#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

The entire thread presents that sort of challenge for me, which is why I brought up the Milner example and why I've said a few times that I don't understand the over analysis and bad faith arguing which seems to pass for discussion in this thread.

Seems that those who don't rate Sterling have convinced themselves that there's a perfect player out there who will give the team everything that Raz does, plus will have the technique of Mahrez, never miss a chance, and somehow elevate the team.

More rubbish,however,i do believe from the evidence of the last 18 months.....that there are players that will give us more for half the wages.

It's sad but I don't even really think about it anymore because it's so obvious and I've just accepted that it's an unfortunate part of life as a football supporter and how certain people's minds work. Just educate the next generation a bit better.

Still challenge it every single fucking time in person but on here you have to pick your battles.

Enough with the cryptic shit......What exactly are you accusing people of?

Racism. It's not cryptic.

I'm simply acknowledging the fact that racists exist and, unfortunately, some of those people are City supporters.

I'm not tarring everyone who dislikes Sterling as a player with that same brush so please don't feel the need to defend yourself or others who don't rate him.

Racism. It's not cryptic.

So you are accusing people on this forum of being racist with no basis whatsoever other than Sterling is black and they dont rate him.

You're a disgrace.

About the level you should expect in a thread about Sterling. It's pretty clear that a minority don't give a fuck about his ability as a footballer.

Allow me to put some meat on the bones, I listed to the recent podcast when he told one other members to F-off when he criticised Sterling. His love-in with Sterling makes no sense, he won’t get the numbers he gets, in any other squad. Maybe City won’t sell him, but it will be purely because he is English. He’s not elite and never will be. He can carry the ball well, lots of players have that attribute.

You,like your bumchum,were accusing people on this thread of being racists.

Dont back peddle now.

I'm genuinely not affected by what people on here think of me, you know that already. I answered your question, I didn't make any accusations beyond my reply to @Tugay One Cup about the lad who brought up BAME in a Sterling discussion.

Strikes me you're taking this thread too personally.

I'm very much the same,but you are out of order here,and you know that.

And yes,i will take it fucking personally when,as a contributor who doesn't rate Sterling for his footballing ability only......is having such an abhorrent accusation levelled at him.

A club like City will continue to give payrises to an inferior player simply because of his nationality.
