Gerrard: "If it wasn't for Chelsea and Man City I'd have 2 or 3 league titles now"

Waaaah waaaaah waaaaah
By the way, how on earth have City denied Liverpool a league title? Were Liverpool somehow contenders last year that I didn't know about?

Because Chelsea and Man City have been bought which allowed them to buy big players.
Otherwise Liverpool could of won one maybe.

Stupid comment really, if it wasn't for Man Utd we would have won the premier league probably 3 or 4 times since the early 90s.
By that logic.

Other teams would have won titles before Liverpool had it not been for Cashsea and Monopoly City

Dumbass logic. He somehow forgot about United. They've only finished ahead of us once in the last 20 years. smh!

It's quite obvious from the comments in this thread that most of you haven't actually read the actual interview before posting.
Many posters on this forum are nothing if not predictable in their oversimplifications and reactions.

Re: Gerrard: "If it wasn't for Chelsea and Man City I'd have 2 or 3 league titles now"
That's taken way out of context.
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/national-sport/2012/10/03/gerrard-title-not-impossible-dream-100252-31960814/#ixzz28NQC3D5m
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard knows time is running out for him to end his career-long search for a league title but remains hopeful it is not an impossible quest.
The 32-year-old is confident he will play on beyond the end of his current contract, which expires at the end of next season, but accepts factors are loaded against him to win the championship.
Gerrard said: "I'm not really one who looks back, I look forward, and I am never going to give up fighting for the title. But I'm realistic about where the team is at the moment and how much hard work and improvement needs to be done if we are to compete for it. Have I got the time on my side? No. Is it impossible? No."
He added: "I know I am good enough to play in a side to win the league and I know I am a good enough player to win the league but sometimes stuff is out of your control."
Gerrard has been at Liverpool since the age of nine and although he had offers to leave - twice turning down Chelsea - he has remained loyal to Liverpool, a decision for which he has been criticised.
"I have no regrets over the decisions I have made," said the England international at the launch of his new book My Liverpool Story.
"I am really happy I stayed. I am the captain of the club I love and this club means more to me than any other club out there.
"Of course I'd love a Premier League winner's medal and that may have happened if I'd moved clubs but would that league title mean as much to me as the other trophies I've won here? No - fact."
Since Liverpool ran United so close in 2009 in the Premier League title race the club's fortunes have taken a significant dip, having finished seventh, sixth and eighth. That combined with the emergence of other clubs has made the Reds' task of regaining a top-four spot, never mind challenging for the title, even more difficult.
"It is no good us worrying about the power of Chelsea and Manchester City," said Gerrard. "But there is no two ways about it, if there was no Roman Abramovich (Chelsea owner) or the guy (Sheikh Mansour) who bought Manchester City I'd have two or three league titles sitting here now."

he still said whats in the headline of the op anyways so its really irrelevant tbh.
in anycase hes wrong, since city became legit liverpool have not been title challengers and since chelsea came along united have always been above them.

Re: Gerrard: "If it wasn't for Chelsea and Man City I'd have 2 or 3 league titles now"
I think Gerrard meant that had Chelsea and City not been bought by oil tycoons they'd be around Spurs, Newcastle, Everton good not where they are now. So basically that would've left only United and Arsenal to fight with for the title, and rationally that would've increased our chances to around %33 to win it every season. And Torres would still be with us if Cheslea wasn't rich . We were also strongly linked with Silva and Mata, don't forget that. So basically without Chelsea and City, Liverpool would be one of the more attractive places for players to go to. I agree with Stevie

No way he'd have league titles, although CL football would be a different matter.

Re: Gerrard: "If it wasn't for Chelsea and Man City I'd have 2 or 3 league titles now"
He's referring to the spending power increasing overall player prices and wages, thus pricing Liverpool out of realistically being challengers. Chelsea and City are simply examples of that. In that sense, he's very much correct.
Again, it's worth reading the actual interview before jumping in.

Sensational assists for a player who is a "tactical donkey", "finished", "done at top level", etcc
