The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

The refereeing in the self styled 'Best League in the World' is a ****ing joke, Torres gets bashed around every week, Rooney kicks out at De Jong at the w/e and while it's nothing violent it would be a straight red in most other countries and a definate straight red in the WC.Originally posted by Mattshark View PostI would still point to the tactics opposition teams use against him, constant fouling and kicking and it adds up.
It's the only thing I agree with MoN on is that all you ask is for the refs to ref the game according to the letter of the law not put in their own interpretation when it suits themThe King was back for a short while. Long live The King.

all said and done though, even though the tackling is a disgrace at times in the EPL, i reckon the doctors / medical staff at lfc have a **** load to answer for this year. they both told torres his knee was fine but 2 independant docs told him he needed surgery??? hopefully ( rafa or no rafa ) we bring in some new medical types this summer.People who think there's no good way to die have obviously never heard the phrase 'Drug-fuelled-sex-heart-attack'.

Torres - Op the only option
Reds striker denies putting country before club
By Chris Burton Last updated: 19th April 2010
Fernando Torres insists he had no option but to go under the knife and was not thinking about the World Cup.
The Liverpool striker has seen his season cut short after it became apparent that he required surgery to repair damaged cartilage in his right knee.
He will now sit out the Reds' remaining games of the 2009/10 campaign, unable to play any part in their Premier League endeavours or bid for Europa League success.
Torres should, however, be back to full fitness in time to spearhead Spain's pursuit of global glory at this summer's World Cup.
Some people have suggested that the 26-year-old has put his country before his club by opting to have an operation now, but the hot-shot striker is adamant that is not the case.
Torres told his personal website: "It's not true. We exhausted all the possibilities before arriving at the final one.
"There were three options. One was that the meniscus was okay, the second was that the problem was not clear and the third that the meniscus was affected.
"On Friday afternoon in Liverpool the scan I had cleared up the doubts and made us see that I would almost definitely have to have an operation.
Target
"The meniscus was affected and the doctors said they had to operate.
"What's more, the injury happened in the second minute of the game (Europa League quarter-final second leg) against Benfica at Anfield and I played injured for 85 minutes.
"If I had been thinking about the World Cup and Spain I would have asked for a change (substitution).
"It wasn't like that, I wanted to get to the final of the Europa League with my team."
While Torres faces an arduous road to recovery, he is confident he will be back to peak condition in time to make the trip to South Africa in June with his international team-mates.
"The World Cup is the most important thing now," he added.
"After four years of waiting, if everything goes well, I do not plan to miss it.
"Today I start working towards that target."
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

crucial? ffs in what way? see if we can get 5th? oh and the magnificent europa league.Originally posted by Tee View PostSacrificed our crucial end of season for the WC. Thanks Fernando. Love you too.
****ing hell I wouldn't even blame Gerrard for sitting out the remaining games.
It's the world cup. It comes around every 4 years and you're in a team capable of winning the damn thing. Or you're in a **** teaming, playing **** football, playing with **** players and managed by a great manager and you're struggling with injuries. I know what I'd do.Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back. Oscar Wilde
