Used to, it was definitely static today. Edit: Think it moves a few times before turning static.

Ramires stole Mikel's awareness. His on-the-ball game was terrible and this wasn't fitness related.

Word. I almost pissed myself when it took him >60 seconds just to reach the middle of the field.

Anelka was nothing short of phenomenal. Probably his best performance in a Chelsea shirt. Can't remember the last time a Chelsea player was so much better than everyone else on the field.

Huge midfielder (1.94) with great technique and a classy first touch. Quite strong and can pick out a pass, a bit slow on the ball and with decision making. All in all he is classy but slow. Being described as the next Ballack probably had something to do with both

Just noticed this. While normally I'd be quick to laugh this off as Metro are not reliable but I've heard of this possibility way before that article. Not saying I want this to happen but it certainly makes sense.

Have I mentioned I LOVE the new favicon? Looks great on every single one of my browsers.

Back to real football. 3 points are vital and I'd take a win by a 90min own goal. Still have to underline the importance of not losing as may become England's laughing stock.

Less talk more PL starts please

Reds of all kinds hoping for a miracle. Bitter English fans. Disappointed transfer muppets. The signs were there. He didn't recently find his wallet because he actually never lost it. The fact that we lost one primary target after another was down to our board's inability.

Hope I'll get my search back ASAP. Thanks for dealing with all the traffic.

Cosign

Ain't his shirt number TBC?

Never got a proper chance. I reckon Benfica will be a good step for his career. Best of luck.

Indeed.While, by the looks of it, Roman's purse and Torres himself made his deal possible signing David Luiz is what I'd consider a success for our board and our negotiators. He's a signing for the future.

He ain't getting his debut tomorrow. He hasn't even trained with the team yet. Expect him to come off the bench against the scum.

@Manuf Don't spoil this topic or your night with them bitters.

They can't be, both are not at the club Think it's already on Chelsea's official youtube channel.

5 and a half year deal http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg617/scaled.php?tn=0&server=617&filename=pmlzm.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640

Chelsea's official twitter confirmed it. @chelseafc Fernando Torres is now officially a Chelsea player! #CFC

Torres is not cup-tied for the Champions League. Let's get this out of the way before this thread gets repetitive.

€20/£17m now. €5/£4.2m more by 2015. One Lisbon friendly. Matic moves there next season. Only his wages and his shirt number remain a question.

Confirmation from Benfica
