Steven Gerrard and Liverpool.

[grummitts gloves]

An outstanding player who has shown true loyalty to his native club. An emotional day for him, remembering a relative who lost their life. Brendan Rogers, a very bright and forward thinking manager. Not a manufactured club like City or Chelsea. Hope they win it, if only for the pure quality football they have played this season. If you can't respect and enjoy what they have done, then you can't all yourself a fan of football IMHO.

massive amount of respect for Gerrard today. showed the passion and emotion that is more often than not lacking in professional footballers these days. the huddle might have been cheesy, but he was doing a captain's job imploring his team to remain focused on the games to come. finally, a few minutes later, he conducted an eloquent and humorous TV interview. don't think anyone 'deserves' a champion's medal but i certainly hope he gets one.

That huddle was cringe central though

Perhaps the huddle was because of the occasion, Gerrard lost his older cousin who he idolised, 25 years ago in the Hillsborough disaster.
Perhaps it was a sign of unity and thanks eh.

Liked the way he said 'i will leave it to Nevillve and Redknapp to decide who will win it' Nice one.

 

[Paris]

Couldn't agree more. Feel he really deserves it. Liverpool through and through.

He'd have lost both knee-caps had he left for Stamford Bridge

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

When we played Liverpool in the league cup at the Amex and everyone was cheering and applauding him. Now that was cringe central. We came to support Brighton not cheer the Liverpool captain.

Didn't think it was cheesy - lots of teams do it after a big win, they just don't have the Sky cameras breathing down their necks. I would love to see Steven Gerrard lift the Premier League trophy. He's carried that team for years and now they finally have a decent squad around him, he deserves everything he gets.

My only criticism is that he didn't punch Geoff Shreeves in the face. You couldn't come up with more ridiculous questions if you tried. What a tosspot

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Yes, but it does also mean Suarez gets a winners medal

I too will be happy for Gerrard to win the league. He is one of very few players who has stayed loyal to his club , when he had offers of more money and more potential to win medals. Even when liverpool were finishing around mid table he stayed loyal. You dont really see that nowadays

Like to see him win a pl medal but you seemed to forget he almost signed for Chelsea a few years back and then Liverpool offered him a big wage increase to stay.good player- yes,loyal- no

Indeed, how dare someone consider trying to better themselves and test themselves at the highest level of their profession. People should just get one job and stay in it forever, and never even consider moving on to further their career.

Yes that would never ever happen at Brighton #Calde

That huddle was cringe central though

I think it was spontaneous and showed the passion and the intensity within the team, particularly in Gerrard. It didn't make me cringe at all. At least they weren't running around kissing the badge. I hope he wins the title.

 

[The Truth]

How much does the great noble Steven Gerrard take a week off Liverpool in wages?

Except he didn't leave in the end because he said if he won the prem with Chelsea it wouldn't mean the same as winning it with L'pool. No harm in exploring other opporunities IMO, but the important thing in the end is that he didn't/couldn't leanr Anfield. Loyal .... Absolutely

Yes, he's very well paid. He could have been paid much more by moving to another club such as Chelsea.

If that was Greer and we were 4 games from winning the title you'd need a man hug.

 

[keaton]

Steven Gerrard is a bloody hero. He deserves a Premier League medal more than anyone else I can think of in the top flight.

Why?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Hmmm. There are plenty of rumours as to why Steven Gerrard didn't leave Liverpool back when Chelsea made their move. I'm not sure money is at the top of the list...

Yep, as i mentioned on this thread yesterday he felt intimidated and stayed as a result of this. Pure and simple. All this loyalty talk is BS. Burning effergies etc.

That thread from yesterday is comedy gold - ''He wasn't going to leave it was an admin mix up''

Facking Hell
