Fernando Torres sends message of support to Liverpool as the Reds bid for Premier League and Champions League glory
Fernando Torres has thrown his weight behind Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League bids – predicting ‘big times ahead’ at Anfield.The Atletico Madrid striker and Kop icon sent a special message of support to his former club on Twitter when they wished him a happy birthday.In response to birthday wishes from Liverpool’s official Twitter account, the Spaniard revealed he will be a Reds fan for the rest of the season as the club bid to end 29 years without top-flight glory.He tweeted: “Thank you Reds!!! All the best for the rest of the season I’ll be cheering for you!!! Big times ahead!!!”Torres, who turned 35, never won the Premier League with Liverpool but came agonisingly close in 2009. With a star-studded line-up featuring the likes of Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano, the Reds finished runners-up to Manchester United by four points.The striker netted 65 Premier League goals for Liverpool – 81 in total – during a three-and-a-half-year spell at the club before leaving to join bitter rivals Chelsea, where he was still unable to taste top-flight success.Nonetheless, he is still highly regarded on Merseyside, and Torres looks back on his time at the club with fondness.

Dele Alli is one of the best wind-up merchants playing at the moment and this was in full flow during Tottenham’s Carabao Cup victory over north London neighbours Arsenal in December. Spurs were 2-0 up and cruising at the Emirates Stadium when an Arsenal fan threw a plastic bottle at Alli’s head. The England international turned round and reminded the home fans of the scoreline with his fingers and given Spurs went on to win the game, Alli had the last laugh.
