Absolutely - well, that’s if you want to compare him with a 29-year old uncapped Bosnian and a Finnish midfielder.He was pretty good for them.

I still can't fathom how he got away with that.
I haven't seen such a bad pun in all of my life...Yeah, it was against all odds.
Do Chelsea fans really hate him? If so, why? Because he didn’t sign for them? Because he assisted them winning a title?I think how hated he is by Utd and Chelsea's fans is testament to how good he was as a player.
Utter bellend as a person though, and the slip will haunt him for the rest of his days. Serves him right.

That's the general impression I got from travelling to different parts of the world thus far. Only Utd and Chelsea fans really revel in his misfortunes. The others were kinda blasé about it, many wish they have one like him in the team.Do Chelsea fans really hate him? If so, why? Because he didn’t sign for them?

That's when you know someone's age, the fact that you deciphered that
Nah. Plenty of players have been very good and played for the rivals without being so disliked. Stevie is a special case, perhaps cause his only proper medal in life came after diving for the draw or maybe because he's simply an unlikable bastard.I think how hated he is by Utd and Chelsea's fans is testament to how good he was as a player.

Yep. That about sums it up.I wouldn't read too much into those comments, he also said Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes and Cantona were the only world class players he ever managed. Which is obviously bullshit and contradicts the numerous times he described Keane, Giggs, Schemeichel, Vidic, Ferdinand, Stam, Van Nistelrooy, RVP, VDS, Evra, Irwin etc etc. as world class players over the years.
We can hate Gerrard all we want, and i think he's a tosser. But he was a top player for a long time. He wasn't the best around, certainly not in central midfield but he was a brilliant player and one of the best in the PL era.
So you have travelled to different parts of the world and spoken to many fans about Gerrard?That's the general impression I got from travelling to different parts of the world thus far. Only Utd and Chelsea fans really revel in his misfortunes. The others were kinda blasé about it, many wish they have one like him in the team.
Genuine question. Can someone show an example of a world class performance by Gerrard? I looked at the highlights from the CL Final 2005 because that's an often cited example, but the only notable events with him seemed to be his header and the penalty dive. I'm aware highlights only show so much, however.
I've been to about 12 countries so far during the course of my study and recreational travel. I don't actively sought out opinion on Stevie Me, but you can chat with plenty of people in pubs. Utd and Liverpool do come up in those conversations. Beyond that, football boards and fan pages do exist.So you have travelled to different parts of the world and spoken to many fans about Gerrard?
Do you have some sort of club to club dossier on him?
What do PSG, Bayern Munich and Zenit St Petersburg fans think of him?
This is like Gerrard travels as opposed to Gulliver's travels....
I am off to Disney World next year I will ask Goofy, Donald Duck and chuffin Mickey Mouse.
May get more sensible responses actually.
Not really, just a Liverpool fan backing our player on a rival forum where most don't give him any credit - it just seemed a bit odd saying you had travelled the world and supposedly asked a lot of people about Gerrard.I've been to about 12 countries so far during the course of my study and recreational travel.

You seem to be particularly touchy about this for some reasons I'm struggling to fathom.
The venom. What's he done that's so bad he deserves to be haunted for the rest of his days?I think how hated he is by Utd and Chelsea's fans is testament to how good he was as a player.

I asked them last year. They wondered if that was the guy that twatted a DJ because he wouldn't play Phil Collins.I am off to Disney World next year I will ask Goofy, Donald Duck and chuffin Mickey Mouse.

Being an egotistical, violent twunt who more than once tried to break our players' legs and spout all sorts of bs towards Utd?The venom. What's he done that's so bad he deserves to be haunted for the rest of his days?
Ha Ha - nice once.I asked them last year. They wondered if that was the guy that twatted a DJ because he wouldn't play Phil Collins.
When did he try to break any of your players legs? (cough cough Roy Keane....)Being an egotistical, violent twunt who more than once tried to break our players' legs and spout all sorts of bs towards Utd?
Carrick in the FA Cup 2011, Herrera in his last derby the two most recent examples.When did he try to break any of your players legs? (cough cough Roy Keane....)
How do you know he is egotistical, did you meet him in a pub? or did you ask El Hadji Diouf?
Do you want him back at the club?Ha Ha - nice once.
Get a grip, Liverpool V United the tackles always fly in, from both sides.Carrick in the FA Cup 2011, Herrera in his last derby the two most recent examples.
I think he could be useful working at the academy with some of the younger players, provided Klopp is happy about it, don't see any reason why not.Do you want him back at the club?
Tackles flying in . Mate, I've only named the two that he was caught red handed on the spot. He was a snide little cvnt who always tried to injure our players at Anfield because refs let you get away with it most of the time. Although to be fair to him, he wasn't the only one. His mate Jamie did plenty of hacking himself.Get a grip, Liverpool V United the tackles always fly in, from both sides.
How do you know he is egotistical - please ask your pub mates next time you are off on your travels.
Mate United and Liverpool - fierce rivalry, physical challenges from both sides.Tackles flying in . Mate, I've only named the two that he was caught red handed on the spot.

As for my travel, I think I've known sufficiently about your Stevie G, I'll spend my time on something more enjoyable
There's the Newcastle "luv it" one where the they crumbled, the Aguerooo goal that pinched the league from us but I think liverpools collapse is the big one in terms of football heart breaks in the EPL. The after shock was huge.Nearly 30 years waiting for that coveted league title,on course only for your leader to slip and the 3-3 draw to have it snatched from you.So long and thanks for all the slip.
There's a difference between being physical and being violent, and the amount of Pool players that got sent off in the fixture in recent years tell a different story.Mate United and Liverpool - fierce rivalry, physical challenges from both sides.
United have hardly been angels when playing us - that's what rivalry is about. It's part of what those games are about.
I forgot how great Torres was, that's what I've got from this video. And I would've given Gerrard a red for that tackle

Anyway, it's not a valid argument. Rivalry shouldn't be an excuse for violent conduct. Did anyone enjoy or condone the shitshow that was Real-Barca circa 11-12 under Jose and Pep? Following your logic, you probably did.
And FYI, before you bring up Keane again, I've never once defended his conduct on this site, and the same goes for a lot of Utd supporters.
Yes I'll be on my way. 'He did it first', 'both sides do it'. Brilliant argument.
Yep attempted punch (or whatever soft lad was actually trying to do) - anyway both sides just as bad. Off you go on your travels now....
Yeah Torres really was phenomenal.I forgot how great Torres was, that's what I've got from this video. And I would've given Gerrard a red for that tackle
De Bruyne today looks like a carbon copy of 08/09 Gerrard
Give over - the Drogba one?I didn't mind the tackles and aggression as Keane, etc were the same.
The problem with Gerrard for me was the 'backpasses' that stopped us winning titles. They were deliberate, and while Liverpool fans would applaud (and I would in the same situation), I feel something should have been done about it.
