KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum World cup or Premiership for Gerrard?

And England beat Germany to win something once, so they've had their turn, right?

To be honest with you stanley, thats the way I see football now for the foreseeable future, there seriously could only be United, City and Chelsea winning the league for the next 50 or 60 years unless the landscape of football changes, money is everything as City proved.
I dont even think the 4th best Club in the country Arsenal will win the league in the same time as thats how big the gap is going.
If you said to a Preston or Huddersfield fan back when they last won the league that they would'nt win it for at least another 50 years they would say you were mad and it's the same with Liverpool fans if you said back in 1990 that we would'nt win the league for at least 22 years they would say the same thing, this is the way football goes, Spurs are the same but about 50 years and counting and there a big club too.
For me it's not as important for me to see us win Leagues or Champions Leagues because I have been it, seen it and done it all on numerous occasions, I am totaly happy with what I have seen and experienced, I just want the Club run right and decent football to watch, hopefuly this new manager will be able to provide me with value for money with my season ticket, got to be better than 6 wins at home all last season surely.

world cup without a doubt.

that is my fear mate

that is my fear

footballers will always choose International honours before Club ones. I bet if you asked Gerrard whats the best thing he has done in his career he will say captining his country, he wont say it while he is still playing for Liverpool for fear of upseting people but once he has finished he will, bet Owen, Shearer and Lineker all cherish the goals they scored for England more than there Club goals too.

Its the greatest honour do you think Maradona if asked about his greatest moments in the game would say when he played for river plate or Napoli? Or Bobby Charlton would say playing for Man U or Lineker when he played for spurs or everton. No chance !! International is where its at but for world cups only, the rest friendlies or euros not so.

It's the league for me but the world cup for Ireland would be the mother of all sessions even the group stages are cause for a massive party one is a 40/1 shot the other is 500/1

What would you remember when in the old folks home Livrpool winning the league or Ireland winning world cup. I think you know the answer to that one.

i would expect a player of his level to want to win every tournament they ever enter for club or country but there cant be anything higher than winning the world cup no matter who they are its the pinnacle of football but would probably be a close run thing in gerrards case with him being a liverpool fan he must want to win the premier league as much as every fan does

I'm hoping when I go there I can't even remember my own name but if Ireland win the wc that may happen a lot sooner. I see what you mean tho
