Torres: 10 Assists since his arrival at Liverpool (07/08 to now)

Rooney : 26 Assists since Torres' arrival at Liverpool (07/08 to now)

I'd agree that Torres is a much, much better striker than Rooney, simply because he's an out and out striker - Rooney isn't. As much as Fergie will want him staying within the opposition's half, Rooney will always drop back and try and get on the ball as much as possible. And as his goal-scoring record is improving as he gets more freedom, he could even bag more goals this season than Torres

Football isn't basketball, stats don't hold the answer.

You never had a Ronaldo in your team, a guy who can score from everywhere, at every position. Without Ronadlo we already see the changes in Rooney. And he is a much more influencial player than Torres, he creates so many chances, he's giving so much on a pitch. I will never exchange one Rooney for a bag of Torres, and not because he is playing at Liverpool, though of course it matter in a way. ;)

I think the questions of the chopping block for Zola will begin after this match if we lose. Things are certainly looking bleak. Upper management seems to be in a mess, I can't believe we have no money, let alone the fact that we don't seem to have the players to even put out a decent squad!

Was anyone listening to BBC Radio Five Live Sports Extra at around 16.35 today? It all went quiet on the commentary front, with just the crowd being heard in the background. Then suddenly you hear someone saying "Hello?" and then a man moaning as if he was crying like a kid. Was very weird indeed! They've played a message about having problems bringing the current program and then switched to a repeat interview between Simon Mayo and Robbie Coltrane.

West Ham really needs to sort it out and they need to do it soon!

on a side note I really, really hate the way chelsea plays! Even though they deserved that win they play such **** football! Would seriously rather watch paint dry :hmmm:

Hiddink got them playing defensively last season, and although they cocked it up a bit against Barcelona, they seem to have stuck with it. Have to be honest I would rather even Man United won the title, I seriously despise chelsea

the amount of shirt pulling that drogba endures i think he can afford a flop. liverpool's loss had nothing to do with luck.

Nope, we played crap and I am not trying to blame Drogba for that, I just think it was time somebody did something about his diving, and feigning injury

They played the same way ever since Mourinho's days.. Scolari tried to change that but it didn't work coz they lack the flare.. they have sparks.. I feel they are easy to break down.. I feel Rafa doesn't start with his best 11 and I feel Benayoun is one of them.. too early to say who will win the title but we ain't so bad either this season ;)

Nope, we played crap and I am not trying to blame Drogba for that, I just think it was time somebody did something about his diving, and feigning injury

and Rooney too :crazy:

On another note.. what a signing Vermaelen is turning out to be! His goal was crucial.. great goals all around.. and it was so nice to see Henry in Isinglton :happy: "I belong here", he said.. man which of our defenders would I trade for Henry to play in center with Walcott and Arshavin :p

Also great to see Walcott score.. Bendtner's goal was crisp and Cesc kissing the badge was a message to the pres.. "SHUT UP abt me leaving to Barca already!"

This one was for the Arsene Wenger.. no doubt..

oh and I understand why Big Sam was upset at the end.. but refs do this in England.. they give advantage to the home side.. BB Rovers should've had that penalty.. but then Ade should've been sent off last month and Rooney yellow carded for that dive.. and so many more incidents where this happens.. time to bring in the replays.. I can't see why not?

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson questioned referee Alan Wiley's fitness after his side's 2-2 draw with Sunderland.

Anton Ferdinand's injury-time own-goal gave United a point, but it was Wiley's display that incurred Ferguson's wrath.

He said: "The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. He was not fit.

"You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous."

Ferguson twice headed towards the touchline during the second half to make his feelings known about decisions made by the officials.

I have been saying this for years, glad i'm not alone in thinking that

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!

      Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
