Despite winning the Champions League with his hometown club last month speculation as to where Gerrard will be playing his football next season has been constant in recent weeks. But speaking at a Charity Golf event organised by Andy Gray and Gary McAllister, the Reds skipper has given the clearest indication yet that he wants to remain a Red. "There are talks that are going to be happening at the end of June and beginning of July. The ball is in Liverpool's court now. I'm ready to talk and waiting for them to give me the nod where and when myself and my advisers need to be, " he told Sky Sports News. Then when asked if that meant he would like to stay at Anfield, he added: "Of course, yes, I've still got two years left. We haven't spoken about a new contract yet and I don't know how long those talks will go on for. But the sooner they start the better because I want my future sorted before the start of the season." Gerrard also spoke of his excitement about the coming season and the prospect of changes in the playing personnel at Anfield. "I'm sure changes will be made," he said. "The manager has said that and there has been a lot of speculation in the papers, so I am sure new faces will be added to the squad. Players leaving happens at every club and I am looking forward to seeing a fresh squad when I link back up." Following UEFA's decision to allow Liverpool the chance to defend their Champions League crown Gerrard's season is now due to begin earlier than expected. But he's welcomed this news and is now setting his sights on leading the Reds to more silverware. "UEFA have made the right decision. The competition is called the Champions League and it's important that the champions are able to defend their title. It's going to be a long season but I am looking forward to it. Last season ended on a fantastic note. We won the big one but that's forgotten about now. We now have to improve in the Premiership and put more trophies back in the cabinet."
-- "Shanks went down on the pitch, and I had to get this all red kit on, run down the tunnel, up the stairs and out. I'd gone about five yards, and Shanks was shouting, 'That's it! Bloody hell, he looks about seven foot!' So we started to play in red." - Ron Yeats
