    They had a squaring up during the game after Gomez was sent on to specifically shut Sterling down. No idea what was said but Gomez picked him up and shoved him a little.

    Rumours are the 2 started some "banter" today and they were at each other again.

    Well he is a centre-half, and he does have a bit of that Harry Kane not quite all there look about him.

    lol at Sterling starting on him though. Pick your fights mate.

    Micah Richards probably egged him on to do it, such was the level of his own personal seethe.

    Sterling is your best player by a mile. Gomez should have been punted, no idea why he’s even been called up in the first place.

    It's an excuse to rest him. If this had happened before an actual important match there is zero chance he'd have been "dropped."

    I know the age difference isn't massive, but Gomez is a kid in that squad and Sterling is meant to be a senior pro. He shouldn't be attacking people in the canteen. I can think of other players who would go fully under the bus for that sort of thing in the past, but that's a can of worms.

    It'd be great man management to biff the guy who did nothing though.

    Someone on Twitter had it correct. It would be like siding with Juan Foyth over Leo Messi.

    Siding with Messi a famously successful international stratagem.

    It's either have it forgotten this time next week or be still hearing about it in 15 years time. They probably did make the best decision.

    It would actually be like siding with Poland over the Wehrmacht, if we're doing fucking stupid analogies.

    That’s being harsh to Foyth. Joe Gomez is a fourth choice centre back and second choice right back. A black Phill Jones.

    In Royk Eane's day the Dressing Room would have solved this, so either they don't exist anymore or everyone in a position to have actually solved it by telling them to grow up is a fanny.

    A kid on Liverpool’s bench trying to banter off Sterling for a match he was barely involved in should be getting two footed in training for the rest of the week.

    He was sent on in said match to stop Sterling and did it perfectly.

    Any bollocks here about this being anything other than Sterling being a prick again is moot.

    I see Liverpool fans are frothing at the idea of Sterling being the victim. That’s funny.

    Yeah I'm with waff, deciding on who's in the right and who's in the wrong & appropriate punishment should be based on who has more insta followers and who can do the most keepy uppies. Lee Hughes scored well more goals than that family he killed so fuck knows what the judge was thinking.

    Why would they name that a day in advance? Does Alan Browne's confirmed presence get the tickets flying over the counter?

    None of them will feature against Denmark next week so I'd say he just got it out of the way.

    It doesn't matter how much football changes. The Arsenal board will always be there to remind you of what it used to be.

    And now the Daily Mail says there is ‘friction over O’Leary‘s proposed involvement’ in the hierarchy with chairman Sir Chips Keswick wanting the former club captain to become a football consultant on the board.

    Keswick isn’t alone in wanting O’Leary to advise ‘on football matters’ with fellow board member Lord Harris of Peckham in support of the idea.

    I guess his stint at Monaco ruled out most European jobs for him and he doesn't strike me as the sort to want to start lower down the ladder. MLS is what it is which begs the question, whatever happened to Owen Coyle?

    I don't think he made it to be a 4.5 star manager.

    On 28 September 2017, Scottish Premiership club Ross County appointed Coyle as their manager on a two-year contract.[55] He resigned from this position on 1 March 2018, with the club sitting bottom of the league.

    What was it that prompted the infamous SG rating? Was his team playing fashionable tippy tappy at the time? I don't recall him doing anything whatsoever in management, though I could be mistaken.

    I was at his international debut.

    EDIT: Actually it was Tommy Coyne.

    I'm currently watching a game between Turkey and Iceland in which neither has any interest whatsoever in scoring a goal. It's strangely entrancing.

    Marcelo Lippi, reportedly the highest paid manager in the world, has quit as head coach of China after they were beaten 2-1 by Syria.

    Meanwhile Vietnam went top of Group G after a fantastic 1-0 victory at home to UAE. Victory at home to Thailand next week will almost ensure qualification to the third, and final round.
