Houllier couldn’t deal with players expressing any anger or questioning any of his decisions
football hate talking
I hate talking about football. I just do it, you know?
goal matter mark
A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.
retirement player games
I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.
real men leaving
It sounds mercenary and it smacks of rats leaving the sinking ship. But get real, when everyone is bailing out, you don't want to be the last man standing.
christmas kids first-love
If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.
player thinking shadow
The best player EVER (Leo Messi) without a shadow, if you didn't think/know already...
thinking careers hands
I sometimes think I've needed a bit of an arm around me in my career - which I've not always got from certain managers and coaches who didn't understand me.

To say that I haven't been motivated to play is absolute nonsense.
kids thinking england
I don't really think kids care much these days - they just tell you to f*** off.

If you pray for things, I am proof that they can happen. I want to repay the manager's faith in bringing me back. (on re-signing for Liverpool)

Stuart is good for Manchester City. It is not hard to see his passion for the game, and his commitment. (on Stuart Pearce)
england honest frightening
Honest to god, I'm so happy it's frightening! I'm just so chuffed - that's all I can say. (on playing for Liverpool again)
hate kids thinking
I used to hate Ian Rush when I was young, because I was a devout Evertonian in those days, and he seemed to score every time Liverpool played against us. It's strange to think he used to support Everton too when he was a kid. He was brilliant to me at Anfield always giving me good advice.
