"The real boost was to have finished above Manchester United," said Carragher. In the past couple of seasons we've done well against them but we've always, in the past, deep down not really fancied it much when we have played them. That has changed."
"It gave us a lot of confidence because they were a great side and brought a lot of new players in last summer, so to finish above them was a great boost for us all. A great achievement considering the money they spent last summer."
Now it could be that the interpreter found it difficult to decipher what the orally-impaired joker was trying to say but:
"Last season the 80 points we got would have won the title in most other seasons. If we get 80 points again we will win the league. We are quietly confident we will be there at the end fighting for it, have no fear about that."
Let’s hope that Keano reads these comments to the rest of the squad before the next game against them.
