During his three-and-a-half-year spell, Torres established himself as one of the best No.9’s the club had ever seen. Much like Bonny and Clyde, Batman […]
It’s an interesting question and one which, more than anything else, I’d just like to discuss with you readers.

Wenger’s Invincibles had Lehmann, Campbell, Viera and Henry and Chelsea’s successes during the last 12 […]
