That’s right he didn’t.

All he had to do was not pick him .

It all sounds a bit handbags so for me Gareth has hugely overreacted and some of his comments should have been kept private. If senior players wanted Sterling dropped and punished then that speaks of anything but a united squad. Still, Sterling gets a rest and I seriously hope Gareth lives to regret his actions and we don't score. Of course that's unlikely given the opposition and, like others, I wonder if it would have happened if the opposition and stakes were higher.
Apart from his penalty taking I've always admired Gareth but this has changed that somewhat.

I think one of the problems now is keeping this sort of thing quiet.
With social media almost everything comes out eventually .
Would he look weak if he didn’t do anything?
So he can’t win , dammed if he does or dosnt.
All we can hope for is the players learn to behave themselves, but we are talking footballers !?

What i don't get is apparently they had both made up, said there piece and it was done and dusted. Next thing its blown up into this. am with you, i think Mr Southgate has handled it poorly. What exactly in sending Sterling home has it actually achieved.

Well it gives the lad a rest!
I don’t think the whole story has been told ,you would not send your best striker in the form of his life home for a schoolboy argument.
There must be more to it.

As cc98 says in this day and age there is absolutely no way that the story would not have leaked to the media.
From that point onwards it would have become a distraction. This way means that it has been dealt with at the outset.
End of story.

You waiting for City to get the T’Shirts printed.
mendy has probably already got some printed
reading more reports, it would seem Sterling just couldn’t let it go accusing Gomez and asking him if he was now ‘the bigger man’, then launched at him putting him in a head lock scratching his face in the tussle that sent food and tables everywhere!
however, I’ve just read that the decision to not select him has been revoked after senior players approached Southgate and stated the decision not to play him was wrong and and asked him to reconsider, which he has!
what a friggin shambles!

Well if that’s true the original decision was correct .
I would send the little pr..k home until he can behave himself.

Its not like sterling to fly off the handle unless something has been said. What? Like i said it was sorted out between the two involved. It should of been left at that, now its all been blown up into this and now he's a little Pr..k. not good at all.

Perhaps all he has done is reinforce the impression some may have had of him.......

Re Sterling, i find it very hard to judge Southgates actions as I, like the rest of us, dont know exactly what went on. I've read 4 different versions of the incident....
If Southgate thinks dropping him for a meaningless qualifier is the right action then nobody should really have a go at him. He's the manager and has to make decisions based on how he see's fit, irrespective of whether the media, city England fans think it's right.

That bobbled up quite a lot to be fair to him. (Spoken as someone who's missed a few sitters in the past..)
