"Two finals in three years - not bad for a little club.''
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard twists the knife after his side, branded a "little club" by Jose Mourinho, reach the Champions League final at Chelsea's expense.
"I guess when you've invested £500m it's a fantastic season to win the League Cup."
Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry sticks the boot in.
"We do not need to give away flags for our fans to wave - our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need.''
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has a dig at Chelsea ahead of the game.
"I am not interested in what he says so don't tell me what Rafa has been saying.''
But Mourinho's not listening.
"We were the best team today, even against a team only playing for the Champions League."
Mourinho can't resist one last pop at Liverpool.
"If you've had three years at Chelsea and spent that kind of money and not got to the Champions League final, you might be in trouble from the owner!"
But Jamie Carragher has the final say.
"He looks aggressive but he's as scary as a kitten."
Comment in Steven Gerrard's autobiography about AC Milan's Genarro Gattuso after the 2005 Champions League final. Could be interesting when the two meet up again on 23 May.
