That's horrendous. The entire media, including our own media team it seems, seem to be living in this weird world whereby Villa fans will be more than happy to accept their position as a feeder club to bloody Man City and will give nice brave Jack who was obviously way too good for us a nice big cheer and a clap.

He can fuck off.

I don’t intend on applauding Jack tonight, but the lad spent the best part of 20 years of his life at the club and served us well, so won’t be booing him either.  I do feel bitter that he left us, but we have to move on and I think jeering him would be small time.

Its a real shame as a collective we couldn't all just refrain from Booing or cheering as that would be a great response.

Whoever posted that shite on the AVFC website needs the fucking sack, pronto.

It's also on their FB Page as well as, I assume, their Twatter feed.

I might just be mellowing in my middle years, but I don’t really have too much of a problem with this.

I've just seen this.

Infuriating. We really do have a lot of fans and people at the club who seem to think we should 'know our place'.

Pathetic.

He pissed all over his own people and that article shows that he doesn't have villa in his heart. If he thinks he can come back when he's past it he can Go F**k himself.

Our club was always a bigger club than his current club. They won the lottery and contributed greatly to our downfall by using their new wealth to buy Barry, Milner and Delph. Then, when we got back on our feet he f**ked us again only harder than the others.

I resent him more with every day that passes.

Its just the food chain, do other clubs have a morbid hatred of us for taking their best players. How about Brentford where we have paid big money for Hogan, Konsa and Watkins, the only difference that they re-invested better and improved.

There are thousands of comments on Twitter that don't seem *quite* that indifferent...

Pathetic.

Absolutely. And they seem to have stormed the moral high ground to look down at the rest of us.

[Drummond]

Load of fucking shite. Wankers the lot.

[pauliewalnuts]

Fuck Grealish and fuck that tweet too, how mindbendingly small-time.

He's moved on, fuck him and fuck the club he plays for. All this "welcome back Jack" stuff is vomit inducing.

[Rigadon]

Oh my god that’s hideous. 

[AV82EC]

Serious serious misjudgement by the club, puke inducing. Did like someone suggesting it was part of his release clause.

Modern fans innit. Some twat on Twitter with a picture of Ratboy as his profile pic called me sad yesterday for daring to opine that I wasn't delighted to be welcoming Greasy back to Villa Park.

I saw a parody on Twitter from a random account replacing Joe with Scott Carson. Very salient point, and with Kyle Walker too as highlighted by DW in his pre match piece. Do it for all or none.
