Is there a more vilified ex-player than Sterling?
Sol Campbell perhaps? Ashley Cole?
But in recently times the bile thrown at Sterling by Liverpool fans can not be matched.
Get over it.
Give us an example...I don’t think it’s that bad to be honest. I’ve heard worse.
Well give us some examples then. When you factor in the media campaign against Sterling at the point that he left you lot, I think you'd be fairly pushed to name anyone who got more shit in this country in recent years beyond the two JPBB mentioned. Don't forget, the shit your club with the help of their ex players kicked up meant that he got booed every time he touched the ball at every single away ground he went to for the first season and still gets shit to a lesser extent. That's at grounds where there is literally no reason for the fans to give the first fuck. That's how relentless and pervasive the hatchet job was, it influenced the whole country to hate him.I don’t think it’s that bad to be honest. I’ve heard worse.
But they’ll only tell you it was a good deal after the event so they can save face.
When Sterling first talked about leaving, the smear campaign started. He was a money grabber. He was forced to come out and say it wasn’t about money. If I recall correctly he said he wouldn’t sign a contract with Liverpool for a million pounds per week.
He was then harangued for being too big for his boots.
I remember Alan Hansen, Ray Houghton, Mickey Quinn, John Barnes, John Aldridge and most hilariously of all Steven Gerrard all coming out to vilify him.
I say hilariously of Gerrard because he said that Sterling should follow Jordan Henderson’s example when it comes to loyalty. That’s right, Jamaican born, London raised, bought from QPR Raheem Sterling should be more loyal like Sunderland born, Sunderland raised, Sunderland youth product turned captain who left to play for Liverpool.
Liverpool fans saying they’re not bothered about Sterling leaving now is like me living with Jennifer Aniston for two years. Two years of bliss. I tell myself it’ll last forever and we have good times. The sex is amazing. She wears stockings and suspenders sometimes and knee high boots. Soon though, she notices that I’m putting some weight on and can’t offer her the life she wants. She tells me she intends to leave me if I don’t buck my ideas up. I think she’s bluffing and change nowt.
She announces its over. I’m a mess. I get my mates to tell her what a good guy I am but the damage is done and she moves out. I watch her leave through the window in tears. Blowing big bubbles of snot and doing that crying and struggling to get my breath thing.
For the next few months, every time I see her in Asda, I follow her round telling her new fellow that she’s no good, throwing insults at her and making threats.
18 months later, someone asks me why she left. Now do you believe me when I say “I wasn’t that arsed. She’s a slag anyway”?
Give us an example...

Well put LF I could put more on to this but it' just a waste of time . They really are the most delusional set of wankers ever to walk the earth. I use to like scousers and I have had many of top nights in Liverpool. I have followed their music scene since I was 13. Yet recently even talking to music fans on a night out they turn bitter. Teams do not deserve to be any where unless you put in the hard graft but their sense of entitlement is unbelievable. You horrible set of cnuts. I hope you never win another trophy again, yet the hierarchy at the fa won't allow that. Just like them wanking rags out of town. The future is blue you bastards.Well give us some examples then.

You're a blue on the wind up & I claim my £5.Literally anyone who’s left a club and played for another club. Ever. It’s standard in today’s football.
I think it’s wrong. But in no way has Sterling received treatment that is above and beyond what I’m already used to in the modern game...
Tevez, Milner, RVP, Sterling, Sanchez, any Newcastle & Sunderland players, pshhh. Sure there’s loads more.
