Putting the footie on......want Raheem Sterling who had VICIOUS treatment by tabloids to score

The tabloids, The Sun especially, have behaved abysmally even by their own very low standards, yes. That they broughht up his tattoo just before the tournament when he’s had it for months just shows how absurd they are as well as evil.

yeah well the british tabloids are mostly thinly veiled neo-fascist rags, with some tits thrown in.

Yep, pretty much spot on, although they are a bit less terrible on several issues than before, in that they’re less racist (this is not the same as not being racist, as the Sterling stuff is partly based on race, I suspect) and a fair bit less sexist and homophobic too, although they’ve historically set themselves very low bars.

Can’t see why England favoured to progress or win in ET by comparison with Columbia so have laid England to progress aT the start of ET and to win in ET at 5.1. Neither market is moving much!
