It's not so much the pic that annoys me (it might make the lad choose his "friends" a bit more carefully in future though). Although I'm not sure what the paper expects a millionaire footballer to do; bathe in one of those old galvanised tin baths in front of the fire perhaps? It's the "England failure" bit, like he was the only one. It definitely smacks of a concerted campaign against a particular player, and it stinks.He hasn't helped himself, but it's clear as day he's become the current scapegoat for England's woes.
I don't think half the media are out to get him, I think half the media are sheep and just latch on to current trends and the current trend is 'Joe Hart's cocky' and 'Sterling is arrogant and useless'.
Conversely, anything coming out of Tottenham or Liverpool s the bright future of England - that's been the mantra for the past few years now.
