Why are Chelsea fans so obsessed with Gerrard and his slip?

Featured Replies

pass back to goalkeeper...gudjohnson latches on to it and scores..99/00 i think it was

last years world cup...against Uruguay.

 

Ahhh yess, that was when Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka got all the blame due to Gerrard being unable to head the ball f**king forward. 

 

Clive Tildsley said in the game after that England are at the bottom of the group due to huge errors from Cahill and Jagielka, I don't know he f**king dare. 

Bullsh*t.  He never was a great player, apart for Chelsea no-one else made an approach for him.  Vitriol is how I felt after Fowler opened his arse cheeks in front of Le Saux, grow some balls for f**ks sake,

 

Jose - I tried to bring him to Chelsea, I tried to bring him to Inter, I tried to bring him to Real Madrid but he was always with the enemy. I want to honour him and I hope Stamford Bridge has the same feeling.

 

Zidane - “I have said in the past that at his peak he was the best in the world,’ 

“I think it was the summer of 2004 I was having a conversation with Florentino (Perez) and I told him I wanted him to partner me in midfield for Madrid.

“I know the club tried twice but he wouldn’t leave Liverpool. Not many players turn down Real Madrid but I think that tells you a lot about the loyalty of the man.”

 

Pirlo- 'Carlo (Ancelotti) was like a father to me. We used to, and still do speak a lot,' Pirlo said. 'While at Milan he came to me and said "I want to sign Steven Gerrard to play next to you in midfield - what do you think?"

'Without any hesitation I told him "do it - go and sign him". At this stage he was probably the most complete midfield player in Europe, of course I wanted to partner him.'

'I remember asking Carlo a few weeks later how it was going, and he told me Gerrard had given a very firm no, that his bond with Liverpool was unbreakable.

'At the time Milan were the champions of Europe and probably had the best team in the world - it says a lot about Gerrard's loyalty.'

This is the only drawback of winning the league so early. We've got too much time to discuss this twat and his sh*te club.

 

WE WON THE LEAGUEEEEEEEEE! 

 

Give us that trophy already.

Enjoy the parade on TV big man. Or don't. You might see actual Chelsea supporters crying. On ignore with you. Bye

Oh here we go, I'm a better fan than you, I go to games, I live in London, blah de f**king blah.

Give over.

Gerra

 

I hate a great deal of many players but it never changes my opinion of them.

 

Gerrard is and always has been overrated, not saying he wasn't a good player because he was but he has always been put in the same bracket as the likes of Xavi and Scholes when he has been nowhere near those. He is the most overrated technical player you'll find, he never even matched the same intelligence on the pitch to be shared in that bracket. 

 

Also Lampard is and always has been better. 

 

All Gerrard was,was a talented robbie savage

mediocre player at a primitive club that was last seen nearly 30 years ago who just so happen have the most disgusting and filthy fan base in the country

 

plus it was one of the funniest things ive ever seen

How about I understand that grown men get emotional over football which was my point?

I enjoyed the Gerrard song but was also happy to applaud him when he was substituted. That was one of the highlights of the PL this year - Chelsea fans showing their class and appreciation (of all those mistakes!).

Good player - that's all. Untied fans would argue Scholes was a better player, I would agree with them. We would argue Lampard is better, I would agree wiith us. 

 

Personally think that Alonso was a much more effective player for liverpool that Gerrard.  He's a great athlete. And has a decent skill set but f**k me how often is that man out of position. How often is he buying in to his own hype trying to hit the hollywood ball time and time again even if it's not on. If gerrard had moved to united as a youngster when fergi was interested he would have been a far better player because he would have learn't about playing as part of a team, playing your role within that team.  

 

I'd have also prefered Kean, or Patrik Viera in my center mid if pushed, although appricate that both are more defensive minded. I think in general he is probably rated about 20% better then he actually is because he plays for liverpool

Hmm - it's pretty well knowen fact that Carlo didn't get involved in milan transfer dealings at all. Also United fans say that statement is about Scholes

That Pirlo quote is bollocks.

He said nothing about Gerrard, he did say though..'The only great England midfielder during my career was Scholes, He had elegance in him, the others were pretenders'

Well, I don't really care what Pirlo said or didn't say about him, just that Milan tried to sign him. And unless all these quotes are made up, they did.

 

'He's one of the players I would have loved to coach,' Ancelotti told The Sun.
'And I thought about him so many times in the past when I was at Milan.
'But it was impossible because he was very much linked with Liverpool. We had sounded him out but Gerrard's bond with Liverpool was unbreakable.
'I don't remember exactly what year it was but we did try. Of course, I wanted to pair him up with Pirlo, it was a fantastic combination.
'Putting Gerrard in midfield with Pirlo. It would have been fantastic.'

So you're not going to address Jose's comments about him? Or Zidanes?

Seen this mentioned before. I apologise for not responding to every point but I do try. If I've got 83 notifications though I may miss the odd one.

Getting back to the point, Jose's comments do carry a lot of weight and I think the majority of criticism of Gerrard is based on tribalism. The thing is that most football fans seem to be able to put the tribalism to one side and at least recognise the players talent.

I've not said he's not a decent player, but the reaction to him retiring is beyond all proportion!

 

We shall see how Sky/BBC handle it when JT retires, but I won't be holding my breath.

At the height of he's playing power SG was a top player fact is he hasn't played well in years as age catches up with every player they went close last year but I don't think he done anything that major except score all the penalties they got which was a lot. He was a top player faded a lot as he got older and the media attention he's getting is OTT. The reason he's getting so much hype is because he's playing with LFC. Giggs has won countless throphys has stayed at the same club all he's life and did not get nowhere near the attention SG has been getting. I don't blame LFC or SG they can celebrate the player what ever way they want but the coverage from the media is disgusting .

I think he represents what a lot of us want to see. One of our own come through. There are very few players who come through their hometown clubs, captain them and lead them to the top of European football.

I think that's why he's got so much attention.

I think it would be amazingly poetic if Ruben Loftus-Cheek could have a similar career having made his debut against Liverpool.

Yeah its a nice thought but its because he's playing for the media darlings Liverpool that's why he's getting so much attention. If any other player captain their home town club that wasn't Liverpool to a European throphy it wouldnt get this sort of attention. Let's not forget it was us they cheated out of a European final if the linesman done he's job or if we had goal line technology maybe Istanbul would never have been. Like I said LFC can celebrate Gerrard anyway they want but I don't think it should be rammed down everyone else's throat the media love Liverpool you surely can't say they don't. SG gof sent off against man utd and the sky panel defened him and sky even gave him the air time to apologize to the fans. Its OTT

Yet ask if Paul Scholes was a great player and I'd expect a majority to acknowledge that he was.

 

Maybe some people just don't rate Gerrard as highly as you do and aren't interested in joining in the w*nkfest that surrounds him. I don't know why you find that so hard to accept.
