It struck me a long time ago that Gerrard just wants to go somewhere else. As someone who has moved round the country before coming home, I can understand that - sometimes you just want to experience somewhere else. I honestly think that his statement about wanting to win things was simply a neat get out of jail card (who could dispute that he should have a rack of medals to his name?) that backfired spectacularly when we won the European Cup. These lies about a training ground bust up are a different tactic, this time used by SFX, to get him out of the club without making it look like his decision. Why he couldn't simply say, "Look, I love Liverpool but I fancy a change of scene" I do not know - granted, it wouldn't have exactly endeared him to the fans, but the honesty would be have been appreciated more than this fucking circus he was leading.
The thing I will never understand is why on Earth would he want to play for Chelsea? Has he forgotten what kind of people he'll be playing in front of? These are the Burberry clad Sun readers who carry Cross of St George flags and sport bulldog tattoos. The same fans who didn't open their horrible Home County mouths until the 78th minute of the Carling Cup Final. The same ones who seemed unaware that their team was in a European Cup Semi Final and sat there mute for 180 minutes. If I remember correctly - and I do - these people sung, "You'll never play for Chelsea". Ok, it's just a song, but they must have been aware that he could have been playing for them before too long.
And let's also not forget Mourinho, his potential boss. Didn't he say at the end of last season (well, the day before the semi actually) that he didn't want Gerrard in his team and that he wasn't good value for money? Didn't he also tap up Ashley Cole and then throw him to the Lions when they all got nicked? I'm not even going to mention Kenyon.
If he wants to go, which he does, then fair enough, he is allowed to play (and live) where he wants - maybe Liverpool isn't glam enough for him and his Barbie doll anymore. But why he would go and work for the single most cuntish team in Britain is beyond me.

Bit puzzled as to what you can do with £120,000 a week say that you can't do with £100,000 a week. Actually I'm just a bit puzzled as to how you can ever ever ever ever need that much.
He would be perfect for Spurs. We need a goal-scoring midfielder and I reckon him or Michael Ballack would be perfect. Playing in the "Champions" League can't be that great can it?

From the BBC:
Gerrard in shock Liverpool U-turn
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has had a dramatic change of heart and decided to stay at Anfield.
The 25-year-old told Liverpool he wanted to leave after contract negotiations broke down.
Chelsea looked set to land Gerrard after having an initial £32m bid rejected by Liverpool.
But Gerrard has another change of heart after talks with chief executive Rick Parry, who said: "He realises how much the club means to him."
Gerrard is now expected to sign the new contract on offer worth £100,000-a-week, a deal he initially snubbed.
Chelsea will be bitterly disappointed at the development after failing to land Gerrard in similar fashion last summer, when he was on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge only to pull out at the last minute.
Parry had admitted defeat in the battle to keep Gerrard at Liverpool on Tuesday, but emerged on Wednesday morning to reveal the sensational twist.
He said: "Stevie's decided to stay. It's a little bit like last year, only even more dramatic.
"In the language he used to us, he never said he wanted to go. He never said 'I wanted to go'.
"I think in the last 24 hours he has reflected on it, he's thought it through and he wants to stay.
"There were lots of late-night phone calls and early morning phone calls. I couldn't be more delighted. It is what we wanted all along."
And he added he expected no problems over the new contract, saying: "I think that's already hammered out. I don't think there is an issue with that any more."
Gerrard's discontent is believed to have sprung from a feeling that he was not wanted at Liverpool because of delays over agreeing a new contract.
And Parry admitted: "I've apologised to Stevie if I have misread his emotions."
wonder if Stevie will apologise to the fans for fucking with their emotions?

"I had the whole of yesterday to think about my decision and what I was doing. I turned off my phone and my television and went through it all in my head again," said Gerrard.
"After considering everything that's gone on, I just couldn't go through with it and leave this club. I never said I wanted to leave in the first place, but I'd felt I was being backed into a corner and had to push things on.
"I know it was going to look as though I wanted to go, but at one stage I thought I had no choice. When I thought about it more, I just wanted to stay.
"I admitted I've made mistakes and the club has acknowledged they've made some mistakes as well. But now we've sorted it out and I'm doing what I wanted to do all along, which is stay at Liverpool."
He added: "I've now apologised to Liverpool and they've apologised to me, which is important. I was left feeling so confused yesterday. I was receiving all kinds of advice and information from so many people, but I just had to sit down with my girlfriend and advisor and think it all through again for myself. I was just thinking 'how have we got into this mess and what's the best way out of it?'. I knew I had to do what I'd intended doing all along and sign a new contract.
"I made the decision last night that I couldn't leave this club. I love Liverpool so much. This is my club. My heart is with Liverpool. I don't need to tell anyone that. Everyone who knows me can see how I feel. The last thing I wanted to do was leave, I just couldn't do it."
Gerrard understands the feelings the fans have experienced over the past 24 hours as they contemplated the thought of their hero moving to Chelsea.
"My relationship with the supporters has always been fantastic and I knew a lot of people would be disappointed if I'd decided to go. I thought about the fans and the future," Gerrard said.
"As I'd said all along, I never wanted to leave. I don't want to go into details now about what happened over the last few weeks because the most important thing now is we can sort it out.
"I'm going to sign a new contract and, like I've always done, will be doing everything possible to make Liverpool successful again.
"It's been a bit of a mess but now we can sort it out and move forward. As I've said, we can all learn things from this.
"Now we all want to look forward."
