Will Sterling get a good reception tonight?

[jimharri]

Be very disappointed if he got it in the neck, i know he had his brainfarts but he did so much for us.

He was immense in the 17-20 period for us. I'd hope those that boo him (and there will be some, unfortunately) try to remember that. But I wouldn't bank on it.

And yes, I'm aware that he was very well paid for his efforts. I'd question if money is the motivation to produce good performances for elite players. The likes of Kev, Erling, Vinnie, Sergio, Merlin etc. One season at a club like City will set a man up for life. So, how do they go on producing top level performances year after year?

Yes, will be looked back on fondly in a few decades time, pretty much a city great in our lifetimes.
Wish him nothing but the best.

Really hope so.

Hes a Centurion Jim. A pivotal player in the greatest Premier League / Football league team ever.

I won’t clap him, I won’t boo him. He has no relevance to me anymore as he doesn’t wear our shirt.

Is the correct and complete answer

Why not? He played for City for a number of years and contributed to the success. I'm personally happier he moved on, as I think City had outgrown his ability but no reason to disrespect the lad. I heard he bought his sister a house. Sounds like a nice guy. I wish him well.

Think he played for a pen when at Leicester and then did an over the top celebration when he scored.

He got a really bad reaction for it.

Correct some City fans are proper touchy , short memories

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Imagine the grief he'd get from Chelsea fans if he had signed it. Give the lad a break.

Dickov used to always get a great ovation when he played against us.

Then the game would start and he'd play like he played every game of his life. Scrapping, arguing, scoring (I think he scored a few against us), celebrating, generally being a pest.

He got booed a few times but generally was subbed off to a great ovation again.
