Tony's Fiver
1: Bolton wonderers
Gary Megson resting his players in the Uefa Cup — I don’t get it. There is nothing better for keeping players fresh than the confidence of a win. And look what happened: Bolton lost in Lisbon and his first team lost to ten-man Wigan.
2: Sold down the river
Bolton have made big mistakes this season. Selling Nicolas Anelka is probably the biggest. They got £15 million for him, but they’ll lose £30 million if they go down. And how can you hope to stay up if you cannot score?
3: Torres gets top marks
I have not seen a Premier League striker with as many attributes as Fernando Torres. He can do just about anything. Dimitar Berbatov is brilliant, too, but Torres is quicker and hungrier.
4: Value added attacks
I was sceptical at the big fees Liverpool spent on Torres and Javier Mascherano, but they look great value. After all, Andriy Shevchenko cost Chelsea £30 million.
5: Lawnmower men
It is the latest fad — players baring their torsos. They will be showing off tattoos on shaved chests next with celebrations where they mime cutting their chest hair with lawnmowers.
