• Match report: Arsenal 4-1 Liverpool
To be fair to Raheem Sterling he did get one thing right this week. The build-up to this match had been dominated by that self-promotional video, during which Sterling declared himself “flattered” by talk of a £50m move to Arsenal. On this evidence he’s got a pretty good point too.
Football has a grand inglorious tradition of ill-advised pre-match pronouncements. Quite where Raheem Sterling: Knowing Me Knowing You (special feature: Raheem’s Big Pocket) stands in the pantheon of self-defeating self-aggrandisements remains to be seen. Perhaps in the ongoing power play over contracts and transfers it will eventually be judged a triumph.
