You can ask the same question why Ferguson was made Sir Alex Ferguson!?!? WTF did he do to deserve that, when better managers like Bill Shankly, Joe Fagan or Bob Paisley deserved it far more!

Congrats to Stevie G

For services to sport, IE. Winning domestic and european silverware with Aberdeen,leagues cups and european cup winers cup, uefa super cup etc.

Then winning the following with United:

Premiership - 8 times
Fa cup - 5
League cups- 2
Charity shield -5
Uefa super cup - 1
Intercontinentalcup- 1
Champions league - 1
European cup winners cup - 1

May not be 3 European cups but he is the only manager to win the treble of big trophies in one season and the most successful English manager of all time. Don't forget its harder to win the European cup today than it was years ago, nowdays its not the champions league but the runners up and third and sometimes 4th league. Not like when villa won in 1982 and you had to win the league only to get in. Less teams.

when i heard about this i just laughed, he gets payed a fotune to run about with the lads doing something hes been doing since he was about 6, an that comes second nature to him by now.

Why not someone that is devoting there lives to charity work or actually making a difference in this world???

in 2007 im going to walk my dog twice as much just hope i make the list.

How the hell was it easier to win when it was the european champs cup back in the 70s/80s when you were playing all the champs of there own domestic leauges when every tie was a knock out none of this leauge stages were you can afford to lose 2 games

Sorry to disappoint you but you are wrong

I am firstly a fan of football, then a football fan.
Gerrard is a great great player, but one single player doesnt make a team.
There are players out there with more medals than him but no 3 letters after their name, why is Gerrard so special.

You can all ask what did Peter Schmeichel do to deserve his? Same for Tony Adams, Les Ferdinand, Steve Bull, Steve Perryman, Viv Anderson just to name a few....

For those that don't know... it's because they are nominated for them and if enough nominations, they will get an OBE or MBE

If you look at previous footballers who have got these awards and then still in your opinion think Gerrard doesn't deserve his, for his services to football... get over it!

yeah great goal/s but how the fuck he didnt score at least one header today and the other day in beyond me


anyway do think he will stay or begone
to be fair to him, you cant expect him to stick them away when he isnt starting regular, you need games to get and keep your form, but his heading is nothing to do with how many games he starts, he's just no good at heading the ball at goal, and for someone who is 6ft 7 its hard to explain. and as far as him leaving, only if we sign another striker first, i cant see rafa leaving us short upfront, but i think rafa see's him as back up to kuyt and bellers.

Not jealous at all, there are people out that have given the game more than he ever will, and they will never get a mention.

And i aint a Chelsea fan either so STFU
