Time for Randy's Run-on Recap...

No player in the world will have a better three games than Hazard to start the season, Mata still missing a little something, great play in the first half, still missing killer instinct in the second, Torres was fouled but haters gonna hate, second goal was wonderful all around, wish we didn't have three weeks off from EPL action to interrupt our hot start, 9 from 9 looking mighty fine.

We have more hardware to win next week. How many trophies do we have to win for us to have history?

Doesn't matter. Any trophy won is luck, we will never have history, and we are all bandwagon trolls.

Torres' form is what I'm most excited about. He was definitely a question mark entering the season with him becoming the number guy and he's proved his worth thus far. His goal today was vintage Torres, made a good pass to Hazard to get it started then made a smart run into the space right next to him and a clinical finish of course.

5 European Cups and 18 Leagues... That's what we call history...

Torres is oozing with confidence. I love it.

That definitely is history that few on the planet can compete with.

We are creating history right now and I hope this continues for decades to come just like Liverpool. They are the model which every team tries to replicate.

Arsenal are still trying to get our first UCL trophy. We are all trying to make history no matter how much our clubs have already accomplished.

If I win Miss America, I wish all trolling on the soccer board come to a screaching halt and soccer board peace be re-established.

Completely gay Stu Holden pic to solidify my wish:

I don't know about you boys but the first week went about as well as we could hope for. Hazard has taken no time to adapt, Torres looks on form, and the defense looks solid. Also, all our major rivals have already dropped points in one less game. I would like to see Mata get back to his early season form from last year and a little more killer instinct in the 2nd half to be able to completely kill off games like Wigan and Newcastle and get guys like Sturridge and Oscar more of a run. Hopefully this three week PL layoff won't slow down our early momentum.

Meh, this week's match against AM will keep them focused. Plus, guys like Mata could really use the week after, off. 9 pts through 3 matches is a dream start. This team is already playing better than last year's team. I'd still like to see us move Malouda, Meireles, and Benayoun and take some money and get one more big signing. Do that and a Sturridge move wouldn't bother me either.

You mean like Andrei Arshavin? He is Russian just like Roman. A match made in heaven.

Looks like we got Jimmy Sextoned by Cavani as he signs a new contract with a 55m buyout clause. I'm sure there was some interest but doubtful there was ever an offer and now there won't be one. Guess Hulk would be our only last second sign not that that's even necessary anymore.

You never know with Roman. Seems as we always get something out of nowhere right at the end. We shall see.

Whats the issue with Raul? He was always a tidy player for us... definitely no world beater, but was a good B2B MF'er
