HE'S OFF

STEVEN Gerrard this afternoon delivered the news every Reds fan was dreading - he wants to leave the club. For futher info, pls refer to the following links: http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0500liverpoolfc/ http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N149253050705-1435.htm I'm kinda expecting this from him. I like this man the moment i saw him played his first game. I remembered going down to Peninsular Plaza to get a new jersey with his name behind. At that time, not alot of people know who he was. The shopkeeper even laughed at me when i told him i want to print GERRARD on the back of my jersey. "Who? Gerrard??? Don't waste your money lah" I remembered clearly the shopkeeper's respond. I walked out of the shop with my head up and never went back after that. Years later, this young lad i admired had grown to be England's finest gem. And i'm so proud of him cos he's playing for my club... Liverpool FC. Throughout the years, i see him shine. He had his ups and downs but he never failed to deliver on the pitch. He showed his loyalty by staying with the team even thou we are going thru a rough patch during Houllier's reign. He kept his faith and stayed at Anfield last season even thou Michael-no trophy-n-i'll leave-Owen decide to desert us. But today, he has finally made up his mind to leave his beloved club, the club that feed and groom him to be the player he is today. What a disappointment. Remembered what he said that night in Istanbul? "How can i ever leave after a night like this?" Yah, how could you Gerrard? You have broken the hearts of millions of LFC supporters today! And your decision to leave after making such a big hoohaa had utterly turned me off. You have disgrace not only the club, but also yourself. You can choose to leave as a legend. Too bad, you chose to leave as a villain. I'm not sad that you chose to leave, i just felt disgusted. Nevermind, there are tonnes of players out there dying to put on the LFC jersey. We did it without Owen, i'm sure we can also do it without you just as long as we have the master tactician with us. Thanks for sticking with us (willingly or unwillingly) during the bad times. All the best for your future endeavours.
