I can't. The irony of not being able to celebrate in the streets because you may have a fight with some cúnt that thinks you're invading him.

Running wine happily though at home!

Torres has scored the winner in the final of the EUROs.  Although that alone doesn't make you the best player in the world, that coupled with his general play for Spain in this tournament and for Liverpool this season surely puts him up there and certainly ahead of Ronaldo imo.

John the great thing about Torres is that i think he actually doesnt give a feck about stuff like that.

He was brilliant tonight, took his goal so well, and especially after not being great in the tournament, he could of snatched at it and wasted the chance....no way, sublime finish.

Nearly got another second half as well.



Love the lad and seriously cant see (in this game) the justification of subbing him, oh well will keep him fresher for us

To be honest i genuinley believe that he got lucky, lucky that Spains squad was so strong, taking Torres off for Guiza in that formation was a terrible decision and he invited Germany onto them when it shouldnt of happened.

Having said that i can understand the reasons behind it as it was a major final and given Spains recent history so fair enough, but it was more like we (England) play than a team that were a class above there opponents.


As i said though well in Spain.

Imagine if Germany scored after torres was subbed off?

It would have made things interesting.

I reckon we probably have about 2 seasons left to win the title before Gerrard and Carra are past their peak.  Similarly if we go another 2 seasons without winning a major trophy (title or CL) then people like Reina or even Torres might want a new challenge.  We desperately need to get the right players in quickly to compliment the likes of Gerrard and Torres before the whole side needs rebuilding.  Possibly 2 quality attacking players would do it.

I'd favour a classy winger and a striker.  With Crouch going, with Kuyt playing wide and with Voronin being very average, we would be royally fu.cked if Torres was to pick up a bad injury, so we need to bring in more quality up front, even if it isn't someone to necessarily play regularly with Torres.

The missing piece of the jigsaw is what made Rush and Drogba brilliant as opposed to very good - toughness. Once Rushie smelt the goal a defender could not stop him, he used his hips, elbows, whatever, to ensure he scored... the mark of a goal hungry striker.

Once he develops that skill we can start dreaming the league again.
