RE: Grealish (sp?)

Chances are, given they don't drink during the season, he had a couple of pints and a tequila shot and fell over. Big deal. I couldn't give a toss. If he comes back unfit for pre-season training, fine; fine him. If he gets pissed on his own time, so what? He wouldn't be the first.

If I (were to - heaven forbid) come into work unfit to perform (at the beginning of the day), I'd get a bollocking, and quite right too, but if I leave work at the end of the season, i.e. at the weekend, or Christmas or whenever and I fell asleep in my mate's garden, that's my business - even if he photgraphs me and puts it on facebook. This is just the media going mad. Look at every BBC poll of the day - hashtag howf**kingextremecanwebetodayfolks?

He's just a kid on holiday, let him have a laugh. Didn't most of us do something silly at some point? Just coz he earns lots of money, doesn't mean he's not allowed to do it. If he f**ks his career up, fine, that's his problem, not ours to judge. I couldn't care less if he f**ks his career up; nothing to do with me. And same holds for any Norwich player - I'd be disappointed, of course, but that's their decision, not some duty to me as a supporter that they 'owe' me something. I pay my money to watch them and I want them to perform, but I don't believe it gives me any right to decide how they live their lives.

The media seems to suggest to us that we can decide how others live their lives simply because we pay part of their wages. Well...do you tell Liam Gallagher not to be a t**t just because you buy his CD? No... Do you tell Mel Gibson not to be an anti-semite just because you watch his movies? No... so why should supporters judge how a footballer lives his life just because they buy a match ticket. That's utter bollocks.

I dislike the impact the press has on British public, by the way, in case that was too subtle...
