Criticisms of Pep and the club for not playing him 90 mins every game was a wanker move, as was the stuff about missing kids birthdays etc. to play.Why was he a wanker?
I don’t want any ex player to succeed at our expense.
But I’d be happy if Sterling did really well at Chelsea. His bravery to join us and continue to fight against a tidal wave of hate was brilliant to see from a young man. I can only wish him well as he’s an outstanding human. And I’m a human first and a City fan second.
It's never good but, I'm glad it's 'only' a robbery.#BREAKING: Armed thugs have broken into the London house of England football star, Raheem Sterling, and carried out a major robbery, UK law enforcement sources have said.
A host of valuables including jewellery were reportedly taken from the house.
Relatives of Sterling were reportedly at home when the house was broken into.
The England FA says Sterling will miss World Cup 2022 match against Senegal which is about to kick off due to a family matter.
Sterling is expected to return to the United Kingdom.
Southgate said that it didn’t impact team selection.I wonder if Phil would have played tonight if this had not happened?
Totally agree that family well being comes before football or most other considerations @Ric. I’ve read some really horrible things tonight from people saying he gets paid all this money to play football and he should have stayed to play and how if he was in another job he wouldn’t have been allowed to go home. (These things are not from BM but other sites I was reading, I hasten to add)Must be very distressing for him, and not surprised he flew home straight away. I’d do the same thing. Hope it’s not the end of the tournament for him though.
