Yes, as many of you are wondering, it does seem that Fernando Torres would be back. It was a little sneaky, almost catching everyone, (and probaly himself), by surprise. But as soon as Anelka played that ball in to Torres and "El Nino" finished the only goal Chelsea could muster at Old Trafford, I knew that either it was a lucky play, or the Torres of old was back. The way he reaffrimed is goal-scoring ability was somewhat cheeky, like Napoleon coming back to rule France, and wage war with Britain and Holland in the "100 days war". (Hopefully, for Chelsea at least, Torres' return won't be that short.) Although he is far from paying back the $50 million that Chelsea payed for him, he has brought some compensation. Yes, he did get red carded for a wild challenge, and yes his hair STILL looks like roadkill. But, who's looking?
On another hand, the Manchester clubs can seem to grasp that DRAWS in the UCL don't win you Europa Trophies. Yesterday, Man U drew 2-2 with FC Basel, while today, Man City LOST (they had it coming) to Bayern 2-0. Bayern is another topic I would like to talk about. They seem to have found their way again, despite having won no silverware last year, which is quite shocking when you think about how they have most of the German national team AND Arjen Robben. Another powerhouse, Inter Milan, who knocked them out of the UCL last year, (granted they then lost to Schalke, who they also lost to in the German cup), have not recovered, losing to newly promoted Novara, and have sacked their manager. Hopefully, a win this past weekend with put them back on track.
Well, that's all for today, and thanks to the 3 of you who read consitently.
