Thought that was brilliant.
People have slagged stevie off in the past but he seems like a sound lad.
Loved goals on sunday the other month with him and carra on it and also when he was in the studio at the Fulham match. He came across really well.
Proper love our skipper me.

Proper legend he is Ben, you know I forgive him for what he has done before with the Chelsea saga, he definitely made it up for us and he has always put his heart out for the club.

He seriously deserves a premier league medal :bowdown

Yes and Fabregas who was also injured went to watch the Grand Prix rather than be at the last home game of the season, shows the difference in them.

Kin LEGEND.

That's BOSS.

You won't see many other super stars rub shoulders with the average fans. Usually there must be a scandal to force a player to do uncharacteristically charitable things, good to see Gerrard still holds on to old values.

None of the old captains would have done that.

Steven Gerrard believes the right infrastructure is now firmly in place off the pitch to help Liverpool return to the glory days on it.

The captain admits he's impressed with the set up Fenway Sports Group have constructed since acquiring the club, with Damien Comolli brought in as Director of Football, Ian Ayre promoted to the position of Managing Director and, of course, the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as team manager.

"Now the structure of the club from top to bottom seems to be right," Gerrard told LFC Weekly.

"The new owners are making the right decisions. They've put Damien (Comolli) as a director of football, which is a good appointment. Ian Ayre is the new MD - again positive.

"And Kenny's back too and he's Liverpool through and through. It feels more like a solid structure and it feels more like Liverpool.

"People are only talking about the new team now, which is the way it should be for me."

The return of Dalglish in January was one of many successful big decisions Fenway Sports Group have taken since taking over the club.

The iconic Scot revitalised Liverpool's fortunes in the second half of 2010-11, taking them from 12th in the Barclays Premier League table to within a whisker of securing European qualification.

Gerrard pinpoints Dalglish's man management skills as a key factor in his turnaround of the Reds' form.

"It's his qualities as a human being that make him a special manager," he said. "Every player knows that his door is always open whatever problem you have. But that doesn't mean he's too soft - the opposite infact. If he's unhappy he'll let you know about it.

"His management skills are second to none because he knows when someone needs an arm around them and understands when someone needs a rollicking as well."

He added: "What is definitely evident now is that with a bit of maturity and extra time on the pitch we have better players than some thought we had."

Of the changes Dalglish has implemented, a rise in the tempo of training sessions has been of major benefit, according to Gerrard.

"The training has been simplified and now it's close to match tempo," he said. "Steve Clarke and Sammy (Lee) are both very good coaches and together they work well. You don't want to miss a single session.

"If the training is competitive you get in the right habits. You get used to working at a tempo and it's easier to take it into the games. I don't know whether I'm right but it's just how I feel."

News of Dalglish's permanent three-year deal with the club earlier this month was greeted with delight by supporters.

A change in atmosphere around Anfield has been evident since January, and Gerrard feels the 60-year-old has helped solidify the unity between players and fans.

"A new manager comes in, he puts a load of belief and confidence into the players, he brings a different coach and training changes, the players enjoy the sessions and the fans are delighted with Kenny coming back," he said.

"The supporters here play such a huge role, maybe more than at any other club. Without being disrespectful to other crowds, I'm not sure they could lift their team anywhere near as much as a Liverpool crowd can.

"When a Liverpool crowd is up for it and behind the team, its unbelievable - the feeling you get stepping out onto the pitch, you feel stronger, knowing you're going to win.

"I can't emphasise enough how their support is helpful to us. The players all appreciate it. They have won us games over the years, dragging us over the line. They'll do it again too. The fans are a massive part of this club. They are the club."

Good stuff from our captain

Most past captains are not seen as legends until the end of their careers when we sit back and reflect...

Steveie is one of the rare few that get to that status while they are still playing at close to their peak.. Roll on next season.. good times!

Happy Birthday Steven Gerrard! 31 today...

STEVEN GERRARD'S JOY AT MANCHESTER UNITED'S EURO DEFEAT

LIVERPOOL star Steven Gerrard looks set to cause an England rift as he is caught celebrating Manchester United’s Champions League defeat.

These incredible pictures show Steven Gerrard signalling Liverpool’s five European Cup victories in a gesture that will enrage Manchester United.

He and his pals then rubbed salt in the wound with gloating messages on Twitter about Barcelona’s 3-1 victory in Saturday’s Wembley final.

But Gerrard will have some explaining to do when he meets up with United stars Wayne Rooney, 25, Rio Ferdinand, 32, and Michael Carrick, 29 for England training today.

The Kop star, his best pal Paul McGrattan and boxer Paul Smith Jnr mocked United as they and other Liverpool fans revelled in Barcelona’s triumph.

Actor McGrattan posted the snap showing Gerrard holding up five fi ngers and bragging: “Stevie G reminding the world “IN ISTANBUL WE WON 5 TIMES”!! Liverpool FC The Greatest Club in World!’’

He then taunted a striker who joined United from Liverpool. Mc-Grattan wrote: “Message from the captain to Michael Owen. If you can’t beat them you should of joined....us! 5 TIMES! You 0 times!’’

Ex-Brit super-middleweight champ Smith Jnr also uploaded a snap of Gerrard cheering when Barcelona went 2-1 up. But a United insider said: “This is a pretty despicable thing to do.

“This was one of the biggest games of the careers of players like Wayne and Rio.

“Everyone understands the rivalry between United and Liverpool but for Gerrard to be captured partying while his colleagues were distraught is inflammatory.

“This provokes hatred between fans. And it won’t be the best thing for England team spirit. Rio, Wayne and Michael will be furious.”
