Some things are bigger than rivalry and football, putting this evil witch in her place is one of them .

Oh no! Rashford has turned Katie Hopkins into a raging City fan :)
The fucking irony of that picture is I'm sure that's when Rashford skimmed past our 90's porn star to score against us?
Update; Manchester City and Rashford team up with a slam dunk exchange.
Yep, great riposte from the club!

Maybe because pep is not English and wants to be careful and correct with his wordsPep had a PR team and during the time he was wearing the yellow ribbon. He still does. He is very publicly active in Catalonia. This whole silly argument that Rashford has PR people writing the tweets is a bit like saying Pep didn’t write his own tweets about the plight of the Catalonian political prisoners. Who cares.
And if you didn’t slag Pep off for his PR moves and his PR team then you’ll have to ask yourself why Rashford is different.

You have to say well done to Marcus Rashford. You also have to say that this whole thing has clearly been stage managed by influencers for maximum social effect. Today alone he's been name checked in the House of Commons, the Sky News ticker referred to him as "Manchester United player and anti-poverty campaigner", some bloke on SSN said that Boris should put him in charge of a Social Mobility Commission and the Mail online has reported that the odds of him winning the Sports Personality of the Year have been slashed from 80/1 to being joint favourite with Tyson Fury.
Fair play to to the lad but plenty of other players and clubs have done much social and charity work during the pandemic but all this hysteria is pushing their activities into the shade.

There are some players who are top blokes and do a lot for their communities. The likes of Rashford, Raz, Henderson, Milner and Vinny all come across as decent human beings.
It’s sad that when you look online some people are more interested in shouting abuse at rival players than respecting the good they do.

true, but many would say the same about the sometimes over the top praise Raheem gets after he forced the media’s hand and effectively stopped them slagging him off. We should just be able to celebrate them both doing great things for their communities

I agree. Not a criticism of Rashford himself in any way and your analogy with Sterling is apposite. It's just that it's resulted in all sorts of hyperbole, some of which Rashford himself might find a tad embarrassing.
An amazing thing to do and he's got my respect. He spotted a huge issue, did his bit and then got the attention of those in power to do the right thing.
Children should never go hungry in this country, it should never have gone this far but fair play to Rashford for doing something about it when it did.
