How can you compare Torres to what Judas did?? God the blasphemy!

I hope Kuyt runs rings around Cashley Cole. Can't stand that money grubber.

Oh? Torres actually took a pay cut to join us. Even though he's had a pay rise since then.

I agree that most players do have a price. But we are talking about Arsenal/Chelsea, who are derby rivals. Furthermore, even before the signing was made, Chelsea were tapping him up. For this, he was fined by the club. Then he moves to Chelsea. That's why he is called Cashley Cole.
Can you imagine what would happen if Insua goes to Manchester United for higher wages?

Anyway, agree to disagree. He's your player

OMG BERBATOV JUST SCORED THE WINNER

Joke? I think not.

How did he miss that?
Sums up our match really

wow talk about a knee-jerk reaction.

When have Manu been able to 'measure him up'? We beat them 4-1 the last time we played them!

Only happens when he's got no chance to score.

One more thing, Gerrard should really stop taking corners.

I admit we deserved to lose, but when are the officials going to start taking action against Drogba?! He is an absolute disgrace! He has done it time and time again against us and nobody has taken any action whatsoever. It is driving me up the wall!

Something special? Heskey?

By the way, he's fighting for a place in the World Cup squad. Do you think he can play regularly here?

Yeah, Gerrard and Torres played together less than 20 times last season and it was our best EPL season so far.
This season, we've already lost 3 games. Let's drop one of them!
I vote for Torres

Damn it, shouldn't have sold the beach ball to Sunderland. Now it has come back and bit our arses.

True. If I had just scored against one of the biggest clubs in the land, I don't care if it came off Lampard's arse or Fergie's whiskey bottle.

Oh, that's right. Rafa's the one earning thousands of pounds per week managing this team. He is the one making the decisions while we sit behind the TV criticising his decisions. Remember, Alonso performed badly, while Barry had one of the best seasons ever. Can you really blame Rafa for considering replacing Alonso with him? It is not Rafa's job to have faith, it is his job to pick the formation, tactics et al to win.

The team steamrolled everyone in the league towards the end of last season, and we were so proud of the team. Now, 9 games in and we are calling for the manager's head. Fickle.

I did not "call for Alonso's head". He was, and still is, my favourite player. Stop putting words in my mouth, thank you very much.
I'm not the manager. I'm not the one earning thousands managing the team as you said. I'm not the one having to face the wrath of fans after every loss. I'm not the one entrusted by the board to make the important decisions. I'm just an armchair supporter getting behind the lads.
As I said, it is not Rafa's responsibility to keep faith in under-performing players.

Why are you bringing this into the argument anyway? He may have chosen the wrong tactics, strategy, formation, whatever. It's not entirely his fault the team played like schoolboys (note that I said entirely). Heck, remember when Benny missed a complete sitter with the Chelsea goal at his mercy?

Our problem is, we do not have enough depth to cover for our stars. Then again, with the form Sunderland are currently in, how many players (players within our budget) could have gotten a stranglehold of the midfield yesterday? Even Man Utd needed an own goal to avoid defeat!

No excuses for the poor performance though.

We can't afford the payout anyway

Yeah, and who to replace Arbeloa?

lol another one affected by fergie's FACTS
