El-Hadji Diuof has reignited a war of words with former team-mate Jamie Carragher branding the Liverpool defender as 'nothing'.
The Blackburn Rovers forward was singled out by Carragher in the star's recent autobiography, saying ex-Anfield chief Gerard Houllier made a massive £10million mistake when he signed the Senegal star in 2002 over Nicolas Anelka.
Carragher wrote: 'In all my years at Anfield, I have never met a player who cared less about winning or losing.

War of words: El Hadji Diouf (L) has launched a stinging attack on former Liverpool club-mate Jamie Carragher

'His name - along with that of Salif Diao - still makes even the toughest Liverpudlians shudder in fear.'
But furious Diouf hit back by launching a scathing attack on Carragher, who has been earmarked by the Football Association as a future international coach.
'Carragher is just a guy who loves to talk. Carragher, for me, is nothing,' Diouf told The Sun.
Jealous: Blackburn star Diouf claims Carragher was bitter over wage difference

'If Liverpool had 10 players like Carragher, then they would never win anything.
'He’s like a make of ketchup or mustard to a normal person, not important. I played for Liverpool for two years and Carragher never spoke to me. That’s life, some people are like that.'

Diouf believes he was targeted by the 32-year-old defender because he was 'jealous' of the wages he was on when he arrived at Anfield eight years ago from Lens.

'When I played at Liverpool, Carragher could have talked to me then - but he didn’t, ' he added.

'He was jealous of me - that’s why he talked about me. Because when I came to Liverpool I earned more than him and I was a bigger name than him.
'We didn’t have a team at Liverpool. We had the English somewhere and the French boys somewhere. If it’s like that, you can do nothing together.
'I took my country to the World Cup and to the finals of the African Nations Cup.

'So Carragher can’t criticise me because, to me, he has done nothing with his life.

'But Carragher doesn’t sell papers, Carragher doesn’t sell shirts.'

Stuck in: Diouf says Anfield hero Carragher has done 'nothing with his life'

Diouf was a surprise selection on the top 100 players in the world once submitted by footballing greats Pele and Diego Maradona and the Blackburn star insists their praise puts Carragher's criticism to shame.
He said: 'I’m not going to listen to what Carragher says.

'I listen to the big men, the greats of football. Both said very good things about me.'

Prior to the WC two joker EPL commentators were lamenting his supposedly retirement from international ball and believed he would be a great asset to the English team.

My 18 month old daughter can run faster than Carragher. He is overrated and he believes in his own hype.

If anyone is believing hype it's that eediat Diouf. Him had one shining moment in the WC and Houllier get itchy an' signed him...and what has he done since? Carragher at least has a Champions League, FA Cup, UEFA Cup and League Cup to his credit, that jackass Diouf don't have one rahtid ting...and wow...your daughter is 18 months? How time flies. I remember when you were getting no sleep when she just born. She soon wan' borrow the car keys.

The man showed the divide in the Liverpool camp and how carragher did not even talk to him. Looks like Carragher is the idiot.
Highly overrated and not sure how he all of sudden had british pundits labeling him as a top quality defender.

Me can"t count....she is 15 months. Men are not good at the "months" ting. The older one got her DL this past summer and now all of a sudden she is no longer the eager-beaver to borrow the car.

Suppose Carragher says different? Then what? My point is that Diouf said Carragher is a "nothing" when Carragher has won more than him. To me, for Diouf to seh dat, him is an eediat. Now, if it is true that Carragher didn't speak to him in two years, then that is poor form and not defensible...but that is a separate argument to my mind and doesn't make Carra "a nothing"...it may however, make him an eediat to'.
