He'll be as quiet as a church mouse today the 'orrible RS loving rat,if ever a fella was made to play for that shower its Nolan.
Suppose so. I remember that game Gerrard stamped on him when he was on the ground and he practically thanked him for it.
Maybe someone else can do the honours.
Yes I remembered this pathetic brown nosing from the ratbag Nolan.....Have to laugh at Benitez at the end of the article though...neatly ridiculing his predecessor Houllier who bought Diouf

Kevin Nolan has backed Steven Gerrard's claim that a stamp on the Bolton midfielder was unintentional.
Bolton boss Sam Allardyce suggested that Liverpool's Gerrard deliberately stamped on Nolan in the 2-2 draw at the Reebok Stadium on Monday.
However, Nolan said: "I do not think it was intentional."
Gerrard insisted: "It was a complete accident. I am mates with Kevin Nolan so why would I ever try to deliberately hurt him?"
Nolan had stud marks on his chest after the 30th-minute incident but maintains Gerrard was blameless.
He added: "I have seen the incident and it was just one of those things.
"I was disappointed and wanted to have a look at it but I didn't see much wrong with it.
"I would not want anything to happen to him now because it was an accident."
Gerrard said he spoke to Nolan after the game and was shocked Allardyce reacted the way he did.
He said: "I'm very surprised he is trying to make an issue of it.
"We spoke at the end of the match. I wished him all the best for the rest of the season and the tackle wasn't even mentioned."
But Allardyce claimed Gerrard should have been sent off along with Mohammed Sissoko, who was involved in a similar incident with El-Hadji Diouf.
Bolton were diving all the time Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez
"It is serious foul play. The incidents are plain, clear and obvious," said the Bolton manager.
"It's difficult, I know, for referees in a split second but it couldn't be anything less than intentional and that is sad."
Reds manager Rafael Benitez said he did not see the Gerrard incident but was seething about Bolton's tactics and, in particular, the behaviour of ex-Liverpool striker Diouf.
"Perhaps they have other rules here but the referee should protect the players who want to play football," said the Spaniard.
"Bolton were diving all the time and you know they like free-kicks.
"Everyone in England knows what Diouf is like but today someone clearly didn't."
The draw ended Liverpool's hopes of equalling their club record of 11 straight Premiership wins.
