Poor Chris. Mind you, some of us never got a snog at all.
I have sympathy for everyone involved and affected by this curious situation, including Rich Stephen.

I think Gerrard is a good player, but most players can be made world class by a selective series of edited highlights; He's been mainly rubbish for England, nowhere near as good for Liverpool week-in week -out as the London media would have people believe. Most shots and Hollywood passes aren't anywhere near as good as the one that make the compilations.
I now hope Liverpool win the European Cup and the League and Gerrard joins lil' Michael Owen in the 'what have I done?' stakes. Oh, and he's a greedy fucker. Obscene.

I agree with Dave in that he is too inconsistent, perhaps this flatters the two big occasions where he delivered for the club last season - though those deliveries were utterly divine.
I still enjoy reminiscing about his performance for England v Germany in Sep 2001.

Is it about money - I'm reminded of the saying that millionaires become millionaires and stay millionaires by being tight-arsed money obsessed fuckers, whilst most of us see money as symbolic (we convert money into things in pursuit of what we want to do). I wonder whether this is another instance; the fact is, in sheer 'things to do with money if I had it' terms, another 500K a year is neither here nor there. Hence it's all about the money.
There's possibly the issue that he knows that in truth, Liverpool were 'lucky'* to win and wants to play somewhere where the ludic aspect will be less. He fails to understand that winning medals in a team such as Chelsea is incomparable to beikng a scouse legend. No sense of history, these young people.
* - lucky as in the true ludic nature of all the best sports

"I'm having the worst summer of my life because I don't know at what club I will be at in two weeks time," he had said.
"Since losing the Champions League final the only good thing that has happened has been my wedding."
I am trying to think of a suitable response to the INXS revelation.

"This won't be happening again next summer or ever again."
Right. So them agreeing to what you wanted, which happened prior to you saying "I don't want to be here" isn't a strong enough indication then? Prick.

Ode to "Stevie G"(to the tune of "Should I stay or should I go" by the Clash)
Agent you gotta let me knowShould I stay or should I go?If they'll pay 100KI'll tell Real to go awayBut don't treat me like a foolThey pay me less than Harry Kewell
We won the champions leagueI kissed the badge down on my kneesCan I resist the lure of Chelski?Have they a shirt that'll even fit me?Hope my agent let's me knowShould I quit or should I blow
This indecision's bugging meThey burned my shirt on Sky TVFirst it's white and next it's blackAnd I've made Parry look a right prattI've made my mind up and that's thatoh wait I think I'll change it back
Should I stay or should I go nowShould I stay or should I go nowIf I go blue I'm paid in roublesIf I stay they'll pay me doubleBut we'll sign Peter Crouch oh no!Should I stay or should I go?

Liverpool begin their defence of their European crown tonight at home to lowly Total Control Racing of Wales.
The match is a sell-out!
Most of Total Control Racing's players are Scousers!
One of them has a Liverpool tattoo, unlike Cabbage.
Will the buzz remain unharshed?
Is anyone excited?
I haven't even been on me summer holidays yet!
(I'm not going.)

When the 9th goal went in, I suppose it was Goodnight Vienna. Or, Goodnight Gamlitz.
It's true, Stevie G seems to have played out of his SKIN, these two weeks!
They weren't dancing on the streets of Total Network Solutions by the time he'd finished with them!
When I heard that Crouch had at last made his move, I was going to revive this thread and say something like, 'Cor, with Crouch on board, they could become unstoppable'. I wasn't going to mean it. But then I realized that technically they already are. Unstoppable.
