foreveryoung Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 apparantly his family are well known in the city and are respected. was reading about it last night and one bloke said there is no way the people of huyton would let any harm come to the gerrard family, also said there are some big families in the area which are associated with the family. i just think he had a change of heart. funny old city liverpool is. Strange then his house got broken into when he was away with the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 There was none of this fuss when Paul Scholes retired. Dignified. And Gerrard isn't even retiring! Just leaving Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 just saw, Guard of Honor, bringing his kids onto the pitch, it wasnt a **** testimonial, Palace should be ashamed of themselves for participating in that though maybe they were and thats why they ruined his day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Jesus christ! Watching Swansea-Man City and Sky can't even discuss how good Lampard was as he's leaving England too without mentioning Steven **** Gerrard! It's so nauseating Can't wait for the summer when all this is hopefully over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why has he had so much media attention compared to other players that retired like Scholes? Is it because he's a one club man, but so was Scholes. Is it because he's so highly regarded by the media and his fellow professionals? Even more so than Beckham, Scholes and Lampard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 at least Fabio Cannavaro didnt fall for the media love in http://www.scoopnest.com/user/FootballFunnys/599927987958652930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 he will rightly be remembered as a great player whether you like him or not. a local lad playing for his boyhood club and getting an heroes ovation like he did, thats everyones dream i think. hes liverpool through and through and its showed in every performance and that i respect. If he wasn't being paid top dollar he'd have left years ago. He stayed 'loyal' because they paid him a fortune. he could of got more elsewhere surely?

Nigel Posted May 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2015 I really dont understand the hatred towards him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) I really dont understand the hatred towards him! The media bigging him up EVERY single game just makes people dislike him a little bit more each time. Same goes for liverpool (infact, same goes for every player really, as soon as someone is talked about in media you always get people saying they hate them, e.g. kane/sterling). I imagine nobody would really care/talk about him that negatively if the media didn't make a mountain out of a molehill with him leaving/pointless Hollywood balls lol.

ThunderPower_14 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I really dont understand the hatred towards him! I hate Liverpool more than any other club and he's been the face of their club for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2015 His whiney scouse accent sets my teeth on edge. EVERYTHING he says starts with "Eeeerrrrmm...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) thing is a classier ex-Liverpool player is retiring as well next few weeks after nearly 500 Premier League appearances and not a word is said about him Big Brad never beat up DJs or try to get fellow professionals sent off. He just walking away gracefully like Gerrard should have done I know everyone on here hates Gerrard, but let's not pretend that this is a complete Gerrard-orchestrated thing. He's had very little choice in the coverage that this has got. I don't really get the over the top hate though, personally.

darrenm Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't hate him, he's just one of my least favourite players because he always cheats. He's dived against us and robbed us of points on a few occasions. I think it was a CL semi final where he got the ball in the last minute, ran straight at a defender who couldn't get out of the way and got a penalty. Don't like any cheats personally.
