Sky Sports fookin News again

The most astonishing aspect of Torres record is that he does not take set-pieces of any kind. Drogba's record has been supplemented with free kicks, not too sure how many penalties he has taken with Lampard at the club.

To be fair, Drogba's goal record is astounding when you consider how much time he spends on his arse...

None apparently.

Today, throughout the afternoon, they were doing a Torres v Drogba thing, in build up to Sunday, with total Premier League goals, as their main stat.

Drogba - 61
Torres - 46

They basically had number of PL goals at the head of their stats, and then compared all sorts of irrelevant stuff too, like what foot the goals were scored with, whether they were outside the box or in, whether they scored them in the 1st or 2nd half etc etc...

The one stat they neglected to mention? Oh yes, it was Premier League STARTS, which obviously makes a major difference in the 'who is better' stakes, which was obviously the crux of the issue.

Those figures are as follows:

Drogba - 109
Torres - 56

The way they made it look, was that Drogba was marginally (but noticably) better. When you look at the appearances figures, you see the truth. Drogba has an excellent record, better than 1 in 2 (which is brilliant by anyone's standards), but Drogba's record is in keeping with the kind of records top strikers in the world tend to have.

Torres' record of 46 in 56 starts is incomprehensibly out of this world. They talk of 1 in 2 as being the benchmark for brilliant strikers, but Torres is a tiny amount off a goal per game - in the Premier League, one of the world's hardest and best leagues - and having only played for 2 seasons (one of which he was missing for half the time).

In reality, there's no contest between them. Drogba's class but Torres sets a completely different standard to the rest.

Drogba's one of the best amongst his peers, while Torres HAS no peers.

He's better than everyone else by an absolute CHASM and in a league of his own.

In short, Sky Sports can **** off.

I was screaming at the tv as per usual. pathetic again from sky sports. ive got to learn not to watch skysports news.

[lickedlollipop]

tbf, drobga is very good, but not as our Torres.

[Neil Young]

I don't give a **** what Sky say about anything and I don't understand why anyone else does but that's their prerogative I suppose.

[DannyMan2006]

Torres's record is almost as good as Jardel's was that guy could score some goals!

Only difference being that Torres is playing in one of the best league in the world, for a team that is not the best in the league, whilst Jardel played in a poor standard of league where Porto were streets ahead of most teams and generally the best team in the league.

yep just look at the dutch league for example, many strikers have a stupid goals to game ratio over there and fail elsewhere
