Steven Gerrard

[pondus]

Imagine the irony if he missed the last game of the season and we won it, with him picking up the trophy in his full kit.


Ok, I know it's not possible to be suspended for the last game, but the thought chuckled me.

Red card?

We should have a knock on wood smilie...

[dom9]

Yep, I realised that one after I posted. And yes, we definitely need more smilies.

[Fosterbloke]

Did Gerrard play against Spurs?

[Shaggy]

No.

[bradsdad]

i know its wrong but i would be tempted to pick up a yellow against sunderland miss the spurs west ham games to make sure stevie is available for the city chelsea games ... he is bound to get another yellow and miss at least either city or chelsea

[PTP]

the funny thing is - this talk of him 'picking up' a yellow card like it's on purpose has made me laugh....

i'm convinced he'll get booked tomorrow - and he won't be on purpose....it's just the position he now plays, a defensive/holding mid will, at some point during a game, be required to make a tackle that stops a counter attack and accept the yellow as taking one for the team.

just look at lucas for example - booked every game

wrong, but every other top club would do it to ensure stevie will be available for the crunch games.
silly not to imho.

Lucas has actually only had about 40 bookings in 236 appearances.

I do agree though, he is likely to pick up a booking. He's been lucky not to see red recently, someone like Lucas may not have been so fortunate.

na surely not - it felt like lucas got booked every week - i even remember one game, he hadn't got booked, it was a comfortable win, and then in the last minute he tripped up someone on purpose....just to get his booking - he ****ing loves it he does

[RedReet]

Aye, on here it felt like he got booked every week, along with the 100 fouls he made every game.

it must be that little cherub face, cute smile and curly hair that you just want to ruffle your fingers through that melts a referee's heart and gets him off a defo yellow.
the cheeky little scamp

Needs to flex those 'England captain perks' to the refs, but as you say, it's possible that's what's already kept him picking up those second yellows is a couple games recently.

[Gibbo]

I'd have him take a yellow.

Id rather have him for Chelsea/City then Spurs

We'll demolish Spurs no problem without Stevie, I agree he should take a yellow tomorrow because as you say we'll need him for City/Chelsea.

I hope you're right. They aren't as poor as some think imo.
