Sterling is a quality player who has often come to Englands rescue.
It shows the state of this countries feelings when people rejoice that heâs been dropped.
Well done Brighton on achieving Europa League. They took the game to Man City after a slow start and were certainly good for the point needed.

What an absolutely immense season. Relieved donât need anything against Villa, as we tend to struggle against them.
6th Place. And not one game where we parked the bus to get a point. Still quite hard to comprehend what a season weâve had.
Summer will be interesting. A few players will be sold , so hope the new ones can be bedded in. And then get used to playing twice a week. Whatever happens, itâll be fun !

Whoâs to say someone else playing instead wouldnât have been far more consistent?
Iâve seen more of him this season than any other so have formed an opinion based on frequent observation rather than on a part time basis through occasional views in England or City games.
Yes, he can run fast. Yes, he can go past one player, sometimes two even. However, his quality decision making ratio is woefully poor on an epic scale, so what happens next is too often a shambles.
He gives the ball away far too often, several times, in most games. He falls over a lot, I mean a lot, usually as heâs being dispossessed (taking him out of play while the opposition counter attack having just got the ball off him again).
Iâve noticed team mates become reluctant to support him too closely when he goes on one of his waltzes and I suspect this is because they know the rate of successful visits to the opposition box is so low they know theyâre going to be needed to track back and cover.
This season has been the perfect opportunity to show what he can do, i.e. be a stand out seasoned top flight pro (like Silva for example) while others about him struggle but heâs been largely abject.
Yes heâs got us a couple of winners across the season but it should be far more than that. I feel the same about his England career.

I definitely side with your opinion Jamie. He has had some good games for club and country, but certainly not recently. He seems to be a player that constantly divides opinion. I was at the Etihad several years ago, and there was an audible groan from a significant minority of ManC supporters when his name was announced coming on as a substitute. Maguire should also have been left out of the squad; hopefully he will rediscover some sort of form at a new club in the summer.
Saw an old lady struggling with some heavy shopping earlier.
âCan you manage dear?â I asked.
âYes young man,â she replied. âBut I donât want the Tottenham job.â

Mange about sums it upâŚ
Wouldnât disagree with you John.
They are a very similar size club to us & last night on R5 Live, their chairman gave a very realistic interview where he was not pleading poverty, but did say there was not huge amounts of cash for players. He also said they did not want to sell their best players but would not stand in anyoneâs way if they made it clear they wanted to leave.
I donât know if there are any billionaires involved at the Amex but, assuming there arenât, then their finances over the past few years must be similar to ours. This begs the question âwhat have they been doing different to us?â.
Looks like Hughton left them in a better position than he left us & they donât have a Webber!
Seriously, well done them but why couldnât we be in the same position. At least they havenât beaten Bayern Munich in EuropeâŚyet.

Saw this data set recently:
Certainly illustrates the frustration felt by Norwich fans on this seasonâs performance when looking at the clubâs weekly wage bill.
I was also struck by how well Luton and Coventry have performed this season given how relatively modest their weekly wage bills are.
