Sterling..

[frogiron]

I got $30 a day and Grolsch for $1.25 in the crew bar

Who is Grolsch and why is he so cheap?

[Taansend]

Dutch and absolutely delicious. I got my lips around Grolsch as often as I could back then.

What the hell has any of this got to do with Brendan Rodgers? There appears to be no problem between Sterling and his club.

This is an issue between Hodgson & Sterling. An England, not Liverpool, issue.

If Hodgson thinks the bloke is a ***** he can drop him. If he thinks Sterling has a point he can pick him.

And we all move on FFS.

Bonjour mon ami.

Storm in a teacup imo mate. If he refused to play for his club it's a different matter, contracts and all that. But he didn't. In fact as I understand it he didn't even actually refuse to play.

Like I say if Hodgson is upset, offended, or just plain p1ssed off by Sterling's actions he has the option of leaving him out of his next selection. Or any other selection he makes while he holds the job.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks Hodgson saw questions about him omitting Sterling from the s

Agree with that Whiskey.

The Hodge has simply succeeded in creating a potentially poor relationship with one of the brightest talents we've seen in a long time.

Great job.

I prefer the position of 'bloke who presses the button on the sausage machine' as described in Frogsters post.

But you are saying that one person not being up to things on a particular day means that he can NEVER perform that task again.

Which is a little bit silly. Actually a lot silly.

If I said that it would be true...however, he has form right...a year or two ago he had to be dropped by Liverpool because of burn out...THEN he was young...THEN he was given a chance to mature but now at 19 I doubt his body will ever cope and almost certainly we will see later on this season that he will MANAGE to play in CL games and PL games when Liverpool need him.

I think you are over complicating this.

Not really. I think you are under complicating it. It is reductive in the extreme to suggest that a player not feeling sufficiently prepared for an important game, and saying so, means he should be forever prevented from playing for his country again.

Perhaps I have misunderstood, but it seems to me that is that what you are saying isn't it?

Secondly, the crap about your prize player going to a competitor ??? Really, so drop the poor tired little soul and he will go and play for Spain ???? (Actually you said competitor so lets say Estonia )

That is cr4p, you are right. But it's not actually what I said, is it?

You may well consider me a thick buffoon, that is your prerogative, but I struggle to see how you would believe I would think a player could be transferred at inter

Again all my opinion. Argue all you want but please don't try and ram your opinion down my throat.

If "ramming my opinion down your throat" means suggesting - without being rude or trying to demean you - that you have made a sweeping statement that was clearly unjustified and perhaps not well thought through, which you then spend three pages trying, with a signal lack of success, to defend, then I plead guilty, and apologise if this is somehow upsetting.

The alternative would be for everyone to simply say "I agree with everything HM says".

In which case, this forum would simply disappear in a puff of pointlessness.
