Another day, another controversy for Liverpool star Raheem Sterling met with tedious outrage in the papers.
Just days after it emerged he had been puffing a shisha pipe, Sterling was snapped supposedly inhaling something with much more front-page headline potential: ‘Hippy crack’ (or ‘laughing gas’ as it’s known on the streets).
The Sun have plastered him across the front page with the headline ‘Balloony’ (balloon/loony – geddit?) and pictures him apparently sucking in nitrous oxide gas from a balloon.
The paper claimed the 20-year-old England star passed out from the hit –Â just days before a game.
We’re sure Brendan Rodgers will be feeling quite like that balloon – deflated and let down.
