The Football.....

Sorry to be a pedant but he was actually acquitted of the assault charge so not sure about the criminal activities bit (got to cover one's a*** remember what happened to Sally Bercow)... but the Stevie G lovefest over the past few weeks has been nauseating, which seems typical of anything to do with the media darlings of LFC. Don't remember all this for Frank Lampard or Ryan Giggs, despite them both having won more than double what Gerrard has won...

Really? Were you asleep during the Lampard leaving fiasco then? And as for the number of times Giggs' goal against Arsenal was shown and he hasn't even left Man U.

Neither Lampard nor Giggs got the love-in that Gerrard has been afforded.

Giggs didn't leave his club and Lampard wasn't a "one club" player.

I know.

But I still think the media jizz-fest over Lampard is ridiculous and goes beyond anything I've seen before. And as I said he'll be back which makes the furore around his departure as tedious as it is pointless.

The final demotion place is a three horse race with Hill as the favourite.

Ha.... obviously I meant Hall...

 

[Archie_tect]

Hell.

I get more like Count Arthur Strong every day.... Bell... no, Ball. Oh, I give up, bull.

I really don't recall anything like the sycophancy Gerrard got being put Lampard's way, or Giggs who might not have left Utd but he has retired from playing, or Paul Scholes (twice), but then then I suppose having to suffer the Merseyside as well as the national media might influence my perceptions. I think one of the things about Gerrard is that he has carried Liverpool for the past decade and a bit more and has effectively become bigger than the club.

Cracking shot by Fabregas.

Greatest highlights package of all time?

I know you can get a yellow for taking your shirt off after scoring, but here's how to go one better and get sent off.

Forget all this Premier league rubbish, today's big news is the announcement of my team Stockport County's new manager, Neil Young.
Division 6 won't know what hit it next season

Well he's made his mark already, got rid of all but 2 of the current squad

Things can only get better
