According to excerpts from his new book, he was allegedly after Lucas Neill (bit hazy on some specifics as I only heard it on't radio) culminating in two of his mates spotting Neill in the Trafford Centre and ringing him up to see if they should do the deed. The excerpt suggests that had someone else not been present who would have recognised the attackers, it would have been given the OK...Lord Kangana wrote:Something new to me Worthy, whats the gen?

Aye, allegedly a couple of his mates wanted to beat up Lucas Neill after he broke Carra's leg, spotted him in the Trafford Centre and rung up Carra asking if he wanted them to do it. Apparently it was called off because David Thompson was with Neill at the time, or somesuch.

I think that was the crux of the matter, yes. Constantly being played as a midfielder when you're a centre-half probably didn't help matters, nor being left out in favour of luminaries like Wes Brown and perma-crock Ledley King. I believe those would've had a large deal to do with his decision to quit.Lord Kangana wrote:"veiled hostility" roughly translated as "p*ssed off cos not considered good enough"?
IIRC Carragher also spoke fondly of the time he tried to injure Rigobert Song in training because he reckoned Song didn't think Carragher was international class (which he isn't).
Never has three extracts from a book made someone look as much of a c*nt as those. What a coward of a man. Wasn't prepared to fight for his place in the England side, or indeed fight Song or Lucas Neill.

Don't know - Roy Keane's puts him up there. Deliberately injuring Haaland. As just one example of his intense cowardice and tw@tishness - along with walking out on his country because they wouldn't give him preferential superstar treatment, stamping on players on the ground, hiding behind the referee in case they retaliate, and so on.Tombwfc wrote:IIRC Carragher also spoke fondly of the time he tried to injure Rigobert Song in training because he reckoned Song didn't think Carragher was international class (which he isn't).

Not defending the abominable Carragher, mind, merely pointing out that there is at least one other person in the world of football who's as bad...

Of course it would suit you. It would also suit Stevie Me, too. His recent whinge about "only ever being played five times in my favoured position" suggests to me his favourite position is in front of a water carrier, playing as The Best Kid In The Playground. In the world of Stevie, England < Liverpool < Ego. Which is fine when he's retiring from internationals but possibly not if he thinks he can't win a league title with your lot. Not that he'd ever consider leaving again, would he?blurred wrote:Would suit me down to the ground if true. Don't see it as particularly likely, though - he's never had a great deal of contempt for the international side in the same way that Carragher often let slip his veiled hostility to the whole thing.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:I'm hearing whispers that would doubtless cheer up our Rafa no end - that Stevie G is considering "retiring" from international football
Constantly? How many times did he play in midfield? You can't claim he wasn't involved and then claim, perhaps ludicrously, that he was "constantly" played in midfield. So which excuse is it?blurred wrote:Constantly being played as a midfielder when you're a centre-half probably didn't help matters, nor being left out in favour of luminaries like Wes Brown and perma-crock Ledley King.
As it is I have quite a lot of time for Carra. And if Gerrard retires at least we won't have Henry Winter tw*tting on about him in every England piece, whether he's played or not. I see he might be fit for Saturday's game against that other set of self-obsessed red twunts. There's a shock.

Aye, did notice that he'd been counting about where he'd played for England and when (or got someone to count for him). Gerrard does like to be in a key position and doesn't like to be marginalised by playing on the left, which has happened often enough for England, because despite the fact that he's not left-footed, he's arguably England's best player out there (well, behind Joe Cole, who I'd've had there every game for years). For Liverpool I'd rather see him on the right, but that's another debate entirely. Would he walk again? Perhaps, but he's got life pretty sweet at Liverpool and don't see why he'd move in the near future (American cock-ups notwithstanding).Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Of course it would suit you.

When he was picked (going back to his early-mid twenties) he was often played in that defensive midfield role that they wanted to shoehorn him into, or more often at full-back. Towards the end of his international 'career' when he was arguably one of the two best centre halves in England he was consistently overlooked, which when part of the Terry/Ferdinand axis is understandable, but when people like Brown and King and the likes get picked ahead of him I can hardly blame him for wanting away.
I'd quite possibly prefer him not to play on Saturday - while he's our best player, he's also shit out of every game against the Mancs for years. Hasn't had a good game against them since he crashed that rasper in against Barthez back in '02 was it?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:As it is I have quite a lot of time for Carra.

No he'll encourage some other Liverpool player to do a newspaper article/column to say how much they'd appreciate Stevie being there all the time and not away on international duty...Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:I don't believe Rafa will be actively persuading SG to retire, but nor will he try to talk him out of it
