it won't wreck his life but no doubt it will hurt him a lot more than it will hurt any of us How's that work ey?  He's the privileged one, we're the suckers (some that go that is) that pay his obscene wages.

because he actually plays and winning something while playing is 100 times better than simply supporting same as losing while playing hurts a hell of a lot more.
Money has Fook all to do with it

He's the privileged one, we're the suckers (some that go that is) that pay his obscene wages. Money or no, this is his life's work we're talking about. He's devoted his life to this game since he was a kid, and breaking through into this league doesn't come from just being an accidental genius, it comes from blood, sweat and tears. Gerrard has always played with passion, and he's always given all he had. If he gets offered that much money to do what he loves, is it wrong for him to say yes? He's not in this business to make money, though I'm sure he doesn't complain about that part. He's in it to represent his boyhood city and club, and he's in it to win trophies. He's wanted the league for years, and he's had to watch his teammates Alonso, Torres, Mascherano, etc. move on to other clubs and win titles and champions leagues while his own club sank further and further into the mire. You can say what you want about the wages, but that has to sting. Then the coach that brought the best out of him was shamefully sacked, a clueless yes man was brought in and taken out in the space of a few months, and then a legend's magic failed to revive the team. He got several injuries that he thought would end his career at one point. He certainly won't ever be that dynamic runner again, so he had to adapt and reinvent his style. He must have thought it wasn't gonna happen in his lifetime, but then this miracle began. He's never been this close to it in his life, and you can bet your ass hat it'll be a major heartbreak if it doesn't come off.

This wasn't intended as a a rant about the money he earns, but about you lot going on and on and on about how heartbreaking it'll be for poor lickle Gerrard if he and his team mates fail to win the PL. I'm sure he wasn't expecting this last minute surge towards the title ,the same as we weren't, so let's all have a reality check ey? If we win it, GREAT, but lets not be forgetting the fans that pay his wages, and are probably making major sacrifices to do so. THEY are the ones I'll be feeling really sorry for IF we don't succeed. Gerrard? As I say, he's won plenty to be more than proud of in his established and successful career, and he'll be swiftly moving on to the WC the month after with barely a cvare in the world, and certainly not wiorrying about the credit card statement that many cash ravaged fans are going to be losing sleep over due to the dedicated following of their team. Gerrard worthy of a PL title medal? Sure, of course he does. Sorry and sobbing for Gerrard if he doesn't achieve that? Do you REALLY and honestly believe he'll be feeling even remotely sorry for those that religiously follow the team, home and away? You REALLY AREV havin' a piggin' laf if you think so.?
