The Fernando Torres Appreciation Thread; Version 2

[Bradesmaen]

Oh and Moomba... I feel for you mate, things were looking up for your lot last season. You had a great manager who was doing great things, signed some good players and fell away in the last half of the season. But all the signs were there for you to push on with it this year. But he get's sacked?? And now you have Hughes? Lol... Harsh man.

Could be worse.. they could have Benitez as a manager and signed Robbie Keane.. now that'd make a club an embarrassment.

Yeah your right, Benitez is shit. I mean fancy winning the CL in your first season and winning an FA Cup. Oh and dont get me started on some of his shocking signings. Torres, disaster. Reina, worst keeper in the world... the list goes on. Alonso, Mascherano, Agger, Babel, Skrtel... just so bad.

Oh and Robbie Keane. I agree. Two games played, we may aswell sell him now as you can judge almost every player in the league on his first two games at a new club. Keane is shit! Let's hope we can sell him for about 3 million.

Even though Torres, Alonso, Reina etc are shit signings, at least Benitez is trying to sign players, unlike another club on merseyside.

 

[kane249]

I'd love to have someone like Torres in my team for sure.

But that post, and this thread is embarrassing.

You think that's bad Moomba? We're just getting started this season

Just wait till the closet Torresexual's come out

Some clubs actually care about winning the league, it seems that Benitez isn't looking to end their title drought anytime soon. But just keep being the good cup side that you are...

How long did it take Fergie to win the league? 5 years wasn't it? It's a good thing you had a little persistence there and not just sacked the guy after a few years of not winning it

Having another little sob attack petal?

No you are jsut a very boring individual where Liverpool and its supporters are concerned. Get over it.

Torres is a super player and having an appreciation thread is merely a recongition of that.

See the goal? It was a cracker.

If you don't like it, leave the thread, lemon.

haha at least Liverpool actually manage to sign players. I'd be embarrassed to support a team that fancies itself as a big club and expects to sign top players by offering expired bus tickets and a handful of pennies as compensation. "We're gonna sign Moutinho, but we're not going to pay value for him..." At least you bluenosers can hang your hat on that...

As for the relevance of this thread, I say the best striker in the world deserves a thread dedicated to his greatness, where the true believers can pay homage and the riff raff can wish he played for them.

Agreed... Benitez isnt trying to win the league at all.

That's not my point any you know it. Making negative points about Liverpool is fair enough and there are plenty to make. I have made plenty myself over the years.

You however seem to delight in writing negative crap about Liverpool all the time, much of it not constructive. You have an axe to grind and a chip on your shoulder. Grow up, child.

 

[Jolldo87]

I might even start one for headers in the 6 yard box straight into the opposition keepers head.

Fraizer Campbell got a jump start on the rest of the competition

I think you forgot to mention Rafa's league results

I think you forgot to mention Rafa's league results

On statement, given the rankings would be Torres, Keane, Kuyt, Babel
A) Babel > Campbell

on
B ) Shall we put the blowtorch on Ferguson's early career at Manure?
86-87 11th (not a full season)
87-88 2nd
88-89 11th
89-90 13th (5 points above being relegated, Fergie almost got sacked)
90-91 6th
91-92 2nd
92-93 1st

So remember you Manure supporters, it took Ferguson 5 and a half years before he won the league and he almost got Manure relegated in that time as well. But I suppose given how most of you wouldn't even know Manure existed prior to the mid 90's, I suppose we can't expect too much from you

 

[RoosterLad]

Who cares about what happened back then? Liverpool fans should stop living in the past.

Do you really think Rafa will win the EPL any time soon? You would want to have a big improvement this season and start to beat the rest of the top teams which you generally struggle against. Last season you once again limped into 4th, hardly an improvement.

Man Utd have a better squad also, but Chelsea look like improving this season too.. I think you are still a long way off but time will tell.

Funny though Kane, you are basically labeling Man Utd fans as bandwagoners yet you go for Liverpool? Were you born on the pitch of Anfield or something? A supporter of a top 4 team calling a supporter of another top 4 team a bandwagoner is absolutely laughable, and quite frankly a bit embarrassing.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Now now, play nicely children.

And if Jars458 thinks his golden boys get a rough ride from moomba, he should talk to the fans of Spurs. Or West 'am. Or Manchester United. Or Manchester City, for that matter.* See, he hates everybody. It's not personal (except with Spurs, of course).

*I'd have said the fans of Bolton, but they don't have any.

If only the internet were as active back then as it is today, would love to have seen you and your fellow supporters squirm and try and defend Fergie after he almost got you relegated and was nowhere near winning the title.

3 years after almost getting relegated Manure won the title, just shows you can't write a team or a manager off to fast because you never know whats around the corner.

I became a supporter of the reds in 89 actually and have stuck true to them since. The first match I ever watched? The title decider which 'Pool lost to Arsenal, so not sure how that classifies me as a bandwagoner since I backed and stuck to the losing team (who've been mostly losing ever since sadly)

I rarely speak about Liverpool nowadays. But in the last couple of weeks I've spoken about how Keane was a good signing despite the pricetag. Said in the gameday thread that the Torres goal was a very good one, and Alonso's would have been even better. I spoke about Nemeth suggesting that he was slightly behind one of our players (at this stage), and said that I think Babel is overrated (which is just my opinion, surely you can cope with that).

Have a laugh every time someone from Liverpool predicts this year is going to be the year, but everyone laughs at Liverpool when that happens.

You're clearly just an oversensitive baby, who can't handle the remotest bit of banter, or criticism of anything the club or their supporters do. Take my advice and never go near Liverpool, you'll keel over the second an Everton supporter makes a comment about your poor babies.

 

[kane249]

Anyway enough of a pissing contest between Manure and Liverpool fans again, back on topic and worshipping the great man

Well yes, you're right but considering i was born in 1991 it's hardly my fault.

 

[jod23]

That speed painting is awesome. The one of Gerrard, just as good also.

Better than Fergie's league results in his first 4 years in charge.

I know we havent put it together in the league yet and this year will probably be no different, but their is no way in hell anybody can say that Rafa over the 4 years and the list he took over from Houllier isnt far, far, stronger.

Not even remotely true. Its you I have the problem with (rightly or wrongly).

I acknowledge that it could be the case that I am oversensitive to your comments however.

I will take your view on board and try and develop as a person.

 

[davey_magik]

In all honesty how far do Liverpool fans think they are off winning the league?
