Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

I'm not going to get too worked up over that. I thank him for his years of service with us. But he's gone now, we move on. And I can see why he did what he did. If he'd signed a Liverpool shirt days after joining us, we wouldn't have been too happy, would we?

Agreed, and many of these autographed shirts go straight on ebay.
 
Now he's finally left I can say hand on heart I have never rated him as a player. His first touch is awful and I used to nearly cry with frustration seeing him name on the teamsheet. I honestly think he was a plague on the squad he killed so many attacks with his terrible first touch. Some of the misses just beggared belief it was consistent every single week aswell. Doesn't surprise me to see his shirt non signing actions as he was always disrespectful with a chip on his shoulder. Never saw him involved in any City in the community stuff and I thought appearing on the front page of Marca in a real madrid scarf was incredibly disrespectful to the City fans.

I was only marginally less excited to see his stupid face in a Chelsea shirt than I was signing Haaland. I've never been one to slag City players but I have being holding my tongue on Raheem for years and Im relieved to finally speak freely about him. Absolutely bobbins and I hope his career spirals into obscurity.

Not sure that’s quite true mate

That sound scouse but I know you are a Manchester City Blue.


So that sounds Mouse or Blouse.

More accurate.
Works both ways, too. As soon as he signed for them I started following Sociedad social media to check on Merlin’s time there. Same with Kompany. Loving that Zabba is on the tour to the States.

Couldn’t care less what Sterling does. I wish him well though. He served us in his prime and contributed. He doesn’t see the club like the legends do, and that’s fair enough. Us as fans don’t see him in the way we see said legends. Also fair enough.

Sterling played a big part in our success and I thank him for his efforts. But as you say he won't be viewed as a legend by the fans, but I still hope be receives a decent reception if he plays at the Etihad next season.

I think it’s a case of all parties being happy with this deal, but yeah I would definitely be happy if we signed Sterling for just under £50m, get 7 top class years out of him and then sell him for just under £50m again. Smashing return on that investment.

Certainly did.. I thought that Sterling’s comment that he can still achieve more things with his move to Chelsea. I can’t see him winning the CL anytime soon and he ain’t winning the WC with Southgate in charge.

I’ve made my feelings very clear about him,and now he’s gone I need do no more,he is what he is,but let me tell you one last thing,it won’t be long before Chelsea fans are screaming at him and then you can come on here and tell us if it was a case of all parties being happy
 
I met Kit Harington a few months ago. He'd been performing at the Donmar Warehouse in a production of Henry V. I'm a massive, massive Game of Thrones fan, so I went down to London to watch the production and and maybe say hello and thanks to him after the show was over.

He came straight out afterwards. I tried to talk to him inside the foyer but he asked if we could go outside, just because the cast were all trying to avoid catching COVID. Fair enough, we went outside. I took a photo with him and spoke to him a bit, just saying thanks for being in the show, etc. He was really polite.

Then as he left, he offered me a fist bump. I obviously wanted to do it but I remembered what he'd said earlier, about wanting to avoid COVID. I didn't have COVID, I knew that a fist bump wouldn't give it to him, but I still nervously declined it and said 'Oh, I don't want to touch you, just in case'.

He looked a bit confused because I'd just been telling him, for about 2 minutes, how much of a fan of his work I was. I don't blame him. Kit offering to bump fists was a best case scenario, but I was nervous and the situation caught me off guard. I didn't want him to catch COVID and think 'Grr, that bloody kid'.

So I said no. He made an expression that said "Huh, okay, fair enough", and off he went.

So I can imagine Raheem probably froze up in a similar fashion when he saw the City shirt. Part of him will have wanted to sign it, part of him will have been thinking 'Argh shit, can't make enemies at my new place'. He might be regretting not signing it right now, he might have gone back and signed it later.

We'll never know. Point is, sometimes when you're out in public and you're about to do something that has major pros and major cons, your brain freezes up and you end up doing the opposite of what you wanted to do. Even when you're a professional footballer with media training, you can have brain farts.

Let's not start acting all bitter because of something this minor. What Raheem did on the pitch for us across seven years is what counts.

Did you see them winning the Champions league 2 seasons back?

Does anybody believe that the scouse cunts were the best team to win when they won their last 3 chumps league trophies or made the final the other times?

Do you believe Real Madrid was the best team last season?
