matthew got this off an everton board. a liverpudlian sent his evertonian friend this (wow we're not the only ones trespassing across that line)

this says everything we feel... tis perfect. hats off to the writer
"...it's just starting to sink in and it f*ing stinks. To see him in another shirt will be like having your heart ripped out. It was different with McManaman, he was always going, Fowler's best days were behind him and Owen for some reason never reached legend status. But Gerrard, he's everything. To see him go is unbelievable..."

Heartbreaking... I thought, that if the world broke into pieces, that if the Apocalypse came, and Mount Doom had devil spawn everywhere, that of all people, Steven Gerrard would still be there, wearing his #8 red shirt, and his captain armband, waving the Liverpool crest. I thought it hurt when I come back from England Michael Owen says he's leaving, but Stevie, it's.. i don't have words. He IS Liverpool. I just hope to Iluvatar and every other deity out there that the club doesn't crumble, like Carragher and Finnan ditching as well. Please say something Stevie. You say it hurts to leave. You know what you've done to us? What happened to us being the best fans ever? Twelfth man, remember? Kept you running 90 minutes. You said that working out didn't help; we did.

Some guy supposedly chained him to Anfield. I wanna join him. Stupid Evertonians suggested sarcastically to hold a sign that says: Love is greater than money.

Other than the fact that I refuse to believe that he's leaving for money, tis true. Your boyhood club. Your club for life. Fourteen years means nothing to you, does it Steven?
