GERRARD BLASTS WINNER JOSE

Steven Gerrard has told Jose Mourinho to stop harping on about the goal which settled the teams' last semi-final meeting in the UEFA Champions League two years ago.

Liverpool won the match at Anfield 1-0 courtesy of an infamous goal from Luis Garcia, with replays suggesting the ball had not crossed the line.

Mourinho has made reference to the incident again in the build up to the teams' meeting next week, with Gerrard describing the boss's continued complaints as 'ridiculous'.

"Chelsea moaned about it at the time. Mourinho still does. I laugh," Gerrard told the News of the World.

"Chelsea's complaints are ridiculous. If it wasn't a goal, Petr Cech would have been red carded for bringing down Milan Baros. What would Chelsea have made of that?

"All this bollocks about it not being a penalty, a sending off or a goal. Who cares? The ref gave it. End of story."

Editor's Notes

Its been two long years since the 'controversial Luis Garcia goal that eliminates ChelSKeA in the Champions League semi-final, but it seems that MOANrinho still got the blues.

And its about time that someone tells him to put a sock in it. When will the ChelSKeA ranks learn how to accept defeat with a little humility? Instead of whining about for the umpteenth time, MOANrinho should be honoured to have had his team being eliminated by the eventual Champions.

Had the referee blown his whistle and point to the penalty spot, Peter Cech would have been red-carded. And what are the chances that Steven Gerrard will not convert the spot kick? A full strength ChelSKeA team couldn't find the net over 180 minutes during that occasion, what are the chances that had Cech been sent off, ChelSKeA could have done better?

If ChelSKeA want the feel of the Champions League trophy, all they need is to ask and I am sure Liverpool, will even let them take some souvenirs photos with it when they visit Anfield.

Its way beyond time,to let the matter rest once and for all.
