“I hope it’s not going to be one of those seasons. I’m not banking on one of them,” he rapped.

“I want to push on, I want to get in the top four and I want to win a trophy.

“Liverpool supporters haven’t been to Wembley for a very long time because of the Cardiff situation a few years ago and I want to play at Wembley for Liverpool.

“I’ve never done that and that is one of my aims for this season. We wont be treading water, I certainly hope not.”

Carragher also refuses to use the ownership situation as an excuse for a below par season.

“I just play for Liverpool. I don’t get involved in the other side of things,” he added. “Obviously you’d like a lot of good players coming in to make you stronger but I am paid to play for the club and that’s what I’ll do no matter what.

“You never know what’s around the corner and I have to do my job for Liverpool right now. “Different things come at different times and I’d never complain about the club in that way.

“Sometimes circumstances go well, sometimes they don’t. As a player, you’ve just got to do your bit on the pitch.”

A Liverpool XI containing players like Michael Owen, Luis Garcia, Emile Heskey and Danny Murphy will face Everton at Anfield tomorrow.

Admission price is £20, and there are already signs that Carragher could reach another notable landmark.

Only two testimonial matches for players staged at Anfield have ever topped the 40,000 attendance mark – Gerry Byrne’s benefit which attracted 41,000 in 1970, and Roger Hunt’s match against an England XI in 1972 which saw 55,214 pay tribute.
