You’ve just lost 6-0, what do you do?
Do you a) apologise to your fans on social media, b) stay radio silent due to humiliation or c) tweet a picture of a swanky Mercedes.
If you answered “c” then, congratulations, you’re Joleon Lescott.
The Aston Villa centre-back was, in theory, present for all ninety minutes of the 6-0 drubbing that Villa suffered on Sunday at the hands of Liverpool.
The bottom-of-the-table club were shambolic on the day and fans were right to be furious as they left Villa Park.
And fuel was very much poured on the fire when they finally calmed down, checked their Twitter feeds only to see that Lescott had posted this.
To say that Villa fans were irritated would have been an understatement akin to saying that Remi Garde’s men were “not great” on Sunday.
@JoleonLescott geezer loses 6-0 but thinks fuck it, I know what will cheer the fans up, a lump of metal worth thousands of pounds

@JoleonLescott if you’ve got enough money to buy in excess, any chance you can refund my season ticket?

And you won’t believe the excuse that Lescott offered up.
