Last time Liverpool won anything

I remember idiots on here and elsewhere genuinely believing he missed it on purpose.

How do you know he didn't? Would you describe Gerrard as a model professional?

Because it would have been by far the pinnacle of his career, he was probably more gutted about it than any of the fans

In hindsight it would have been. But we'll never know what he was thinking that day. He may have thought he was onto bigger and better things. As I recall, he seemed to have a fairly high opinion of himself. He'd been out on loan, didn't seem like he wanted to be at Cardiff and I don't think he ever played for us again after that penalty miss. All I'm saying, is that it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he missed on purpose. And there's no way to know for sure either way.

Yeah mate Kenny Miller probably botched his easy chance on purpose too because who knows what was going through his mind he was probably thinking I'd better not score here in case I accidentally get signed by a Premier League club on the back of it

It would be foolish to speculate on what someone else is thinking. As foolish as it would be to confuse opinion with fact.

I think that the notion that he missed the penalty deliberately is beyond absurd. Who wouldn't want to grasp the glory of a win in the Cup Final and having scored a penalty to clinch it? Something that would stay with a player for the rest of his life. Simply ridiculous.

Bollocks. There's no way a player would miss a penalty in a cup final. Also, look at him here:

He wanted to win. He's a prat, granted but to say he missed on purpose isn't fair.

I didn't say he misssed on purpose. I just said that it's a possibility. Which it is.

There's not a lot of difference between saying it could have happened, and accusing him of doing so. He was crying his eyes out at full time.

Maybe Smithies let in that goal against Gillingham on purpose. We don't know what he was thinking at that exact moment there's no way to know either way.

You can make this odd argument for anything.

They'll be thinking next that Dan Lewis deliberately let in Hughie Ferguson's goal on purpose.
