Gerrard this, Gerrard that.
The press, Sky, Talksport, all they are doing is talking about Gerrard. Yeah he's been a great player for Liverpool, but so what ? I have never seen so much fuss being made over a player that leaving their club. Gary Neville, Giggs, Scholes, all 3 of these never received anything near the amount of coverage Gerrard is getting and they made a bigger impact on the Premier League than Gerrard has ever done.
There is another player who is leaving the Premier League at the end of the season and has actually had a better career and actually won a lot more than Gerrard and that person is Frank Lampard. I haven't read anything about him in the papers or heard his name mentioned once on Sky or Talksport.
Saint Stevie-Me is just another player who is leaving his club, the day he leaves will actually be great, maybe we can finally move on from all of this over the top praise and ass kissing.

Gerrard hasn't always been surrounded by the quality that United and Chelsea possessed when the other players you mention were winning their medals year-in, year-out - and the trophies Liverpool did win more often than not had been massively influenced by Gerrard.
Sometimes, you've got to look beyond the team and see the man.
Yeah, nearly 10 years ago. And he isn't the only one who has massively influenced the result of cup finals. Drogba was doing that year after year for Chelsea.
The praise is over the top. He's just another footballer, and not even one of the best of his position.
Other than that suck it up, not everything is about the team you support.
I wonder if the ref would have the bottle to send him off if he committed a red card offence?
You are making yourself look very, very small.
Do you even read ? You can clearly see i mentioned Giggs, Scholes and Neville. All of them played for a team i don't support.
No, just pointing out that the media are a bunch of ass kissers. They always make Gerrard out to be so great when he really isn't. There was even excuses for his red card against United.
It's pathetic how they treat him like some sort of god of football.
It's the last time Gerard will ever (insert mundane dross here)......
This long goodbye has been so drawn out I really couldn't care less about it now.
I am sorry I wanted to post gr8 b8 m8 r8 8/8 but realised it was just a hate thread thus
Gr8 h8 m8 r8 8/8
Moving swiftly on...
As has been said, if you're not interested, don't visit places where you're going to see it.
Gerrard has been a sensational player, as was Lampard, Scholes, Neville, etc..
Struggling to understand why people have a problem with this, to be honest.
But that shouldn't and doesn't diminish Gerrard himself, nor does it mean the praise is unjustified. Neville, Scholes, Giggs, Lampard are rightly regarded as the great players that they were, or still are, in Lampard's case. They aren't overshadowed by Gerrard. In fact whenever Gerrard is mentioned you always get some idiots mentioning someone (usually Giggs, or any crappy player with a single league medal) as a way to mock Gerrard's lack of Premier League titles. He's a bit of a media favourite but I wouldn't say he's overrated. He's rightly highly regarded by fans, including rival fans, and other professionals in the game.
Gerrard might go to sleep at night, crying into his Champions League trophy over his missing Premier League winners medal, but equally Jose Mourinho goes to bed crying over never having been able to manage Steven Gerrard.
The press/media have bigged him up to a level where you would think he was undroppable, never mind expendable. Every 10 yard pass, every run, every shot on goal, eulogised like God himself was doing it. The fans saw it coming and the media have been made to look very silly.
As for TalkShite, they were seriously talking about Kane to Utd today. Give me a break! They should have been discussing Tuilagi beating up a cop and getting a £5k fine!
Well he isn't. He's a very good player but there have been tons better plenty of better players over the years.
This is the kind of thing that bugs me. He get's praised for everything. I have seen him have some bang average games but he manages to somehow get massive praise for hitting one long range pass.
The media are that obsessed with him that they even make articles about Gerrard's Liverpool career in sticker's.

Although if you think this week has been irritating, just think how bad it would have been if Liverpool were in the FA Cup Final (it's on his birthday you know...), or God forbid, they'd won the league last year.
It's just hate or what ever it is that blinds you but you won't admit it.
^This^......Thank you Aston Villa
But I think the main reason it might seem a bit OTT at the moment is because they just don't have much else to write about. The title was tied up ages ago, Champions League spots are sorted and there are only so many relegation articles you can write when two of the places are sorted. The journos are just filling their column inches, simple as that.
Yaya Toure with no votes he should not have been picked he hasn't done enough for a long period of time, Keane and Vieira getting some votes too.
A few days ago it was Kevin Pietersen, now that appears to be forgotten. Next week it will be something different.
