And now the poor f**ker has to go and play for Aston Villa.
If Mile Jedinak is sad now, wait until he returns to the Sky Bet Championship. Wait until he’s playing alongside Ashley bloody Westwood.
The Australian midfielder was demoted as Crystal Palace captain in a move that was said to upset the dressing room and it is quite the coup for Roberto Di Matteo to pick up the 32-year-old for Villa.

The Birmingham club’s cleansing process has a long way to go. They’ve won one game of their three second tier league matches to date and still have a lot of… different characters infesting the place.
But it looks like the new owner doesn’t even have time for the young and talented likes of Adama Traore as they continue the clearout.
Yes. He talked to RDM not happy staying at Villa last season here & want leave. https://t.co/W2pJIwyJo5

So Tommy Elphick has come in – new captain. Mile Jedinak has come in – former captain. James Chester, Ross McCormack, proper footballing men who want to work for the cause, have come in.
And Jedinak’s touching farewell to Palace is a mark of the man. It would nearly leave a lump in your throat.

And the backlash is starting for Alan Pardew who has won just two league games this calendar year with the Selhurst Park outfit. He’s let go of a good player, a popular figure and an all-round nice guy.
Sell Jedinak and Jimmy Mac is injured for weeks.
Alan Pardew; the gift that keeps on giving.

#CPFC boss Alan Pardew has now been clipped to just 11/4 (his shortest price yet) to be the next #PL boss to leave https://t.co/lGVf9JsPXP

So Mile Jedinak is walking out of Selhurst Park (teammates furious, mind) because of the walking, talking ego trip that is Alan Pardew #flog
