Liverpool’s Painting It Red

Last Sunday’s BPL match between Man City and Liverpool was a real cracker. 2 – 0 down on halftime, Liverpool scored thrice in the second half to triumph like the true winners that they are.


I previous wrote about Lee Chong Wei’s lost to Lin Dan in the Beijing Olympics final; arguing that he may not be a true champion after all. Along those lines, here’s a person who is a real proven champion.




Fernando Torres.


Equalized against Chelsea in last season’s Champion’s League semifinal.

Scored against Sunderland in the last minute in the opening match of the season.

Scored the winner for Spain against Germany in the 2008 European Championships.

Scored twice in the Merseyside derby against Everton.

Scored twice again on Sunday against Man City.


Those, are the clear hallmarks of a true champion. They deliver when it matters most.


On another note, it was not Torres alone who brought the victory, but the team as a whole. Finally la, Liverpool showing the consistency that is needed.


Yea yea you Arsenal and Chelsea fans (yes I’m left MU out on purpose) can continue arguing that we’re lucky but fact of the matter is this – one time is luck, two times is still luck, three times definitely ain’t luck.


Watch your back, Liverpool’s painting the league red.
