Lovely player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Barclays is hoaching with racism. The English media is definitely hoaching with racism as can be evidenced by all the garbage articles that have been written about Sterling over the years. I am pretty sure that everyone associated with the Premier League appreciates hos good Sterling has been over these years, we just end up with all sorts of crap being written about him because totally not racism 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't ever a star player for Man City and currently struggles to assert himself as anything more than a rotation option (which City do a lot of tbf, but KDB, Cancelo and Dias manage to avoid). Guardiola was baffled at his habit of only ever controlling the ball on the outside of his foot, which he immediately tried to coach out of him. He's a good player who can play at top clubs, but not a top player. I'd be surprised if he goes to Barcelona, or any club in La Liga, given it's a very technical league and that's the weakest part of his game (the strongest being his excellent movement and anticipation). As for the articles criticising him, he's been in court twice on seperate domestic abuse charges (saved by witnesses mysteriously not turning up or withdrawing testimony) and got a tattoo of an assault rifle on his leg to commemorate his dad being shot. So he's almost certainly not a particularly good guy. Is there a racism tinge to his reporting? Absolutely, he's an immigrant and it's the English tabloid press... Edit: on the phone it wouldn't allow me to remove the blank quote, apologies. Edited May 19, 2022 by Satoshi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso the double domestic abuse allegations that were both serious enough to come to court, and both had witnesses withdrawing testimony. And the tattoo is just straight up weird behaviour, I think it's far more likely he just thought it was a cool image and linking it back to his dad's death was an excuse. If it's a genuine tribute it's much worse, at least for me. But if both seem fine and normal to you then fair enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said both are fine, I asked how a grown adult getting a tattoo in tribute to his father makes him a tasteless individual. You've started questioning if it is the true reasoning behind it and casting aspersions based on it being a gun. You're now flailing and trying to claim I've said domestic abuse is normal. Think you need to take a wee step back and consider hitting 'send' before you post shite like that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you need to take a wee step back and consider hitting 'send' before you post shite like that. I actually never even used the word tasteless, I think he's a weirdo and almost certainly not a good guy. Does my opinion really matter to him? I doubt it. Most of the bad things he's allegedly done are a few years in the past so maybe he's turned a new leaf. I hope so. I can't really imagine a world where the parents of Sandy Hook victims, or the Dunblane massacare, in lieu of other forms of commeration decide to get an assault rifle tattooed across their chest and nobody thinking this was odd. Sterling only said it was a tribute to his father after there was articles criticising it. Whether it was a tribute or not, it's weird behaviour. I think so, you may not, it really doesn't matter either way to be honest. If one of my family members wanted to get an assault rifle tattoed on their leg I'd probably discourage it. Trivia: the police won't allow you to join if you have a gun tattoo, taking away one of Sterlings post football career options. Very much off topic though, squeaky bum time for me in fantasy football tonight, hoping to go into the final league game with some sort of lead in my ML and need Aston Villa defence to deliver. Been an underwhelming free hit so far. Edited May 19, 2022 by Satoshi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I see Man U will have an all Dutch coaching team next season as Ten Hag is joined by Mictchell Van De Gaag and Steve McClaren.

The statement I was disagreeing with is that "the Barclays is hoaching with racism" which I took to mean top level English football was hoaching with racism, which seemed a baseless take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively unsurprising that a vaguely competent manager has come in and immediately recognised the need to get rid. Was it £50million that Palace got for him? They must have been absolutely pishing themselves at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty unceremonious aswell, that he's barely in the door with a full summer of transfer business and other graft to get into, and 1 guy under contract has been fed to the media already! Mental in all honesty, that it wasn't Harry Maguire though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
