Fernando Torres

[bushman 2,043]

Exactly, Rafa came in, Torres scored a few goals - he's back everybody thought!

Actually, he wasnt!

So now Benitez has been trading on the premise that he is a Torres 'whisperer' (play on horse whisperer) and he's being let down by Goldibollox!

So Benitez, time to man-up and realise Fernando is only going to embarrass you, like he has done to 2 previous managers and hundreds of thousand fans. Put Torres where he belongs, on the bench!!!

DO NOT let him destroy CFC and you!!!!

I too feel, if Rafa plays Torres, it ´ll be his demise.

However, I am not sure what´s behind all this shit about Freda. Sometimes, I feel like most of these recent managers are told to play him. There is so much crap going on with this club, sometimes I feel like crying out loud for some Saviour, Jesus to come & help the club.

I didn't think.

All he needs now is for the romantic return to Liverpool to go tits up then i don't think even @Backsteet9 can defend him.

In the 90s Blackburn was the first club to win the Premiership after a serious money injection. They called it "winning with a credit card". Credit cards are made out of plastic therefore Blackburn fans were called "plastics". Fast foward a decade and Chelsea are cahsed up and the term had evolved since Rover's glory days. The term is now used to refer to glory hunting fans that only support the club after winning trophies and would probably stop being fans once the club stopped being succesful.

I'm 99% sure that isn't true. I never heard it around that time to be honest and I've always understood it just to mean 'not real'. In those days the United fans were simply called gloryhunters.

We need somebody. However, without any controversy Chelsea would not be the same, I feel. Controversy is their game. Too numerous to even mention here. I might be here until 7p.m. & miss Chelsea´s game, then.

Really? That's what I was told. I'll take your word for it.

I could be wrong, but I never heard it around then. There wasn't a huge amount of antipathy around Blackburn's spending because, well they were Blackburn. It's hard to hate them and Jack Walker was a 'local boy done good'.

I actually have a funny feeling it comes from Rafa's apparent comments about the flags, but I could be wrong.

[bushman 2,043]

Well, speaking about glory-hunters. Over all these years every time I registered at any football forum, revealed that I support Chelsea, immediately I was called a glory-hunter.

The crowd of envious cunts galloped in & insulted me. I am almost certain, most of you folks experienced the same.

It might be an anachorism on my part. Maybe people only started referring to Blackburn's 'credit card' thing recently.

No plastic was around a lot longer than that - I'm leaning towards Spikes description - as when credit cards were first introduced (showing age) it was plastic money, e.g. Not real - like the 'rubber cheques'...

To be fair words and meanings change with new generations - look at 'gay' for instance, used to mean lively and happy

So actually I think you're both right on balance

Euuugh that's just wrong - please delete

[bushman 2,043]

There is no need to post these obscenities here, I feel.

Whether, we like Ferda, Rafa or....no need to insult them.

Torres is done, completely done.
