Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has hinted he could leave The Reds should the club fail to reach the UEFA Champions League and maintain their Premiership challenge.
The England international, who only committed his future to the Anfield side until 2007 in November, has stated nothing is ever certain in football.

Liverpool could have moved fourth with a win over Southampton on Saturday, however a 2-1 defeat, their sixth loss of the campaign, left them way down in ninth.

With Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal streaking away at the top of the table, only one remaining space is available to club's to steal a lucrative Champions League place.

"I have just signed a long-term contract and I signed it because I believe Liverpool will be back in the Champions League and challenging for the title," said Gerrard to the Sunday Mirror.

"But I also know that things in football don't always go the way you think they will.

"If we don't qualify for the Champions League over the next couple of seasons then I would have to think very seriously about things.

"I owe it to myself to take another look at my future."

Do you think your lot will invest in new talent this month? It wouldn't surprise me if Newcastle were silent in the transfer market, again

yeah a another 17 year old "new zidane" who will get loaned to a nationwide club or back to the French league in a matter of 3 weeks after his signed. :P

Cisse rumoured to be coming in a time when our injured players are now almost fit.

We know the feeling mate. If we do sign someone it'll probably be another 'up and coming' 16 year old from Division One with 'lots of potential'. I hear Ipswich have a very promising foetus who has caught the attention of our scouts.

I can only assume Newcastle employ a gorgeous female physio because the amount of times some of our players keep going back for treatment is astonishing.

You still suck (spend a ton on players and do nothing)

enjoy it!

we shall be holding the trophy (CHAMPIONS OF THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE AGAIN!) at Old Trafford in May..give it up wankers!

and owen does not dive?

give it up...seems all top flight strikers dive like fucking hell these days..sad I know...used to be...they rarely dived...just played till the whistle...they are all pretty boys now...henry, shearer, ruud and others.

Shearer does seem to hold a lot of power with referees, many also accuse him of being physical, but I can't remember the last time he dived for a pen.

I wouldn't say Henry's as bad as Owen or Ruud either, Arsenal have Pires for that role!

Sinama Pongolle is fast gaining himself a reputation as well. I know it's prevalent in today's game but some players are a lot more sly than others.

It happens in all sports now, I mean in Ice Hockey, you seem players diving like heck to gain penalties and what happens in hockey like footy....the refs start to ignore you because they know you dive to get penalties. It's a mess about the game because you have too many pretty boys trying to make the plays look neat. I thought Arsenal showed last year what happens when you try to play pretty football, you don't win. Who cares how it looks when you score because the goals count no matter the ugly nature. We got Ronaldo for that role for diving and crying. I mean if you are hurt then stay down but if you are not, get back up and swallow your pride. Refs don't give those players anymore benefits of the doubt. When I played sports, I played for the whistle, no whistle then you keep playing. It's in all sports now, too many ppl trying to look pretty when playing, sports is gritty and competitive. I mean when I play footie (I played winger and made allstar) and I now play either central midfield or striker but if I made a play that looked good, I'd worry about talking about it after the game. Pretty plays normally end up doing nothing, you need to work to get goals and if they look great....props to you but if they don't...they all count.
