Love to see how sky spin this with so many dead rubbers.
Quote from: lovejoy on May 21, 2015, 10:01:03 PMLove to see how sky spin this with so many dead rubbers.NBC (like last year) are showing all 10 games on 10 different channels. I'm not even sure I get the channel that the Villa game is on!

Football's most controversial transfer saga exploded into acrimony today as England star Raheem Sterling’s agent launched an extraordinary attack on Liverpool and the club’s former players.The Premier League striker’s representative, Aidy Ward, said Londoner Sterling would refuse to sign a new deal even if he was offered nearly £1 million a week and may well return to the capital to play for Chelsea.20-year-old Sterling, one of English football’s brightest young prospects, has already turned down a £100,000-a-week deal and is set to have a crunch meeting with manager Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre tomorrow.The protracted and bitter negotiations have reignited the debate about the effect of big money deals on young football players and former Liverpool stars and pundits have queued up to attack Sterling and his advisers.But hitting back today, Ward told the Standard he “didn’t care” about the club or its image, dismissed criticism by former players as “irrelevant” and branded Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher “a knob”.He said: “I don’t care about the PR of the club and the club situation. I don’t care.“He is definitely not signing. He’s not signing for £700, £800, £900 thousand a week. He is not signing.“My job is to make sure I do the best with them (my clients). If people say I am bad at my job, or they are badly advised it does not matter.”Sterling’s relationship with Liverpool has deteriorated since giving an unauthorised interview to the BBC in which he insisted he was not a “money-grabber”.Many have blamed his agent Aidy Ward for allegedly giving him “terrible advice” over the handling of contract negotiations and for orchestrating the interview as leverage.Sterling, who was booed as he collected the club’s Young Player of the Year award this week, is rapidly falling out of favour with Liverpool fans, with one apparently kicking his car as he drove away from Liverpool’s training ground yesterday.He said their criticism would be the same if Sterling stayed and then left in two years’ time when his contract expires, the only difference being the club would receive less money in transfer fees.And he also appeared to blame the club for making news about the discussions public, saying: “How did this all occur? There is no smoke without fire.”Ward said Sterling would not move to Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich, and suggested Chelsea or Manchester City were the most likely destinations.He added: “I am not worried. Worried is making a decision not knowing what is going to happen. Every Premier League club will make a bid for him.”Ward, 34, from Bromley, Kent, was formerly associated with agency Impact Sports Management before setting up his own company.He is also Saido Berahino’s agent, who himself has been at the centre of public contract negotiations with West Bromwich Albion, while Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also thought to be set to join his roster of clients.Sterling has been public in crediting his agent for helping him improve as a footballer, for “getting inside my head” to help him to fulfil his potential.However Lawrenson lamented the fact Sterling was “so badly advised”.He said: “There were stories three months ago that he could play for Real Madrid, that he could play for Barcelona…. Absolute tosh, he’s a million miles away from that.”Ward clearly plans to try to force Liverpool into selling the star, who currently earns £35,000-a-week, despite the manager’s insistence that he is not going anywhere.The club’s handling of the contract situation has however been criticised, especially as Sterling was not offered an improved deal after they challenged for the title last season.And his relationship with the club appeared to sour significantly after telling the BBC he was not a “money-grabbing 20-year-old” but wanted to “win trophies”.Nevertheless, Souness said the striker should stay at the club.He told Sky Sports: “At the end of the day, he’s maybe being advised by people who have the wrong priorities – right now it’s all about him learning how to play the game, understanding the game and improving.“Nothing is ever set in stone but he’s privately making it known that he wants to leave Liverpool then that news will get out and the fans will be entitled to turn on him.”
Sterling and Berahino strike as the very worst of the modern footballer, just something about the pair of them. I can see them both pissing their careers away.
Not sure if this has been posted before..........yep, I think that's a sending off offencehttp://youtu.be/E3YCCAaYCKI
This could get very interesting!QuoteFootball's most controversial transfer saga exploded into acrimony today as England star Raheem Sterling’s agent launched an extraordinary attack on Liverpool and the club’s former players.The Premier League striker’s representative, Aidy Ward, said Londoner Sterling would refuse to sign a new deal even if he was offered nearly £1 million a week and may well return to the capital to play for Chelsea.20-year-old Sterling, one of English football’s brightest young prospects, has already turned down a £100,000-a-week deal and is set to have a crunch meeting with manager Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre tomorrow.The protracted and bitter negotiations have reignited the debate about the effect of big money deals on young football players and former Liverpool stars and pundits have queued up to attack Sterling and his advisers.But hitting back today, Ward told the Standard he “didn’t care” about the club or its image, dismissed criticism by former players as “irrelevant” and branded Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher “a knob”.He said: “I don’t care about the PR of the club and the club situation.

Funny how I put the two players together in this post.Quote from: PeterWithesShin on May 19, 2015, 12:00:55 AMSterling and Berahino strike as the very worst of the modern footballer, just something about the pair of them.
