Simon Jordan blasts ‘moron’ Jack Grealish after jibe during Man City celebrations

Simon Jordan has branded Jack Grealish a ‘moron’ after his jibe at Newcastle United forward Miguel Almiron during Manchester City’s title celebrations.

Grealish secured his maiden Premier League winners’ medal on Sunday after City fought back from two goals down to beat Aston Villa 3-2. The ex-Villa captain didn’t make it off the bench at The Etihad as Ilkay Gundogan inspired City to victory.

He has angered pundits and supporters with a dig at Almiron, when he suggested teammate Riyad Mahrez was playing like the Paraguayan before Pep Guardiola substituted him. Grealish made the comments in a video with teammate Bernardo Silva during celebrations in Manchester city centre.

TalkSPORT host Jordan has become the latest pundit to condemn Grealish's dig at Almiron. He said: "The bottom line is it takes Jack Grealish back to where he belongs in moron territory engaging his mouth before he engages his brain.

"There’s no problem with him having banter with his teammates that’s absolutely fine, if someone was to say he was taking the mickey out of Riyad Mahrez you’d say it was banter, they’ve got that rapport.
