The League Cup was worth winning back then

[The Lusophone]

Wasn't it the Worthington Cup back then?

[Ant]

Coca Cola i think.

[brenchill]

Think Blackburn won the Worthington Cup. We won the Coca-Cola. Think it was the "Milk" Cup in the 70's

When I were a lad Ovaltine was only for sailors and ladies of the night. Cheeky young whippersnapper.

Even Werthers weren't original in Lukes day.

I heard he cut the ribbon at the opening of Stonehenge

Coca-Cola Cup was my first memory, then Worthington, Carling and Capital One in my lifetime I think!

Podolski is off to Inter on loan until the end of the season apparently.

To be fair Nerf, Gerrard is much better off personally playing every week in a team competing for the MLS title than sitting on the bench at Liverpool.

He's probably my favourite player of the last 15 years but it does make sense for him to go, I'd just rather see him retire a Liverpool player.

That's the thing, though, he's not better off. He's literally choosing quantity over quality. He would rather run himself into the ground than go out gracefully. It's just a move that makes far less sense than it should. This isn't how his career was supposed to end, and I'm gutted that my favourite player of all time is somewhat tarnishing his legacy for the sake of notching a couple more minutes.

Ah come on, he isn't tarnishing his legacy at all. Him playing a season or two in the MLS takes absolutely nothing away from his Liverpool career, not at all. We all know he's past his best now anyway, a great deal of top players end their careers away from the club they made their name for. Pele, the man considered the greatest of all time, ended his career with the New York Cosmos after spending 20 years at Santos. I don't see anyone saying that ruined the perception of him as a Santos/Brazil/footballing legend.

Steven Gerrard wants to carry on playing competitive football every week, and he can do it living in a nice, warm country for a couple of years taking it a bit easier with his family. It makes perfect sense.

[EddieG]

The only people that care about a "legacy" are the fans, real passionate footballers just want to play no matter what.

Ben Arfa to Nice DONE DEAL

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Some Maltese club by the name of Hibernians have offered Ched Evans a contract.

[Ant]

Apparently Liverpool want to re-sign Gerrard on loan from the MLS

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Southampton, and David Moyes' Sociedad, apparently want to sign him as well if he decides against going to America. Safe to say he's got options.

[Hobo]

Apparently Liverpool want to re-sign Gerrard on loan from the MLS

This doesn't even make sense

He's not officially signed for anyone and is still a Liverpool player until the end of the season.

Defoe to Leicester instead of QPR is doing the rounds on The Guardian.
