BACK WITH A BANG
Modern football and loyalty are estranged. Item one: Chelsea’s shilling just about everything that’s not stuck down so that “pure profit” keeps away the spectre of profit and sustainability.

Item three: Raheem Sterling’s personal PR’s statement on Sunday complaining about the state of things within the Cobham training complex.
