Ah football fwiends.
If Liverpool fans were worried that Raheem Sterling and Brendan Rodgers, fear not.
It would take much to convince the masses that the pair had a falling out after the England winger finally sealed his move to Manchester City.
All is good in the world, it seems, between the Irishman and the former QPR player again with both men in touch recently via text.
After Liverpool revealed their new away kit this morning in Brisbane, Rodgers spoke to the press. He told reporters that he had been speaking with Sterling and the two men are friends once again.
Sort of.
Rodgers: "Raheem and I were texting yesterday. Everything with him is fine."

We think Louis Van Gaal might be interested in this tactic after his big falling out with Victor Valdes in the last few days.
Surely a text with the appropriate emoji is all that is needed to make things good between them again.
If it worked for Brendan…
The Liverpool boss also spoke about new boy Roberto Firmino who Rodgers insists is not a direct replacement for Sterling.
“It’s not so much a direct replacement for Raheem.
“We’ve brought in a number of really good players, and if you add to that to what we’ve already got, the balance is good.”
“The flexibility of the player is important. He’s got wonderful talent, wonderful touch. He can play on the sides, through the middle or in behind.
“He’s accustomed to European football. He’s a talent who wants to score.”
