The King is Dead long live the King

[Nicey]

I am ****ing loving this guy ...... He has the look of a winner about him, I cant see him being anything but a huge cult hero here

"I think Benitez is more than a manager.

"He's one of the greats in their history and people feel that way about him and they show it.

"And we all had an idea that he's somewhat special here but, honestly, what I saw at Anfield tonight was really impressive.

"I'm really impressed at how much he's loved by the people, above anything else, even the players.

"I feel their affection, the support for my team-mates and with each passing day I'm feeling more of a part of this and happier with everything and at the end of the day those things are reflected on the pitch."

Exceeded all expectations. If he becomes a bit more clinical, he could become our talisman. A legend in the making.

[carrsim]

If he becomes a bit more clinical

yeah cause 10 in 12 starts is simply woeful

though to be fair he should have had at least 3 against newcastle

[Dutte]

Cult hero? This guy is way beyond cult.

I love Torres. Not only is he one of the best forwards in the world but he seems to be such a top lad. Very humble and down to earth but also incredibly genuine. Traits which are unfortunately very rare amongst professional footballers.

[Nicey]

You can tell he is a gez, same look about him as Xabi, no pissing about... a winner

[Skillz]

He comes across really well in his interviews. Besides the fact he is a ****ing star on the pitch I really like the fact that if I were to run into him in the pub, i would feel comfortable enough to just sit down and have a chat.

BTW That actually happened to me with one of my sporting heroes, Steve Waugh after losing a critical test against the WI in Adelaide by 1 run (Jan 93?). He didnt let me down either, spoke to him for an hour and he was a genuinely great guy despite his obvious disappointment. He got his revenge in '95 though

[The Barber]

are there any songs on him as yet ?

[bonzai]

are there any songs on him as yet ?

why would we want songs about Steve Waugh?............
