Are there two Sterlings?No Edwards in the pre season trip to USA. Understandable considering he's just been at the European Championships.
Even more interesting is no Sterling.
Ah, I see. Your tweet contradicted your next statement so I thought there were two. There might be another Sterling in the youth ranks though...Just Kazaiah?
And he didn't travel.
As much as i hate the doom mongers, i think that the stadium merry go round and the necessary frugality caused by the build will mean that we will see a slight slump in form all of which i feel is completely understandable and inevitable.
If anything our success over the last few years is ahead of schedule. Once we are established in the new stadium proper and we can start really competing commercially then the sky is really the limit. But for now a top four (three?) finish and maintaining a CL presence would be acceptable for me. Also massively depends on whether the "big dogs" under achieve again.
Unfortunately i feel that anything less than a trophy would be viewed as a failure by many for and against the club.
The promised land is closer than it's ever been, within touching distance, just need to be happy and patient with these rations until then.
Club have said he has a 'virus'. Make of that what you will.No Sissoko?
I find that more interesting than anything else.
He's not injured as far as I know
He's barely played there.No Edwards in the pre season trip to USA. Understandable considering he's just been at the European Championships.
I don't get this "the big boys under achieve again" they finished below us these past few years because we were better than them, not because they under achieved.
Not to be negative. If that ends up being our group I'd be happy with third in the group. Bayern and Barca are not to laugh at. Same with Roma. Exciting games but tough onesJust had a scope at the seedings for CL.
This group is a very real possibility...
Bayern Munich
Barcelona
Tottenham Hotspur
Roma
Pot 2 is stronger than Pot 1.
I'd love that group. As much as we'd exit at the group stages. Playing against teams of that calibre will only help our players in the long term. It's what the CL is all about. It's just mad how strong the first two pots are now pot 1 has to have league champions.Not to be negative. If that ends up being our group I'd be happy with third in the group.
