I watched it via the download links. What's up with Carra's dads gob? Looks like he's popped a few E's before the interview, jaw all over the shop

[Roboklopp]

Was ace that programme the other night, he did come across brilliantly. Like someone said above when he & his Pa disagree, I defo believed Carra- the "battering" for a start.

Watching this- followed by the Great Teams programme on LFC really calmed me down after the stress of WHam game.

It was a great programme about him, makes you realise how good he was.

No one's mentioned that it couldn't have been easy for him changing teams from being a boyhood Evertonian to become a Liverpool player. I know he said that anyone would do it given the chance to play for a big team but still hard nonetheless.

Has a great respect for where he grew up, his youth and his upbringing. His dad has some mad gnashers though, really white teeth too but I couldn't understand half the **** he was saying!

As for Carragher, he is a true LFC legend. Scouser born and bred and he ****ing loves this club. His hop, skip and jump and him running towards the fans when we won the penalty shoot out in 2005 will be something I will never forget.

Feel sorry for him that he may miss out on us winning the league, devastating for him if that happens.

Carra and Fergie: The Liverpool FC legend on his battles with Man United boss to influence refs and their mutual admiration

20:00, 18 May 2015
By Andy Mitten

'I’d always go to the referee before he got to the tunnel at half-time because I knew Alex Ferguson would be waiting for him at the top of the steps. I’d say to him: “You’re a grown man, you’re not going to let him bully you again are you?”'



Jamie Carragher says he tried to stop Sir Alex Ferguson influencing referees

A chance encounter with Jamie Carragher in March brought about a bizarre conversation where the Liverpool legend explained that he’d been caught buying a copy of United We Stand at Manchester Airport earlier in the season.

“I’ve always read the fanzines of rival clubs because they tell you more about what’s going on at a club,” explained Carragher. “They’ll know stuff that the mainstream media won’t go near. I’ve bought the Everton fanzine When Skies Are Grey. I’ve picked up United We Stand going through airports. I picked one up in earlier this season before a flight and went to the till where you swipe your copy. A man there was helping being at the cash point and he saw me with it.”

“What are you buying that for?” he asked. People looked at me. I didn’t know whether to put it down and run out, but I just bought it.

I want United to lose every game but I can't pretend they haven't had brilliant teams


“We’d like to interview you for United We Stand,” I told him.

He agreed, we met a few weeks later and he talked for ages in a wide-ranging interview which we printed over two issues. It was a risk. Liverpool players are not popular among United fans, but apart from one reader ripping out the pages with Carragher’s interview on Sir Matt Busby Way, the reaction has been overwhelming positive – not that Carragher pandered at all to United fans.

“Let’s get this clear,” he said. “I want Man United to lose every single time they play. In the league, in the cups. I get wound up when United win and I’m pleased when they lose. I’d be lying if I said different. I’m sure United We Stand readers feel exactly the same about Liverpool and I wouldn’t change that. But I can’t pretend that United haven’t had brilliant teams and players.”
I'd try to get to the referee before Fergie could

Interesting is Carragher’s relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson. When they were playing and managing, that relationship consisted of the defender haranguing the referee before Ferguson could get to him at Anfield.

“I’d always go to the referee before he got to the tunnel at half-time because I knew Alex Ferguson would be waiting for him at the top of the steps,” he explained. “I would have known what Fergie had said in the press the day before the game so I’d say to the referee: “You’re a grown man, you’re not going to let him bully you again are you?”

“If Fergie said something I’d come back with something at him. I was basically trying to drown out what he was saying or even it up in the referee’s head.”

I got to spend two hours with Fergie talking about football, he was brilliant

Yet when Carragher retired, he received a letter from Ferguson.

“Which was nice,” admits the Scouser. “I’ve still got it at home. He was a one-off manager, one of the greats of world football. I always respected him, right back from what he did at Aberdeen.”

So what did the letter say?

“Fantastic career, well done. Always admired you and your background and where you’ve come from.”

Carragher replied.

“Michael Owen got his address for me as it wasn’t on the letter. I’d read his first autobiography and really enjoyed it. I said that. I also said at the end, ‘You only live half an hour away, I’d never really spoke to you but I’d love to sit down and talk to you about football one day’. He got my number off Owen and texted me to arrange.

“We met in a hotel in Manchester and he gave me a couple of hours of his time. We spoke about football in general. He was brilliant.”
