I had a fun time yesterday in a pub watching the England game with some numpties from work. Of course, as soon as we kick off it's all negative jibes about Sterling.
Fifteen minutes into their nonsense, I pick on their 'leader'. "Yes, he's awful. Dreadful player, should never have been picked. What has Sterling ever actually achieved?" I asked (rhetorically.) "He left the mighty Liverpool to further his career. A reprehensible move," I said.
"And what did he actually get? Oh, yeah, a League Cup winner's medal. Oh, and a Premier League winner's medal. Ah, but look what he would have got had he stayed at Liverpool. Oh, nothing."
"Yeah, but it's easy to buy the league," says mouthy twat. "Where were your lot four years ago?"
"We won the league," I reply.
"Ok, what about six years ago?" he tries.
"We won the league," I reply.
"Did they?" he asks his fellow twats. They concur.
"When the fuck were you lot in the third division?" he asks in desperation.
I just smiled and enjoyed watching Raheem's performance on the telly.
Twats.
