I think that's his cousin Anthony Gerrard who plays for everton youth

Fowler, Rush and Carra were all evertonians and they are worshipped. I just think there's something a bit cold about Owen. I need to stress though don't get the impression he wasn't like or was hated or anything. It's just that you would have thought 152 goals would have demanded a bit more warmth than he got.

Can we use metal poles? 122120[/snapback] If you want I live at David Moyes Road David Moyesville David Moyesatania DVD MYS I'm ginger and scottish and look exactly like David Moyes. Don't stop hitting me til you're sure I can't move anymore Then hit me a few more times.

Chill out. You won't lose to Sunderland. They're fucking dire. If you do I'll give you my address and you can all lynch me.

You outbid us. Simple as that. We couldn't afford the 17mill or whatever it would have taken. We couldn't bid money we didn't have only an idiot would do that. I don't know where this myth he didn't want him came from we were speaking to Owen til the last minute but we just didn't have the cash that you guys put up. 122083[/snapback] I thought the attempt to resign Owen was the board's idea, not Benitez's. 122114[/snapback] nah that's one of those things that gets into the press somehow and just gets repeated til it's accepted fact. You probably didn't watch it but the Super Cup was before the transfer window of summer closed. Cisse came off the bench and got two goals and after the game rafa refused to say that he was keeping Cisse. That was because he was trying to sell him to raise the cash for Owen. Like i said we just couldn't match your bid of 16-17mill whatever it was. It wasn't us playing silly buggers over the principle of selling him for £8mill then doubling the price and it wasn't because rafa didn't want him. We just didn't have the money and which idiot spends money they don't have? You have to wake up the next day and still have a club that exists.

the one about europe has been a rumour from right at the start of the season when it looked like you'd have a good team. You'd be shocked at how many Liverpool fans can't stand him and want him nowhere near. 122098[/snapback] Any ideas why? 122113[/snapback] The way he ran his contract his contract down so he could leave for a much reduced fee. He left before the new manager had been there for a month so didn't give benitez a chance. He was never the biggest favourite in the world with some for whatever reason. Don't get me wrong though he was greatly appreciated by loads but he was never at Fowler status for most. There was a nagging suspicion he was more England's than Liverpool's (you guys know how that one goes ). He said from when he was about 17 that he'd leave one day so what was the point in getting too close to him. He's said several times that Liverpool was his first choice when leaving Madrid so why didn't he force their hand in the way a lot of players do. He's a welsh shortarse. Those are all the various reasons for different people. I think I covered them all.

I've never seen Chopra play more than 3 games. One of them was when he was 15-6 and the other two against lower league opposition this season so I can't judge him so I'll take your word on it. Shearer's retiring obviously. Ameobi's a proper mixed bag whenever I see him. Capable of doing something really ace and rubbish in the same move. With his skills set he should be better than he is maybe Cisse's better than him I dunno though. If you could fix Luque you'd have a proper player but i think he's a better winger. I almost forgot you had Owen. He's shit we'll take him off you if you want.

you did though. It was left up to the discretion of the individual F.A who were meant to make the choice U.E.F.A wanted like the spanish F.A did. That's why uefa changed it immediately as they realised not all FA had their same thought procesess. I swear typing this feels familiar

We'll happily pay you 12mill to take Cisse. Oh you mean you'll give us Owen if we give you 12mill and djibs? In the interest of fair play I'll have to decline your offer and warn you as to your sanity.

yeah spose so I thought the "Where were you in istanbul" chants were funny and fair game and even the "what a waste of talent". The booing was harsh though and i didn't even like him that much when he was here.

aye but so was Owen anyway i'll stop now as i get enough owen talk on other places

the one about europe has been a rumour from right at the start of the season when it looked like you'd have a good team. You'd be shocked at how many Liverpool fans can't stand him and want him nowhere near.

I'm fairly confident that Owen will be here next season. 122088[/snapback] I haven't got a scooby either way, depends on a lot. I heard he could even end up at the mancs. It'll be pretty harsh if he leaves you having only played 10/11/12 games but this is Owen and take it from a liverpool supporter, Michael Owen always looks after Michael Owen. Expect nothing from him apart from goals, oh and injuries but you've learnt that quickly.

that rumour is rife on loads of liverpool boards. You won't believe it's true anyhow, don't blame you. We'll see in the summer anyhow. I'm hoping he comes back.
