Default Torres

This lad's got it all, was getting kicked round the park yesterday, but just carried on and bagged a sublime hat trick.

6 goals in the seaon so far and a star in the making. Unlike some strikers at other clubs, this lad is worth every bit of the 20m.

Now Rafa, stop d1cking about and play the lad.

Of course. It just looks to those on the outside that he values the Carling cup above the Prem.

Still say Liverpool are weak at the back which will cost them. Arsenal look great now but I think once the cold weather hits and they're involved in a few battles the confidence of some of the players will drop and they'll slip away.

weak at the back ? not even conceded from open play in the league yet ??

a factor for arsenal, they have a few players that will be in the african nations cup come Jan. that might dent their progress

In terms of cover. I fail to see what difference conceding from a pen or open play makes considering it's your defenders and keeper giving away the pens.

Anyway I'll leave you with your Torres w@nkfest

You have a lack of cover at CB should one of your main men get injured is my point.

He's started well but lets wait till the end of the season to judge if he was worth 20m.

Although a good player Martins doesn't score against some kids and Torres scores a hat trick against a full premiership team, so who's better ?
