matthew123 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Only 73 points Quids - 7 down on last week, damn!Someone actually had 74 (without Torres, who got me 34 pts) and looking at their team they still have Given and Barry to get them points tomorrow night!Not seen Torres that composed in front of goal - looks like he has stepped up to a brand new level. Be interesting what Chelsea have in store next week (apart from kicking him) especially since Petr Cech is suspended.Turned on Goals on Sunday this morning and to my surprise there was no Phil Brown sitting on the Sky sofa!

Annasfield Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 92 games, 58 goalsLeague: 46 in 64I feel so priviliged to have him in our team and also to watch him week in week out. The best part is he totally gets Liverpool football club and comes across as being really down to earth.The night we battered Real Madrid 4-0 at Anfieldhttp://awbroady.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/fernando-torres-liverpool-real-madrid-champio_19843561.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/198/#findComment-252653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew123 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 I doubt any player in English football, since at least Ian Rush, has ever had a superior goal to minutes on pitch ratio in open play than Torres over a 2½ years spell.

matthew123 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Looking at the Champions League games this week none of them really ignite the imagination unless perhaps it's your own team. But if I had to pick out one clash as a potential thriller it would be Man United versus the German Champions Wolfsburg at Old Trafford on Wednesday. With United playing 3 days later against a confident Sunderland I suspect Fergie may put out a little bit of a squad / first team mix in CL and maybe, just maybe, could be a surprise result on the cards, and that is my big prediction of the week United to lose on Wednesday night!

Atila Reincarnate Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Interesting article in the Times this morning naming 50 people to have "fouled" up football, among them Ian Wright, Rooney, the fake Ronaldo, Martin Edwards, George Best, Bill Shankly, El Tel, Mourhino, Cashley Hole, Drogaba among others.

matthew123 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Steve Bruce fumming that Darren Bent decided to pass penalty duties to a team mate after he scored first penalty... what a tit blabbering to the press when he himself is too scared to watch actual penalties being taken. Maybe Bruce is trying to sound like a hard man with a trip to Old Trafford on Saturday where of course he'll show his usual bottle when deciding his tactics for the game...

Keef Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Didn't see the match, what was the score at the time of that penalty? If it was a close match at that stage, I'd say the manager has a point.He's still a knob though.

Jah Lush Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Unfortunately I missed all the football this weekend. Too busy partying. I thought Spurs would win but no quite so easily after Burnley's heroics in the Cups of last season. Well done Robbie Keane.

matthew123 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Bellamy scored against Liverpool last season for City at Anfield - and he showed respect then, I'm guessing it works both ways.
