Robster

They didnt show it ? I thought I had just missed it

Is there still a chance that the inital statement was meant purely as a low-level threat to get the club to get its finger out and then when nothing happened during the window, he decided to go through with leaving ?

I know it was a good header by Torres but was Cech's positioning all over the place ?

Beat me to it. What an absolute joke

It does for us these days

Good. He's coined enough over the last few weeks and then refused to play Wednesday night in an arrogant attempt to force the club's hand. Well done to them for holding out & forcing the transfer transfer request. Doesn't deserve a testimonial after the last month. Within the last 6 months, what ever is going on in the background of this club, it has forced (probably not the word), 2 people in KK and Shay, to act in a way which we probably wouldnt expect - in terms of how it affects the fans. Heavens knows why they acted in a way that comes across like they want to shaft the club big style and forgets the fans reactions/feelings. Cant be good.

Harsh

And I think he avoided injury too...

There is a flaw in your plan. We have to have players capable of that kind of accuracy.. and even the ability to shoot at goal

This should be a natural instinct for a Premiership Centre Forward. Must be some good coaching going on during the week

About 10 seconds before Torres first goal, 5Live said the atmosphere was "sterile" as they realised no goals were coming. Now at the final whistle its all "You'll never walk alone". No doubt they will claim credit for inspiring their team on to a late win.

Tough call

You can imagine a lot of players in their squad kicking off though if they are being told about the possibility of being used as part of the given deal. Someone like Sturridge, good young prospect, is going to go mental at the thought of playing with Butt and Duff instead of Robinho

Our penalty (havent seen it personally but it sounds like that went our way?)

Dont say that, they still have 24 hours in which to sell him

From someone who isnt able to watch it, it doesnt sound like there is anything to suggest we can go on and win this. Take the point, avoid the defeat and move on.

Penny for Ashley's thoughts at Half Time

It could be very nasty Howay lads. Lets turn it round today

I am trying to be positive, really am but its difficult.

I remeber the home game against Nott'm Forest in 95/96. Won 3-1. Lee scored 2. He was absolutely magnificent. Probably my favourite performance of his - and its a tough choice.

What a surprise

Sacked.. will be interesting to see if thats true or just a load of bluff
