night. He deserved absolutely NOTHING!

I’ll take Declan’s honest approach all day long but then as an old timer I still believe in the fair play ethic which in the horrible Grealish’s world are three words he probably doesn’t understand.

Last night was the first time I’ve watched him over 90 minutes and sadly I’m gonna have to again later in the season – what a shameful individual and Mr Smith it’s time you did your part in cleaning up this little man’s act.

Until you do you do you both share a footballing pig sty and a decent football club will continue to see it’s reputation slither and slide downwards.

He is your captain and you are keeping him in the job when as the video shows he’s a cheat.

And Gareth Southgate you need to give this a bit of thought!
