If I was ever going to become a blogger, what would the main topic of my cyberspeech be? Easy, the one topic of conversation you can never run out of, football.

When news broke that Liverpool had bought Fernando Torres, the Atletico Madrid prodigy for 26+ million pounds, my immediate reaction was to think - Hang on a minute! They must be kidding! That’s a lot of money to be splashing out on a striker from La Liga’s seventh-ranked team (that’s Bolton in the Premier league). continue reading
