Fernando Torres made me do a sex wee......FACT

Now this young Torres lad. What a player. Awsome is the word.

[fah-q]

Echo all that, Harry was good (lets hope he stays fit), Torres was as always class, Finnan Solid, Masher made some great tackles.

The only down side is we gave the ball away a lot, but **** that, its for another day!!!

Forza Rafa!!!

[carrsim]

Based on no info whatsoever, I have a feeling after tonight and the support Rafa got that he will be staying.

Rafa

Also well played Harry Kewell when he came on, a fit Kewell really makes a difference to us adding width, flair and creativity. Well played

nice to see Harry get some game time. he gives us good balance and skill when he plays. hope his body holds up to the challenge- if it can i'd be delighted for him to sign a new contract

Basically saying how crap we were and we were lucky to scrap through with some late goals, didn't have a good word to say about us all night.

****ing cone head

[AFII]

Kewell shows how good manager Rafa is. How many managers would have kept faith with him?

[JRG]

i can't wait to see pennant and kewell on the wings ****ing invincible

a fair few to be honest. Kewell on his day is as good a footballer there is

[MrMichael]

I'm having a hard time enjoying the result because I have too much ****ing hate for that c u n t Andy Gray right about now

There is an easy answer. Turn the sound down and listen to commentary on the radio instead. Alan Greene, miserable though he can be, is a million times less annoying

Hope that interview puts to bed this whole farcical debate about his position.

But I doubt it will.

We can but hope.


Porto are a decent side. That was an excellent result, we had a dodgy spell before half time but otherwise we played pretty ok.

Negatives
- we really do need Agger back, Hyppia is a legend but was off form tonight.
- Babel did not have a good game imo.

Positives
- We won
- We scored twice from corners!
- Crouch scored coming off the bench!
- Torres is WORLD class
- Kewell. Looks like the real Harry is standing up at last.

Andy Gray - What did that bluenose ****e say? (I was watching a foreign stream)

He was just a first class cunt throughout. At times I was wondering if he was hoping Hicks & Gillett were watching their broadcast - pursuing his apparent vendetta against Rafa, chuckling at his decisions or non-decisions and slating our football. He's a ****ing bitter, bitter old cocksucker of the worst kind. Hate him.

Also Souness and Hoddle talked incredible amounts of bollocks before kick off when they questioned Mascherano's quality! No wonder they're both failed, out of work managers. Clueless swines.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand relax.

That was awesome. Okay we didn't play well for large portions of the game, but we did the business when it mattered. There's not much to add to everything that's already been said in the thread, but Kewell and Crouch instantly made us a more potent attacking threat.

Babel looks lost as a winger to me and, as carrsim said, he's better used as an impact sub against tiring defenders for now.

Words can't express how much I love Torres. The frightening thing is he will get better. He is a genuine world beater and he makes me feel 12 years old again.

Rafa's interview at the end nearly made me weep. The smile at the end..."I prefer to think about tonight's win, no - it's better", and the famous, beaming Benitez smile right down the lens. How has sacking this great, great man even found its way onto the agenda?

I adore the man. May Benitez reign forever!

[Gazzla]

i can't wait to see pennant and kewell on the wings ****ing invincible

I'm still to be convinced by Pennant but totally agree about a fully fit Kewell

[Gazzla]

That truely was staggering in their assessment of Mascherano

You know what, shaggs? I was thinking exactly the same as you when those two ****s were having a dig.

No wonder they're failures as managers. They can't even see a good layer when he's in front of them.

And all this from Sounness who signed Julian Dicks!

if G&H were watching they'd have been on ESPN- with irish man utd twit tommy smyth "with a Y" who's catchphrase is "the auld onion bag"

at least he'd have said it a lot for us tonight

[Sir Bob]

Great result tonight although we didn't really play that well. Porto were very decent after they scored but in the end Torres saw us through. I was at the match and the support was top notch esp for Rafa.

Obviously didn't see Rafa's interview, what did he say
