Shisha? That seriously makes the media?

Fuck me. If he was doing a line, then fair enough, but Shisha?

Fucks sake, next it'll be complaining that a footy player had an espresso.

The way the story reads it sounds as if he was photographed shooting up a heroine/anti-freeze mix.
 
I don't mind our players having the odd ciggerette or occasional binging session, but to allow yourself to have your photo taken and then for it to appear in the press feels like a calculated move.

I've never been 100% convince the Ivanovic bite wasn't a ploy either.
 
Arsenal is the shisha capital of European football. Shisha and ciggies - Wenger's legacy after his 'revolutionary' impact on player fitness.

No wonder Sterling's 'flattered' by the interest.
 
@LFCFansCorner: Sterling: "When the crowd is with you, there is nothing better. My ambition is to have my own song from the Kop."

@LFCFansCorner: Sterling: "Last season I loved the song for Luis Suarez - Steven Gerrard and Philippe Coutinho have good ones too."
 
To be honest, I've always felt the players would love songs about them and to feel loved. I think it goes a long way to making them feel wanted. Further than you might think. That's why I'm worried about the likes of Sterling, Sturridge and Henderson. You should earn a song, and these players have... Sterling's recent cuntiness aside.

He sounds a bit David Koreshy

There's only one greedy bastard.

I believe the Blackburn fans gave him a rendition on weds

Torres had the best player song ever.
 
Do you have to actually like your own players these days?

Seriously. I mean, sure it's swell if they're fucking dudes, and they endear themselves to the Kop like yer Coutinho's, Gerrard's, etc, but if they're not, if they're just walking mercenary football cliche's, is it really that big an issue anymore?

I mean, Sterling's just your average bellend professional these days. Should we care?

I wouldn't have thought Rooney will go down in history as an idol of the Stretford End, especially given all he's put them through with his contract negotiations and flirtations with City, but he's a top player and he wins them games.

Is that all football is these days? Should we even expect more?

Yes, yes it is, yes we should, no it is not, yes we should.
 
Here is a ditty I drummed up for the whiney cunt..


'controversial'

'He smokes crack, runs like a twat'
'and will stab you in the back'
'raheem sterling'

Obla di, Obla da.
Lies go on.
Raheem Sterling, ain't got no song
 
John Cross with a new article linking him to City. Apparantly they'll bid 30 mill when the season is finished.
Should change the thread title to "Sterling to City", the oracle Cross has spoken.
 
£30m.... Double it and he's off.

Otherwise he can stay on £30k a week for the next 2 years and smoke whatever he wants.
 
His BBC interview and subsequent press photos don't seem to be enhancing his public image.

Masterstroke by him and his agent.
 
He can go wherever he wants. If he doesn't want to play for Liverpool then I couldn't give a toss what he does.

Portrait by Matt Holyoak
The alarm is set for 8.30, but I put the snooze button on for five more minutes. I have training nearly every day, and I live near Southport, 45 minutes from Melwood — Liverpool’s training ground. I live in a house I bought when I was 18, with my girlfriend and various family members who come and go.
I’m the second oldest of four, and get on really well with my siblings. Mum lived with me until about a year ago, but she’s moved back to London now. She thinks I’m old enough to look after myself, but the food was much better when she was around. For breakfast, it’s usually Weetabix with hot milk, and juice. I try to eat healthily, but I can’t do without sugar on my cereal.
I drive to training in my Range Rover and have been listening to the same reggae dancehall mix for about two months. The facilities at Melwood are amazing. There are three pitches, rehabilitation and recovery rooms, a massive gym, a pool and teams of physios and masseurs. We do warm-up exercises, and inter-technical drills, like passing the ball round mannequins, and practising different turns and movements. All the while we are monitored for speed, distance, heart rate, acceleration and deceleration.
I was 15 when I signed to Liverpool’s youth team, and I have to admit I was starstruck. The first time I saw Stevie [Gerrard] I thought he was a fake! I couldn’t believe he was real and not a waxwork. Football has been the focus of my life since I got scouted for QPR at the age of 10. Until then, I’d just played kids’ football.
My family came to England from Jamaica when I was five. I never knew my dad. He was murdered out there when I was nine, so Mum has been everything to us. She’s a nurse at a Jewish community centre and she’s a very determined lady.

As a young kid I had anger issues, so was sent to Vernon House, a special school in Neasden. I liked it there because the classes were small and I did well, so I soon transferred back to mainstream school. Signing for QPR was a turning point. I trained twice a week, had matches twice a week, and spent every spare hour trying to improve.
By the time I was 14, I had trials lined up at Arsenal, Chelsea and Fulham, but my Liverpool trial at Anfield came first, and when I saw the stadium and the training ground, I thought: “Right, I’m not leaving here until I’ve signed.” For the first couple of years I lived with Peter and Sandra, who I called my “house parents”. They were the nicest people you could ever meet and treated me as a son. They will always have a warm place in my heart.
My debut for Liverpool’s first team came when I was 17, against Wigan. I was first out on the pitch. I couldn’t wait to get on the ball. I did four step- overs and a half-cross half-shot, and every time I got on the ball I ran at the defenders. It was a good day for me.

After training I have lunch in the canteen with the team. My favourite is mac and cheese with caesar salad. I’m not in the fat group, so I can eat what I want, but I always choose vegetables and fruit. It’s a laugh being with the boys, and we usually hang out to play pool or table tennis. Then I’ll try and see my two-year-old daughter, Melody Rose. I saw her four times last week. She lives close by with her mother and she’s at the hide-and-seek stage. She came to a match last season, but cried — the crowds were too much. She likes coming to training, though. Everyone says what a sweet baby she is.
Getting called up for the England World Cup squad at 19 was an amazing experience. The crowds in Brazil were massive, and I loved every minute of it. I don’t really get nervous. I’m always impatient to get on the pitch. Once I’m dribbling and in motion I’m so focused the adrenalin blocks out all the noise. Of course, when the crowd’s with you, there’s nothing better. My ambition is to have my own song from the Kop. Last season I loved the song for Luis Suarez — Gerrard and [Philippe] Coutinho have good ones too.
In the evenings I prefer to stay home. If I go out I’m always asked for selfies, so I’ve spent money making my house a fun place. I’ve got an indoor pool, a half-basketball court, a games room and my own barber’s area.
My girlfriend usually cooks dinner and it will be something like barbecue ribs or chicken wings. Friends come round and we download movies or play Fifa. I used to play as myself at Liverpool, and would never pass the ball! I’ve grown out of that.
The best part of earning so much is spending it on my family. I bought Mum a beautiful house in Jamaica last year, and it was lovely to see her so excited. I don’t take anything for granted, so every morning and night, I get down on my knees to thank God for my blessings and my family.

He likes Drake.

Get him out of my club.

I have no idea who Drake is but the fact he reads about Kim Kardasian is enough.
Can't be easy knowing your old man was murdered though. As with everything you do when you're 20 he'll look back at 40 and not believe what he was doing/saying.
 
Raheem Sterling has the ability to buyout his contract from Liverpool this summer.

The Mail on Sunday says Sterling could force his way out of Liverpool this summer, costing the club up to £25million while saving potential suitors such as Manchester City and Chelsea the same amount.

Under Premier League regulations the 20-year-old is entitled to 'buy-out' the last year of his current contract which runs out in 2017.

The effect of that would see the fee Liverpool could command for the forward dramatically reduce.

With Sterling currently on a £35,000 a week, it would cost the England international £1.7m to buy out the last year of his contract.
 
^ imagine if this was true and he exercised this option.
He would be fucking dead to me.
And you know how much he cares about that.

Going off a quick google, I'm guessing it's Article 17 of FIFA's Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players which allows a player under 28yo to cancel a contract after 3 years with (unspecified) compensation. I can't find out more because I've got to get to the pub before kick-off.
