We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.

I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.

But I it doesn't matter who scores the goals so long as we win.

There's no doubt that the squad needs strengthening if we are to get back up among the top three because they are operating on another level to us at the moment.

I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on... It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact.

The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.

I'm a fan myself and I'm frustrated just as much as them when we get beat.

Even now I can say I'd love to finish my career here, and then stay in the game after that.

We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.

But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.

I've got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club.

The fans have played a massive part in getting us to where we are, but the job's not finished.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.

Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.

It will be a dream come true if I can go there and lift it.

The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.

I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.

Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was fantastic.

I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.

I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.

107 caps isn't bad for someone who isn't 'a top, top player', is it? I never expected to get that amount of caps. When I made my debut, I set myself the personal target of trying to get 50 caps and score 10 goals if I could. So to have 107 is something I am really proud of, particularly being among those names.

Grilled salmon and brown pasta works for me every time.

I was always determined to make it as a footballer, but if things hadn't worked out, I'd have maybe followed my dad into the building industry.

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

I'm playing second fiddle to Justin Bieber - Bieber Fever is sweeping our house, and my girls have made it clear I'm no longer their favourite man.

If other people want to talk about my future I can't control that.

If you don't play well, you have a bad game or a nightmare you know that the amount of coverage is worldwide.

In football, the hero and legend status is given out far too easily for me.

It was difficult knowing one of your cousins had lost his life.

It's too easy to blame other people in football.

When I leave the car park at Melwood, I try and become a completely different person. I try to get away from it. You have got to. Otherwise you end up like Jamie Carragher - obsessed!

Dont try to beat the goalkeeper. Try to destroy the goalkeeper.

Football is all about winning things as a team but it's also important to pick up individual awards along the way.

To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.

Lucas attended a conference on rational expectations at the University of Minnesota in the spring of 1973. The day after the conference, I received a call from Pittsburgh.

Let your dreams outgrow the shoes of your expectations.

Holidays in general breed unrealistic expectations. The minute you start wondering, 'is it going to be wonderful enough?,' it never will be.

I think my expectations for myself are much more severe and much more direct. You can't work on a film for six years without being your own toughest critic. So you can't really be distracted by the expectations based on your previous performance.

I believe every chess player senses beauty, when he succeeds in creating situations, which contradict the expectations and the rules, and he succeeds in mastering this situation.

They flooded liquidity in the marketplace but the mortgage rate is based much more on expectations of inflation. So if the average investor believes that there is inflation coming, they'll move that rate up.

I'd rather play here in this small bar and just do a good show. Because it's fun and there's no expectations, it's encouragement to be different, do something new.

I do my best not to have any expectations when I go into a movie because it's not fair.

Dreaming is one thing, and working towards the dream is one thing, but working with expectations in mind is very self-defeating.

Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.

The people who don't like it tend to dislike it intensely. That's unfortunate, but not surprising when one deliberately goes against audience expectations.

We will not fail your expectations of us as a new nation dedicated to peace, democracy, and freedom.

The position that I take partly as a result of living in Asia is where you stop living according to your expectations and you become available to experience things as they are.
