Jack Grealish should say goodbye to his career - Everton doing well without him. Hope he has humility enough to buckle down and change.

I have no sympathy for Saudi Sportswashing Machine ..

I'm in favour of impartiality and people being aware of their unconscious biases. That is both at the individual and company level. I'm also a fan of people trying to do things with the highest integrity in life. Villa and Sky wouldn't be the first 2 companies to have to discuss relationship challenges at the employee level.

For the record, I'm not a fan of grown men and so called role models spitting in the direction of little girls either.

Discuss it behind closed doors. Do it as adults. Don’t add to the stupidity of pundits by releasing stupid statements like “we will not let anyone halt our ascension in English and European football.”

Absolutely no clue what spitting at girls has to do with it, but it sounds like maybe that has some weight in your opinion of Jamie Carragher and this specific case with Villa.

I have always been clear that Carragher should not have continued in his role after that incident. Doesn't matter how much he apologised, he unfortunately revealed his true character in that moment. That character should not be in one of the biggest jobs in football media. We need proper role models in these roles. That is my strong opinion.

As the BBC wrote, Villa's was a symbolic threat. Sometimes we need to do that in life as the best path to correction. That has happened with a massive climb down from Jamie. Villa do often take a combative stance with the media and I would have no problem with my club doing more of the same.

As the boys were saying on the pod this week about the Mateta incident, Alan Smith demonstrated some real bias against Spurs in his co-commentary. I would like Spurs to suggest that he doesn't commentate on our games in future. I've also met Alan Smith on one of my many England trips over the years. Top bloke and popular with the England fans who shared planes to away trips. However, Alan needs to manage his biases better, just like Carragher and Neville.

The Sky is red as they say.
