oops, put in a similar topic at the same time. Anyway I agree with the OP, Torres does not look bothered and his attitude is a disgrace. He's had moody moments even during his glory days but we're seeing them in every game now. Time to think about moving him on, especially now that he has another kid, he might want to think about returning to Spain.

I think he's nearing the end of the line with us. He hasn't looked arsed for so long. Sick of this attitude from him, his heart is clearly not with the club any more. If we could get around £50M from a foreign club for him, I would take it in a heartbeat.

Oh f*** off, just f*** off!

Torres has looked awful so far. totally out of sorts

Draw. we should really batter them but Woy's awful tactics away from home will never permit us to win on our travels.

They will be when their players die of heat stroke while playing in Qatar 2022.

This is madness. Ashley must really hate Newcastle.

No it won't. I'd rather he not be seen as a failure compared with Mourinho, which is the current perception towards Rafa.

I love Beardo but it makes me laugh to think he will be attempting to plot our downfall. He's the least managerial type of ex-footballer I'd expect. Even with Hughton they were slipping recently, I doubt old Quasimodo will be able to outwit us.

He'll be gone before Feb I reckon. He's had a shocker at Inter. The one club that were guaranteed to win their national title year after year (even bloody Mancini managed it) yet Rafa's Inter are way off the pace. The injuries excuse won't cut it either, that excuse never saved a manager from the sack. He'll be back in Spain before the summer I reckon.

Lucas and Meireles make a good pair. I don't like Gerrard in the orthodox central midfield role unless we're playing really weak opponents at home. Gerrard should be played further forward nehind Torres, and Maxi and Kuyt supporting. That's a pretty good line up although question marks remain over Kuyt and Maxi.

They just couldn't wait to sack him. They've been waiting for any slip up as an excuse to get rid off him. What a joke club.

Joke selection to include Iniesta and Xavi but no Sneijder. Iniesta especially was below his usual standards this year and didn't even play all that well in the WC. Seems scoring the winning goal in the final will get you an automatic selection in this award!

Getting sick of this s*** that keeps rearing its ugly head. Now Broughton is coming out the woodwork to suggest we become housemates with the bitters across Stanley Park. It's insulting for both ourselves and the BS that we're patronisingly being told it's best for both clubs to share since we're clearly not important enough to warrant our own individual stadiums. Apart from AC and Inter, what big club shares its home with its local rival? And AC and Inter aren't even bitter rivals, they regularly exchange players and even managers. So sharing stadiums isn't much of a deal for the supporters of those clubs. We on the other hand, cannot stand the sight of the s**** and vice versa. People that should know better are deliberately ignoring over 100 years of history, and our very formation as a club due to the importance of the stadium issue, which is unacceptable. We should never share a home with any club, least of all the f***ing bitter blues.

Blatter came to power by bribing African officials for votes. His number 2, Jack Warner, hates England and has publicly criticised us on a number of occasions. Oh, and he made a fortune by selling thousands of World Cup tickets he has received from FIFA. Then add the other crooked FIFA officials Panorama exposed. FIFA is so corrupt is defies belief that they are the rulers of world football. f*** them, I agree with Bates we should form our own governing body with the European nations. Screw FIFA and their bias and favouritism towards the developing countries who contribute jack all to football.

Rafa has lost the plot. And so many people here want him to return to Liverpool! The Inter fans will never forgive him if he is the man to break their hold over Serie A. He's doing a grand job of it at the moment.

Not many people fancy going to the Middle East for various and obvious reasons (local cultural sensitivities, lack of alcohol, almost a total lack of secularism thus running the risk of offending local religious customs, segregation of the sexes etc.). Not to mention the unbearable middle eastern heat during the summer. What fun is it to go to a world cup and not be able to travel out and about during the day? Even the Arabs shut up shop and nap during the afternoon to escape the heat, so what chance do foreigners have of enjoying the outdoors? And more to the point, what exactly is there to do in Qatar? I'd wager it's similar to Dubai but on a far smaller scale, meaning there is nothing really to see but shopping malls! No thanks, I think a lot of people will sit this one out.

Loving the Mirror articles, sums the fiasco up perfectly.

The West Europeans should protest this stupid decision by boycotting both tournaments and starting up our own, free from the corruption of FIFA. All the top European teams plus Brazil, Argentina and a few other notables from S.America, Africa and Asia should be invited to this tournament. Screw FIFA, corrupt b******s.
