Even more importantly, today's the day that I'll be in touch with Dougie Mac and Just Giving to arrange the transfer directly between them for when the time comes. The skeptics can all calm down now. I'm amazed at the donations received, it's more than I even thought was possible and for a great cause. The current total is a huge effort (after 3 days!) and I'm sure it will be put to great use by Dougie Mac. Thank you to each of you.

Today's a big day for England, final group game and lets face it, we want to see all of the players do well and three points. Obviously I've called out Sterling for underperforming (by his own standards) and with the exposure it has gained I'm almost certain he's aware of it. I hope he doesn't take it seriously. I won't lie, a week later (and if not for Vardy & Sturridge) I'd of possibly been fund raising to bring Kane and Hart home. Fickle I know. I for one sincerely hope he features tonight and plays like the Sterling of old.

Hopefully Sterling has a phone and see's this and realises how we feel. You never know he might actually get out on the touchline and cross properly, beat a defender or even score one from 6 yards then. Even better, he does all that and chucks a tenner in the pot. All jokes aside though the guy used to terrorise defenders at Liverpool, that's the Sterling I want to see in an England shirt.
