Great player. He made the right decision instead of playing on not trying management (at this stage) and tarnishing his legacy. I am relieved and happy for him.

The amount of bile against the club and former players on here is reaching shameful levels. Good point and I completely agree. You'd think people have better things to do. If I don't like something or someone, I distance myself and don't get involved, its so much easier.

I think there is a bit of a myth about Gerrard and his performance in Istanbul myself like, I think he definitely dragged us to the win against West Ham in the Cup final but certainly not Istanbul. Yes he scored a very good goal and yes he was outstanding filling in at right back in extra tIme but for me the main reason we found ourselves 3-0 down at half time was because of Gerrard and the biggest flaw in his game... indiscipline... that first half he played the big I am, captain, I can do and go wherever I want and left a massive hole which left Xabi Alonso with an impossible job to fill, you seen the difference when a disciplined player like Hamann did when he came on. If people don't believe what I am saying why did Benitez not trust him in his so called favourite. Position central midfield again under him, so for me Cup final 2006 yes definately, Istanbul 2005 certainly not...

I just wish I had your restraint Chris.

It's just my opinion, but some of the opinions of our past players and managers from certain posters are appalling and says more about them as people than anything else. Just my opinion though as I'm entitled to am I not?

It's driving me to the paid site if I'm honest (Dunk will be happy  ) I can't imagine there's as many clowns in there and then at least I could have more sensible conversations with people.

I do question your footballing knowledge and looks like going to games doesn't really help.

Gerrard was by no means our best ever player.
I rate the following as much better than Gerrard.
Kenny Dalglish
Emlyn Hughes
Yeates - a true man mountain
Souness
Billy Liddell
Rushie
people who claim Gerrard was our best ever player have no concept of the history of our club. i think some of it depends on how old you are, younger people will have Gerrard at the top because unfortunately they have never known real success. If I was asked Gerrard probably wouldn't be in my top ten greatest but then again neither would Billy Liddell and that's because I never had the privilege to watch him but I know to people over 60 he was the greatest ever... He is our greatest player in this century and by far, dinosaures will definitely have other views.
