And we have the second most expensive backline in the world behind PSG.
To be fair to Gerrard, on his day he was a brilliant player. He's been a great servant to Liverpool, and was an integral part of their title challenging team in the mid 2000s (approximately, I think).
That's a few years ago though, so for Liverpool it's good that he steps down.
Stevie Me has completely taken over the news today. Not a mention of our superb victory. I'm sure Brenton was purposely behind the leak.

A great servant to the game, he rose to the biggest occasions. One of the best the league has seen, scorer of fantastic goals and an exciting player who often played on the edge. That last minute goal against West ham, the thrilling Istanbul comeback, the victories over United, all golden memories.
So I salute you Steven Gerrard for the player you were, for your commitment to the game and the club you love, but most of all, most of all as the song goes for slipping on your fecking **** and passing the ball to Demba Ba and throwing away your chance to win a league medal. And it is fitting that you struggled up that mountain for 17 years and when the summit was finally in sight you fecking starfished it and tumbled down with nothing but the memory of Demba Ba's **** in your face.
Its obvious that Brenton wants him out as Gerrard has power and respect in the dressing room that he can only dream of. Im suprised at the timing considering Brentons job is hardly safe as houses at the moment. He could easily get the boot and the new manager could still want Gerrard in his plans. It would'nt suprise me if Gerrard is still there next season (under a new manager).
Very annoying, I turned SSN off pretty rapidly.

read this thread for far better Stevie Me coverage, some of the stuff in there is hilarious
:ross:
Interesting that you say, though I would have said the opposite considering how much Brenton has licked his ringpeice over the last two years. I think the timing is more to do with stopping the media circus in its tracks so that they can concentrate on finishing 7th
That's hilarious!
Perhaps Rodgers finally manned up and told Gerrard that he would have to become a squad player and be used more like Lampard is at City. Deciding that this would not fit very well with his image Gerrard decided to try for a Captain America impersonation before his career ends.
Greatest Liverpool midfielder ever according to motd! I'm sure Hansen and twunty would have something to say about that if they were still on.
