"I wasn't born with a silver spoon; I had a silver shovel"

"Everyone who works for Liverpool makes as important a contribution as me because they work for Liverpool"

"Player plus environment equals behaviour"




Man, he's a ****ing idiot.
"Rodgerisms" will enter the language. Also showed he has a great line in oxymorons,

"I want it relaxed but focussed"

But for sheer dramatic irony I think we have a winner,

"It's going to take something incredible for him to leave the football club"

Guess who he was talking about...?

In the world of football, this counts as a well-balanced, modest individual, no?

So nervous, feel ill. Why do I look forward to games against Arsenal, City and Chelsea but find the thought of a game with Liverpool unbearable?
