You know what. Sterlings such an emotive subject at the moment that its easy to become entrenched in one point of view or another. To be honest even though we may disagree on some things, what's clear is that when it comes to his football or form, views like yours are fundamental in making sure Sterling or others dont get a free ride. For instance the two or three one on ones he missed in the Derby, it fucked us and he does need to improve tjat sidesof his game. No doubt. Its just a bit of balanced circumspect view I seek really, because for every one, two or three bad games he's had there are tons of games in which his form and contribution have been outstanding.

City fans see Sterling getting abused, and rightly defend him but some refuse to acknowledge that his game for England is way below the level he produced for City last season. His finishing at City was at times poor and this is the area of his game that he needs to work on. There is no doubt about that. If he reproduced his England form in a City shirt, he'd have been dropped so I don't think City fans are being entirely honest with themselves or respectful of other peoples opinions. Of course as City fans we want Sterling to keep getting starts hoping that in the next game he scores and puts this chapter behind him.You know what.

The question is though, of England's attacking players, who is playing for England, as they do for their club? Kane can hardly score from open play, lingaard and Ali have not set the world slight. And the less said the better about vardy and Rashford.
One goal scored from open play, I think. So I don't understand why the form of other English players aren't being questioned or held to such scrutiny. Further I don't understand why above all other sttackingaplayers in the team, it is sterling who should make way.

so your effectively saying that if he were white, he would be not getting any media grief - and you call me naiveDon't be so naive. I always find it interesting that many are quick to accept that the treatment sterling is receiving is down to everything and anything other than racism. They don't ask for any empirical evidence to support the comfortable explanations driven by the media which they unwittingly perpetuate. But when racism is thrown into the mix it's a different story. I'll point you in the direction of how to obtain the evidence. Open your fucking eyes and read.
Then critically review what you think is right against alternative views and information which may make you feel uncomfortable.

Is this evidence of your confidence in the FA nipping racism in the bud. Black, Star player, contract not renewed. Never played for England again since?

Mate we disagree, that's fine
Without a doubt. What he is enduring is unparalleled. And he's not screwed another team members wife, bit anyone, or stuck a cigar in a team mates eye. Yet we are entering year 3 of the campaign against him. The only caveat to what I'm saying is that I strongly believe that had he gone to it's, half this shit wouldn't be happening. But the fact that he went to the "Arab", club I think reinforced the media's approach to the lad.so your effectively saying that if he were white, he would be not getting any media grief - and you call me naive
