Amazing how when it's Labour who want to spend, it's a magic money tree or 'where will he get the money from?!' but when it's the Tories, it's all fine to give £1bn just like that to the DUP or spunk millions and millions on Brexit to get absolutely fucking nowhere.

Not worked out for Kean...

That is superb

I definitely am not and do not live in such a style.

Actually agree that it shouldn't be changed midway through a season. Staying as it is but will be interesting to see how their fan research goes...

You must be excited? Will you be going to either?

Mainly misguided predictions To be honest, I do look out for Dusseldorf results because of your support. Likewise Werder Bremen for @nudge & @Devil-Dick Willie, or Schalke for @SchalkeUK etc etc. Dortmund would still be my preferred team. But I have taken a liking to Frankfurt - didn't really watch them play much before last season but their Europa League campaign opened my eyes up to how well they can play and how well they're supported. To be fair, support for German football, in stadiums, is ridiculously good. Even in 2. Bundesliga it's sell outs for grounds up to 60,000?! Can't knock that at all.

Safe to say Arsenal have definitely gone backwards since hiring Emery? Not to say that keeping Wenger was the answer, but perhaps Emery wasn't either...

It is understood that the scratch that was later apparent under Gomez’s right eye during Monday’s training session could have come from one of those trying to separate the two. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/11/12/england-teammates-raheem-sterling-joe-gomez-came-blows-steps/ I couldn't think of anything on this level but Neville, Lampard, Ferdinand have all said either before or after this latest incident that club rivalries can affect the England side when they meet up for international duty.

That's one way of spinning it! Not seen any reports of a headlock. The scratch didn't come from Sterling. It's not like Sterling has stopped Gomez' international career either so that can be nipped in the bud Gomez has done well not to retaliate as many others I think would have, and wanted to assert their own authority. I know you Liverpool lads don't like Sterling but think you need to just put that to the side temporarily...

Further to that, I think it's been concluded that the cut in question was actually from another player when they were trying to separate Sterling & Gomez. As TAD says, just a scratch. Still think it's being blown well out of proportion. MSM love when England do shite. They lap it up like there's no tomorrow. This minor incident plays right in to their hands.

Chilwell did the same thing for Soyuncu on a tweet at the weekend (can't remember who he compared him to) and literally no-one picked him up on it. Not saying that he should have. More that Silva shouldn't have been punished either for it. I wonder if the FA asked Mendy about it? Surely as the person involved you ask for their opinion and if any offence has been taken?

Probably media (if that's who you mean) trying to win back some pride after all the shite they've given him for several years? They've got a lot more to do than that though... If you mean anyone on here - I still think it's been blown out of proportion and it's not just 'poor Raheem'. Wouldn't say its entirely unprovoked, either, given the coming together from Sunday's game between the two. Can't remember about others but I like the way Gomez was quick to put a stop to it and shake hands with him. So no, it's not just poor Raheem... I mentioned in the England thread, we have absolutely no idea what was fully said between the two players in the immediate lead up to the altercation, do we? If the person that was actually involved on the end of Sterling's behaviour can draw a line under it so quickly, why can't everyone else? Why does there have to be such a big deal over something that lasted for such a very short time? It's been exaggerated purely because it was leaked - and I would love to know where or how it was leaked. Maybe someone working at the canteen, maybe even a player or staff member. Who knows?

I think they'll both be miraculously fine.

Why does he always walk like he's got a dingleberry ?!

BUT YOU'RE A TORY FROM THE SOUTH! P.S Good read and promising to see, specifically employer engagement as always been a fan of developing your own staff as much as hiring good 'ready-made' individuals.

These are brilliant

Begs the question if there's someone leaking info from inside SGP...

Would love to know what Sterling has done/said which means he misses out and not Gomez or both of them. Wonder what the other Liverpool/City lads have said or done in the situation too.

Wonder if they'll be the new rivalry once Lewis and Seb step away.

This is magnificent. The road leading to the view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Literally what my eyes led me to

Very nice.

Kasper's doing alright as captain for us

Also just means he got to 10 in one less game if he didn't score against Utd, as well
