“To be honest I was bored out of my skull” – Steven Gerrard

Aston Villa have sacked Steven Gerrard following a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Fulham.

Bored

“I just want to say I am sorry to the fans, well.. kind of”, yawned Stevie G while wiping his eyes, “It’s nothing personal, I just felt the club doesnt have enough drama or incentive for me”

“You see, relegation battles get me hard, or iconic moments like stopping Celtic winning a 10th time!”

“When I slipped up with Liverpool, I left a legacy”

“It was then I realized, its about leaving stories at the end of the day, Aston Villa fannying about in the lower mid table?”, scoffed Gerrard.

“No one remembers that shit!”, the Liverpool legend concluded.
