Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

No matter what the lad does it won't be enough. If he did manage to score the winner in the semi final the press would still slag him off.

It's because he left Liverpool and came to City. Nothing more, nothing less. Nowt to do with race, otherwise would you not think it would be a "get Vardy in the team over Sterling" debate created by the media rather than a "Rashford for Sterling" one.

He's made their party line of "Liverpool and United are the be all and end all in this country and City have to be shown to be nobodies" look fucking moronic by leaving one of those clubs to come to City and winning three trophies to Liverpool's ZERO in that time.

If Jordan Henderson was a player good enough to come to us and play in place of Fernandinho long term and we won a load of trophies with him, they'd be laying into Henderson like thy do Raz. Just like the media have done with other white people in the past - Gascoigne, Beckham, McLaren, Robinson, Taylor, Bobby Robson...

Paul Scholes used to get “Scholes never does it for England” hate stories from the media because of the United-Arsenal rivalry in the 90s (the media used to fucking LOVE Arsenal, in the last eight years they’ve taken the piss out of them daily). The media was pro-Liverpool and Arsenal back then and not so much United. Scholes got boo’d at an England game by England fans and that sparked off the whole “UNITED > ENGLAND” flags at United games and them always being seen to be anti-England.

It was only after Ferguson started banning people for printing stories he didn’t like about United did the anti-United stuff stop from the media. Now they’re the darlings of the media. Even Scholes used to just get laughed at for his dirty cynical fouls “oh he can’t tackle can he put Paul? Hahaha” - they turned from anti-Scholes/anti-United/pro-Liverpool/pro-Arsenal to total brown boards of the Rags.

I was listening to eithe bluemoon or 93.20 podcast and one of the guys on that was talking about how it isnt direct racist attacks on him, more like the Sun and Daily Mail pandering to some of their readership who want to read about how shit a young black guy is behaving,.

I believe it tbh, hate seems to be a commodity nowadays and there are people that buy this shit, probably just before they go out to give him a kicking outside the Etihad.

The rest of it is just pundits who dont read beyond the headlines and flock to join in the kicking since they have no independent thoughts!
 
Afraid we live in a blame society. Someone is always at fault. In this case it is Raz because he dared to leave the cable lighters. Some of the press have seen the light lately and started being really positive about him, dare I say it BBC TV, and it helps when Southgate came on bound with his statement. Some, like the Scum and Glenda, will never see the light.
 
Shouty and Alvin Martin defending Raz now, going to take calls on him, waiting for the Rag and Dippers coming on slagging him off and the fat cnut Mills agreeing with them.
 
I find it all rather strange that all season and in the past few weeks the media have been slagging him off. Then Southgate says he can't understand why people are having a go at Raheem and suddenly those people who have been slagging him off are now saying what an integral part of the team he is. Maybe it's because their darlings, Alli, Lingard and Henderson gave done the square root of fuck all...

Just had a discussion with a colleague in work about my weekend defending Raz against the vitroil he gets. He actually admitted that he started calling him during the first half but then actually realised what he does by creating space and running the defence ragged. We both agreed he needs to score but at least he managed to see what Sterling is actually doing.

Another colleague then piped up 'yeh I was calling him', I just fired back not to buy into the media hate that has been generated, stop being part of a pack mentallity and joining in with the hate and open your eyes - no reply back

Think you should disable your productive tickling. I know they like their "pyros", but that's going some!
