Things I Like About Steven Gerrard

Therefore Gerrard is a one club man.No. They're all acting like LA Galaxy isnt another club or like he's retiring. Will we see all this pathetic stuff again when he will retire I wonder..
Probably.
I thought I was clearly being sarcastic
Huh?
I like the fact he will be gone soon.
Isn't he leaving because his manager said he was looking to reduce his playing time? No eliminate, but conserve? Imagine if Ryan Giggs stormed off to America in 2006.
Nothing. He's a cnut.
A few stats.

I hate the way that everything has to be about him. He is one of those who seems to love being the centre of attention.
I think he might qualify on a technicality. If we accept that MLS is a single-entity business, and therefore the teams are franchises of that business, then they are not football "clubs" in the traditional sense. His contract is not with LA Galaxy but with MLS.
This would allow the Gerrard-Industrial-Complex to continue manufacturing the myth... who is to say that Gerrad didn't choose to play in MLS for this exact reason?
I adore his trophy cabinet
spotless!
spotless!
respect for staying with one club in europe.
I respect the loyalty he's shown Liverpool, particularly during his peak years. And I thought that CL win was very impressive, I was stunned watching it.
He's the same age as me so his career has basically moved alongside my adult life.
I guess I would echo Jose Mourinho's comments about Gerrard being a 'great rival'.

I like that him leaving is basically ripping the scouse heart out of that Liverpool team.
Boyish hairline
Jesuus! This fact is treated as if it's a rarity - its not! Its pretty common.
At United we had several players who also stayed with one club: Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes to name some.
jessuus! they were part of multiple title winning squads.
respecting gerrard for that doesnt means it lowers the value of other one club players.

On the flip side, it is easy to stay when winning. Giggs especially had many opportunities to leave but was never tempted away.
I still think Gerrard will sometimes regret the 180 he did over the Chelsea offer
I liked the fact that we knew before the season started that there was automatically one team that wasn't going to win the league.
Now that he won't be on the squad I feel like we can't write them off before the season starts.

Well, back then there weren't as many money leagues as there are now. Beckham was groundbreaking for MLS, and Giggs wasn't quite as renowed as him (in a marketing perspective). Nowadays there's also the arab leagues, and even leagues like Australia, China and Japan have started signing former stars.
Has it flown over your head that 26 years at one club is something to be admired about?
I don't think anyone is calling him one man club (are they). more of respect for staying at Liverpool for so long.
I like his house. It's quite modest. What you'd expect from a down to earth lad like him.
There is something new to observe every time. The 2nd from top right, next to the baldy. His expressions dont change one bit. Tough cookie. The ginger guy bottom far left is great too. Looking in totally different direction and with expressions of a kindergarten student in advance maths class.Actually the best thing Stevie G. and his brave bunch brought to us by far:
(No thread should ever go without this. We should make this a sticky, it just never gets old and if I'm feeling sad it's the best thing to get me going again)
Who can forget that he's a one-club man, and that club is the Lounge Inn, Southport.
It is a pretty simple concept that everyone views it as a last retirement paycheck, moving to a league in a country where football's not really mainstream, and well after he is past his peak.
Hardly nonsense.
Yea, this thread is full of 15 year olds.
Gerrard is all ego.
Basically, he's leaving because Brendan has the cheek to want to manage his playing time so that he has an impact and doesn't burn out and become a passenger during games. Based on this season he's 100% right to do it and every other player Gerrard's age gets the same treatment, it's called good management.
However, Gerrard's ego is so colossal that he refuses to accept that he isn't the integral cog in the liverpool team he once was, it's a physical adaptation which every player who wishes to stay at the top level in this league must make. But not Gerrard! So instead of accepting he's human he's decided he'll leave and play in a championship standard league where his ego can be messaged until retirement and he can be the main man once again.
They formed that ridiculous guard of honour and handed him an actual fecking trophy, yes he got a golden trophy from liverpool comprised of his shirt number (8). It was so amazingly farcical I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I guess they thought he should have some kind of prize in his final season, so they created one.
The worst thing was you could see it in his face, there was no surprise or embarrassment, he expects this kind of treatment and he revels in it. Steven Gerrard the super-ego. It's no wonder he and Brendan have to go their separate ways.

Where is the trophy room?
He is one of the greats.
Mr. Tough Cookie looks creepy as hell
Things I like about Gerrard:
Yea, they have been, a lot, hence my mentioning it. But well done on making an argument when you actually don't know what you're talking about.
It's nonsense if you actually understand what the term means.
I do agree and that there didn't seem to be a moment they hadn't pre planned and talked through with him. As a player, he passed the point of needing leaving out a while back. Shouldn't have been playing this season at all really. Almost a passenger in some games. I think he must know this but didn't want to go quietly did he?
One club man means spending his entire career at one club. Any other definition is incorrect. End of fecking story
Can't be that simple?!
