I accept Torres has been an accomplished striker, but I have never seen him meet the Liverpool ethos, and it's always as if he's been kind of an outsider, doing guest appearances for the club.
Although Michael Owen is now vilified here, when he was at Anfield he embraced the essence of the club and was honoured to pull on that jersey, the last striker we have had that has impressed me with loyalty and commitment.
Sure, Owen has moved on now, but so has any sense of honour and mutual respect that existed in the triangle of player, fan and club.
Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, Barnes, Aldridge, Fowler: These are the strikers I was weaned on, and they are part of what made me proud of a football team 20 000 bloody miles away!
I have STOOD in the Kop and know what it's like to be part of the finest tradition in British football, and sadly that's getting p*ssed away by this new wave of prissy little gits.
Now it's all about money, snoods and hair gel...WTF?!
Man up, you sissies! You marry a woman because you love her and wish to spend your life with her. Just because some bint has bigger t*ts, you don't chuck everything in and chase after her!
It's called commitment......
...and it's dead.
