Is it only me who thinks this is absolutely pathetic. Sad and pathetic.

A player who's a star for your club and who decides to leave is suddenly scum who should be booed all the time? Good god, get over it.

The shite Sterling had to put up with on Sunday was a bloody disgrace. We can expect the same again from the sad wankers. The pieces of shit aka fans at Arsenal have been booing Nasri for three years FFS. How fucking sad is that?

And when we played Liverpool on Sunday, or indeed in the league, did we boo Milner? No, we didn't, because we are not all complete arse holes.
 
Fuck me, we have fans booing current players!
 
don't leave out villa also with jimmy and barry. It is pathetic, but to be fair we have had a lot of fans who taunted the likes of barton and distin when a few goals up, but never been so dickish as the scouse and arse. I have never boo'd a former player returning
 
Football fans are fucking morons, in the main. The older I get the more I realise that. Why would you boo am ex player? We've done it ourselves, to Distin and Sturridge, but nothing like some of the club's we've co e up against. Liverpool's hypocrisy over Sterling was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen in football.
 
I always love the reception Lescott gets. Bloke must love it as well.
 
Sturridge is the only former player I have a problem with. It was his attitude. My opinion is he thinks he is way better than he is. Only really good season/s I recall are when he had Suarez next to him. I felt he wa always looking for the glory play instead of passing, which I guess you want in a striker, I just think it was his only choice.
All other players I love. During the mid table times, those players played with heart. The players we "overpaid" for after the take over, were of the level that allowed us to get better players. I feel Kolo had a HUGE part in Yaya coming here. Even the English players that ended up not being good enough / always injured I wouldn't boo.

Sturridge and Milner were getting dogs abuse near me. Particularly Milner. I find it a bit odd too.
 
I was thinking about this and the semi-related topic of players celebrating against former clubs last night as I listened to the BBC podcast of the league cup day.

The commentator said he hoped Sterling didn't celebrate too much in front of his former fans.

I was dumbstruck. God forbid he look happy after vindicating a transfer which turned his life upside down. God forbid the 30,000 who booed him for 2 hours see him celebrate!

The fans who sent death wishes to his infant daughter, who crept past security to assault him after the game.

How awful it would be if he celebrated the first trophy of his career while they were present.

They'll say the same tomorrow night, they'll ask him if he'll celebrate if he scores and he'll say no, despite the fact 50,000 will spend the game abusing him, apparently it would be awful for him to celebrate a goal.

But if he did celebrate, even just a little, they'd crucify the kid.

I can't stand it - and IMO it's all related. Now it's not a good gesture to not celebrate if you're against an old club- it's just the minimum requirement.

Similarly unless you depart your former club to go to a smaller club with a lower pay check, or after wasting an amount of your career the fans seem acceptable - then you are a SNAKE! A traitor, a judas, and must be booed for the next 10 years.

Sorry for the rant but it winds me up.
 
It's like Stuart Pearce said during his commentary in reference to the Dippers booing Sterling "it's a sign of the modern day football fan when you boo a player that's just earnt your club £50 million"

The irony is if Suarez came back he would be cheered to the rafters.

In the dippers eyes, Barca bigger, us smaller.
 
The only way I could see myself booing a former player would be if he wrongfully bad mouthed the club/city. Other than that, wtf?
 
Didn't hear any stick for Jimmy Kolo or Sturridge on Sunday, although Sturridge has had some in the past. Liverpool fans are horrible fucking cunts
