Finally ... after more than 25 hours of football ... our favourite Spaniard Fernando Torres has found the net. Twice!
Granted, it was against Leicester City. But the moment that scuffed shot crossed the line with a bit of fortune, one could literally feel the 50 million pound albatross being removed from his neck. And sometime later, when that perfect glancing header of his found the precise angle to beat Kasper Schmeichel, one could be forgiven for allowing one's mind to raise a tiny smidgen of hope ... could this be the return of El Nino?
Only time will tell. We just hope that it's not too long.
Let's hope it doesn't take another couple of painful months, weeks or even days before Nando finds the back of the net again. An old Spanish seafaring saying goes "if you've plundered one city before, you've plundered them all". After the besieging of the City of Leicester, a tougher City of Manchester lies in wait. Fingers crossed Nando will prove his country's old proverb applicable in this day and age.
In other news, Fabio Capello has once more hit back at the FA over the Terry debacle, and his resignation which stemmed from that.
"One is innocent until proven guilty" he was quoted as saying.
Well said, Don Fab. Well said. Now if only he had applied such an attitude in 2010 during the Terry-Bridge-Vanessa Peroncel scandal, and backed his captain in the face of national blame-mongering, then perhaps things would have panned out a little differently for England at South Africa.
