I don't think either Torres or Luiz should be starting on Sunday. Let them come off the bench in the 2nd half when Drogs and Anelka have put us up 2-0.

I would do whatever it took to be there. Not even be in the stadium (because that would probably be impossible). Just to be in some west London pub watching and celebrating with the Chelsea faithful.

I hope he runs over to the scouses and kisses the lion. I would die laughing.

I completely agree. Torres gave Liverpool 3 and a half years of his prime football playing days. And despite his 65 goals, all he got in return was one CL appearance and no trophies. I realize that fans always want their stars to be eternally loyal to the club, but let's get real, the guy is a competitor who wants to play (and win!) at the highest level.

I feel like Roman is desperate to win a Champions League trophy and sees our established stars getting older as every day passes. Hence the huge transfer for Torres. Luiz was just a tremendous investment in the future of our defense. Drogba, Lampard and Terry deserve to raise the European Cup as members of Chelsea FC. I hope it's this year.

Ordered my #9 Torres home blue tonight. Can't wait to get it!

Welcome to TC fellow yank!

Can't wait for this game. I ordered my home blue #9 jersey tonight. Too bad I won't have it for Sunday. 2 Chelsea - Liverpool 0

Cheers mates! I think we officially have a bone fide winning streak! In the Premier League at least.

The unspeakable expectations now return to Stamford Bridge. Welcome back!

what an embarrassment of riches.

The one signing I really wanted us to make. Bem-vindo Davi!

So, when you suppose we'll be able to buy a blue Torres jersey?

Is it true? Are we really going to get Torres?!? Do the latest rumors have us giving anyone up?

What a fucking brilliant performance. On this night, I completely ignore the negatives, because it felt so good to watch us clobber a team. Hasn't happened in the Premier league since September. Maybe...just maybe...we have turned this ship around. I still want to see this kind of performance against a big club, but I like what I've seen in the last couple weeks. Just in time for the CL.

Didn't Lampard miss his last PK attempt? Point being, I'm fine with either Drogs or Lampard taking that.

I feel like crying.

Yikes. The poor play continues. I guess I should feel lucky that this game is being shown on tape-delay this evening. I'll make other plans.

Partizan levels with Arsenal

Home from work, sick. But not sick enough to be on the laptop

I don't necessarily agree with this approach. You can't get out of a slump by playing reserves on the road and losing yet another game. Put a good line-up out there (debatable, I know), and get 3 points. Take that confidence and positive feeling to White Hart Lane.

Interesting line up today, lads. I can't see how Drogba doesn't find the net in his return. Marseille 1 - 2 Chelsea

So...scoring goals is the only way to judge talent? I knew I was missing something with my American upbringing.

I tend to agree that I care little about this loss. The Carling Cup only matters to the team that wins the trophy. We have bigger fish to fry and this will let us rest our stars throughout the fall and focus our mid-week attention on CL games.

Malouda!!!!!!!!!!!! with a brace!
