I think the fac(h)t that people can't tell the difference between real & fake quotes says everything about how comical Liverpool & everything associated with them has become.
Steven Gerrard Autobiography | Extracts
- Thread starter .Rossi
- Start date
Have to feel for the Liverpool fans on this one - no one wants a club legend coming out with stuff like this. I don't get exactly what for either. Is it really worth tarnishing your own reputation for a few royalty checks? Some really bizarre quotes.
Maybe it's a good job he hasn't had much cause to do that. Given it plenty of time to heal.
Incredibly unprofessional from Gerrard. I'd be disgusted with him if I were a Liverpool fan.
He's also deluded like a true RAWKite - on Herrera: "I was too quick for him"
He could have broken his leg and has no regret about it, just the fact he got sent off. He still hasn't apologised. Disgusting little man.
Just confirmed what i always thought about him, the tough guy image was all an act deep down he's an over emotional softie with no cojones.
Holy shit, I am so tempted to buy this book.What a fecking crybaby, this that blah blah I cried.....blah blah I cried. I cried, cried, cried
Did he say that he tapped up players for Liverpool ? Says a lot about his 'brand' if players he tapped up like Willian and kroos didn't care about playing him.
Could someone who has the e-book give me a copy?
Half of these quotes are so lacking in self-awareness I'm not sure if they're real or not.
He sounds like a fecking online predator ffs
It depends on what you define with 'top' player. Obviously, they aren't on Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi, Zidane level, but nevertheless they were top players Actually, both Gerrard and Lampard were in top 3 of Ballon D'Or once.
You can extend the same 'harsh' judgement to the likes of Scholes and Giggs. They didn't make anything noteworthy on World Cups (to be fair to Giggs, he wasn't even there) and unlike Gerrard/Lampard they weren't near the Ballon D'Or (Scholes never was in the list of 23 players, while I am not sure about Giggs). However, anyone in their right mind, would call them absolutely top players. And they were.
I think that saying that a player is a second tier player just cause they didn't do much in World Cup and didn't won a Ballon D'Or is unfair. I think that all of Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney (and Scholes and Giggs) were absolutely world class players and would have looked brilliant in any team.
This is brilliant. It will probably start 'The RAWK civil war'.On the facts press conference:
In hindsight, it looks like a mistake to let Steve Bruce ghost write the book.
What he says is mostly true and the ridiculous style of writing probably has little to do with him.
I had to laugh at the Kroos thing though. How awkward would that have been for both of them.

. How awkward would that have been for both of them.Hmmz - I wonder why Suarez and Sturridge didn't get along
The magic Suarez sprinkled over him that night? Well, well, well...
The actual inter-personal stuff is probably true yeah, but he seems really arrogant and presumptuous for the stuff about prospective transfer stories.What he says is mostly true and the ridiculous style of writing probably has little to do with him.
I had to laugh at the Kroos thing though
Like the cringey 'cat and mouse' stuff. And how did he 'know' Real were in for Kroos at the time?
It is oddly like Brucie's bizarre short novels. The book must be at the very least inspired by his writing style.Heh, it's all taking shape, he was up in bed reading Brendan's text with a smile on his face...and now having magic sprinkled over him from Suarez.
It goes from fluffy bubble gum teen crush to depraved filth in a matter of chapters.
This book is taking shape to be a must read.
Have to say, I actually missed having the bloke around on Saturday... I feel dirty now.

I've had a look at the AFC Wimbledon-LFC reports - and Stevie plays the full 90mins and scores twice.
How does that happen with his knob allegedly ripped asunder?
(Guardian minute by minute there's no mention of injury to our hero whatsoever)

I am sure Colin Murray on Talksport said it was against Bournemouth.
It was only a very small injury so they provably didn't pick up on it.
I sort of agree tbh - just about the only thing that could've made the Martial goal better would've been in the aftermath having a camera focus in on Gerrard's reaction to it; that really would've improved on perfection
OK Bournemouth, . Now this is more interesting, if I've now got the right match, which seems unlikely, tbf. SG still played the full 90 as LFC cruised to a 2-0 win, with their fans having to leave Merseyside at 5 am, .
White shorts in this one, too. I shall continue the research.

You might have to hack into Liverpool's medical records.OK Bournemouth,

3 is real
I feel that the first 2 are possible but I did have to make them up
What happened to his cock?
I've got to buy this book
Here we are on one of the biggest United boards in the world and people want to buy Gerrard's book. Not saying that is a bad thing - on the contrary, it just shows that maybe Stevie G is an actual genius in terms of his marketing and making money.
His tackle exploded during a tackle.
Who said anything about paying for it?
Let's face it, the dippers won't.I dont think I want to spend money and buy the book. if someone has a link for a free ebook, I don't mind reading as I have some free time in November.
SAF telling the United players (speaking about Rafa after the fachts presser) "I've got him. I've got him" FFS.
FFS.SG: Hey Toni, I hear we are interested in signing you. Would you like to join me at my ancient battle ground and win the morality shield?
SG: BTW I thought it best to text, don't want to cold call you, as you might be busy.
SG: I'm not stupid for doing so?
SG: Thanks a million.
TK: I'm signing for Real. Have fun.

SG:
Reading some of his twaddle you'd think all he's doing in his life is crying like a fecking pussy he is (Macheda's goal, 'I've fallen over' moment) and being uneducated pleb from Scouseland (2017 here we come).
enjoyed reading some of the quotes. Thought it is hard to distinguish between the real and fake ones at times.The transfer stuff is so weird. I would be uncomfortable messaging Toni Kross. Obviously he was never, ever going to go to Liverpool.
I honestly have no idea which quotes are fake and which ones are real. Must be a cracking read.
They can't be real, I mean surely they can't be real?
Regarding this. I watched Diouf in the AFCON final that year and was the only bright spark in a dull final. He then had a very good World Cup and was Senegals main outlet. Surely it wasn't just a signed based on the sole recommendation of someone?

my favourite one. I can actually picture it.
