The media don't want to see a successful England, that doesn't sell the crap they peddle, they want the misery so people will buy/click their shit in order to make their lives feel better. Sterling is the perfect foil for them, a non-native now English black person who has the audacity to shop in the readers stores and not have the decency to wash his car. The readerships Go ape at that shit as while they struggle with real life pay cuts and struggles, the media have give them somebody to air their angst at.
I think they call it the 'Little Englander', and the media know their market.
Me, I'm quite happy with the performance overall as we showed early on that we can really look the part, let down in the 2nd half by the oppo deciding to sit deep and the referee making decisions that only he will understand the reasons for.
A win to start is great and now it's in the bag, and we have a game in our legs, I'm looking forward to the next game.
Oh, and the miserable cunts can fuck off.
Great post, Beefy.
Cheers pal, but when somebody says that I'm always cynical, with the nature of the board. Great post, pure bully! However, not interested in that shit and it's the footie that takes precedence.
What's interesting today is that the media stepped back a little as their job was done. Less City fans, social media was alive with the narrative the media started, and will end with. The sheep, who I had first hand experience of last night, have followed the narrative and when you compare the narrative of Salah, or even the Rag/Dipper players, you realise who really sets the tone of the England public's mindset.
The WC is a chance for the public to unite, the media's job is to ensure that they divide and conquer. Just amazes me that there are a few that think it's about being honest but, luckily, they are now the minority, mainly due to what they see before their very eyes.
Whoever plays, I'll be supporting my country. Alway's been the case.
