Wow, imagine if Sterling had done what Adebayor did to Arsenal. Leave him alone guys, he's anow a zero since he left us, out of Enlgand, out of CL, not a treble winner.

I don't get the booing of former players. Sterlling did a solid job for City and moved on when we didn't want him any more. Palmer has never said anything bad about City but he needed more regular football. That's life.Yeah, I don't get the hate for Sterling? We booed him and Palmer yesterday when the names were read out.
Odd that alot of our fans didn't rate Sterling but now boo him I thought they'd be happy he left

Haters gonna hate. Fucking morons.
I’ll never forget having to put a couple of clowns in their place who were giving him dogs abuse at the 0-0 Madrid SF. We’re playing in arguably the biggest match in our history and they’re sat there insulting a guy in a blue shirt. Unbelievable.
The lad ALWAYS put a shift in, helped us win loads of trophies and is high on our list of all time goal scorers.
So what’s to hate ? You have to assume that some of these idiots are influenced by the media’s at times shameful portrayal of Raz. And you have to assume that some of them are racist.

Palmer is very good and is only gonna get better playing every week for Chelsea but he is only scoring penalties at the moment.His best game for the last three seasons maybe, both he and Palmer were killing us yesterday. I could only wish Phil having a fractuion od self-confidence Palmer has. I just don't get hatred he gets from some of our supporters.
I thought his celebration was very toned down, because it is obvious now he's been hurting how we discarded him. I always liked him and I am extremely happy for him to get back to his old form, just he could've waited just for another week...little fecker! :)
Just bear in mind it’s easier for him at the moment playing on the break
Top teams don’t play on the break though and as Chelsea improve they won’t be able to rely on this (that’s why United are so bad).
Same applies to sterling

My view is Cole is a fairly limited player. He is using his attributes to the best at the moments. He will get found out by the end of the season and will struggle for Chelsea next season.
Can't say for all of our fellow fans, but I've seen some on this forum get really bitter about a player's departure, it's bizarre. In the same season, Cancelo was praised to high heavens, but as soon as he departed to Bayern, he got called all sorts of names. As per usual, it's even worse on Twitter.I don't get the booing of former players. Sterlling did a solid job for City and moved on when we didn't want him any more.

Cancelo loved his time with us and brings it up fondly, even has high praise for us fans. I think he'd be upset to see the amount of abuse he got by our own fans.
Sterling was our 2nd highest goalscorer under Pep and was a big part of our trophy hauls. Even at his worst, he still tries hard on the pitch. Yet from the remarks directed towards him post-departure, you would've thought he stunk up the place since the day he walked through the doors.
It's crazy.
Didn’t Cancelo have a big fallout with Pep?Can't say for all of our fellow fans, but I've seen some on this forum get really bitter about a player's departure, it's bizarre.

Think that wasn't really confirmed, Cancelo did deny the bust-up however (it was about playing time he said), could all be journalists cooking up stories about a sudden player departure. Still, he did pay tribute to the fans on social media, and didn't say anything bad despite the boos.Didn’t Cancelo have a big fallout with Pep?

I largely agree but with Sterling I think it was that he was so brilliant for a season or two and then his form just dropped like a stone and was, let's be honest, pretty awful for a good two seasons before he left.Can't say for all of our fellow fans, but I've seen some on this forum get really bitter about a player's departure, it's bizarre.

If his City career was the other way round and he left on a massive high like Gundogan for example, who started his City career slowly and just go better and better and better with every game, I think the perception would be different.

I think Pep publicly referring to him as "Mister Cancelo" and booting him out of the club mid season says all we need to know.Think that wasn't really confirmed, Cancelo did deny the bust-up however (it was about playing time he said), could all be journalists cooking up stories about a sudden player departure.

I'm not a Sterling hater in any way, but I do have to take issue with your comment about him ALWAYS putting a shift in. He didn't. He was poor for the last 12-18 months of his City career and let's have it right, he was barely interested by the end - maybe (probably) he knew the writing was on the wall and lost interest, but there were definitely some half-arsed performances.Haters gonna hate. Fucking morons.

I disagree. He wouldn’t have got anywhere near our team if he wasn't giving 100%. You’re right to say he was poor - more often than not towards the end. It was noticeable -but that in itself is testament to his work ethic and commitment because unlike some players who are in a slump (e.g PHILLIPS) he didn’t hide on the pitch. Even when the ball was bouncing off him and he couldn’t finish or put in a decent cross to save his life he was always finding space and popping up in the right places.I'm not a Sterling hater in any way, but I do have to take issue with your comment about him ALWAYS putting a shift in.

There were times toward the end where he absolutely didn't give 100% in my opinion. But's thats fine, we're allowed to disagree.I disagree.

Yes, it was their player Jackson egging him on but he did otherwise. As regards to that tackle, at first I thought the offending player had slipped and that’s why he had tackled Foden the way he did. Then on the replay I saw it was Sterling and he hadn’t slipped, I couldn’t believe my eyes. One of those tackles that are more than a yellow and close to a red.from the video of him scoring it seemed more of his team mates encouraging him to celebrate in front of us whilst he didn't want to.
If it wasn't so wet on the pitch he'd of been sent off for that tackle on Phil

He's a decent fella, was a big part of our transformation and you can only wish him well.
I agree, but were you sorry to see him go. In all honesty I wasn’t because of the vast number of chances he missed what seemed open goals at crucial times in big games.

I'll need to check the footage again.
Me neither, I‘d prefer the Francis Lee celebration any day.I don’t get too upset by players who have left celebrating with their new team after scoring.
