James Milner

I don't mind ex players celebrating, but not in front of our fans FFS.

I've felt proud sat at a home match when the likes of SWP returned as an away player and our fans cheered him, but to be honest, that's so '"ittle 'ol city". Fuck them all. While they're wearing 'the shirt' they'll get my respect, once they've gone to play somewhere else, thanks very much, but fuck you!

He's done well for himself, fucking over every team that he's played for and still being able to keep his perfect image of being a hard, clean-cut, pro, despite his actions proving otherwise.

He comes from a family of estate agents so creating a false impression comes naturally.
 
It's a crappy move by him. We've shown him respect by cheering him and the least he could do it show his respect/appreciation by not celebrating. If a fanbase or a team has wronged you, you have every right to but this wasn't the case with him. It's crazy the amount of stick Sterling gets compared to Milner and, had he scored and celebrated, he would be portrayed as the ungrateful villan despite the Liverpool fans booing him and attacking him for half a season.

I'd certainly hope the likes of Negredo, NDJ, Dzeko etc. wouldn't celebrate because it's disrespectful to a fanbase that was always good to you.
 
Did you notice when the other dipper players ran over to him one did a mini celebration that Milner did and laughed as if to say You said you were going to do that and you did! If that's the case I'm happy in the knowledge Sunday hurt them....a LOT!!

Classless prick. And wanted to take the last penalty.

I console myself that we must have hurt him real bad.

For me other than the lack of desire from the team, Milners celebration was the worst part of the game. Considering we cheer the little rat.
 
Fucking ****, lost all respect for him. We treated him too good, the **** didn't deserve it.
 
If sterling scored last night and celebrated he would be on the cover of every newspaper (yes even ahead of AJ) asking for him to be hanged, sad really. Yesterday after he did that I threw away the Milner shirt I had from the 12/13 season, fuck him.

I reckon he'll get dog's abuse if he turns up at the Etihad again and quite rightly so, the fucker's earned it. He's not a delicate little flower, won't affect him very much but it would let him know our fans know he was a lying, tricky little fucker the way he maneuvered his transfer away to get a signing on fee.

''The way he maneuvered his transfer away''??
You mean the way he completed his 5 year contract as promised upon signing and then was free to negotiate his own contract elsewhere as per employment laws?
 
The way he would not confirm his intentions when City asked him on numerous occasions 6 months before his contract run out.

He doesn't have to, no more than I would have to if my boss asked me if I was planning on leaving or staying in 6 months time.
He probably got minimum 15 million for signing on (plus wages to come) - would you turn that down? Would you let your employer see your hand six months before doing that?

If i had a decent relationship with him and he had not only paid me fantastcially well and given me the platform to better my career and win accolades as part of his team.

Yes i think id owe him and give him that respect.

Milner left in the way he did and he can live with it. Im sure he wont lose any sleep but he is a **** for leaving like he did and he is a **** for doing what he did last night.
 
Fair play for celebrating. He's a Liverpool player, and scored for Liverpool. Well done.

He once played for us. He came, got paid very well, played well, did what was asked, saw out a contract, and left.

He didn't grow up at City, spend his childhood a city fan, so he has no reason to play the 'faux respect' card a lot of players do against their old clubs.

I don't think he needs to show respect to the club particularly. But I do think he should to the fans, without whom these arrogant twats would be nothing. He was in front of the away fans, the 'proper' fans. Maybe I'm old fashioned.

I've said it before though, I have become pretty 'bitter', I wasn't years ago but I am now - once a player leaves the club they can fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned.
