Top video but it's something we all know as city fans I've had countless arguments all week defending him but the rags are fucking clueless, the majority of football fans are brain dead sun/daily mail readers half off them wouldn't know where the swamp is never mind watched football there. If you can call what they play football also that Lingard is a fucking disgrace never passes the ball to him he's a cnunt, I really hope he scores the winning goal in the final and raises his shirt with the slogan sorry I can't celebrate I'm off to poundland

Classic comment from a Daily Mail reader I heard recently ... "How often does the Daily Mail come out?"

Not that it would matter. Sterling like every player out there should not be immune from criticism. However, it's been clear for a couple of years now that those from within and outside are fan base who boo him and take every chance to criticize him don't understand the finer machinations of team tactics or have hidden agendas. Like I said sterling should not be immune from criticism but when you come off the back of the season he has and your booing him during an international tournament, it speaks volumes about those not wanting to acknowledge the many positives he brings to the team rather than Sterling.

Brilliant. I just whacked that out on WhatsApp to some of the knuckle dragging no nowts that I've got on there.
 
Manchester was mad yesterday. I’ve never seen anything like it before. We played really as well and whatever happens we should be happy to have reached a semi final.

Super Caley go ballistic celtic are atrocious

This still has to be the best headline for any football match.
Anyway I think England have done amazing and beyond all expectations.. It matters not who they have played to get to the Semi Final of the World Cup.
I will just repeat that for our Scottish friends. ENGLAND are in the SEMI FINAL of the WORLD CUP.
Can we go any further? Dare we dream. It won't be the biggest shock in the world.
I am fortunate to live in Glasgow, make no mistake this is an amazing city with amazing and friendly people. As long as you're not a bit of a wank they are as warm a people as you can get anywhere in the world. I wouldn't walk around Glasgow wearing an England shirt not that I own one anyway., that would be asking for trouble. Make no mistake though IF England win the world cup, Scotland will go into melt down.
I won't give it the big one or get upset with anyone when they say we were lucky and have not played anyone. I will just nod and SMILE from ear to ear Aye your right.

I’ve never had any grief whatsoever in Glasgow for being English and I’m pretty gobby when I’ve had a drink. As long as you don’t behave like a wanker, then they are sound. Like you, Glaswegians are among my favourite people in the world.

I agree they won’t like it if we win though!

Nice one. I'll repeat again the lad is not beyond criticism. Not advocating that at all. The issue I have is that his strengths and value to the team are all to deliberately overlooked to accommodate rheoric about what he ain't doing, which becomes the dominant narrative about what sterling offers to the team. I've been in arguments this morning with friends and family even after sending them the video. The issue is not because they don't understand, it's because they don't want to understand. That's what are fan base are up against.
 
How’s the ever-modest Ibrahimovic taking it this morning, I wonder. Presumably banging on to anyone who’s stupid enough to listen to him that Sweden would have won if he’d been in their side. Yawn!

That's a great video and it's great to see at least a few people understand what he offers to the team. Think a few people on here need to watch that as well and maybe they can stop their endless bitching about Sterling.

I've seen some of the footage of people celebrating around the country yesterday.

Most of it good natured but there's some right bellends out there as well.

Trashing cars. Invading furniture stores. Climbing all over buses.

If it weren't for the scare stories, some of them would be over in Russia now behaving like that.
