Erm, that I'm not sure. Apologies.

It was Mata but don't think it counted as an assist. Onuoha(I think) and Paddy Kenny got a touch before Torres blasted it home.

2 actually - Terry's goal & Torres's 3rd. Precisely my point.

Mata now has 12 goals and 18 assists in all competitions this season, which is more than David Silva - 8 goals & 17 assists.

Mata.

Where are all the Lampard moaners now??

I know. It's still related..

I am. Didn't type it in capital letters.

Against Liverpool?! Heck no!

Excellent performance today. No. Drogba has to start at Wembley. He "owns" that stadium. Playing Torres would risk too much of all the drama with Liverpool.

Impressive performance. Torres hat-trick. Hutchinson returning. Six goals. QPR spanked. Goal difference closed down. Perfect day.

They are right. Our PL record WITHOUT Ramires reads - P8 W1 D5 L2 QPR(A) - LOST Wigan(A) - DREW Fulham(H) - DREW Swansea(A) - DREW Man Utd(H) - DREW Everton(A) - LOST Wigan(H) - WON Arsenal(A) - DREW

:lol:

He bought him in advanced.

RDM said they would consider appealing if there's any possibility but admits it will be very difficult. Here's the thing I'm curious about(posted this last week IIRC). Had Madrid & Barcelona made it to the final and Messi & Ronaldo are both suspended, would UEFA ignore the plea not to suspend them for the Champions League final?!

Not sure anyone have come across this but just to stoke things up a little. http://www.goal.com/...l-says-frank-de And... http://www.guardian....-bayern-chelsea

This is just weird, coming from an Everton fan. And I still blame you guys for not beating those cavemen in the semis!

That and even IF Torres finds his form, we still another striker as an option. Can't be flogging him to death like Rafa did at Liverpool. Loads of BS from Daily Fail. It's not like we're not aware of it.

The cynical side of me is saying that Marin's trying to get on our good books already when he said he opted us over Spurs!

If you count winning London derbies in all competitions this season, then yes we have. Beaten QPR & Spurs in the FA Cup. However, think Tom was talking about Premier League London Derbies this season, which we have yet to win one. This is our last chance of redemption, if you like.

The little man posted this on Twitter yesterday.

Lets see what happens today first...

Do think he will be fit for the CL final. The club is probably just trying to wrap him around a cotton wool for now and make sure his hamstring injury doesn't get worse.

So basically you're suggesting we take a gamble on Torres and Sturridge for the first half of next season at the very least?! I'm sorry, that just ain't gonna work. IF we are to challenge at the very top again, we need to have a proper striker in the team - clinical & a team player. Stick with Torres & Sturridge for next season and I'm afraid we'll be challenging for the Top 4 again, not for the title. Also, you made it sound so easy to sell Torres and buy a new striker in the winter transfer window! Which club out there with a proper ambition of their own would sell their striker half way through season when they are trying to achieve their own targets? Even IF they do want to sell, that club would surely inflate the striker's price and it would be heck a lot costlier than the price during the summer transfer window. Furthermore, no clubs out there would want to take a gamble and purchase Torres in the January transfer window if he isn't firing at all! In addition, the way you're saying about how we won't have any money left to buy a striker is as if we're gonna spend 20-30+ million for all our next purchases. Who's to say the club won't surprise us with more cheap bargain & good signing like Marin? Newcastle managed to get Cabaye, Cisse & Ben Arfa all for less than 10 million each! We'll also may be looking to sell 2-3 players in the summer which means there would be additional funds from there to add into the transfer budget for the next manager.
