Raheem Sterling's game by numbers vs Arsenal:

0 key passes
0 shots on target
0 assists
0 tackles won
0 interceptions

Supposedly a great player ... our two biggest games this season and he gives us nothing ... Yup, definitely worth 100k ... I hope some club are dumb enough to offer us 50 million so he can win trophies from the bench ...
 
Carra was brutally honest with his opinions. Said pretty much everything I've been wanting to say.

We need more Carraghers in the game. Honest, loyal and hardworking professionals.

But what he said about agents/players holding clubs ransom because of a compliment from a manager caught my attention. So each time a manager praises a player for his performances, their agents get to ask for a pay rise ? Sickening.

I think that's great work from the agents. Very forward thinking - play well and get paid more.

FSG should sit all the agents down and say "You know what, you're absolutely right, your clients should be getting paid loads more for their good performances..... so anyway, this is the performance related pay scale we're introducing thanks to your wonderful suggestions..... Of course when the little pampered dear plays with all the skill & mobility of a traffic cone he'll be lucky to get his bus fare home".
 
If this is the way Sterling's going act at 20 years old..... Think what he's going to be like when he discovers the distractions of women....
 
His last 2 performances is a bit irrelevant for me tbh. He's a 20 year old kid with amazing potential.
Getting him signed up for 5 more years means we could get the best out if him from 20-23 and potentially more.
That sounds pretty ace to me.
 
He's a fucking nob, but I don't think his interview was mistimed or silly. It was carefully constructed by his agent so that the next time Sterling goes to get a ball for a throw in, a load of rightfully pissed off hairy arsed season ticket holders will shout at him for being a cunt, which in turn will give his agent all the ammo he needs to say 'I told you so, football is a fickle business, you owe them nothing, leave while you can.'
 
There will be a big three page interview with him in the Sunday Times next week, saying what a lovely chap he is and how he really dreams of the Kop singing a song specially for him. Then I think there's a 4-4-2 interview on the cards after that. It's the noisiest vow of silence in history.
 
Let's just win the FA cup. Give Sterling a test of some silver before he moves on to bigger and better things.
 
Brendan just defended Sterling with some interesting comments. He basically put the bulk of the blame on his agent and that Sterling had been ill-advised.

Hmm...
 
I can imagine Aidy Ward being the sort of agent who has watched Jerry McGuire like a million times, and fancies himself to be like his idol. Except he's turned out to be a much more shady version instead.

I can see him visiting Sterling's home one day and telling him how amazing and talented he can be. "Son, you gotta go to the gaffer and on BBC tmrw and say to their faces - 'Show me the money!'" All these while some dope hip hop music's playing in the background and Aidy's busting his moves like a fat Cuba Gooding Jr.
 
Oh for goodness' sake, I was typing from my iPad so pls excuse the brevity.

It's the 21st century. NOBODY spells 'tomorrow' on whatsapp or Twitter, etc. Pretty soon the millennials will spell it 'tmw' or find some hipster way to say it.
 
Sorry, I teach and I write books, You make me feel so inadequate with your dazzling concision.
 
English isn't my first language. Sorry. I'm glad you aren't my English teacher cos I wouldn't like one who patronizes and nitpicks on his students.
 
When SMS texting first started, the Jeremiahs were forecasting that "text-speak" would be the end of the English language as we know it. Actually I don't see much of it these days. :)
 
Arf. Somebody else once described the actual acronym to me as potentially sounding "like some skinny old guy surfacing from a dive". He can't have meant me BTW. I'm not skinny.
