Liverpool 2014/15 | WARNING: Contains strong amounts of Scouse nonsense

We all love to laugh at Gerrard but you have to admit he was a fantastic player and a great servant to Liverpool. I'd even say we are saying goodbye to a Premier League legend and I wish him the best in LA.

His little girls are adorable as well.
 
Surely he should have accepted a backup/rotation role.
@Bob Loblaw, do you know if he is going because his family wants to? I can't wrap my head around it actually being because Rodgers wanted him in a lesser role, it just seems so ego-driven if that is the case.

I dunno. I don't think him wanting to leave to be a guaranteed starter elsewhere is that selfish, plenty of players do it. I think it was for the best anyway, he's the best Liverpool player in my lifetime but Gerrard in his current state isn't that valuable to the team outside of set pieces.
 
I can't believe they're still 5th. Must say, for a team who depend on Lambert and Balloteli for goals, finishing fifth isn't too bad.

They're 5th for now, I don't see them beating Stoke next week. They could easily finish 6th and even 7th if City lose concentration against Southampton.

They want to avoid the Europa league, but knowing Brentan, he will prob f*cuk that up also.

I'm not interested in squabbles between other people - that's your own business and I'm not fit to referee - but I think you're a decent bloke and I'd like to think you know better than to paint everyone the same, even if it is a little more work occasionally.

As for the Echo? I don't read it. Never have. Isn't it managed from and printed in Manchester these days? But I would assume they used a picture of him getting sent off because it was a big deal and recent. Otherwise, I don't know.

Seriously, kudos for bringing this discussion back to some kind of decency. You're right, too. If we all refused to get involved in squabbles between others (assuming they're equals), not only football forums on the internet, but things in general would be a lot better. Fair enough and well said.
 
Why did Sky and the media not put as much effort into Giggs's last game? This Slippy G circus has been nothing short of disgusting.

I would think United's PR team would not allow such nonsense. It should always be about the club. Giggs was manager and just brought himself on for a few minutes at Hull last season. Scholes just went off quietly when all the focus was on Sir Alex.

He could still be very valuable as a rotation player so he can get proper rest.
I just thought he would be a one-club man. Just seems so wrong to leave for his twilight years and spoil that. It seems so wrong in my mind.

I agree in general that it isn't selfish to go, but I can't fathom why he'd want to be key in american instead of a valued character and keep his legacy as a one-club man at liverpool. :confused:

I don't think a decent club would allow such a farce. Having all of the current players wearing Gerrard shirts was a bit of a joke.

Thanks, they should be ok then fingers crossed, a couple of early qualifiers would also be nice but I guess that's just a bit greedy.

I can honestly see them drawing against stoke and Southampton pushing for the win against city to give the 6th. I really can see it. They don't deserve to be in Europe. Rather see villa take there place.
 
That was an embarrassment all round. Sky and Liverpool.

Rio, Vidic, Scholes, Giggs, Fergie all bowed out with less than quarter of the fuss.

Personally I want to see them there, rarely does anything good from EL qualification.

Yeah, it's laughable really. Ryan Giggs won the league more times than Gerrard have fingers, and he just retired with a prepared statement from the club. None of this shite

It's been said umpteen times over the past week

Giggs retired after he had played his final game. It wasn't known about and it's a real shame his retirement turned out that way

A man of class, as is Scholes. No need for a farewell tour.

Its going to be a right laugh if the dippers get Slippy back on loan when MLS is off season, the entire farewell tour will be a laughing stock.

Sorry but I don't know how getting a good send off like today lacks class

I would love to have seen scholes get similar

This is the view of a fan who's probably never seen his team win a league. Therefore doesn't know what it takes, the key points, the defining moments. Gerrard's slip cost you the title. No doubt about that.

There's no special ceremony for fans when their club wins the league. The ghosts of the 1888/89 Preston North End squad don't appear from under your bed to show you the hidden knowledge.
 
That was so masturbatory. From the guard of honour, to bringing his kids out with him, the speech and everything that went with it. Giggs was twice the player and we didn't see any of this shit.

Still, the steady regression in scale of his farewell party was a joy to behold. From a Wembley cup final on his birthday all the way down to a dicking at home to Palace. :lol: Like his own little boom and bust cycle. Fitting.
