I’ve nothing but respect for Sterling for the way he has handled this.
If those blokes have shouted anything even vaguely racist, f**k ‘em. I find it pathetic that grown men are screaming abuse at players anyway but if they’ve stooped to racism then the club is better off without their support.

Racism is a vile part of our culture, even in this day and age. And unfortunately still a massive problem in football, no matter how much you want to pretend it's not. I'm married to a mixed race woman and have two wonderful mixed race children, and even people I know and who know my family still come out with racist remarks without a second thought.
I know there are some in here that want to believe that what happened on Saturday might have been a misunderstanding, and indeed it may. But until the investigation by the Police and the Club has been concluded, it's probably best we keep and open mind and remember that until this vile abuse of players at games (not just racism) is stamped out, there is always going to be this focus on abusive fans!
Just to add though, this is a common occurrence at all football grounds in this country, not just ours, no matter how much oppo fans and pundits may like to believe it's just a select few.

Come on, I made the original Jorginho and Sarri threads, where's my credit @coco

I think a big part of the problem might be that Jorginho is still the only one fully understand the Sarri system. Once the whole team are upto speed with it, him getting marked out the game probably isn't as big an issue, but right now he's still just too vital to our coherence.

It's not arrogant at all to think we need a more attacking outlet against lesser opposition.
Yes, we may get pinched on the counter but we'll also do a lot more going forward.
I'm one of Kante's biggest fan but it seems against lesser sides, he doesn't have the desired effect as we control the ball more, especially under Sarri.

On the subject of Paulo this is from the club website:

Frank Leboeuf and Marcel Desailly for me were my favourite/fondest, back in the days when i could go more regularly. To put together a title challenge though would have to be JT and Carvalho
