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.

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

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
