If that was Rafa Benitez who had taken Gerrard off with them needing a goal he would have got savaged.
Jose and Gerrard sound a bit obsessed with each other.
Ffs, how could people still worry about finishing fourth and then expect us to go through the CL qualifiers? If we're hammered at fecking Hull then we better not turn up against Valencia, Roma or any other feckers for that matter.
He was asked about how good the "standing ovation" from the Chelsea fans was - he pointed-out that they were slaughtering him all game but for those two seconds, said it was nice of them to turn-up for once, and that he was more bothered by the response of the Liverpool fans.
He then called on the owners to spend even more money for Liverpool, called Jose the best manager in the world and said it was him that had made him want to leave Liverpool when he put in the transfer request.
5 years back maybe
Honestly seems like Mou spoke to him quite a bit about making the move from Liverpool. Probably a lot of tapping up went on there.
QPR literally get relegated every other season. Somehow they make their way back up each time despite being incredibly shit.
You could be forgiven for thinking Gerrard had died.
And Mourinho was his mother.
Have to say I'm glad Gerrard basically gave Chelsea fans two middle-fingers. The whole WEREN'T THE AWESUM CHELSEA FANS AWESUM STEVIE thing was cringeworthy.
I would rather go through by points, than having them being all woe is me regards selling Suarez and Sturridge being out injured.
If they do get ffp points deducted they might not this time.
Funny of Stevie G to mention our fans. I often heard "is this a library?" chants from away fans at Anfield this season.
Even RAWK has been complaining about their shit home support this year.

So did the Chelsea fans actually sing the 'proper' Gerrard song or was it the slipped on his arse version? Commentator on my stream was waffling on about what a nice gesture it was but I could've sworn I heard 'slipped on his arse'.
Souness advocating having more older players in the squad - wasn't that his problem when he was manager there?
Personally think they'll get relegated if they get a points deduction. Will start a chain of events.
Rodgers just admitted he subbed Gerrard so he "could receive the acclaim of the fans". Not sure I'd be too pleased with that if I was a Liverpool fan when a win would have kept CL hopes alive.
Saw this on RAWK. Did Brenton really say this?
I suppose if the latest theories in cosmology are correct, and there's an infinite number of Universes, in one of them Liverpool will overtake us for 4th. But it's not very likely in this Universe.
yeah.. QPR may decide to lose by a dozen....
Saw this on RAWK. Did Brenton really say this?
"Steven has worked brilliantly and it was more just to give him the acclaim on what will probably be the last time he played at Stamford Bridge"
Embarrassing, apparently he said "We'll fight until it's impossible." when asked about missing out on Top 4 when interviewed for one of the foreign channels.
Its like he's just trying to get sacked and get his huge pay out.
They should change the laws on that by the way, why should managers get millions for doing a shit job?
What a stupid thing to say. Rodgers really doesn't help himself.
City have definitely offered him a new contract and almost certainly with an improvement on his current wage, it won't be lower anyway. It seems that he just wants to be at a club where he knows he will play every game. I can understand that but at the same time he starts regularly for City and more often than not in the big games as well.
Wait..there are some who think we could still loose 4th place?
Wait what? Aren't you a United fan?
Yup. Its astonishing really.Never underestimate the pessimism of the caf.
Read his tagline
I haven't said I expect us to go through the qualifiers?
I do though and I actually expect us to beat Arsenal next week. Was just pointing out that +14 is not an insurmountable difference.
Also expect us to have a much better team come August. Not only will we have added real quality in some key areas, but our key internationals and late arrivals from last year will have benefited from a full pre-season with a Louis Van Gaal who now knows exactly what he's dealing with.
I expect us to be competitive in the league and in Europe (semi-final maybe) next year.
What's special about his last time playing at Stamford Bridge?Real, Barca, Bayern, Juve, PSG, Chelsea are light years ahead of us. There are half a dozen others who would still be favourites against us on current form.
Summer signings are still an unknown obviously, but you seem to provide a good argument here as for why they shouldn't be expected to hit the ground running.
Agree with you on Real, Barca and Bayern but I don't think we're as far behind the other 3 as you do.
The margins at the top are tight and we all saw the difference 2 signings made to what seemed a fairly average Chelsea side.
I reckon we've only seen very fleeting glimpses of the squad being entirely comfortable with Van Gaal's systems so far and I'm looking forward to seeing a much more cohesive United next season. My main worry is that we lack enough players of real footballing intelligence to really excel with this style.
Chelsea have a solid defence. Ours is a shambles, and the thing is that with the back four you need time whereas we need at the very least a first choice CB and RB. That before the issue of not knowing who our GK is gonna be come August.
We absolutely need a CM.
Going forward we offer nothing. This needs to be addressed too. RVN could well be past it, and Falcao is a joke. I hope Rooney is back scoring when he's not being fecked in midfield, and Wilson is still a young boy.
We're clearly behind Chelsea, as a 20 points gap indicates.
Only now?!
Not disagreeing with you at all. We have been every bit of the 16 points worse than Chelsea this season.
I just have confidence that we will be a hell of a lot closer next year. I don't see them being as unreachable next year as Barca or Bayern.
We will add top quality to our defence and the back of our midfield because we have to. Van Gaals whole philosophy relies on solid, intelligent, ball players at the back which we are sorely lacking. Depay will add pace, width and goals and Di Maria has to much ability not to come good eventually.
I'm with you hoping. This is what following football is all about.
