STEVEN GERRARD today rubbished claims he was involved in a dressing room fracas during the FA Cup replay against Reading - as he reaffirmed his commitment to the club.[LNB]Stories have been sweeping Merseyside ever since Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup that Gerrard was allegedly involved in aspat with coaching staff at half-time during that game.[LNB]Aside from those tales - all of which he says have brought a smile to his face - Gerrard was also at the centre of several weekend reports in national newspapers linking him with a move from Anfield.[LNB]Gerrard, however, has categorically rebuffed all such stories and, ahead of tonight's crucial showdown with Tottenham Hotspur, he is anxious to set the record straight.[LNB]'I've heard about a dozen versions of the same rumour and they're all as daft as each other,' said Gerrard, who is currently recovering from a minor hamstring problem.[LNB]'I'd love to know who comes up with this kind of stuff because they must have an unbelievable imagination.[LNB]'Nothing happened, that's an absolute fact.[LNB]"But if anyone thinks this nonsense unsettles either me or the club then they're mistaken.[LNB]"If anything it's brought everyone even closer together because we've all had a good laugh about it.
