I also thought Robbie Earle was extremely eloquent this morning.

is only starting to infect English football to be lacking awareness.

It's been there for a long time.

Was that it's starting to creep back into the forefront after a lot of effort had been spent on player, coach and supporter outreach.

to listen to him express his feeling that he'd (and other older players) had failed the younger generation of guys like Sterling.

It's never completely gone away but I'm guessing that Earle and others of his age would have hoped that issues like what happened at Stamford Bridge would have stopped by now.

You could see how much it was affecting him. Rebecca wanted to give him a hug.

Side note: Rebecca can hug me whenever she wants.
