Smith and Terry clapped our lads down the tunnel.

Wilder said " Smith and Terry were in the tunnel clapping our players because they recognise our players' performance today. That's a class act and people won't see that but I want to mention it"

Grealish apparently clapped our fans in South Stand, maybe it was more than a defence mechanism.


Respect.

I can’t comment on what DS did when he was in the tunnel, but when our players began to walk off, he appeared to be pointing & arguing with a blade in the SS and trying to get a steward to throw him out.

I took Grealish’s clapping and smirking as he walked past the SS as a continuation of his general shithousery and lack of self awareness that he possesses.

TBF to Grielish he was pissing himself at us chanting “Are you Grielish in disguise?” at Gilbert.

Class from Smith and Terry in all fairness. Acknowledging that they were beaten by a better side, good on them.

Grealish is an odd one. He is obviously a superb footballer, and if he cut the theatrics out of his game he could be world class. I hate him on the pitch for his playacting and rolling around, but every time I see him interviewed he comes across as being a normal, decent, down to earth brummie bloke. Obviously bleeds claret and blue and genuinely loves the club he's supported all his life and now captains.

I think he's worth more than we could afford, but I'd love to see him in our side.

Did the Blade deserve evicting? Smith is normally a good sort of bloke.

There is a thread about this

John Terry & Dean Smith

BBC Sport reporting that Terry & Smith applauded our players on the way back down the tunnel at FT. Add to that Grealish applauded our fans on the way back from the way end despite a chorus of "fkin useless" Huge respect to the playing and coaching staff at Villa for this 👊🏽

[Davalon]

Smith waited at the tunnel entrance to shake all our players' hands

Normally I'd hate someone like grealish but this isn't the case .I think the fact that none of his antics have ever gone on to directly affect us makes him a lesser evil and also when they won the play off final last season he was being interviewed on the pitch by the sky team which included wilder he went up to him after the interview and clearly told him that the blades where the best hed faced all season

Doesnt surprise me from Smith. Always seemed like a class manager.

I love Grealish. I don’t care.

Villa did what some of our supporters wanted us to do, spend big money on foreign players. I think it’s very difficult to integrate a lot of players into any side and it gets more difficult when they’re coming in from all ends of the earth. Despite having a Villa fan for a manager and one for a captain they haven’t got what we’ve created.
