Gerrard - We won`t surrender

Fri 08 May, 08:21 AM


Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard aims to put the pressure on Manchester United at the top of the Barclays Premier League by helping his team claim top spot at West Ham.

If the Reds do so, it will be the first time since the inception of the Premier League that they have led with two games to go.

Of course United, with a game in hand, can reclaim top spot by winning at home to neighbours Manchester City 24 hours later.

But the measure of Liverpool's improvement this season will be underlined by even a temporary stint at the head of the table at this stage.

If they do take all three points at the Boleyn Ground, they will reach the 80-point mark for only the third time in the Premier League - their highest is the 82 amassed in the 2005-06 season, when they finished third.

Gerrard, set to lead Liverpool for the 100th time in league combat, still believes the title is possible. He said: "We will keep going until the end. We won't surrender when we're so close. Winning the title with this club would mean the world to me."

  1. In ManU's last 15mtaches or so,they have been­­ depending on the brown-envelloped referees to OVREBO­­ their matches in their favour.If the referee does not­­ OVREBOed the match then the day­ will be for City. I­­ just wish SAF does not­ brown-envelloped the referee­­­ for him to OVREBOed the­ match so that with the Mighty­­ reds win over Zola­ will­ improve things around.YNWA

  2. n1r3d - cheers for your comment. I enjoyed the banter.­ I am a Liverpool supporter - who knows her facts. I do­ not have any grievance with Man U per se. The arrogance­ of some supporters is somewhat wanting though.

    You­ have proven my point for me. You state "all­ Liverpool fans who­ claim their team is the most­ successful, whilst basing­ that only on the European­ Cup wins and league­ championships". It is a FACT­ that we hold more of these titles than Man U. It is­ also a FACT that we have more honours and trophies than­ any other team in English soccer. It is also a FACT­ that these trophies were won in the past - how could­ ALL those trophies possibly be won in one season!
    Your­ attempt to belittle Rafa Benitez and Steven Gerrard­ just shows that you have no respect for soccer and your­ opinions are worthless.
    Your inability to communicate­ your point without resorting to personal attacks proves­ how ignorant, arrogant and childish you are.
    FOOL.

  7. Susan M, you are epitome of Liverpool fans where­ stupidity reigns supreme.
    I have presented my facts,­ where are yours?

    The only person you are fooling is­ yourself. Your drivel really does sum up the lame and­ pathetic comments spouted by all Liverpool fans who­ claim their team is the most successful, whilst basing­ that only on the European Cup wins and league­ championships. Overall Man U are more successful than­ Liverpool and that is a fact I have provided, where are­ yours?

    Your comments are as hollow as the comments­ from the Liverpool manager and the Liverpool­ captain.

    And for the record, all Liverpool fans have­ got is their past, they have nothing else to boast­ about. You lot are like a broken record. Get a grip you­ Muppet!

    Manchester United.......The Champions of­ England
    Manchester United ......The Champions of­ Europe
    Manchester United.......The Champions of the­ World

    That is an actual and modern day­ FACT.....................FOOL

    From Flipper, on Fri 8 May 10:43AM

  8. Mr. Flipper - you are the epitome of Man U supporters.­ Absolutely no sense of what's right and wrong. You­ are indeed the one who is blinkered. Your narrow­ mindedness is only overshadowed by your inability to­ accept the truth. Liverpool ARE the most SUCCESSFUL­ club in the history of English Football. They have MORE­ TROPHIES than any other club and that includes your­ beloved Man U. You DO NOT have your facts right nor did­ I expect you would. My comment was neither arrogant nor­ stupid but 100% factual - something you Man U lot have­ great difficulty embracing. Indeed the meer fact that­ you call me stupid without having any idea of who or­ what I am just demonstrates who exactly is the stupid­ and arrogant one! You should use your on line skills to­ better effect and search for the "most successful­ english soccer club" - you will be extremely­ disappointed. FOOL.

  9. Keep talkin' and dreaming Stevie. Rafa better think­ about how to stop MU from winning it again next­ season...

    From Abang Kool, on Fri 8 May 10:04AM

  10. Susan M, you are as obviously blinkered as you are­ stupid.

    Liverpool are not the most successful club in­ English football.

    Manchester United have won the­ European Cup 3 times (possibly a fourth coming­ up)

    United have won the league 17 times (and almost­ certainly an 18th time coming up)

    United have won the­ FA Cup 13 times (LFC have only won it 7 times)

    With­ that logic Manchester United are more successful that­ Liverpool

    I have checked my facts, so your arrogant­ comments have made you look like a complete­ idiot.

    Think before you write your pathetic rants

    From Flipper, on Fri 8 May 10:00AM

  11. Saladdressing you don't win the league in February,­ the Champions win it in May.

    From nikyates, on Fri 8 May 9:59AM

  12. YOU MAY HAVE NO CHOICE...STICKS IN YOU CRAW DON'T­ IT..LOL!

    From L H, on Fri 8 May 9:46AM

  13. People who say that we are a two men team are clowns.­ If you take Rooney & Ronaldo out of Man­ United's team what do you have? If you need proof­ look what happened against Everton. The real difference­ between the two teams is squad depth or lack of it in­ Liverpool's case. The owners have to spend some­ money if they are serious about winning the league.­ Everybody knows that Liverpool should have won the­ league by February but threw it away against the likes­ of Middlesborough.

    From Sahladine L, on Fri 8 May 9:35AM

  14. comment no. 8. You obviously know nothing about soccer­ or Liverpool. You state "I'm sure their­ trophy­ cabinet has a lot of dust but no­ trophies". Liverpool ARE the MOST SUCCESSFUL club­ in Britain! 5 European cups and 18 leagues. So how you­ can think their trophy cabinet is empty is amazing. Get­ your facts right before you post rubbish in future.­ Ignorance is not always bliss! FOOL.

    From Susan M, on Fri 8 May 9:25AM

  15. Keep talking Steven, that's really all you can do­ but it won't help you win the league. Manchester­ United have been through this before in the past with­ Arsenal and Chelsea & they have the experience to­ ensure they will be the winners of the title for the 18­ time and there is absolutely nothing Mr Gerrard can do­ about it.

    I'll send a can of Mr Sheen to Anfield­ as a consolation prize, as I'm sure their trophy­ cabinet has a lot of dust but no trophies. Another­ season of abject failure for the Scouse. Fantastic

    From Flipper, on Fri 8 May 9:13AM

  16. Same as last season, trophyless.... Mission impossible­ for u guys.. by the way gud luck for ur team, quit­ talking rubbish and start praying for ur team

  17. ref decisions have not helped us either. the divers­ that have come away with points from lf.c should be­ punished. we would still be in cl final only for drogs­ antics @ anfeild. get this man out of thepremier league­ and send him home to a team from a jail

    From Gerry, on Fri 8 May 8:55AM

  18. Gerrard pure class, Torres super player, the rest leave­ a lot to be desired. Saving grace for Liverpool, they­ can boost that they beat 2008/9 league champions twice.
