Of course not. That would be plain daft, wouldn't it?

You have actually read the link haven't you?

“As a Liverpool fan and a player it’s frustrating when you see your arch-rivals lifting trophies but you’ve got to give credit where it’s due,” Gerrard said.

“They’ve won it, they’ve overtaken us.

“Now the challenge for us is to equalise. We’ve got to make sure we’ve got a squad capable of going into the season and competing with Manchester United.

“It’s a big statement by the club getting a big signing in early and now we’re watching anxiously for a few more to follow. It’s exciting times.

“It’s important this team delivers very soon because we’ve been a number of seasons without putting a trophy in the cabinet and that’s not what Liverpool is about.

“I want to play well, I want to score goals – but it’s much more important that the team plays well and we all end the season happy.”


Which part would you say is deluded? The bit about our challenge to equalise United? Should we be expecting our captain to come out and admit defeat before a ball is kicked? I'm sure that would go down well.

I'll reiterate that I don't think Liverpool can win the league this season. I'll be happy if we're competing for a top 4 finish and replicating our form from when Kenny took over (with a much inferior squad we were top 4 from his appointment until the end of the season).

I think we can get into the top 4 next year, but we won't win the league for a good few years yet.

Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.

No I didn't. Gerrard talking up Liverpool's chances is hardly newsworthy. I wouldn't expect him to say anything less.

Edit: But having read the quotes, Gerrard says nothing of the sort. Does this mean another WUM is making things up?

A lot of teams beat us, do a lap of honour and don't stop running. They live too long on one good result. I remember Jimmy Adamson crowing after Burnley had beaten us once and that his players were in a different league. At the end of the season they were.

This is RLFans, I'm afraid that's how it works on here.

I wouldn't say making things up, just pushing certain agendas. :wink:

Gerrard told Sky Sports News: "If we were to get back in the top-four next season I think it would be a fantastic achievement. But we will be setting out to win the league, because that's what you do year in and year out at Liverpool."

No agenda, just the words of the man himself.

Yeah, good ta. Found a sports bar down the road from the hotel in Ixia (Rodos Palace Garden) that had all the football, so managed to catch the Super Sunday Hat Trick matches and then Stoke v Liverpool on the Monday night.

The timing of the holiday meant that there was no Super League on during my time away, just the CC and they didn't show the CC games as it clashed with the Turkish Grand Prix. :(

Sadly rugby league is usually well down the pecking order in foreign pubs. Somewhere between rythmic gymnastics and speedway.
