Confirmation bias. When you want to claim it's some kind of right wing plot, just mention right wing papers and ignore the similar coverage elsewhere. Pathetic. Was it racism when Beckham was widely criticised for a couple of years, or Rooney at various times? And this time the accusations are being cheer-led by Ian Wright, who once claimed he was sacked as a pundit for being 'a brother' rather than the fact he was a fucking awful pundit. Talk about useful idiots - that smug and power-mad 'Lord' Ouseley, the Gordon Taylor of anti-racism, has hit the motherlode this time.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

He's not a model pro. Model pros don't extricate themselves from a contract like that. And the left wing press, more so than the right wing press, should despise his greed, his selfishness and self-absorption. Maybe someone should find a few of Thomas Paine's bones and make a rattle for the poor dear thing. As for the rest of the criticism - this is a player who has actually been wildly OVER praised over the years (is that a right, liberal or left wing conspiracy?). He is a terrible finisher for a player at his level, he's been one of the most disappointing players even when surrounded with probably the most obscenely expensive squad in history, and even now he seems more concerned with decorating his body with fatuous semiotic platitudes than in improving at what he's paid a fortune to do. Right wing? Racist? Fuck off.

If a player had done similar to join us we wouldn't be criticising him. I don't think the press should despise his greed anymore than every other top level footballer. He's a very good player and while I wouldn't have him over any of our front three, I'd like to still have him at the club.

Beckham got a much less amount of shit for getting England knocked out of a world cup than Sterling did for getting to a semifinal. Beckham painted a target on himself by choosing the celebrity lifestyle and marrying a spice girl. Sterling is just doing his own thing.

It's racism.

 

[ILD]

What was the catalyst to all this? Was it when Hodgson threw Sterling under the bus with his 'too tired' interview?

Beckham had just kicked a player out of petulance and got himself a red card, leading us to get kicked out the world cup.
Rooney was caught drink driving, lied, was always verbally abusive to refs etc.

Apart from having a few baby mamas, Sterlings issues have included shopping in poundland and showing off his mums new sink.

I think having a stupid tatooo, getting caught taking legal highs and diving/cheating on the pitch might have had more to do with the criticism than showing his mother’s new sink.

Remember when he went for breakfast after City's champions league loss?

Bad fucking cunt

 

[Fabio]

Fucking ludicrous thread

 

[dantes]

It's definitely not fake news, no such thing, no, it's just racist, than must be it, dantes and trump are just paranoid psychopaths.

 

[Modo]

I haven't really been following the witch-hunt but I have to say the shopping at Primark thing was ludicrous.
So he's not allowed to buy cheap stuff because he's rich?

 

[Woland]

Yep

Bit harsh on Donald there.

I cant believe people are defending the horrible little cunt.

hes been up in court twice for hitting womens. He was caught smoking drugs, and hitting up the happy gas, he gave unauthorised interviews to BBC, he ran down his contract at his club, and wether or not its right the perception was he is a money grabbing little shit, his agent is widely known as a piece of shit, he publicly had a spat with one of the biggest footballing institutions in england (at 18 years old), he was too ‘tired’ to play for England, he ran his contract down and strung the club along, he is a perpetual diver and he runs like a gay t-rex.

Fuck that guy.
I hope he is treated to barages of abuse till the day he dies.

Defending him is different from accepting he gets much more abuse than other players.
The money grabbing little shit, running his club contract down, agents a twat, dives.. that's all pretty much the norm with loads of players, he's no different is all I'm saying in that regard, not defending or condoning.

I thought he was in court once on trumped up charges? didn't know about the smoking bad drugs thing.

Runs like a gay T-rex, I think this is the main point really, while most people are concentrating on the colour of his skin as the reason for abuse, its most probably cos he runs like a gay rex, which no other player does. It's almost like the abuse he receives isn't enough.

I think he gets the abuse because at 17 he was an utter dick.
Other players have done it yeah. But at 17 years old, he fucked over his club and forced a move. Now I think if he was as good as that hype deserves he would get off easier, but 2 goals in 44 for england with all that ‘too tired’ bullshit still in the memory. He gets abuse because the press dont like him. They have 100% chosen not to like him. Me I think its because hes a twat and showed that from a young age. Not because hes black.

The other players from 17 years old were in the process of building up respect from the press, acting humble, innocent, playing well, supporters rooting for them, and then paying it off with a well earned bit of success. That sells papers. Then when that gets boring the press inevitably rip into you to sell papers at the back end, they might go a little bit easier given your previous good history with them.

Sterling just completely skipped over those formative years of earning respect. He declared himself too good for Liverpool, acted like he was too good for England, and got himself a big money move apparently because his talent deserved it. There's nothing positive there for the press to monetize. It just leaves a cunt of a bad taste in the mouth, so the press skipped straight to the back end and have made money by ripping him to pieces. It's not racist, it's Sterling's own complete lack of awareness of what his impatience and arrogance would do to his public image. It's too late for him to cry about that now, the cunt just makes himself look more pathetic.

Pretty much succinctly wording what ive been trying to say.
They play the nicey nicey and then later turn out to be cunts and shag grannys or team mates or whatever and get the shit ripped out of them for it. Sterling never bothered the nice guy bit.

I know people think the press have it in for Liverpool and its probably merited to a degree, but they still wont stand for a 17 year old and his mercenary agent acting the fucking fool.

 

[gene hughes]

I assume the papers just want to sell papers. They’re after him because the people who buy their newspapers like it. Because they hate him. Maybe because he’s a dick. Maybe because he’s black. Maybe both. But I suspect the dick thing is the biggest factor because there are a lot of successful black English players. Plus the fact that he used the media, for example, to engineer his move from Liverpool, means that he’s fair game to them. He sold his soul to them and they’re gonna reclaim little pieces of him for years to come.

I think on a personal level, the readership of those papers hate him because he's rich. Had he spent a few years ingratiating himself to the people, thanked them for their support, and all that shit, then people wouldn't begrudge him his obscene salary. However, he just went wah wah wah cried off to the press and his agent, and got the money without in their eyes doing anything to earn it. That's why they resent him and will forever enoy reading about him being a cunt, and his money not buying him any class, and so forth.

Was he 17 when he forced a move?

 

[Oncy]

Not sure. 17, 18 something like that. Doesnt really matter. Point is he was a yout. Not established. Not even played a full season reaaaaally.

 

[Modo]

Not sure. 17, 18 something like that

He was 20 when he joined City, but ok he was 19 at the start of his last season with us.

*shrugs* the point is the same. He was a child.

Nice, attack the spelling as a comeback. An athlete at a top club getting high on drugs, legal or not (and we all know these drugs will become illegal) is something you feel shouldn’t be considered when looking at his critics because all the reporters are racist anyway. Good one.

 

[Oncy]

Anyway. Hes a city player. So fuck him. Shitcunt.

Not just the reporters everyone in the media is racist bro!

Thing is I think he's a massive twat, just that the media think he's a gigantic twat.

 

[rurikbird]

Fucking ludicrous thread

I looked through the entire thread and it's even more ridiculous and racist than I imagined. Your tabloid press is the worst.
