Liverpool Quotations

Manchester United and Liverpool have been bought with huge leverage, and we've got Roman Abramovich at Chelsea who can turn his loans into shares. It is really important for the Premier League to ask itself: if a club is being bought on such a mountain of debt, isn't that a possible recipe for disaster for the future?

Christ, he was paranoid about criticism. I used to say: why doesn't he worry about the team and forget what people are saying? He got Phil Thompson, who was a kid coming through when I was a Liverpool player, to have a go at me. So now I don't talk to him.

The only thing I want is the respect of the fans of Liverpool and the fans of the national team of Uruguay.

No money in this world could convince me to play for Liverpool. That's not a lack of respect for Liverpool supporters or the football club. It's respect for the Everton supporters. You just can't do that. It goes against everything that I stand for. No chance.

I always got a kick out of it when they called it the California Sound because it really came out of Liverpool and Greenwich Village.

I'm born in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpool supporter.

There are a lot of famous comedians from Liverpool, then obviously the Beatles, and the football club. That's what people in Liverpool are passionate about.

The great thing about coming from where I come from - Liverpool and my family - is that we're very close. I have a great relationship with my siblings and their kids.

In spite of the opinions of certain narrow-minded people, who would shut up the human race upon this globe, as within some magic circle it must never outstep, we shall one day travel to the moon, the planets, and the stars, with the same facility, rapidity, and certainty as we now make the voyage from Liverpool to New York!

Liverpool is a massive club in reputation, but as soon as I came here, it felt like Atletico to me. It is a working city, an honest city. The people work all week, and on Saturday they want to go to Anfield and watch the best team in the world.

I've done my coaching badges, I've got my Pro Licence, but I enjoy what I'm doing now. I'm also the elite performance director of the Welsh FA. The main thing for me was always Liverpool Football Club and my country, Wales - and I'm lucky enough to still be involved with both of them.

I was born in 1943 at Neston in the Wirral, not far from Liverpool where my father, Richard William Hunt was a lecturer in paleography, the study of mediaeval manuscripts.

I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness.

I don't want to give this impression that I grew up in Liverpool in a cardboard box in abject poverty, but that didn't mean there weren't anxieties in my childhood about money.

People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.

My family was going back to England to visit my mother's grandmother, who was very ill. We went up to Liverpool and I met my great-aunt, who was just a force of nature. She was an elocution teacher and a huge enthusiast for theater and the classics. I took her amateur acting class, and she was really impressed with me.

Liverpool will always be my home.

Once Liverpool had asked me to sign again, there was no hesitation.

When I emerged Liverpool had a tradition of their players working hard and playing hard, back before the Nineties and through all the glory era.

So I got to know the Liverpool character.

My first season at Liverpool had good moments but also bad ones. We played three tournaments and we played two finals, and that was good.

No one will underestimate Liverpool after a result like this,

I was sorry that Ken went off in a huff. I was just a fan in those days, with no aspirations other than for the team to win two or three in a row, and maybe knock off Liverpool or Arsenal in a cup game.

I coached Gary for many years and I was never aware of how strongly he felt. We played Liverpool plenty of times at junior level and Gary was no more hyped up than anyone else. It was later that he started getting in bits and pieces of bother and everyone became aware of what he thinks of Liverpool.

I am a very proud man today because all managers like to arrive at the best clubs and we know Liverpool is one of the most important clubs in the world,

But as we have consistently pointed out, this is much more than just a new ground for Liverpool Football Club. It has always been about the regeneration of north Liverpool and the benefits it will bring to a local community that desperately needs them.

I'm aiming to make it a double. I've won at Liverpool in Australia and now I'll try to do it at Royal Liverpool in Britain.

I have a fantastic respect for Liverpool the city, club and the fans, from the time I spent there. That respect will always be there.

If I'm going to do this, I want to do it in Liverpool first.

For me to get anywhere near him is a fantastic achievement and to surpass him by one - I'm delighted. I grew up an Everton fan but Kenny is a proper Liverpool legend and to get anywhere near him is fantastic.

We're obviously delighted. It's a combination of three years of a lot of hard work and a vindication and endorsement of the policy we adopted that we had to be very much a part of the community plan. We couldn't go ahead in isolation. I think the outcome will be very exciting, not just for us, but for North Liverpool as a whole if the whole plan comes together.

We looked good playing three strikers and I am not sure what the manager is going to do now. If I can keep scoring for Liverpool then hopefully the France manager will take note of what I am doing.

Kenny Dalglish was the greatest to play for Liverpool and Scotland, so for someone like that to sign me was an honour.

It absolutely breaks my heart, coming from Liverpool as I do, that I can't play a single Beatles song, absolutely drives me nuts.

It is never easy leaving Liverpool but if you are going to a big club that helps - and Aston Villa is a big club,

I think there is a line and Neville crossed it. I've heard people say it's justified because he gets a lot of stick from the Liverpool fans, but the truth is he gets the stick because he's been doing that for years. That's why it all started.

Last season people said Liverpool was not the best team in the Champions League and that made life easier for us because of the way teams prepared against us.

Last season I counted four fingers at them for the number of European Cups Liverpool had won. Next time, I can just stick my whole hand up.

Over the two games Liverpool fully deserved to go through,

Our first objective is to try to maintain the 0-0. That's all we need to eliminate Liverpool and that is what we are going to play for.

Paul was very good about the whole affair and said that if Inca Trail adapts to Liverpool and goes and does it, he could go very close. If he does, the credit's his, not ours.

Liverpool won the European Cup and they should have the right to defend their trophy. The champions should be involved but I think they should have to qualify like Brazil have to qualify for next year's World Cup.

Liverpool will always be special for me: my daughter was born here.

Liverpool were magnificent and we were poor in the first half. They had some outstanding performers, especially in central midfield, and while we hoped for a reaction from their recent travels, there wasn't one.

Liverpool was also concerned that making Harry travel all the way to Australia and back when it was clear he could not take part in the matches was not in his best interests.

Liverpool men are quite generous. I got a lovely necklace. It was really nice.

Liverpool is such a big club, and I was fortunate to be one of a select few to have played for them. It was an amazing time.

Liverpool have to make sure they have a long-term business plan and the people to back that up. A stadium is an investment, not a cost. It will pay back if you get it right.

Liverpool has 1,000 per graduating class. Laurens has 25. (The color guard brings) recognition to the school that they wouldn't get otherwise.

Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world, and the rivalry is massive. It's nice to play them, and even better to beat them.

Liverpool are his dream club. If I'd refused him this opportunity of fulfilling his ambition, it would not have been good for him or City.

Liverpool are his dream club and he wanted to leave and rejoin them. If I refused him this opportunity of fulfilling his ambition it would not be good for him or Manchester City. We wish him well for the future and thank him for his efforts.

I was in Liverpool city center and I thought I broke one of my toes, just by jumping on buses. I put my arm in the door on the outside, and the bus just drives away with me naked.

It doesn't matter whether you come from Bradford or whether you come from Liverpool or whether you come from London or... . It doesn't matter. All they have to hear is that British accent and they immediately think that you're brilliant beyond belief... . and talented beyond compare.

I suppose that's a downside but Liverpool wanted to defend the title, and if that has to be the case then so be it.

It disturbs me that Liverpool are not in the Champions League and fighting for the Premier League.

I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.

I think Liverpool generates generosity which rubs off - it's a good place to work and to party.

We could not get going against Liverpool and we take collective responsibility for that.

We know the situation we're in and the gap there is now. We're 10 points behind Liverpool and it will be very hard for us to make that up. We do have Liverpool and Spurs at home still, so hopefully we can make the gap smaller but we know how tough it will be now.

The pressure is on Manchester United to win the Premiership, but we felt we could win. While I still expect Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool to finish in the top four, maybe we are not far away.

We were just chasing the game and trying to do something about it. Liverpool picked us off at will...They were a far, far superior team on the night.

We are pleased that the Chiron Corp. has taken steps to address issues at their facility in Liverpool as they prepare for the upcoming flu season,

We were all waiting for Robbie to score his first goal back at Liverpool and it was a reward for his hard work.

Of course, Steven Gerrard is one of only a few Liverpool players who never get left out by Rafa; and even he doesn't always get picked.

The really big clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool will always be challenging year in year out,

Typical us, ... We just kick ourselves you know where. We have got to have a more professional performance over 90 minutes. Before the game I'm thinking a point is good, and it does stop that run of three defeats, but now I'm kind of disappointed with the way we gave away the goal. We have to look to get three points against Liverpool on Saturday so as to climb the league.

To captain Liverpool in any game is special, but to do it in a final, particularly an occasion like this, would be one of the proudest nights of my life,

We were the only black family in an estate with 1,000 white families. Liverpool being quite racist in the Sixties, it was a bit grim growing up.

We need to close the points gap and show we are moving in the right direction, to be right among them. If we can win a trophy it would mean everything to me to lift it as Liverpool captain. It would make me very proud.

Fingers crossed! It's obviously up to the Liverpool manager but everyone knows what I want.

We already know from experience what can happen if you lose concentration. Last season we were favourites against Liverpool in the quarter-finals and failed to reach the last four. A bad half, or even a bad 10 minutes in this competition can be fatal,

There is always a lot of debate but the reality is in six matches Liverpool have only beaten us once,

We've got a great record, 10 on the spin now with Man U losing (Saturday) as well but Liverpool are looking good and they've got two games in hand. We just need to keep plugging away and keep winning.

We gave Liverpool too much respect. They haven't been a free-scoring side lately, but once they get their noses in front they are difficult to break down.

East Liverpool gave us all we wanted tonight,

Age doesn't bother me, ... I played in the Premiership until I was 40, Gary McAllister was huge influence on Liverpool at 36, so I don't have a problem with that. It's about fitness, mental attitude, are you still hungry enough.

After losing to Liverpool and Blackburn it was going to be very tough today. Chelsea only needed a point and they got it.

Some people may have expected us to drop points at Liverpool or get beaten. We didn't do that, we won emphatically in the end which sends out a statement. A lot of talk comes when you're the champions. I remember back to Man United and Arsenal winning the league and people do have a go when you're top. The art of it is to be strong enough to use that to motivate and we did that. We showed our character and our strength.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself to think: have I really come this far? Because it is quite different, where I find myself today, from where I started off, in the streets of Waterloo, in the suburbs of Liverpool - that's for sure.

Oh yes, we've had some lovely gigs in the Liverpool area. They've been great.

A lot of people talked about Liverpool last season and said we were the worst Liverpool team for 40 years,

They go to Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United and set their stall to get a result so if it means playing 4-5-1, it's good for that team.

It was a special day for us because we were paying tribute to a Fulham legend and a football legend. It was great to round it off with two great goals and a wonderful display. I'm thrilled with the players. Liverpool had a lot of possession, but we were patient and when we attacked we did so with purpose.

Football is about having a winner and a loser. Liverpool is a great team, but the only thing that matters is the score.

It just happens to be like that. It doesn't make any difference to me. It's just worked out that way. I was pushing to be back for the Liverpool game and it was just a little bit too soon. So Sunday just happens to be one of my former clubs, and it's always nice to get a good reception from the fans. I got a good reception when I played there this season, and that was nice.

It is very nice that every so often my name is being linked with different clubs in Spain. But I can tell the Liverpool fans I have no intention of leaving. I have a five-year contract and intend to stay for it.

It's a very emotive day for Liverpool Football Club, and we understand that.

David has earned a wonderful move to Liverpool and it was impossible to stand in his way.

That kind of performance is just not acceptable for Liverpool Football Club,

Stevie is a good mate of mine. I was with him at Liverpool when we were kids,

I've had a fair time to judge the Liverpool people and I think they're tremendous.

I must have been dreaming about Albie. I spoke in a Liverpool accent all the time. It becomes second nature. It's much easier like that. It seems to me common sense rather than extraordinary.

If there is not to be a shared stadium it would be good to think that, in the future, the city of Liverpool would continue to a represent a major center for football excellence -- one which would boast two world-class facilities.

I know Michael Owen wanted to come here. I have got a good enough relationship with him to know that. That he didn't was down to Liverpool not making it happen, rather than Michael not wanting to come.

I think Alan just wants to say that the treatment from Liverpool and all the Manchester United staff has been fantastic. He was aware of what was going on to a certain degree and he just wanted to say thank you to everybody for that.

Christian Damiano has great experience with both Fulham and Liverpool so he knows the English game,

I can't stand Liverpool. I can't stand the people. I can't stand anything to do with them.

If I score against Liverpool I will not celebrate.
