Hmmmm....who is the biggest bellend? Torres or some smackhead who paid 50 odd quid for a shirt with Traitor on the back (front)?

Stamford Bridge detonated.
Mission Accomplished.
Mission Accomplished.
FERNANDO TORRES left Liverpool because he couldn’t wait for them to improve. But it has taken Kenny Dalglish only 28 days to demonstrate the Spaniard may ultimately pay for that impatience.
“You should have stayed at a big club†taunted the jubilant away supporters as the £50million striker’s Chelsea debut was ruined yesterday by the team he deemed not good enough to meet his ambitions.
It is only four weeks since Dalglish answered the call from Liverpool owner John Henry to replace the departed Roy Hodgson, but the transformation has been remarkable.
Infused with growing self-belief and a burgeoning spirit, Dalglish’s insistence on allowing his players to express themselves within the disciplined framework built alongside coach Steve Clarke is clearly reaping rewards.
If the standard of opposition beaten in Liverpool’s previous three games had failed to fully convince the doubters, those naysayers will surely be silenced this morning.
Poor Torres. Barracked by the away fans and hardly afforded a rapturous welcome from the Chelsea followers, the Spaniard appeared distracted throughout, to the point where he even ran out for the second half behind Steven Gerrard into the Liverpool half.
The one consolation for Torres is that he wasn’t on the field when Raul Meireles struck the winner after 69 minutes, the forward having been substituted to cheers from the away supporters just three minutes earlier.
This result inflicted only Chelsea’s fifth defeat in their last 132 home league games, two of which have now come against their bitter rivals from Anfield.
Make no mistake, there was nothing lucky about this result. And it was a tactical triumph for Dalglish over Chelsea counterpart Carlo Ancelotti, the Anfield manager’s decision to persist with three centre-backs – bolstered by the returning Jamie Carragher – helping limit the Londoners to precious few chances with Pepe Reina barely having a save to make.
The midfield battle, so often decisive in clashes between these teams, was emphatically won by the visitors where Meireles revelled alongside the excellent Lucas Leiva and Steven Gerrard

This, though, was a true team performance, from the excellent Glen Johnson at left-back right through to the tireless Dirk Kuyt in attack. New £22.75m forward Luis Suarez, an unused substitute, wasn’t even needed.
Torres, inevitably, dominated the build-up. Allegations from Liverpool supporters that the Spaniard has moved to a club lacking class were strengthened by the pre-match patter of the obnoxious pitch announcer at Stamford Bridge.
Some home fans had wasted no time in saluting their new signing by unveiling a “Torres El Nino†banner in the Matthew Harding Stand that was a direct replica of one that adorned Anfield for the past three-and-a-half seasons.
However, a lack of knowledge was highlighted by failing to notice that what they thought was a squiggle underlining the message was in fact an image of the Shankly Gates. Still, that Bill Shankly – what did he ever win in the Premier League?
Liverpool fans had brought a few banners of their own, ranging from the cutting “Once a red, in our hearts, you are dead, lying Judasâ€, the factual “He who betrays will always walk alone. 18 titles and five European Cups, is Chelsea a bigger club?â€, the poetic “Torres, a pawn on our chessboard, but the King remains†and the downright hurtful “Breaking news: Ya paid 50 mil 4 Margi Clarkeâ€.
No wonder Torres couldn’t bring himself to turn his head towards his former adoring faithful as the teams entered the fray.
Carragher would surely have been beating down Dalglish’s door during the week in the hope of returning to the starting line-up yesterday for the first time since suffering a dislocated shoulder at Tottenham Hotspur in November.
And, sure enough, the defender was given the chance to lock swords with Torres, and the defender’s intervention was required on 31 minutes when his sliding challenge blocked a goalbound shot from this former colleague after Drogba had caught Lucas Leiva dawdling on the ball.
The sight of Torres in a blue shirt took some getting used to, as Maxi Rodriguez discovered when his pass in the second minute gave the Spaniard a chance of a shot from 25 yards that was blasted well off target.
But that it took two mistakes from Liverpool to gift Chelsea their best chances said much of how the visitors shackled a front line of Torres and Drogba, with Nicolas Anelka employed in a deeper supporting role.
Having weathered the early storm, Dalglish’s men played their way into the game and should really have been ahead in the 33rd minute.
Johnson fed an overlapping Gerrard down the left flank, and the skipper’s low, inviting cross only required a touch from Rodriguez at the far post. However, with Chelsea goalkeeper Cech out of position and the goal gaping, the Argentine inexplicably sidefooted against the crossbar from three yards.
Chelsea’s frustration was evident towards the end of the half when Cech and centre-back Branislav Ivanovic almost came to blows after both made a hash of dealing with a tame Dirk Kuyt cross.
Kuyt, impressive against Stoke, again put in an almighty shift as the lone striker, and it was his pass that allowed Johnson to shoot narrowly wide shortly after the break.
With Liverpool confidently containing their hosts, Chelsea were restricted to shots from range, although it was worrying both Anelka and Michael Essien were afforded such time and space 25 yards from goal.
But within three minutes of Torres’s departure, Dalglish’s men were ahead, a beneficiary of a further lack of communication between Ivanovic and Cech.
Gerrard, bounding down the right this time, sent in another teasing cross that the Chelsea pair, distracted by Kuyt, failed to clear, allowing the late arriving Meireles the time to hook the ball gleefully into the net.
And it required a solid save from Cech to prevent substitute Fabio Aurelio doubling Liverpool’s advantage nine minutes from time after the Brazilian cut inside on to his lesser-used right foot.
Torres feared he would get nothing from Liverpool. Yesterday, he was proven right.

I am astonished at Ancelotti's naive tactics, throwing Torres straight into a match against his former team-mates alongside Drogba who must consider Torres as a rival. Most managers would aim to ease a new signing into the side gently, starting with them on the bench and possibly bringing them on when they thought the state of the game justified it.
Kenny let Suarez warm the bench for an hour against Stoke and for the whole 90 minutes against Chelsea.
I sometimes wonder who is making the decisions at the Bridge, Ancelotti or Abramovich? ;D

At long last, Mark Saggers (Talksport presenter) is giving us some respect.
He does a morning show with Micky Quinn at the weekends and he's always having a go at our fans and Micky for being delusional.
He went to the game yesterday and he's admitted he was wrong and the "King Kenny Effect" is real and everyone really should watch out for us now.
