Simmonds Speaks: Lescott – bad on the field, even worse off of it

After Aston Villa were thumped 6-0 at home to Liverpool, Lescott “accidentally” tweeted a photo of an expensive Mercedes — he later claimed that the message was sent while his phone was in his pocket.

And after the club were relegated on Saturday following a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, Lescott spoke to the media and said that the relegation was “a weight off the shoulders.”
