Micah Richards: "There are always going to be people who have a certain opinion of people.
"I have to say in English football that I think it has been outstanding.
"There have been a couple of cases of late we're not really happy about but since I've been playing, since I was 17, I've not really heard too much racism at all.
"There are going to be little incidents, but as long as they are sorted out and dealt with in the right manner, we've just got to move forward.
"I did enjoy Twitter and the banter with the fans, but I didn't like the abuse you get on it.
"Sometimes you want to retaliate, but you have to be the bigger man and not.
"I thought it was just for the best for myself because it can affect your confidence if people are saying things about you.
"I just thought it was best to come off and concentrate fully on football."
