Jack Grealish speaks about the car crash for the first time, saying he is “deeply embarrassed” by events over the weekend.
He says received a call off a friend to go to their house and “stupidly” agreed, only to end up in an incident with another vehicle on Sunday morning.

He said: “Hi, everybody just want to do a quick video message just to say how deeply embarrassed I am by what has happened this weekend.
“I know it is a tough time for everyone at the moment, being locked indoors for so long, and I obviously got a call off a friend asking to go round to his and I stupidly agreed to do so.
“I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake as I did so I obviously urge everyone to stay at home and follow the rules and the guidelines of what we’ve been asked to do.
“I know for a fact that I will be doing that in the near future now and like I said I urge everyone to do the same.
“I hope everyone can accept my apology and we can move on from this and hopefully in the near future we can all be out enjoying ourselves again once this has all boiled over.”

His Premier League club said in a statement: “Aston Villa is deeply disappointed that one of our players ignored the Government’s guidance on staying at home during the Coronavirus crisis.
“Club Captain Jack Grealish has accepted that his decision to leave his house was wrong and entirely unnecessary. It breached the government guidelines which are clear and should be adhered to by everybody.
“The player will be disciplined and fined with the proceeds donated to The University Hospitals Charity in Birmingham.”

Most teams who have argued that the season should be scrapped have normally been teams facing relegation who argue that "health comes first"
However, it is clear that while other clubs are obeying Government rules, Villa aren't. Therefore they should be punished with relegation

The fact you earn more in a week than the Doctors saving people’s lives do in a year, and yet still couldn’t work out in your thick, borderline remedial brain that going outside would possibly kill people and at the very least be likely to make more work for the NHS is disgusting

Only appologising as you got busted. Otherwise you’d be round your mates all the time while people like me are at home bored out my brains.
