Jamie Carragher has admitted today that he is jealous of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs for all the success they’ve had with United. Carragher’s best moment for Liverpool was winning the European Cup, but our legends have done that twice. Liverpool haven’t won the league since 1990, when Carragher was just 12-years-old old, whilst Giggs has 12 league winners medals whilst Scholes has 10.
“I’d love to have won the league for Liverpool as it’s been so long,” he said. “But were we ever really good enough? We never threw it away. There was always someone better than us. These players who say, ‘Oh, I’ve won the league three times.’ They’ve been at Chelsea or United but they’re not a regular. They play all over the place, they come in, they go out. I could do that. I could do that for Chelsea or United, not a problem. But I’ve been one of the main players for Liverpool, winning the European Cup, winning the Cup treble. OK, I’m probably jealous of Giggs and Scholes and their titles and European Cups. But I played for my team my whole life and I’ve been one of the main players in what we’ve done. I could have won the league going somewhere else and just playing 25 games. I’m good enough to have won the league. I’m not trying to sound big-headed but more often than not we’ve had one of the best defensive records each season.”

He wouldn’t ever have got 25 games at utd, Chelsea, arsenal or City. Maybe Blackburn way back in day but he was never good for a top team.
Giggsy 12 Jamie nil
Don’t like him but at his best. He would have got 25 games at a title chasing team.

You played for your team your whole life? U grew up an everton fan u piece of vermin. Mumbling scouse fuck whit.
Great speech by him
He’s known of having the neck of finding a better word, whenever he open his mouth
Its a great read too
Its a shame such a quality defender haven’t won any EPL title, its a shame really
Regrets will kick in and you’ll never forgive yourself for not having made a better choice of clubs.
Stivie me has expressed his regrets too
He’s a dirty bastard at times but I’ve always liked Carragher. He’s a ‘real football man’ and I have huge respect for him and what he’s achieved at Liverpool. In a way it’s sad he was at Anfield during a largely fallow period, as he deserves to be remembered more than some of the lesser players who picked up all sorts of medals in their golden period in the ’70s and ’80s. Of course I’m only too glad he’s not won that many trophies from a United point of view, but he’s basically a good guy, always worth listening to as someone who speaks with an unusual degree of honesty and directness. He’s one of the few people with a whiney Scouse accent I can stand! I hope he doesn’t win any more medals, but , when the time comes, I hope he enjoys a well-deserved retirement and maybe becomes yet another ex-Liverpool media pundit. I think he’d be good, much like Gary Neville.
I cant stand him! Was he trying 2 give scholes and giggs a compliment?? Lol he just sounds bitter. Haha.
I will always remember that cynical tackle on Nani when our winger was playing his best football and he did not get a red card. Was it 3 seasons ago? Fxxking scouser.
Dear Mr Carra.
I can understand you and pitty you in a way bcos our Giggsy and our Artfull Dodger won titles and Honours more then the ammount of hair you’v got on your head
@Unitedforeva
Two seasons ago. It was a shocker – put him out for weeks.
Not sure Nani was playing his best football at the time though. In that very match he’d set up their first goal!
Kuyt hattrick. *shudder* What an awful day that was.
When these words come out of gerrard it wil be sweetest thing..jamie good old school defender..
I wonder how an all time Mancunian 11 would fare against an all-time Scouse 11? Or a current Mancunian v Scouse 11?
Carra wouldn’t make the B team
That horrendous tackle happened on 6th march 2011
Alots of people hates him because of that
And due to the fact that he’s scouse
But great guy IMO
As much as we hate all things Liverpool, Carragher is a proper pro who is in the old school mould. A player of limited ability but makes it up with hard work. Has always respected us and our manager, so kudos to him
Except about his comment on him able to do a job for us, don’t think so, we have always been blessed with great defenders throughout his generation
It was absolutely disgraceful by Carragher. He deserves a few smacks for that
But its well timed valencia had just returned from injury even though nani didn’t sit out a game due to that
(Was)…
3 yrs ago livpl beat us @ old trafford then city doing same last season..i m waiting for united do a 8-2 arsenal..when r v gonna do it..come on fellow red devils help me here
@Jrdonl
Was that worth pointing out?
And what exactly you mean by that
It’s impressive, at the very least, to see a true, pure bred Scouser, with a job for that period of time. Kudos you filthy git, kudos.
Keano99, how exactly is he vermin? Ole Gunnar Soldkjaer supported Liverpool as a kid does this make him vermin as well? Carragher comes across as decent bloke and an honest loyal professional in a day and age when most footballers are out of touch with reality. There was a case when a group of Liverpool fans got stranded abroad after a European away day and Carragher payed for their flights to get home, hardly the actions of vermin.
Sir Alex Ferguson: “Arsene Wenger has changed the dynamics of modern football. He is a true genius, true visionary, true revolutionist.”
I lost all respect for him when he studded Nani. I appreciate his slightly bitter comments but bitter they are.
@ joffrey and anybody else who has joined the scouse filth love in over the last few days.
We are reds they are scouse filth if you want to support them your more than welcome but why are u on a united blog? I can’t believe what iv been reading over the last few days on here all some people are short of doing is having a wank over a picture of stevie g while singing your never walk alone. Garragher = scouse vermin because he plays for liverpool end fucking of story! 2 fucking years ago he tried to break nani’s leg and people on here are fucking saying how great a bloke he is because he treats the scouse filth fans to a fucking lift home!!! I can c why a lot of old posters on her have fucked off.
@proverb i meant say no matter what a livpl player or man city player say they all shit..man utd losing @ home is equal to some one coming 2 my home and slapping in face..i m out for bloody re venge..may be wrong thread 2 vent out my anger..bt livpl scum dont deserve praise
@proverb i meant 2 say no matter what a livpl player or man city player say they all shit..man utd losing @ home is equal to some one coming 2 my home and slapping in face..i m out for bloody re venge..may be wrong thread 2 vent out my anger..bt livpl scum dont deserve praise
Kagawa will get 1 before him too.
of course he’s jealous….they have won loads & he has won next to fuck all ….chavvy bin-dipping cunt….
Huh! K
I don’t know – I can easily see why a player might take out Nani. Even we think he is a show pony. He often does not complete his work. From a defender’s point of view, he could be forgiven for thinking that Nani just ikes showing people up.
I like Carragher otherwise
SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 AT 15:38
kanchelskis post….
hardly ever agree with you…..dammit…… have to this time……
@ TonyBee
That was funny.
Obviously he’s on his way out in January or the end of the season, respect for the guy for sticking at the same club his whole life, he’s a true footie man and that should be applauded. You can’t criticise him for bad tackles or you’d have to lay the same at the foot of Scholes almost every match.
@Always Be Closing
Scholes rarely tackles with malicious intent.
“k” is the shortest way to spell “Fuck you.”
Agreed anything scouse/dipper is filth
@keano99 I think you need to grow the fuck up. How am I having a scouser love in? I can’t fucking stand Liverpool fc but Carragher is to Liverpool what Neville is to United and I can respect that. Why don’t you do the same and fuck off like the rest then. Knob head.
it’s all relative I guess.
He has 1 champs league winners medal, 1 UEFA Cup, 2 FA Cups, 2 Euro super cups and 3 League cups. In comparison to United and Chelsea it doesn’t look like much but 99% of all the players of the last 20 years would be pretty made up with it I imagine.
@keane99
So we cannot respect any player from rival clubs? That if we respect them we are not welcomed to a United blog? You need to grow up boy
Haha slapped down.
@ joffrey & marq
Respect a scouse animal like him? U lot should stand in the away end at anfield getting cups of piss thrown at u munich song with paper planes thrown at u, song about harold shipman killing mancs? And he is one of them so fuck off with ur jammie love. Don’t worry lads I’m off its getting like man utd.com on here ur gona be talking about how beckham had great hair next. Come on my supporters bus on sunday morning and talk about how u respect carragher u won’t last 5 mins.
What the fuck do you mean he’s one of them? Stands on the pitch singing songs and chucking piss around does he?
Agree with Giles, always liked Carragher for some reason.
Carragher is a true pro. Where would we be without stalwart scouse players like him to hate year in year out. The fact is he’s a loyal player to his club . If we can’t respect that , even from the club we hate the most , then we are no different from them. And we are . Different are we not ?.
@ King Eric
No! Not allowed! You’re banned from being a Top Red (TM)
King Eric- how are you . Little one ok?.
I remember reading one if jamies interviews. He said he always wants united to lose but what SAF. Has achieved us amazing and demands respect.
That impressed me the fact he fully admitted his contempt for the club but recognised and admitted credit where it was due.
Never rated Carragher.
‘But i played for my team my whole life and ive been one of the main players in what we’ve done’
For this i thank you Jamie as that’s why Liverpool haven’t won much as you’ve been one of the main players and you are useless.
He has never had pace (people can actually power walk past him nowadays) and his distribution has always been of the ‘get rid’ ethos’. Never the type of centre back you want, wins you it back to then give it straight back to the opposing team.
Didn’t he start spouting this last year just before our game with them
Kanchelskis – Ha. Strike me down!! No seriously like some say he is a decent lad Carragher and always respectful of United and Fergie. Talks sense and what I love about him is the fact he called up that cunt Durham and offered him out. He doesn’t give a fuck about Ingerlund and fair play for that. Ask any dipper about Nev, Scholes or Giggs and they have upmost respect for them.
Red Billy – Hey up pal. Sound thanks. He is nearly 9 months now and babbling away. Kips like a log too which is good. You well?
“What the fuck do you mean he’s one of them? Stands on the pitch singing songs and chucking piss around does he?”
Ha. Quality. I have been to Anfield a few times, does this make me a proper fan then? Fuck me.
@KE
Only if Gerrard and Carragher hurled their shit at you like wild apes.
King Eric- sleeping is better than keeping you awake mate . All well thanks. Young stepson now a united obsessed 11 yr old which is fantastic. Miss reading posts from some if the absent posters but all is well. . Dippers worst PL start for 50 yrs so yes, all is well.
He’s said nice things about us over the years. In a bitter-but-i-have-no-choice-but-to-admit-it sort of way.
keano99 what a moron you are,its nobheads like you that give football a bad name,Carragher is a decent fella….end of,to hate all things liverpool just because it is liverpool is just retarded.Sure they have some scumbags who throw piss and shit,and other cunts who sing munich songs,but thats not all of them,I know loads of decent scousers who would never do such shite….we have are own twats who sing vile songs(no doubt you are one of these big hard brave boys) but we all dont sing them.Grow up and get a life…
What Andooo said @ 18:58 pretty much sums it up.
A limited player like Carragher should consider himself fortunate to have played in a EPL winning side, and thank Gerrard for that gong. He’s also deluded if he thinks he’d get anywhere near a United or Chelsea side.
@keano99
We are football supporters, supporting a club called Manchester United, but we don’t let football loyalties decide who are the people worth respecting. You have too much hate and letting such things run your life is plain silly. By your logic any supporter of a rival club having respect for Scholes & Giggs should be beaten up? You seriously need a check with the psychologist mate, letting a game run your life like that.
“OK, I’m probably jealous of Giggs and Scholes and their titles and European Cups. But I played for my team my whole life and I’ve been one of the main players in what we’ve done.”
So have Giggs & Scholes. They’ve played for their team their entire lives and they’ve been the main players in everything United have achieved. Together they have well over a thousand appearances!
Also, if he’d have gone to a more successful team he wouldn’t have been ‘just another player’, he would have started every game at a club like Chelsea – AND won the league.
He appears to be justifying his decision to stay at a relatively unsuccessful club (in comparison to the alternatives) by saying he’s been an integral player in their meager success.
Clutching at straws ?
Even if Carragher had his chances to go elsewhere it was his own choice. But i think it is just a matter of him answering direct question.
Some choices, honest choices, doesn’t necessarily bring success and wellness.
Any man with a single team his whole life deserves respects.
In these days of rampant greed and mega-bucks, I’ll tip my hat to any player who devotes his entire career at a single club. Even if he is a cunt
hahaha! But seriously, I don’t have anything against him. Seems to me he was being pretty honest about it. “But were we ever really good enough? We never threw it away. There was always someone better than us.” Can’t argue with that for honesty. Compared to some of the loser whinging cunts around, it’s a breath of fresh air.
Proper footballer in an average team. Cudos to him for sticking by his club. That if something deserves respect in the days of mercenaries-and-billion-dollar-contract-handed-out-to-everyone-that-can-put-a-signature-on-a-paper-by-those-fuckin-cunt-arabs.
You really hate him, dont’ ya?
@keano99
I hear you brother. Fan culture is changing for the worse and the majority of people on here reflect that. These arnt dyed-in-the-wool born and bred Mancunian Manchester United fans: They are Soccer AM watching; Toms wearing; moral high ground; no-marks. You will never reason with these people and nor should you try to. Leave them to their little corner of the web where they can brown-nose the enemy and wax-lyrical on how fair and moral they are. How they are all good and born and bred’ders like us know nothing.
All clubs have these fools. Like the ones who wanted Wenger out at Arsenal. Or the ones whose first cITY shirt had an eagle on the badge. The world needs these fools to balance out the clued-up.
So showing a little respect (most of it backhanded, as they’re usually followed by ‘still a twat for that tackle’ or something to that effect) to a rival’s player now puts you down on the level of bandwagon riders and the kind of people who would spit on the likes of Ferguson and Wenger while following either of their respective clubs?
Seems like you’re being a little TOO nostalgic for the 80s are ya by any chance?
@LoneStarRed – it doesn’t matter if it’s malicious or not, he and everyone else knows he’s an awful tackler and puts people in danger by going in.
FootballWasntInventedIn1992 declares that “all Manchester United fans that are not born and bred Mancunian are Soccer AM watching; Toms wearing; moral high ground; no-marks.”
Keano99 declares that “only when ur spending a couple of grand on season tickets and travel every season like me and 52 thousand other reds then u can comment” on United.
You are both cunts. You dismiss 99% of United fans as irrelevant no-marks. Fuck you.
Fuck your birth, fuck your life, fuck your death. Fuck your views, fuck your selves.
Fuck your home, fuck your job, fuck you.
We are United. You are both elitist, self-centered, big-headed, xenophobic neanderthals.
Manchester United is the greatest football club in the world BECAUSE of us far-flung Reds. Without our support, United would NOT be a world football power. We are United. You are living the dream because we have enabled United. All of us.
You want a club that only respects local fans? Tough shit, you’re too late. United chose us. United wanted supporters from all over England, United wanted supporters from all over Europe, United wanted supporters from all over the world. United searched us out. They wanted our support, they got our support. United is us.
There are many “born and bred’ders” that have posted on RoM. The vast majority appreciate and respect us Reds that are not from Manchester. We appreciate and respect them. Together, we are all United. The local fans, the distant fans, all of us, WE ARE UNITED!
footballwasntinventedprick,Ive been watchin utd since the 70`s,been to anfield when the whole of the anfield road was singin about munich,I cant stand liverpool fans,but I would never lower myself by chanting about people dying who went to a football match its pathetic at best…if that doesnt make me a top red like you and that keano nob then so be it…..clued up?? pmsl,grow up more like
DreadedRed – agree with you. This whole born and bred stuff is bollox. City use it and it’s absolute bollox.
1. If you’re born in Manchester and then move away as a kid does that mean you should no longer support United?
2. If you’re born in Germany but your parents were mancs? same thing?
3. If you just happened to want support united aged 6 for no other reason than you loved Ronaldo, Beckham or Nobby Stiles….
Who Gives a FUCK – we’re United…whether you wear ared shirt with Aon on or a black Prada zip up…
Your team is United – we’re all lucky have made at least ONE great Decision in our lives …to support a great team and club loved by millions around the world….
Footballwasntinvented in1992 – you are too narrow minded – I don’t doubt you are a staunch supporter but we all are in different ways! I was born in Chorlton (cum hardy as it was known then) and we used to get a bus to Old T in 60′s, 70′s as a teen were great, 80′s too by the 90′s I had 2 season tkts and was going with my lad who know follows FC United whilst I have had to give up my season tkst due to being skint again!!! Each to their own…
As for Carragher comments – when he says I have played for my team for 2 million years etc His team was Everton until he was 17!!!! NOB!
