Revealed: Steven Gerrard’s pulling technique


How to attract the ladies like a Liverpool captain

Steven Gerrard and Alex Curran

One would imagine that a handsome devil like Steven Gerrard would have to beat the ladies off with a shit-covered stick, but the Liverpool star has revealed that he played the role of a nightclub tail chaser in his youth.

Instead of targeting the top talent and facing the possibility of humiliating rejection, Gerrard says he used to focus his energies on the more aesthetically challenging members of the opposite sex. “Go ugly, avoid the rush,” was the maxim he lived by when single.

Day-glo WAG Alex Curran must be delighted by this sexy admission.

Steven Gerrard explains how close Liverpool were to the title


The foundations of the new “this is our year” argument emerge

Steven Gerrard scored twice when Hull held Liverpool at Anfield

This time last year you couldn’t move for Liverpool fans claiming that if they had beaten Manchester United twice they would have won the league - flawed logic considering Chelsea and Arsenal would still have finished above them.

Over the past 12 months they have done the double over the champions - overcoming Chelsea twice too for good measure - yet have still come up short. Luckily, Steven Gerrard has provided a new “what if” scenario to keep

The Spoiler’s top ten Premiership games of 2008/09


The games that have made this season worth watching

Now that Manchester Utd have pretty much put the final nail in the coffin of the 2008/09 Premier League title race, it’s high time that we start peddling out some end of season lists. Accordingly, here is a top ten of the campaign’s most entertaining matches, which somehow includes a game involving West Brom…

#10: West Brom 3 - 2 West Ham, 13th September

West Brom 3 - 2 West Ham

Gianfranco Zola must have been wondering what he’d signed himself up for, watching his first West Ham game from the stands before taking over as manager. A game with a neutral-baiting mix of awful defending and open attacking play, both teams managed to lose their lead twice before an 83rd minute West Brom counter attack saw Chris Brunt sprint free of the Hammers’ defence and clinically place one inside the far post.

#9: Fulham 0 - 0 Sunderland, 18th October

Fulham 0 - 0 Sunderland

Sunderland’s early visit to Craven Cottage should go down as the best goalless game of the season. Fulham’s goalmouth literally took a battering. Kieron Richardson, taking time off from his usual job of lying on a physio’s table somewhere, had his 25-yard free-kick bounce between the posts twice (before having another free-kick goal disallowed) and Djibril Cisse’s rasping long ranger was saved by the crossbar. However, the Cottagers created their own opportunities in the back-and-forth battle, with Zoltan Gera having a shot cleared off the line from Pascal Chimbonda before spurning his team’s best chance with a Carragher-esque air kick.

#8: Fulham 2 - 0 Manchester Utd, 21st March
