Thanks Fernando..?

[The Erectile Banana]

I ****ing hated that Trevor Francis cunt. Him and Mark Hately, where we grew up, were the two biggest mother****ers ever to step foot on a football pitch. They embodied everything we hated about the England football team. Then they both joined Rangers and that was excuse to hate them all the more. Pair of ****ing wallops.

But I agree with him on the Torres thing. Shevchenko / Crespo / Mutu / Torres...

He may well do a Santa Cruz and end up back with us.

Crespo always did alright whenver he played for Chelsea and scored a few goals. He was just unlucky Mourinho only ever played one upfront - Drogba - and had no space for him in the side.

The most hilarious excuse was from Kerry Dixon.

Apparently the pressure of filling such a famous number 9 shirt as worn by Peter Osgood, Roy Bentley and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is too much.

Only heard Durham's intro on TS tonight but it sounded like he was in classic WUM mode preparing to dish it out to Torres big time.

durham has been funny as **** all week ripping into torres - he's sound when he isn't having a go at your club

That's true.

Think the fact that Carra's always on the phone probably helps keep us out of the firing line these days (and Kenny replacing the Bodge obviously).

Chelsea fans are already comparing him to Shevchenko and slagging off his work rate and looking disinterested when things don't go his way.

The people who are defending him are noting "lack of service" and "lack of creativity in midfield" for his poor play.

I can't help but notice the similarity...

Torres taunts Blues with Liverpool anthem
By Paul Lagan
Friday, 18th February 2011
Just as well the boys have sense of irony...
Fernando Torres was forced to undergo the dreaded Chelsea initiation as the Blues latest signing.

Going way back to the old days of Dennis Wise, any new player has to stand up and sing a song to the rest of the players and staff.

Nando, a £50m buy from Liverpool in the January transfer window took his time before deciding this week what to sing.

And what did he choose - well it was non other than Liverpool's (and Celtic's) anthem You'll Never Walk Alone.

Chelsea-Mad's spy says that the rendition was actually quite good.

"Even a few of the English lads sung along," the mole said.

"Nando has a good voice and the boys gave him a rapturous applause."

And the origin of the song? "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Carousel.

Liverpool fans took it as their song in the 1960s as did Celtic.

Not a patch on the Liquidator, mind.

Torres is unavailable for tomorrow's FA Cup replay at home to Everton as he is cup-tied.

[Vermilion]

So he just copied Benayoun.

[spanky]

he could have sang the many john terry songs out there

[fah-q]

They even nicked the ****ing liquidator from Wolves (according to my wolves supporting mate).

[RichC]

Sums the plastic fans up for me - having a pop at a newbie starting what is actually a sensible thread!

Against Fulham we had 25 shots and only 3 were on target. This was the biggest upset for me. We are supposed to be a team that is good at finishing the chances we get. That is what makes us solid! Have we lost that??

This stat tells it all for me:

We ll see against Everton if any of that solidness remains.

Don't create stupid new threads, its makes you look like you have no clue.

"Finishing" makes you "solid"? Huh? I would think a whole lot of things makes a team "solid", such as passing efficiency, and even then I am not sure what "solid" really means in a football sense. Probably should mean a team with a good defence, midfield and strike force, with no real weaknesses.

Just respond to existing threads for a month or so, and then perhaps you can start a new thread, but not on your first week on the forum.

[little dave hedgehog]

what does it actually say, that we sell two players to them in fairly quick succession and they both stand up and sing ynwa to their new employers?

maybe it just says they're not too into music and don't know the words to any other songs...?

[S-RED]

You played like a prat, Fernando
For fifty million quid I wanted so much more than this



You got subbed again, Fernando
You were running round in circles, getting nowhere very fast

I could hear the discontent
And scousers shouting at you from afar



You looked lost again, Fernando
For an hour Ancelotti kept his faIth in you


Then he snapped again, Fernando
Hauled you off, brought on Kalou, and he was even worse than you

And I’m not ashamed to say
The way you played last night, it almost made me cry


You won nothing in the air last night
You played like s***e, Fernando
Missing chances that my gran would score
You were p**s poor, Fernando
You played like you’d been out on the booze
Now there’s regrets
If I had the money back again
I’d buy eeyore, Fernando


You’re so overpriced, Fernando
Chelsea can forget their Champions League dream if you’re in the team



You play like my mum, Fernando
Do you still recall the frightful miss that went over the stand

Your close control so awful

That you looked like you should be playing for West Ham



You won nothing in the air last night
You played like s***e, Fernando
Missing chances that my gran would score
You were p**s poor, Fernando
You played like you’d been out on the booze
Now there’s regrets
If I had the money back again
I’d buy eeyore, Fernando

Mildly amusing

[Baracus]

With no one to supply him when he had the likes of Alonso and Gerrard at LFC or when he is at spain with players like iniesta, xavi, xabi, villa, silva etc. He's just not going to do it at Chavs

Far too early to dismiss it.

Not dismissing him. I think he is a qualit player, one off the best strikers in the world. I just don't think chavs have the players to play a killer ball ( Like Gerrard or Alonso or the spain team can do) through to Torres. Essien could do, however he is utilised completely wrong as a DM.

They have several players who can play a killer ball, it's foolhardy to suggest otherwise.

2 months on. Still waiting for it happen laa. Maybe when him and yossi are on the pitch together things might change.
