Sterling was good the year before, but don't pin it all on him. Also other than him having a holiday in the middle of the season, he's also been rested numerous times. He's a footballer ffs don't give him a cheap excuse to blame his poor performances.

Okay cool, I'll agree with that then. Even though it's a bit stupid for me but yeah.

The same shit team almost won the league last year, no I don't expect him to drag us 'by the scruff of the neck', but playing decent would be a start.

And so basically every team that isn't Barcelona, Madrid or Bayern Munich are a stepping stone in some form then.

Except, saying that is completely different You're just using players we signed to try prove a point The similar thing about Sterling and say Sinclair, is Sinclair, went there as a youngster (23 I think he was but still in early part of his career) and was never given a chance. The likes of Sahin etc were given a chance, they just never really fitted into the team / weren't good enough. For Sinclair completely killed his career and now he can barely get into a Villa team. As for starting over Navas, I'm not even going to pretend I watch Navas enough, but I don't think it would be such a sure thing.

As for trophies etc, if that's the case, where the fuck was he against Chelsea in the league cup? Or Villa? Or any of the European games tbf. As for being in Europe, yeah I guess he'll get his 6 games in the group stages each year.

Are you comparing us to Southampton? Also no, we have a choice, but no, we don't have to sell.

Actually going on from it, a stepping stone club is someone where a player only really joins to move onto a bigger club in the future. Which one of our players has done that? Suarez? Again we didn't have to sell him, was a choice (whether a bad one or not that's another thing) after the bad publicity he brought to the club. No idea where you're getting the stepping club tag from, as I don't remember any players that signed here with the aim to leave another club down the line. Maybe Torrres? But that was a weird transfer

It's a vary similar situation actually, no matter how much better Sterling is. Fucking ran him into the grand, he's a football player ffs, wanting 100k a week, let's not be ridiculous. Plus the only reason he played so much is cause Sturridge was out and the rest are shit.

Stepping club my arse. Plus what exactly is he going to accomplish at another club? Playing his 5 games to get a winners medal at Chelsea? Yeah that's top for his development.

I have absolutely no sympathy for [old club]"

“They have a choice as a club. They don’t have to sell. They had that choice. Maybe [old club] objectives have changed. They were on course to be a ­Champions League club, I believe, but, obviously, that has changed.

"That’s the nature of it. Players will want to compete at the highest level.

“[Young talented player who hasn't achieved anything] was probably disappointed and sad to leave [old club], but he’s gone to a what he would deem to be a bigger club.

“The guys have come here because of the status of [new club] and Champions League football. It’s hard to deny players that – and that will always be the case. I think chairmen and directors and executives understand that, so all they can do is maximise what they can get for the talent and look to invest again.”

Don't be so stupid. Had it not been for Rodgers actually playing him 'so much', i.e going to a club like City, he would have ended up like your Sinclair etc or still be rotting in reserves without a game to his name. I think the fact Rodgers gave him a break in the middle of the season is anything something Sterling should have some respect for, there isn't any senior players who would get that sort of treatment yet alone a 20 year old who's forms been shit.

I don't think anyone begrudges him if he does eventually leave, or even if he left this year without being a total cunt about it. But Flash hit the nail on the head, he's "just broke into the team within the last 2 years and he wants to jump ship already when he's only 20 and has done fuck all yet".

Nobody is even saying we are good enough or that he'll become a world class player, and I could argue about that but I won't. It's more with how he's come out with it all, plus I don't think you can argue that right now, for the next year or two this club is the best for his development. Also seen some stuff like he doesn't owe Liverpool anything, well actually if anything, he's a prime example of a player who owes some loyalty to a club. The trust Rodgers showed in him has been immense.

That's not hacked, just simple java code edit / inspect element

Oh, and if a team needs a point from the final game of the season to stay or go up, I assume the result will stand if their fans invade the pitch and refuse to leave, forcing an abandonment...

The Board also asked its executive to review the League's regulations regarding abandonments to ensure that any such matches can always be played to a conclusion or replayed altogether if deemed necessary.

At its meeting in London today, the Board of Directors of The Football League considered matters relating to the abandoned Sky Bet Championship match between Blackpool and Huddersfield Town on May 2.

The Board took the view that the 0-0 scoreline that stood at the time of the game's abandonment (in the 48th minute) should be officially recorded as the final result of the match, as it believes that league points should always be earned on the field of play.

In addition, the Board agreed to charge Blackpool with failing to fulfil a fixture and the matter will be heard by a Football Disciplinary Commission in due course.

In making its judgment the FDC will be asked to consider any matters relating to compensation to Huddersfield Town and ticket refunds to supporters.
