An extract from Fernando Torres’ autobiography
March 11th, 2008 · 19 Comments
The young striker has finally compiled his memoirs
“Flying into Manchester airport for the signing was one of the most exciting days of my career. The limo transferring me took a while longer to reach the ground than I expected but once there I was greeted by a sea of red. The chanting and atmosphere were brilliant and it all passed by in a blur.
Once inside the ground I was greeted by the manager, the first time we had met face to face. He was a lot heavier than I expected but spoke to me in good Spanish which made me feel most welcome. We went straight into a conference room for the official signing.
After I had put pen to paper the manager turned to me and said “Welcome to the biggest club in the World”.
I said thank you and asked “When will I meet Wayne and Cristiano”?
There followed about ten minutes of confusion from which it transpired that there are two clubs in the North West of England known as the “Reds” and my idiot agent had got them mixed up.
However I had signed so had to get on with it. Benitez was known as the “Gaffer”. I asked Stevie G (the only other player at the club who could control the ball) why this was.
He explained that in English “gaffe” is an embarrassing mistake. Apparently even the owners called Rafa “gaffer”.
All I can do now is play really well and hope that Real, Barca or possibly Barnsley come and save me from my nightmare.
Some days after training I drive from Liverpool to Manchester and sit outside Old Trafford and dream of what might have been. I can sit there for hours.
Then Stevie will nudge me and say “Come on Nando, we have to go back”.
We drive silently back to the gaffer.

Freakin' freezing...
Oh January, possibly the coldest month out of the year. Miserable.
The best made jtsmari video has to be the old-school "silent movie"-style, Jamie Redknapp and Frank Lampard video. We poured out more creativity on that one than on the ones that are just set to music.
The wierdest was probably our "Chelsea Boys" video which has thankfully been deleted. Whoa, that one was strange...but it's good to know that while it was up some people actually "favorited" it. There are other weirdlings with a wacked sense of humor out there....*sigh*
The Golddigger vid is still up and running but the comments function has been knocked off. Why? Because people were ready to start wars over that one! Good grief...that vid was FUNNY! If someone doesn't see the humor they can go cry to their mommy...
now for the BIG question of the day: Why are some fan vids so sappy and lacking in musical taste? some have decent pics but listening to the musical selection is a pain and a half.
oh well...I guess that's why there's the "mute" button.
