Torres, last night, was the invisible man.

[Annasfield]

If you win you are the smugest people on the planet. If the result doesn't go your way - it's everyone elses' fault and you feel victimised because you haven't spent as much, or the ref was biased, or your players are targeted.......

Does my head in.

Torres was clearly a waste of money being the second highest goal scorer in the Premiership this season (which as if you don't already know this, is his first). What was Rafa thinking?!

[mockney piers]

Torres is rubbish, Ronaldo is rubbish. I wouldn't go applying for Hansen's nearly vacant job* any time soon.

*the BBC pundit one, not the endorsing everything that ever existed one.

[atila the gooner]

Torres was the invisible man last night, and your fans celebarated as if you'd won the world cup. The myth that your fans are the best in England, is exactly that, a myth.

[Keef]

Fine, fair enough. Torres was the invisicle man last night (one game), and our fans are sh!t. Cool.

[mockney piers]

Aaaaaaaanywa, Stevenage got a crucial 3-2 win at home to York. It's very tight for those play-off spots in the conference. Could I be seeing them at Wembley 2 years in a row?

keef

now I know how you feel when you enjoy seeing me get so worked up in other discussions!

[atila the gooner]

It's funny how we are labelled as being smug when we win, and are seen as blaming everyone else when things don't go our way, because of course NO other fans do that do they, especially not, god forbid, Liverpool fans???? And when we have the audacity to claim there was a perfectly good shout for a penalty turned down, not for the first time in recent weeks, we are called whingers. Isn't that strange.

Dude, you lost it when Alan Dale was kind enough to point out to us all how much you hate Americans! ;-)

Atila, all other fans moan when things don't go their way, it's the way they moan. Case in point... Mourinho will never ever take his hat off to Liverpool, he will, til the day he dies, say that we never beat them and that it was "the goal that wasn't". Now, that goal from Garcia was iffy, I won't deny it, but it stood, and over the 2 games we were good for the result.

I just hope that IF (and it's still a very big if) Liverpool knock the Arsenal out next week, you guys won't be going on about a penalty that wasn't in years to come...

[Ladygooner]

Interesting piece in the Evening Standard about how Dirk Kuyts family are neighbours with the ref with Hink..........! Go Atila!

[atila the gooner]

Apparently the Dutch have a nickname for the ref, they call him the blind bird. Now why do you suppose that is?????

[Ladygooner]

I can understand the blind bit, but bird? Has he had a recent sex change operation?!

[Annasfield]

Don't forget - Babel is Dutch so he must have had something to do with it too.

[Keef]

And that Van Persie, he's obviously betrayed you, the b@stard!

[Jah Lush]

Oh! chill out for f**k's sake!

Only saw the slimmest of highlights on the BBC News. But what I will say is this .....I didn't think it was a penalty (Dives for cover). You have the audacity to call Torres a diver. Hleb or should that be Pleb went down at the merest of touches like he'd been shot by a sniper (runs for the hills).

Sometimes you get the breaks, sometimes you don't. All to play for at Anfield and this time I hope to watch the game in full down the pub. Come on the Pool!!!!>:D<

way to calm the situation there Jah.. ;-)

[atila the gooner]

Jahs only jealous because they haven't ever played in the Champs League, and "61, Never again". That always shuts up spurs fans.

Honestly, when I read through this latest bit of thread about last night's game I was laughing so hard it hurt. Atila, you're just too easy to wind up. Don't let it get to you. Seriously, I was joking about the penalty and I just knew you'd bite.

And, no I'm not in the slightest bit jealous of you're club's success. Really I'm not. Good luck in the 2nd leg. I just want to see an enteraining game with plenty of goals and may the best team win.

[atila the gooner]

Jah, I believe you, really, really. But then I still think Fulham won't be relegated, and that Saddam Hussein was just misunderstood.

[Jah Lush]

Actually, I think Fulham will stay up...just. But you're wrong about Saddam.

[atila the gooner]

The poor man was simply misguided.

[Keef]

Definitely shouldn't have been handed over to be executed by a mob, but that is definitely a whole other thread! :-S

[atila the gooner]

Yes, Saddam should have been given a stiff reprimand and told to run along and not do it again.

[Keef]

Like I said, different thread, I shouldn't have said anything.

[Jah Lush]

Could he play football though? I see him as a sort cross between Norman "Bites yer legs" Hunter and "Chopper" Harris. Come to think of it. If you put a moustache on Avram Grant and stuck him in a uniform there'd be quite similarity there.
