Steven Gerrard announces his retirement

[Caramac]

Anyone else think he might be offered a role in the England set up?

 

 

There's been talk of this for a while and he did say in the interview he has a few offers to consider, so l suppose its possible.

[SammyAftershave]

Steven Gerrard ate my hamster and then come back and ate the cage, wheel, sawdust, the fucking lot and told me shove my flava beans and nice chianti up my arse and set fire to it.

[Juniper]

Just leaving this here. Reliving it this evening after seeing it in person.

All the best Stevie

[Dr Nowt]

He annoyed solelwhatever the fuck his name is, and I can not and will not ever forgive the cunt for that.

[Harry Squatter]

I only know he retired today as loads of Evertonians and Mancs have been going on.about him all day today.

[Arl arse]

Rumours that he will take a coaching role at the academy.

Only tells you how good he really was.  We don't go on and on about their best players, but they certainly do, especially about Gerrard.

 

For me, on reflecting back on his whole career, the thing that sticks out is how complete he was.  There might have been a few better goalscorers, or a few who covered more ground, or a few whose vision and technique was comparable, etc.

 

But I can't think of a single one, and that includes the absolute greats of the game, who put it all together the way Gerrard did.  There wasn't a single characteristic you'd want in your central midfielder that he didn't have, and have in abundance.

 

Legend.

The revolting piece of shite that is El Hadji Diouf has been at it again,,,

I despise him more than any other player that has ever worn the shirt. It was a fucking abomination he ever got to represent us . In a world of cunts he stands out from the crowd.

 

 

El Hadji Diouf again slammed former team-mate Steven Gerrard after the Liverpool great confirmed his retirement.

 

The 36-year-old Champions League and FA Cup winner announced on Thursday he was retiring from professional football.

Diouf, who spent two seasons at Liverpool and has criticised Gerrard previously, took aim at the former midfielder again.

"When I arrived, I showed him that he was nothing," he told SFR Sport. 

"I asked him, 'What great competition have you played and where do people remember you?

[Bob]

Watching the early parts of that just make me smile, and then ask why the fuck we persevered for so long with him taking corners instead of being in the box scoring from them?

You couldn't have put it better. Absolutely spot on.

One of my dads mate put it perfectly when he said along the lines of "I don't think we realised just how big a player he was until he slipped"

 

He's spot on.  To us he was Stevie.  Always there, always playing, mostly always boss.  The fact you had cretins from Stoke, and Southampton reveling in his slip shows what a HUGE player he was.  Envied and hated.

 

And the Bloos, oh the bloos, they hate him because he should've been theirs.  That young lad in his Everton kit they show off as often as they can could've been playing for Everton scoring screamers and winning trophies through force of will alone, but they let him go and the rest is history.  That's why they're so obsessed.  That's why they can tell you what he does on the weekend and where he goes and when his new house in Formby will be ready.  They hate him because they could've loved him like we did.

Anyone get bombarded by 'who was better out of Scholes and Gerrard' messages? No? My 'friends' are cunts.

That's why they're so obsessed. That's why they can tell you what he does on the weekend and where he goes and when his new house in Formby will be ready.

It really must fuck them off not getting Fowler,McManaman either.

I'ts almost as if  the phrase about Kopites being gobshites was created for him. ( El  Hadji Diouf- ,not Gerrard, by the way)

One horrible bastard with an  inflated opinion of his ability.

[Mathewbet1]

A world hero

I won't hear a bad word said against Sadio Mane's childhood hero.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Steven Gerrard was a world class, world renown footballer who won virtually everything.

 

El-Hadji Diouf made an assist.

 

El Debarge deffo fancies Stevie. He is a worse stalker than Rory McGrath. Rory was a better striker though.

[Tony Moanero]

El-Hadji Cunt.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

One of the best midfielders to grace the game. A true legend. Wish him all the luck in the World with whatever he decides to do. 

[Harry Squatter]

Gerrard was never an Evertonian and was never at Everton. His uncle took him to Goodison on their trophy room/tour and made him wear and Everton kit to wind his Dad up.

 

He mentions it in his autobiography. Evertonians are still weirdly obsessed with him and his Mrs. They were obsessed with Robbie Fowler too.

[Joe Strummer]

They never have or ever will, witness a player as great as Gerrard and be able to call him one of their own.
