debauchery

His signing alone was worth it just to see scousers foaming at the mouth that 'THEIR TROPHY' you know the one they won FIVE TIMES LAAAAA ended up in his hands. Torres won the European Cup you scouse bar stewards, remember that. Anyway I don't think he deserves the hate. He put a lot of effort in for our club, but was on the wane when we signed him due to the dippers' poor handling of his injuries the season before. And his goals in the Nou Camp and Amsterdam are up there amongst my Chelsea memories. His goals record in cup competitions was actually not that bad, just his Premier League record that really stank.

Wouldn't mind another striker but listening to Jose speaking you can tell he feels he's got the squad he wants now.

The league will do me fine.

League over CL any day now. Simply because those horrible bar stewards CAN'T win it. We have to stop them at all costs. Had City been on to win it I'd have taken another European Cup but LFC winning the league? GOD NO. We need to save humanity.

What we've seen so far is so typical Jose. We've not fired on all cylinders bar 1 or 2 games (Southampton home and away, dippers at home) yet we're there, right where we want to be. We've a group of players with a winning mentality for big games, and a manager with the winning mentality for bread and butter league football. I think we'll be smiling in May.

Pleased he got the goal yesterday. Funnily enough if you just counted cup competitions his goal record for us would be up there with the best of them, but his lack of Premier League goals is where he's always fallen short.

The Fernando Torres of Liverpool didn't win anything. The Fernando Torres of Chelsea already has three shiny cups on his CV, and but for a cruel game of penalty area pinball, would have had a fourth at the start of the season. :)

Torres at the Nou Camp if we're talking about goals during 90/120 minutes. Hysteria. Drogba's penalty only surpasses it.

Brilliant. Has Jose unlocked the man of old.

I wouldn't trust Moyes to win any trophy. We beat some weak sides en route to the EL final but if Moyes was in charge I don't think we'd have got near it.

Hilarious how quick the media were to get their pens/laptops out after the Basel hiccup. The results since that game have put them back in their box. Jose is doing just fine and I think we'll be in the running for the two biggest prizes come the spring.

The main reason he gets stick, and perhaps justified, is his Premier League goal return for us. The Prem's the bread and butter. His scoring record in cup competitions is pretty formidable, and he's pierced the net of some of Europe's giants.

That game felt like a European Cup final. Absolutely gutted we didn't get it, it would have been a great prize to add to the collection. Plenty of positives though.

We haven't had much bad stuff really have we? Despite our instabilities we've continued to win shiny pots. Even this season just gone was chaotic yet only United and Swansea could say they had a better one taking all of it into account. But now it would be nice to have a stable period under Jose where the continuity makes everything move in a fluid direction.

BTW it's not an expectation it's a hope, that we can knock over Bayern again in August and banish the memory of the Atletico game.
