Stan Collymore: Why Steven Gerrard must quit Liverpool FC

[Redshadow]

Ignore him - He's pissed off that Liverpool never Accomodated HIM when he was here and if you don't believe me then listen to ANY interview he ever does on the radio; I guarandamntee that he will mention that we NEVER used to play HIS favourite formation/method of getting the ball that he used to use at Nottingham Forest and thus we Never saw him at his best because of that; Sod the Fact HE should have changed for us - to much work for the useless b*stard.

 

Carraislegened - 'Rebuild the team' with Gerrard money you say? Don't make me laugh - ANY money from selling Gerrard (which the owners will NEVER do as him or Torres going WOULD start WWIII) would go straight into paying off their debts.....Just like half the Alonso fee. Oh, and Torres moving WAS different - He'd Outgrown Athletico after being there for what was it? SIX years or so - It was like Rooney outgrowing Everton and moving to a bigger stage - Always going to happen and although trophies were given as the reason; They had little to do with the outcome, Torres would always have left La Calderon in the end. Torres going to Madrid or Barcelona or Valencia to win trophies? Now THAT would be like Gerrard going to Chelsea - Which incidentally will NOT happen.

 

As to our team - yes, we have some mediocre reserve players but we're a world away from the sad excuse for a side where half the First Team couldn't even hold the ball that Rafa' inherited, our main problem now is our reserves and our First Team damn near won the league last season using our current system - Once Aquilani's fitted into said system - watch us leave the likes of Spurs, City et al in our vapour trails and the media turn their guns on Mark Hughes. Grow a pair and support Rafa' is what most of us need to do - He knows what he's doing but circumstances have currently conspired against him - That will change soon enough and when it does, he'll be ready for it...........................

[Flying Pig]

When Gerrard decided that moving to Chelsea was not a good idea, based on the fact that nobody in his family/friends would be interested in a seeing a medal won for another team. Same rules apply.

[William_Ulsterman]

he's had to drag along shite for too much of his career.

 

to be fair anyone of Gerrard's quality will be dragging along the shite for most of their career.

 

In a funny way i think the vain bastard Collymore sees Gerrard as what he could have been at liverpool and thats why hes so fucking bitter. In the current situation what would Stan do if he was in Gerrards shoes? off course he would fuck his club over for a probable chance at the PL, but then there are only two teams really, the scum or the chavs. Theres no way he would leave for either of those now.

 

We all know he won't go, he's got principles.

[Dirty Parry]

everyone knows deep down stevie wont win the title here. not with rafa in charge anyways.

[Kopite]

I hear Ike Turner (Derek Acorah, where art thou?) & Chris Brown are about to give their opinion on Steven Gerrard's future at Liverpool very shortly.

[goatboy59]

You sound like some bitter everton fan there. Don't laugh? Its comming home my dear friend.

In my experience it's always been the fans of achieving clubs who have been less than enamoured with the fortunes of England.

 

So, not really 'Everton' at all!

 

I remember when Des Lynam said in 1993 the title's coming home.

 

I laughed at the time.........

[Hooch]

Defo some truth in what he says, but I like to think on the flip side if we were to sack Benitez and bring a top manager* in he'd have a new belief and motivation to stay with us.

 

*I'm thinking Mourinho.

Stan Collymore: Why any sane person who meets me should immediately beat me to death with a brick

[Malarkey]

[tenner]

He's a scummy twat, is Stan.

 

I agree let collymore fuck off

[jamespp]

not a bitter ex-Red who beats up women and was a miserable failure during his time here. So fuck off.

 

Thats a misconception, he was actually quite good here playing wise

[Whelan]

 

Stan "shut it, I'm warning you, shut your mouth"

 

Ulrika "Or what, you'll punch the shite out of me in this pub, in front of all these peo"

[col06]

Thats a misconception, he was actually quite good here playing wise

 

he was decent but he was one of the "spice boys" which says it all really

[Mr Piechnik]

Another thread with the words 'Stan Collymore' in it gos past 4 pages *shakes head*

[WaltonRed]

Fucking jebend brummie twat.

[HurdyGurdyMan]

Funny how I recollect the years of the late 80's-early 90's & no fucker ever told Bryan Robson to Leave the Manc's for the same reasons. Gerrard has had more success with us than Captain Elastoplastic ever did with them twats.

 

PS Robson finally won a title medal aged 36 as a 'squad player'....Good things come to those that wait!

 

PPS Shearer never won a thing for the Toon but he will be loved forever up there because he stayed with his 'hometown team'. David May has a title medal, remember him?!

Won 6 league title medals, a few FA cups and a European cup at didn't he, basically United's 2nd most decorated player after Giggs, played about 6 games in a United career spanning about over 12 years.

Got another league title medal at Blackburn as well using the same method, before getting his move then went and got some games at at club of his level, Bacup Town.

[Vincent Vega]

Hasn't Lawrenson come out with the same shite in the past?

 

I was also gonna make the Bryan Robson point about nobody ever banged on about how he should leave that HurdyGurdyMan just made in that it looked he was never gonna win it before ending up getting a medal as a bit part player at the age of 36.

 

Billy Liddell was my dad's boyhood hero; one league title and one FA Cup runners up spot were the some total of his medals. It's not just the medals won that fans remember, it seems to be like many peoples approach to life in general these days that you have to have everything to ever feel complete. Well that doesn't apply to me and most other people I know who are based in planet reality, and I don't think Gerrard's contributions to our club would be looked down upon by any fan if he never managed to win a PL title. Phil Neal won eight titles, but only an idiot would argue he was a better player and bigger legend that Steve Gerrard, the lad should realise that, end his career with us and do all he can to increase his medal haul before hanging up his boots for good.

Steven Gerrard: I'm desperate to win league title with Liverpool before I retire

 

Steven Gerrard has revealed the depth of his frustration at Liverpool's botched title bid.

 

The Liverpool skipper began the season with high hopes that he would finally get his hands on the one trophy he craves most and which has eluded him during his glittering career.

 

But the Reds' challenge was over almost as soon as it had begun and they are languishing in seventh - 12 points behind leaders Chelsea.

 

Instead of fighting the Blues and Manchester United for the Premier League, Liverpool are battling Tottenham, Manchester City and Aston Villa for a Champions League place and Gerrard cannot hide his title hurt.

 

"It's frustrating to be where we are in the league now because this was meant to be the year where we were going to be right up there all the way through," he said.

 

"It would mean everything to win it. It's frustrating not to have it already and I've come close on a couple of occasions.

 

"I will continue to fight for the Premier League from now until I stop playing. Hopefully I can add it to my collection because it would round a fantastic career off.

 

"It would be extra special if I could do it as captain in the next couple of years. I'm not sure how long I'm going to be captain for - probably another two or three years. If not as captain, then hopefully I can still lift it as a Liverpool player.

 

"Now, though, it's important for us to try to get back up to the top of the table."

 

Gerrard is 30 in May and he knows the clock is ticking on his title dream.

The midfield ace, who made his 500th appearance for the club at Blackburn, admits he has five seasons left at most and is determined to do all he can to bring the title back to Anfield for the first time since 1990.

 

"I've been around for 11 years and I'm getting towards the 30 years of age mark now, so I'm running out of time," said the England ace. "I want to make the most of the next four or five years.

 

"I've still got many more ambitions and dreams that I want to fulfil before I finish."

 

Gerrard's place in Liverpool's Hall of Fame was assured long ago because of his heroics in Istanbul and Cardiff, but he insists he cannot be called a legend.

 

He feels that term is bestowed too lightly and classes the likes of Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush as true greats.

 

"I don't think I'm a Liverpool legend," he said. "You can only call players legends when they've finished and you look back on their careers and they have been successful or a top player throughout.

 

"A lot of people give the legendary status out too early for my liking. I don't see myself as a legend - I see the likes of Dalglish, Hansen and Rush as legends.

 

"They have been there and done it. Hopefully one day I can look back on what I've achieved and can say I'm a part of the legends at this club, but I certainly wouldn't put myself in that bracket now."
