Liverpool v Crystal Palace

[Red]

As it was for Ryan Giggs.

The worrying thing is I think you made that.

Just pointing out how most of the people here slating Gerrard are hypocrites, especially United and Chelsea fans.

They have a coach and a captain who are both despicable and disgrace to football, yet have no problem supporting them. By the reaction I see here about Gerrard, I would have thought you lot would chase them out of your respective clubs.

Just trying to balance things out here. I don't have to be a Liverpool fan to say Gerrard is a living Legend. Not only Liverpool football club, but all the clubs in the PL should have done some sort of tribute to him. The only other English player that comes close to putting England on the map on international level is David Beckham.

Youngsters like Shaw, Smalling, Sterling, Clyne, Ibe, Barkley, Kane, Wilshere, Stones, Ings, Austin will never reach the standard that Gerrard has at club level. Sadly, I fear for English players' future in PL.

There's no need for a lot of things; biased crap from jugheads for instance. The bloke was a good player, but insulting our commendation was beyond forgiveness, and the jughead in question knows it, but refuses to see it.

I don't support Liverpool or Chelsea, but Gerrard's comments were very true. If the oppo fans took the mick out of you for the whole game, but then gave you a standing ovation when you came off, you probably wouldn't be happy, would you?

And you are saying Gerrard gave biased crap. I'm actually laughing.

 

[Whitechapel]

Chasing a game, Rodgers brings on Lambert and Lucas???

Not Gerrard, you, you prat.

And read the entry; SOME of tbe 40 odd thousand taunted him - but that's football crowds for you - he should be big enough to take a few jibes about going over on his arse and costing his team the title. He got genuine heartfelt applause from a great many people at the end of the game, but sulked like a schoolboy.

Try reading what's posted you dork.

Once again, total disregard to what has actually been transcribed; no-one has doubted his ability as a player; it's the over-hyped crap (to which you have just contributed) which get's on people's tits.

My own personal opinion is simply that his recent attitude, which sucks, has coloured my view of him as a person, not his ability to play football.

Just him and Beckham eh? You need to watch more football sonny.

Chelsea fans have been taunting Gerrard for years now. Presumably because he didn't end up joining you.

You make it sound like it was only a handful who were chanting at him at Stamford Bridge which we both know it incorrect. If you want, just look at it as banter from the fans, and then Gerrard had a bit of banter to give back after 90 minutes of ridicule. Even so, it must've worked as it's got to you probably a bit too much. He took the jibes for 3 previous games this season against Chelsea, so why not give some back on his final game. It seems like you're the one who's happy to give it but then not big enough to take it back. It'd be like me slagging you off over a few beers in the pub then shaking your hand just as you leave then me expecting you to sing my praises. Get real. He didn't have to say anything about the Chelsea fans, but he was asked the question and he's hardly going to big you up is he?

I do think the build up hype was a bit too much but that's the way the media are now, and Gerrard is one of those types of players who only comes around few and far between. It's happened with other players and for Alex Ferguson, and at the time is was too much, but even I for one now think that his career warranted a good send off, as did Gerrard's.

No one can deny he's had a great career and has probably been one of the most pivotal players for any club ever in achieving success, but give it a few days or weeks and people will forget about the build up to this.

Anybody would think that Gerrard was the only player who got any stick from Chelsea fans, and a for us not signing him, it's not like we've needed him is it? I think Liverpool fans are delusional over that issue from going back ten years or so - doesn't enter people's heads unless broached by Liverpool fans.

Difference is Mr Liverpool fan, Gerrard is a professional being paid buckets of money every week and presumably hoping to find his way back into the game in this country as a coach or media representative, not just somebody on the terraces having a crack.

This isn't two people in a pub, so you analogy is not a good one. He should have had the balls to acknowledge the praise offered him when the final whistle went. He did not.

Within a few days, everyone will have forgotten about Gerrard too; a good player, but he joined a side who habitually won league titles, and in seventeen years with him in the team, they rarely came close to acheiving that goal.

Hope he cheers up.

'Good player' Come on mate he was better than a good player.

Do you hate Terry as much? What "attitude" of him do you find so hateful?

 

[Red]

Terry was outstanding this season and made a big contribution to Chelsea winning the title. His racist behaviour is probably immaterial to some Chelsea fans, some of whom probably view that as being a bonus.

 

[Pickleman1967]

Yep, I think Gerrard has been a top player in the PL over the years, a shame that he never brought the same "never say die" attitude to his England career though. Well done Palace for pissing on his parade, very funny.

A sweeping statement from someone who is unaware of my racial origins and those of many Chelsea fans.

A blatant and poor attempt at a wind-up.

John Terry was found not guilty of his alleged racism by the Metropolitan Police, as you will be aware. He has come in for a monumental amount of stick from fans of lesser clubs, the boos and jeers clearly audible. Glad you brought tbe subject up; I didn't see Gerrard receive anything like that level of abuse from any quarter at any time during during his career, yet he whinges like a child at people reminding him that he fell over last year.

The comparison between the character of the two is a good one; puts the whinging scouser's whining into perspective.

Not 'hateful'- that's your statement, I just think he's a miserable c***t.

What has your or the racial origins of Chelsea fans have to do with the fact Terry called Anton Ferdinand the N word? If you've seen the video and are saying he didn't say that then you're in serious denial. It wasn't a sweeping statement either, I didn't say all Chelsea fans or even most did I? I said some. Not a wind up mate, just telling it like it is.

 

[The One]

Obviously i despise him, but he's been a great player for Liverpool.

Nothing wrong with him getting a nice send off.

You made the 'racist' statement, not me. What the f**k has that got to do with Gerrard's unprofessional attitude to fans?

I was asking you what your race and the race of Chelsea fans has to do with Terry calling Ferdinand the N word. If you don't want to answer that just say so.

 

[G-Dragon]

I suppose Chelsea fans are well known for their good attitude towards Gerrard, or any other group of people (hint: CL away game).

Keep asking twat. You appear to have lost the thread. This was about Gerrards attitude to the public, not John Terry's spat with another player; are you a complete c**t or what?

We're known for all sorts of things pal, some of our players have reputations too, but none of them have their heads up their own arse like Gerrard.

Just noticed that the word brilliant in that emot is missing a letter i. Anyway, well done on exposing yourself as someone who's easy when it comes to the old .

If you've ended up posting about twenty times in a thread, then you don't know what is Red.

 

[Red]

Clearly not understanding the concept of ongoing discussion on a forum Dessie. Take a look, there's lots of threads with ongoing discussions where people contribute over 20 posts. I wasn't trying to wind him up anyway, but for anyone who does he's clearly shown he's there for the taking.

 

[allouso]

Love Gerrard, going to miss him dearly but it was the correct time to move on. Love how the fans reacted to him, both the Liverpool fans and the classy Palace bunch who stayed. The reactions from players like Maldini, Nesta, Pirlo, Beckham, Maxi Rodriguez and the likes should tell you just how much he was respected on the pitch. (Cannavaro's doesn't count...)

I think hating players is the biggest compliment you can give them. Gerrard has had a career most players would dream of, captained his boyhood club and was MOTM in the greatest European cup final ever, he's one of the most recognized faces in world football and he's about to move to LA along with his beautiful family and a multi-million dollar contract. Enjoy your internet trolling.
