Segregation, one reason why England will never win a World Cup or European Championship any time soon

It's depressing watching your fellow countrymen and women round on certain England Internationals at every possible chance they get, we all know it's nothing to do with one bad performance or one mistake. We all know it's about opposing fans wanting their players playing for England, rather than players of clubs they hate. This English football fan mentality is what's wrong with English International football, when you're supporting your country you're supposed to put your differences aside and support whoever it is that represents the Country. But no some, I say some but not all are so bitter and hateful, that they're incapable of understanding that their actions have consequences.

I recently published an article on how Sterling has been treated by England fans since leaving Liverpool and signing for Manchester City. I strongly believe there's a considerable amount of England fans hell bent on causing Raheem Sterling enough grief to negatively affect his game and mental well being. Sterling's still a young lad is vulnerable and these England fans just don't care, so who's going to stand up for the lad aye?

As of yet no ones defended the lad accept a few of us City fans, the British Media have strung him up and lash him at every chance they get. I can only imagine how that feels for the lad, especially after he was lynched by Liverpool fans. I'm a father and I have to say, if anyone threatened my Son like Liverpool fans did his Daughter, I'd be more than upset. For those fans to continue attacking Sterling is just wrong, what's to say the treatment he's getting isn't part of the reason for his performances for England or lack of.

It's all well and good having an opinion but, when it comes to constantly targeting someone. It's no longer an opinion but an obsession and an unhealthy one at that, especially when it's constantly negative and without good reason. I'm not trying to change the world, I'm well aware the world will never be without, hate, racism or prejudice. If I can just make one person see the error of their ways then great.

Every England fan should be behind England no matter who is representing the country, the fact these lost souls chose to attack Raheem Sterling and Joe Hart rather than enjoy the fact England drew one and won one. This proves that there are still deep issues within the English fan base despite wiping out Racism within English Football, segregation is still very much alive and kicking.

England can not succeed without every ones support, when you single out people it only causes problems. Not just for the player being targeted but also for the players around him. Those who witness and wonder whether or not they will the be next to be put on the chopping block or hung from the rafters. Players will claim they don't let it bother or affect them but, that isn't the case as they are human just like us, have feelings and we can only take so much before we say enough is enough

I'm not a huge fan of Roy Hodgson but he has my respect for sticking with Sterling.

A Tough December For Manchester City, Nolito Rumour Just Doesn't Add Up?

The Premier League fixtures are out and it looks like we have a pretty balanced season until we hit December, meeting Chelsea on the 3rd followed by Leicester City on the 10th, Watford 4 days later on the 14th, 3 days after Watford on the 14th, we play Arsenal on the 17th, Hull city on the 26th and finally Liverpool on the 31st. Other than December the only other tough run is sandwiched between March and April so Pep Guardiola shouldn't have a problem hitting the ground running. Over the last few days we've been linked with Spanish International Nolito currently on International duty with David Silva, two Spanish Journalists Manu Carreño and Quim Domènech Puigbó released statements that Manchester City want to sign the 29 year old Winger. When questioned about the speculation Nolito declared he knew nothing of the interest from Manchester City, that he's only concentrating on Euro 2016. It remains to be seen whether or not this is just another no story but looking at the facts, I just don't see it happening.

The first problem is he's 29 and Manchester City already have enough senior players in our ranks. Next is his transfer fee, Mundo Deportivo are saying Manchester City's offering him a 4 year contract and the release clause from Celta de Vigo is around £14 million. Now 3 and half million per year seems reasonable but, he's 29 and I I just don't see us getting 4 good years out of him. In our clubs experience very few players produce consistently after the age of 31, we could probably count on two hands how many have for us. He's a late bloomer and that also sounds the bell, when we already have a young proven goal scorer in our ranks in Kelechi Iheanacho. I just don't see us signing Nolito, especially considering we are apparently signing Leroy Sane who also can play on both flanks. It makes more sense that we sign younger rather than older. On that note Nolito would be an upgrade on Jesus Navas but, not enough of an upgrade for £14 million so Leroy Sane is definitely the signing for us.
