Torres doesn't get involved in the build up play.. He's isolating himself, quite annoying to watch to be honest.

Almost, Torres!

Ramires got sent off today?

He's on the bench Carzola & Negredo scored.

Chris Hughton: I'm available http://www.espn.co.u...tml?CMP=OTC-RSS

Any sufferers here? Got it bad in the last 2 days. Eyes and all! If anyone's got any recommended medication and stuff, feel free to post - Using Claritin atm.

Torres on the bench right now for USA vs Spain http://www.streamhub.tv/ch/V4.php

Oh! Haha, okay that's fine then

Manchester City had a great youth program, even before the Saudi take over. Shawn Wright-Phillips, Nedum Onouha, Micah Richards, Michael Johnson, Joey Barton, Dickson/Kelvin Etuhu ect.

Heard De Bruyne is a right winger, not sure if that's true though?

Okay this is a bit sh*t in all honesty. Feel free to edit

Nice. I guess it make sense why Tore would want to leave now. Hope Lalkovic isn't put off.

I don't see why we're slating Arnesen, he's well within his right, since he's realised the potential of these players. We should be firing our criticisms at whoever accepting these bids and letting these players go. The sale of Gokhan will be as bad as the sale of Stoch imo.

According to..?

Feel sorry for Turkish fans atm

A product of the famous West Ham youth academy, Joe Cole joined Chelsea in the summer of 2003 after he had won the "Hammer of the Year" award at West Ham. In the 2003-04 season, Cole made 50 appearances for the club emerging as a key player as Chelsea finished 2nd in the league and reached the semifinals of the Champions League. He scored 2 goals in the Carling Cup but did not score in the league until April in a game vs Newcastle at St James Park. He made 7 assists to add to his 3 goals. In the 2004-05 season, after Jose Mourinho publicly criticised Cole's defensive irresponsibility, his form improved as he scored 9 goals, including a deft flick in a league game vs Liverpool, and made 6 assists as Chelsea romped to their first league title in 50 years. He scored in a come-from-behind win over Manchester United at Old Trafford as he converted a Frank Lampard cross. Cole continued in the same vein in the 2005-06 season where he scored a wonderful title-sealing goal vs Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. With 4 United defenders surrounding him, Cole wriggled himself free and blasted an unstoppable shot past the keeper to ring in the title celebrations. He was named in the PFA Team of the Season. After participating in the 2006 World Cup (where he scored a wonder volley vs Sweden), Cole was laid low by injuries and returned only in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals vs Valencia. He scored the only goal in Chelsea's UCL semi-final first leg win over Liverpool but did not make the final after losing out on penalties. He ended the season on a high as he started the 2007 FA Cup final win over Manchester United. He then enjoyed his best season in a Chelsea shirt as he made 54 appearances in the 2007-08 season, easily Chelsea's best player that season. He scored the winners against West Ham, Blackburn and Everton and also scored a brace in the 4-4 draw against Spurs at White Hart Lane. Then manager Avram Grant was criticised for removing Joe Cole when the score was 3-1 in favour of Chelsea. None the less, he helped Chelsea reach the Champions League final where he started before being replaced by Nicolas Anelka in extra-time as Chelsea lost agonisingly on penalties yet again. He was deservedly named Chelsea's player of the year. He started the 2008-09 season brightly, scoring the first goal of the Scolari era after running on to a through ball by Michael Ballack. He made 20 appearances and scored thrice before getting injured in a FA Cup game vs Southend which ruled him out for the rest of the season as Chelsea won the FA Cup under Hiddink. The 2009-10 season was a strange one for Cole. He was increasingly dropped in favour of Florent Malouda and scored only 2 goals in 39 appearances. But his cheeky back-heeled finished against Manchester United was a vital goal for Chelsea as that win gave Chelsea the initiative in the title race. On the final day of the season, Joe Cole came on as a substitute and bagged 2 assists. He won the ball in the area and sent over a cross for Ashley Cole to volley home the final goal in an 8-0 win over Wigan that confirmed that Chelsea were Premier League champions again. He made his last appearance for the club when he came on as a substitute in the FA Cup final win over Portsmouth. After Chelsea After 7 years at Chelsea, Cole finally left the Blues to join Liverpool in 2010 as Roy Hodgson's first signing for the club. He wore the no.10 jersey there as well. He was sent off on his league debut for a wild challenge on Laurent Koscielny of Arsenal and that was the tone of a mediocre season for Cole at Liverpool. After scoring just 3 goals in 32 appearances through out the season, Liverpool loaned him out to French champions Lille in the summer of 2011. On his Lille debut, Cole went on a solo run getting past 4 Saint Ettiene defenders before setting up the 3rd goal in a 3-1 win. After that impressive start, he would go on to have a good season for Lille scoring 8 goals and assisting 5 times in 35 appearances including a hat-trick in the Coupe de France. He has expressed a desire to continue at Lille next season although the French club have expressed fears over his wage demands. Click here to view the record

Hiddink's going on holiday :champions:

Going to Wembley for the England game today. I might do an article on that..

Nice idea, but these boycotts never work. Too many people are brand-loyal

And of course, the main ingredient..

More to your liking Mr Zolayes? :eyebrows: Open return, of course.. Whenever you wish to leave

My granny makes Kalou look like a granny
