Blue Armour

That's the one thing he wasn't doing right at all the past few months....Today however was a marked improvement...I half-expected him to stop running when Sturridge surged ahead in extra time, but he continued his run and duly got his reward.

Today's goal was the kind of finishing I've associated him with...what a sweet strike.

Just to make to sure he's not the one donning a Torres suit and playing? Sure,why not?. We've spent millions on just about everything else...

I've said it before...Brana is the type of player that Mourinho would have loved to have back in the old days.

Yes.

Lol..no, in fact I thought it was part of a script when he came on soon after they equalized...major relief at the end, no doubt about it.

Torres scores while Heskey's on the pitch...coincidence? I think not

Tbf...we did beat Everton twice this season already

Listen buddy, I think you are making a mistake here. Hardly anyone's disrespecting Benfica. We're all just excited because we have an away goal, and have the prospect of facing a big team in the next round. We know the tie is far from over. So chill...

Malouda played pretty well against Leicester...will be interesting to see if he can replicate that form.

Let's hope the 08/09 will be followed by another 09/10

There's also Sturridge...

Why did they name a football cub Tottenham hotspurs and not Tottenham FC? Because people would take it to be a fast food joint! Bit lame, I know...

I was hoping to see Lukaku and Drogba upfront together at least once, just for the sake of having two man-mountains for the opposition to deal with...shame its not going to happen...

Even more ridiculous considering they beat us 3-1 at the bridge...time for payback.

I agree that Torres should start regularly, but I don't think that means Drogba should be laid to rest just yet. El nino still hasn't convinced me that he WON'T go into another goal-scoring drought. Right now, it has only been two games since he has scored so its a non-issue. Of course, even if he doesn't score and yet still manages to regularly assist people like Kalou or Sturridge, I wouldn't mind.

Lol..yeah...It only takes a couple of games for people to change their minds here..

Simple. His arm was never supposed to be in the way. That's why we see Ivanovic and Luiz tie their hands behind their backs when blocking a shot or cross. That being said, it was a 50-50 and would have been harsh were it given

Lol...I wouldn't mind either if that guaranteed results for us...sooner or later the main striker has to score..its only been 2.5 games since he has scored so I won't be complaining yet.

Like I said after the city game, I hate the way he positions himself. You're more likely to find Ramires or Sturridge in the box to collect the cross rather than Torres. But as long as he can still help out the team, I'm not going to complain.

RDM is hoping the FA can get the dates changed...the game comes barely 2 days before a potential semifinal CL clash. Man utd managed the get their dates changed on a similar occasion in 1999, any chance we'll get similar treatment?

....still a lousy picture As a side note, its funny how there are two no. 11's walking dejectedly away from the camera....

Not necessarily...he plays really well against certain types of opposition...namely in games that don't require much urgency

That is one lousy matchday picture...
