Torres de Force

How was it Abba put it?

"Can you do the sums Fernando?
We were shit and we were tired and we knew not where to go
We were so afraid Fernando
Every time you did a sprint it seemed your hamstring was too tight
And the form that you were in seemed to suggest the future wasn’t bright

"But there was something in the air last night, you weren’t so shite, Fernando
You were playing with such liberty, ‘gainst John Terry, Fernando,
Though we always thought that we could lose, we just hung on.
Do you think you’ll do the same again, or go lame again, Fernando?"

Mind them hamstrings, son!

Ahhh. He’s back. Little Nando. Just when you thought it was safe to write him off. Two elegant goals from the main man finished off a pretty feeble Chelsea and you can feel the quiet ooze of belief on the Anfield terraces.

Mr. Henry’s playing the long game, muttering about big signings and slow rebuilding. Woy’s got three wins on the spin. And they’ve Daniel Comolli to find them top talent all over Europe so that the revolution can be complete by 2012.

My first reaction to that was ‘bye bye, Woy’ but then I thought to myself ‘well, that’s just malicious, what would Woy say? I mean just cos Martin Jol was undermined by Comolli at Spurs and Dennis Wise took the guff out of KK’s sails at Newcastle doesn’t mean it’s going to happen at Anfield. It just looks like it will.

Meanwhile, Liverpool continue to be buoyed by the same old toothsome twosome that they’ve relied on for three years. Torres on Sunday, Gerrard on Thursday. Even Rafa managed to keep a team going on the strength of them two. You still feel the revival is hanging by the tender thread of a Nando ligament or a Stevie tendon.

And such is the Premier League this year that there seems every chance that six sides might yet be involved. Might I direct you to the final sentences of my last blog: ‘Chelsea will win the coveted double this year. Chumps League and Premier League. At a dawdle.’ If anything can guarantee a close race then it’s a statement like that from me.

And while the Blues lose, United snooze and it’s still bad news. Park Ji-Sung, sporting a plum rinse barnet that wouldn’t have looked out of place on the bonce of Joan Collins in Dynasty, snaffled a late winner against Wolves.

Park Ji-Sung's stylist

This led to another of this season’s perennial themes of– Mick McCarthy’s bass bleat. How Yorkshire is Mick? Talk about bluff. He couldn’t be more Yorkshire if he were a flat-capped whippet in Geoff Boycott’s teapot. It’s time we set his perpetual lament – ‘We played well, we got nowt, that’s footy’ - to the Hovis theme.

If there is owt else noteworthy about last weekend – apart from Mogga’s Middlesbrough actually winning a game – it was the never-ending rise of Newcastle. And the fact that Toonites are still not getting ahead of themselves.

There was a time when such a run of results – walloping Sunderland and winning at Arsenal – would have led to the sort of fantasies that even Terry Pratchett might have found a bit far-fetched.

But not with little Chris Hughton in charge. I’m guessing the only reason he hasn’t got a contract to sign is that he’s not fitting the bill at the mo. You, the Newcastle United manager, son? Where’s the farce? Where’s the training-ground bust-ups? What the hell is Joey Barton doing behaving like a reasonable young man?

Of course, Hughton does have Andy Carroll. I like Carroll. He’s the sort of lad you came up against in school matches and thought ‘oh fuck’ before he’d even kicked a ball. He’s been compared to Big Duncan Ferguson, but Andy can run and so far he’s only used his nut on the ball not the opponent.

And I can’t imagine Ferguson going to live with the club captain after a spot of domestic bother. There’s still a bit of me finds a big lunk of a Geordie having a put-me-up at the Nolans intriguing. There’s Bernadette tucking him in. Coleen giving him his cocoa. And Linda asking him if he’s in the mood.... Sigh... There was a time...

Lining up for Andy's bedtime story

Alan Hansen reckons Carroll might be able to take up the Shearer mantle. Well, that’s pretty onerous stuff. Shearer’s the best No.9 this country’s produced in my lifetime and I don’t think Carroll’s all that. But like my preferred choice of lass, he’s more than a handful. He’s also got a good left foot and too much hair. Mark Hateley, in other words. (But with time to be much better).

Capello would like him in the squad, I hear, and hellfire if Kevin Davies is in there then Carroll’s got to be next in very short queue.

This week we have the latest square-off between the Big Mouth and Noisy Neighbour in Manchester on Wednesday, complete with a two-mile alcohol exclusion zone around Eastlands. (Wouldn’t have been possible when Big Ron was manager.)

Of course there’ll be no Rooney but there’ll be plenty of other greedy little gets plying their trade. Although Balotelli won’t. Citeh are appealing but frankly the bloke deserves a red card every now and then just cos he’s so irritating.

I reckon Fergie’ll play it tight, Mancini will do the same (he never does owt else) and a 0-0 won’t bother either of ‘em. Having said that, Citeh will nick it, despite themselves.

And Stoke will win at home to Birmingham too. Well they would do, but a goalbound header by Kenwynne Jones will be cleared off the line by the ref’s toupee. And they will concede a goal in the last minute when a penalty is awarded against Asmir Begovic for handball. Poor old Pulis. His luck’ll change.

  25. You're right Robbo. We are a 2 man team still, no doubt about that. But as 2-men armies go, we are definitely the best, and probably good enough to stay in the youre-hopeless league till the rebuilding is done and we become a 4 or man team. It's time for us to keep a low profile and not talk too much about Top 4 or title challenges etc.. Right now, we're doing good being debt-free and trying to acquire promising youngsters. If only Woy would be a little more attacking and focus a tad more on younger talent (in the stead of the Konchesky's and Poulsens of the world) he might yet keep his job.

  38. Waxing lyrical, Robbo! That ABBA song re-write is brilliant, but I can't get the tune out of my head now.

    Oh, and hopefully, the Noisy Neighbours are going to get their gobs shut for once, Hernandez to score the winner in the 99th minute (and that's from a ManU fan...).

    ReplyDelete
  39. Don't want to be picky Robbo, but it's Damien Commoli, not Daniel. I think he did a good job at Spurs personally. I'm not so sure that he had much to do with Jol's demise, but was certainly blamed for it. He scouted a lot of quality players though, who the chairman then went and bought. Whether or not the manager had enough input into the player signings may have been the cause of some problems. I think he'll do a good job for Liverpool, and at least Woy has someone who he can blame next time they're in the relegation places.

  115. Ngog.

    That's some conspiricy theory in that video you posted.

    If it really is a time traveller, then it's a fuckin ugly one, pretty stupid too. Surely there wouldn't of been any satelites/cell sites in the '20's, therefore a mobile phone would have been useless anyway.

  116. Ngog, when I used the term "superstars" it was meant, er, loosely.

    Tracy sounds like a cracker, who's got the pictures?

  117. H, right now I couldn't care if he is the Cunt Incarnate, we're crying out for a striker who'll actually score goals regularly for us, if he can do that for us, so be it.

  122. I only managed to see the last 30 minutes of the Arsenal game and by the end of it (until Chamakh scored) I was wondering if the Arsenal game was an own goal... didn't see a lot of enterprise there... seemed like we were just making sure we held onto the win rather than look for another goal.

  123. Should have been ... Arsenal goal was an own goal.

    Easy Bo. It was more important to keep nerves and win the game. And we just did that. Flappyhanski made some good saves and Arshavin made some good runs on the flank. Apart from that the game was played on first gear.

    How to get to Heaven from Scotland ....

    I was testing children in my Glasgow Sunday School class to see if they understood the concept of getting into heaven..

    I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big jumble sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?"

    "NO!" the children answered.

    "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?"

    Again, the answer was 'No!'

    By now I was starting to smile.

    "Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweeties to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?"

    Again, they all answered 'No!'

    I was just bursting with pride for them.
    I continued, "Then how can I get into heaven?"

    A six year old boy shouted,

    "Yuv goat tae be fukin' deid"
    Kinda brings a wee tear tae yir e'e...

    I think I can safely say my team is shiter than yours SS. Actually started off pretty well at beginning of season and am now plummeting down both leagues at an alarming rate.

    Bo - up against you next in league. I always swore to basically leave my team alone throughout the season but am now tempted to use my wildcard. What's your view on that and have you used yours yet?

    Anyone else here at the moment?

    ReplyDelete
  141. Hey BHB..I'm here, still basking in the glory of hammering wigan 9-0 yesterday and rising up to 5th place.

    Got over my hammering by Helsinki last week by managing a decent enough victory over jacks (would've been close had arsene chosen to play walcott for even a min, as chamakh wouldnt have come off the bench). If it makes any difference, i played my wildcard in the sencond week of the season, after week 1 showed me what an idiot manager i would've made. have been doing pretty well ever since. you're also going to get another wildcard in jan, so might as well use this one.
    Dont know why Bo won't use his though.

    ReplyDelete
  142. This may be a controversial opinion but I do feel that as big as an annoying C**t as G.Neville is, he is just an 'Annoying' one. Barton on the other hand symbolises the immutable c**ntish of a right C**T.

    ReplyDelete
  143. My apologies AH I must have mis-predicted last nights result between Wigan and you. Hearty congrats on an unbelievable win!

    Thanks for advice on using wildcard (Bo - are you listening) I'll have a go and have a bit of a change around - and then watch all my 'new' players get injured or something

    ReplyDelete
  144. Are you not fond of Barton MR?

    ReplyDelete
  145. Can't stand the little (cover your ears) *+*?*** *** *%** BHB.

    I have a prediction that Holloway (as much as I love him for what he' doing at our club) may not last the season. I can see a Keeganesque rant coming on soon 'I'd luv, luv it'. Followed by a nervous breakdown.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Howdy pardners.

    I agree MR, Dolly Barton is indeed a massive gapping twat, but he pales in comparision when compared to the the uber minges that edit and present MOTD.

    Hanson comments that Essien's out of control two footed stamp, wasn't that bad but Fabregas' tackle (which I admit was a bad one) was utterly disgraceful, yet somehow an absolute horror tackle by Henry on Arshavin didn't get shown or mentioned. If you wanna talk about c-units, then these guys are the biggest to walk the earth since the vaginasaurus-rex

  147. Hello H2

    Just seen this on BBC website

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/9181246.stm

    Ray Wilkins has just left Chelsea with immediate effect. Bit sudden to say the least

    ReplyDelete
  148. Bo's used his wildcard, and beat me quite handily with it the other week peeps.

    ReplyDelete
  149. A bit strange that one 'Bells, he has been a good servant to the club.

    ReplyDelete
  150. H2

    I don't think - now that Robbo and CC have left - that the BBC actually employ anyone who isn't a self-absorbed smug YEAR with a vastly overinflated ego.

    ReplyDelete
  151. True Bells, true.

    Anyways, as for the ffl, I haven't used my wildcard nor have I changed my team for a few weeks. I took a gamble this week by leaving in Fanny Fart and Essien, but that paid off, with both scoring. I got the highest score in the H2H game this week and jumped into the top 10.......... It's all downhill from now.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I have to admit H2H I didn't eally understand where Hanson was coming from on MOTD last night. It was an obvious stright Red, he could hav snapped his leg easily.

    They really need to get some new people on there. None of them do any research (maybe Dixon), but the rest just shrug their shoulders and look at eachother when they don't know about a player or about a club. F*ck me thats their job
    and its all licence payers money, and who ever once told Mark 'thatched cottage head' Lawrenson that he is funny needs shooting.

    Christ I'm in a bad mood today.......and my ff team doing crap

    ReplyDelete
  153. H2, you might want to replace VdV for starters. I have just made him captain (replacing drogba) so he is probably going to get in 2 own goals and a red card this weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Maybe they could be renamed Pundicks, as you rigtly say MR, Mark Lawrenson is particularly irritating with his 'witty' comments. Gary Lineker just makes you want to punch the smugness out of him.

    Maybe there's something in air today cos I am in a real grotty mood too and its nothing to do with FFL as if it were I'd have been in a sh*t mood for weeks

    ReplyDelete
  155. AH.

    I put him in the team with the whole curse thing in mind. If I take him out he'll probably score a hatrick. I removed all L'pool players a few weeks ago and look how well they're doing now.

    ReplyDelete
  156. If you wanna good tip on what to do in the ffl team, yhen check out RBA's team. (A'shot Scumbags) He hasn't touced it since September yet he is doing really well in all the leagues he is in, including topping Jacks league.

    ReplyDelete

  160. went 4-4-2 last night dropping Chamakh, thinking RVP would play

    good decision, me

    but have crept up to 4th in Jacks HtoH

    ReplyDelete
  161. I'm not starting rumours or anything...just musing. Why on earth is Ray Wilkins leaving Chelsea "with immediate effect"? I mean someone like him who can speak Italian and act as liaison between the manager and the players... where else would he get a job like that?? Oh wait....

    (Archie MacE....)

    ReplyDelete
  162. Maybe Wilkins was only leading them sideways and not forward, just like his passing in former days

    ReplyDelete
  163. G'day all

    BlueH, I used one of my wild cards last week (in case you didn't know) and have to say it was worth doing... gave me a victory over Star and Ngog... the latter being a Un**ed man made the win sooooo much better.

    Tone, I dropped Chamakh from my squad last week (when I used my wild card), he'll probably go on to be the leagues top scorer now.

    ReplyDelete

  165. Evening all.

    Well done to H for thrashing me in the FFL. I am the avram grant of the FFL. Only when i got caught after attending a massage (ray) parlour (shudder...that made me think of the ray parlour/charlie dimmock likeness)....where was i...yes i was ruining a gag.........ahem

    Only when i got caught after attending the massage parlour, my missus cut off one of my gonads........BHB has the other, along with several other items.

    Job Update....Job Update....Job Update

    Job is going well now i have got my head round the commuting. Paying a whole bunch of money to be either squashed like sardines on each and every train or just have them cancelled and then try to find an alternative way home that doesnt call at every fucking station. I did get called a gentleman on the tube the other day as i let a lady get off the train ahead of me. She was stunned that someone did that for her. How we chuckled as i elbowed back past her on the platform so i could gain back the initiative. She laughed and laughed as she lay there getting smaller and smaller as i disappeared in to the distance.

    The actual job is good as well. Nice people, good at their jobs.......just wondering why they employed me? Some sort of community equality policy i guess.

    They have a rather strict email and internet policy so at the moment i darent even venture off the mainstream path...especially not to look at "www.WPC-body-part-snatchers.com"......its where i met BHB for the first time....sniff..

    ReplyDelete
  166. maybe they did take you to be the court jester after all scholesy..:)

    good to hear the jobs going well.good stuff and heres hoping RBA gets one too and gets back online.dont get me started about the commuting mate..once had to walk from London Bridge to Canary Wharf along the train tracks as the jubilee line trains refused to go further and the buses were on strike.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Is it me, or is Joey Barton's new haircut very 'Adolf'? What with the moustache at the start of the season, I'd be surprised if he didn't get driven round in the back of a large Mercedes convertible and holidays in the Bavarian Alps.

  168. Fuck me this blog's on the slide. Fewer and fewer comments, by the blog. More and more losers losing their cushy numbers so they can no longer make the inane comments they once used to. Further and further down the Blogtopsites rankings (not that that says much - they're all loser websites).
    One day you will all figure out you've been wasting your lives away and may, just may, if you have one ounce of intelligence left in those wasted bodies, figure out a better way to spend your dull, mediocre lives.

    ReplyDelete
  169. I'm not a bar code or a Barton fan, but look at their position in the league, partly due to the way he has been playing alongside Nolan( who, drat I dropped a few weeks ago from my FFL).

    His behaviour has got better, momentary lapse, freely pleaded guilty, no contest, banned for 3 games, but then as with most similar players they are marked men, who opponents will try to wind up.

    Wake me up, I'm almost agreeing with McCarthys comments

    BTW Bring it on tomorrow Jacks(and RBA, whereever you are)
