Pards: Please play fair Liverpool

ALAN PARDEW has begged Liverpool not to go easy on relegation rivals Fulham today.
The Charlton boss fears Rafa Benitez could rest his big guns in London ahead of their Euro final with AC Milan, giving the Cottagers a chance to pull clear of the drop zone.
Pards, whose Addicks face the Reds next week, said: “All teams have a responsibility to make sure it’s a fair, even situation.
“I’m sure the Liverpool teamsheet won’t be too different this weekend to what it will be next weekend.
“The one thing you can be sure of is they will have to freshen things up but they will also bring world-class players into their team.”
Charlton are three points off safety but Pardew reckons two wins from the final two games will ensure survival — starting with Tottenham at The Valley on Monday.
He added: “All the teams down there — Fulham, Wigan, West Ham and ourselves — have tough last games, which you wouldn’t want in any situation.
“That’s why this weekend is so important for all four teams.”

Gerrard: I'm Red for good

STEVEN GERRARD has confirmed he is holding talks to keep him at Anfield for years.
SunSport revealed yesterday how Liverpool planned to announce details of an extended £120,000-a-week deal on the eve of their Champions League final clash with Milan.
That would mean the Reds skipper would become the highest paid English player in the Premiership — raking in £6million a year.
And last night Gerrard, 26, confirmed he wants a long-term stay at Anfield.
He said: “I’m in talks to extend my contract.
“I’ve never been happier with my football. I’d love nothing better than to get it sorted and sign.
“We need to keep all our big players here so it’s very important we get the contracts sorted out so they can be here for a long time.”
Boss Rafa Benitez has opened talks with several other stars.
Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina and Steve Finnan are all set for new deals.
Benitez said: “If we can do things before the final it would be perfect. If not then it’s no problem.
“We’ve already had talks but couldn’t finish them before the Chelsea game, so decided to wait.
“Right now we must focus on the final but if it’s possible to do things earlier, then we will.”

Carson: I'll keep Charlton up

SCOTT CARSON plans to give Charlton the perfect leaving present — by keeping them in the Premiership.
The on-loan No 1 plays his last game for the Addicks on Monday before being recalled by Liverpool to battle Pepe Reina for the keeper’s jersey.
But the England Under-21 star wants to go out on a high by helping his side win three crucial survival points over Tottenham.
Carson, 21, said: “I’ve had a great time here and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
“I won’t say it’s going to be my last game but it is my last game this season and hopefully I can go out with a bang.
“It is a must-win game. Anything less puts us in real trouble because it means going to Anfield looking for three points.
“Obviously it’s going to be difficult but until we are actually relegated there’s still a chance.”
Without Carson’s heroics, Charlton would have been down weeks ago and his displays have alerted the likes of Arsenal over a potential summer swoop.
But Jerzy Dudek’s exit from Anfield could give Carson a chance to compete for a starting place with Champions League ace Reina.
He added: “Obviously my time would have been better had we been 10th in the league and closer to the European places.
“But the main thing was to get regular football. Before I came here I had less than 20 first-team games under my belt.
“I haven’t spoken to Alan Pardew or Rafa Benitez about the future. We’re just trying to get this season finished and then we’ll see what happens. But I definitely want to be a No 1.”
Carson says penalty expert Reina can help get the best out of him next season.
He said: “Fair play to Pepe, he had a lot of stick at the beginning of the season but he’s bounced back and is the hero now.
“He’s played in big games in Europe and is a top keeper. I’ve tried to pick things up from him and hopefully he’ll help me become a better keeper.”
Boss Pardew has begged Liverpool to play their best line-up against relegation rivals Fulham today.
He said: “All teams have a responsibility to make sure it’s a fair situation. That goes for Manchester United as well.”
