I didn't see the game Sunday but apparently sterling was on the receiving end of some "robust" challenges and abuse from the home crowd, as is always the way when an old player returns to face him former team - as a player you can (most of the time) take that on the chin when you are winning and everything is going sweet, but it appears that the handbag carrier has let the bad result and frustration get the better of him here, and got into a heated exchange with Gomez that almost turned physical
Have to say that I am shocked that he was thrown out of the squad unless gomez didnt accept his apology - obviously it can be argued that southgate would not have thrown him out had they been playing spain or germany (or any other top side) this week, and if I was sterling I would be very angry right now (if gomez has accepted his apology), and I would be seriously considering making myself unavailable for england as long as southgate is manager.

I watched a wee bit of it and he was getting no protection from the ref at all.
Ireland play Denmark tonight and a win sends them to the Euros but a defeat consigns them, as a third place team, to a play off next March I think...How many chances do you need to qualify..? Games for the sake of games. But I'm sure "a nation will hold it's breath " tonight to misquote an Irish commentator.

Have to say that I am very interested in the game tonight, not because it is an Ireland game as such, but more cos of who it is against - the arrogant cock in the Danish goals (son of the racist ) has continually disrespected our team over the last few years, and it fcuks me off big time. Dont get me wrong cos I am well aware of how shit we are, but for me it is one of those occasions where it is alright for us to say it, but not ok for a wankbag like that c.unt to say it. He conveniently ignores the fact that their team too would be distinctly average/shit if they hadnt got eriksson doing the creating for them, and like the little scum fcuker or not, at least he goes about his business without feeling the need to mouth off and disrespecting the opposition
I really, really despise that danish goalkeeping c.unt
The expected new manager bounce at the scum is happening we play at West ham in a fortnight..imagine the struggle we wiĺl have
Maureen has a not bad squad of players at his disposal there, they'll be well ahead of us in no time.
