Very similar cool finishes though Sabre. Ok Kenny's was in a European cup final and Torres' was only against Bolton

i think the comparison should be between torres and rush not torres and dalglish

torres is a number 9 not a number 10

or a number 7 ?

For f*ck's sake - Rafa didn't use Torres because his main strength is getting in behind the opposition defence. If said defence does not venture more than 6 yards off their own goal line, the main threat is negated.

Why is this still an issue several months on? Why the little sarcastic digs at every opportunity?
Shall I reference the utter b*llocks you and a certain little precious nobody from Ladyboy Land kept spouting about rotation not working, and that we'd never click until Rafa "woke up and stopped being so stubborn"? No - because I'll get banned if I do. Where has this argument gone? The way of zonal marking - right up the protagonist's ar*eholes.
I recieved a boatload of stick from the ignorant, bigoted tw*ts on here who believed they knew more than a proven coach, and that rotation was the problem. Have I even once said "Ha ha - you thick c*nts - I was right, and you were wrong!"?

No, because gloating is a sign of insecurity, Mick - now stop it.

C'mon Lando give us a bit of slack here. The team is one best run of form since Rafa took over, all the while rotating and twisting and turning the formation, so I've gotta have a go about something else haven't I 

Now FWIW I think Rafa didn't play Torres against Birmingham for three reasons, none of which were anything at all to do with Birmingham defending deep. Reason one was the main reason, I think he giving his star striker another week off as he thought like most of us that we would trounce Birmingham without Torres. Number two, was because the Spaniard didn't do a tap in midweek away to Porto and it was a way of giving him a kick up the erse. Number three was a finger to the press who questioned the decision (rightly as it turned out) to leave Torres on the bench at Pompey.

Now obviously we didn't trounce Birmingham, and in the press conference the first question is "why didn't you play Torres?". Rafa spins the nonsense about them defending deep, playing between the lines etc etc. That's how I saw it at the time, he was taking the p!ss out of the press, no more, no less.

If you look at the initial "sarcastic dig", it is done with smileys and not really intended as a dig at you and you alone. There were plenty who tried to make sense of the comments at the time, not just you mate. Sorry if it and I p!ssed you off though, that wasn't the intention.

As for the rotation, I apprecuiate your reluctance to gloat about the successes of the system to me and that bloke from "ladyboyland"  , but I don't think it's because you're being nice to us mate if I'm totally honest. I think it's because like the rest of us you are waiting until the proof is conclusive, which it is far from being at the moment as we all know.

What we are currently proving is that it is possible to win games and win them well while rotating. We are also proving conclusively that it is posssible to play with fluency and rhythm while rotating. Whether we ultimately prove that mass rotation Rafa style is the way to achive a finishing position i the League which is a fair indication of the teams abilities remains to be seen. A month ago rotation was dead in the water, now it is the panacea. Such is football. My feeling is that even if we continue to play as well as we currently are, the mistakes we have already made in the League will ultimately cost us the title, but we'll see.

The one thing I disagree with you about is gloating being a sign of insecurity. Should we win the title and you gloat about the fact that me the bloke from ladyboyland  calling it wrong, I won't think you are insecure at all. I would expect it, such has been the depth of the trenches which have been dug. I would expect it, and respect it (I'll also have the compensation of course that if we do win the title although it proved me clueless, we did win the title ). If on the other hand, we do finish ten, twelve points off the top, I won't be gloating. I will though be pointing out that we didn't give ourselves the best chance. No insecurity involved in that.

He's just a fat reporter for Sky News, but I thought he played well against Liverpool.

Jealous of your banging men in dresses?

No sailor.

maybe if you save up for a few years you can leave your council flat for a holiday mate, you should visit here and the maybe your ignorance would stop, but then i suppose i am relying on you also getting rid of your stupidity so its probably a non starter, although with them tints i fear you are more likeley to visit the lady boys, or even become one.

you just stay in nottingham mate, probably safer than you venturing into the big wide world although they do flip burgers the same so you could probably get a job     

your job- flip burgers

my job- last week australia, this week malaysia and singapore (in singapore now)

But there are four women to every one man in Nottingham.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt Nottingham have more nightclubs and bars per square mile than any other city in Europe ?

and lando narrows his chances even more by having streaked hair and no personality
