big vote of confidence for Torres there.

Jose is such a tart. David Luiz is fantastic.

Torres

[john316]

Torres close to being out the squad me thinks. Mourinho a total drama queen though in that interview as usual.

[Leyton388]

****ing **** shouldn't have loaned out his best striker.

Did glen Hoddles just call someone spasmonic ....what the **** is that ?

[Leyton388]

Hoddle's such a bellend.

[Vermilion]

Aye, Maureen laying it on thick regarding Torres, giving it..

"i thought..i really thought Fernando could give us something, you know...something...something more! but alas no, he couldn't, he couldn't manage to do what i hoped, he's washed up, finished, but i tried, i really really tried".

Chelsea fans go on rampage in Paris before Champions League tie
• Dozens of fans involved before game with Paris Saint-Germain
• Reports of Nazi salutes and racist abuse in Saint-Denis area

Chelsea fans went on the rampage in a tourist area of central Paris on Wednesday night, making Nazi salutes and smashing up cafes and shops.

Dozens of fans, many of whom had been drinking in the Frog and Rosbif pub on Rue Saint-Denis, were pictured stampeding down a pedestrian street near the celebrated Pompidou Centre and Les Halles shopping centre. Witnesses said several made Nazi salutes and shouted English Defence League chants and racist abuse before attacking Paris Saint-Germain fans. Bottles were thrown at drinkers who were enjoying a mild evening on the terraces of nearby cafes and were forced to flee as the violence spread. Riot police quickly arrived but a large group of fans ran off towards the river Seine.

BFMTV reported that the English hooligans were involved in battles with former PSG ultras in the central Châtelet area, a major underground and district train junction. Two fans were reportedly hurt. Police said the two groups had been "looking for each other" with a view to causing trouble since Tuesday evening but had been kept apart by the authorities.

The match was attended by the new French sports minister, Najat Vallaud‑Belkacem, who was appointed earlier in the day.

Concerns about possible violence had been raised in the French media earlier this week. The website Spacefoot.com said about 2,200 Chelsea fans were expected, of whom about 300 had been flagged up to police as "potentially dangerous". Scores of known hooligans had been reportedly banned from leaving Britain but several had taken the train from Belgium to avoid Eurostar's security measures.

It's quite shocking just how much a different player Torres was with us to this shadow of a player today. Thanks for the £50m Roman.

Chav fans are scum.

Has there ever been a more high profile purchase that flopped so badly, and not due to long term injury ?

Kaka maybe ? Or was he effected by injury for a long spell at Madrid ?

[john316]

Kaka is still top for me. He was so terrible for Madrid and they ditched him on a free despite the £56m fee

Best transfer ever.......for the selling side anyway

[Gibbo]

Newcastle might challenge you on that one Casemore.

[RichC]

Close but I think it shades it especially as we shifted him on for £20 odd million

[Leyton388]

Jose saying he's going to play schwarzer up front to send a message to the board. Yes please Jose. Wont be long before he's sacked IMO as he's bashing all the players and that will only end one way.
