Yes, anything is an improvement over Lalas. Hard to believe we have no other options available in the US.

"@jamiereidUEFA twitter post: On way back from #CFC. Didn't get to speak to a very grumpy MoM Torres. A sharp "no" to us, Sky and ITV. Thought he'd be happy tonight!" Think there are certain media folks, ie most English media, he doesn't trust and doesn't speak to. And after the last 8-9 months can't really blame him.

Torres so far this season: 9 games played, 4 goals, 2 assists. Looking forward to him going up against Arsenal's defense after his ban is over.

The new boots, the longer/lighter hair, the pre-match blessing from Luiz - all is good.

I had my very own Kalouda moment for 91 minutes. Had a great stream but there was a pop-up window right in the middle of the screen leaving a small edge available to watch. I couldn't close the pop-up so I just listened to Ray and whoever he was announcing with. In the 91st minute I finally figured out how to close the pop-up window. What a dumbass. Minus my own clueless moment, great first half for everybody, good overall game, nice to see #9 score a brace in the first half. Good to see Romeu have a solid game too. Some might discount the opponent but you can only play whose in front of you. Good job boys.

Cech

Scousers must be loving this. hahahaha

Torres doesn't need Mata, he has Meireles. lol Torres!!

Love Luiz but sometimes he does things that make you shake your head. Is he trying to get a red card tonight?

Rounding up.

Torres 3 goals in 3 games.

Following different forums, twitter, the most noise seems to be no Josh. Hardly a mention of no Drogba.

@jamiereidUEFA UEFA graphic has Chelsea lining up in a 4-2-1-3 formation. With Lampard playing a slightly advanced mid role, in front of Romeu & Meireles.

AVB out. AVB and Josh may need to have a talk about the young man going out on loan. Hopefully we'll see Josh mid-week against Everton.

No Josh (not surprised after playing a full reserve game), no Drogba on the bench. Looking forward to seeing how Oriol does.

Could be worse - could be Malouda and Kalou with him.

@jamiereidUEFA on twitter: Starting xi: Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Romeu, Lampard ©, Torres, Malouda, Meireles, Bosingwa, Anelka subs: Turnbull, Mata, Mikel, Ferreira, Kalou, Sturridge, Alex Also confirmed by Henry Winter of the Telegraph

When/if you get one, let me know what you think.

I'm old school and have a blackberry with a roller ball that occasionally gets stuck. My daughter had the iphone 3 (or whatever version it was). Dropped it a few times and broke something inside. Of course after the warranty expired but in the middle of the cell phone contract. Damn AT&T. Before she broke it though she loved the phone. I just couldn't get the hang of touch texting. Long story and switched to Verizon and got the Samsung Fascinate. Daughter who has the phone glued to her hand (texting, facebook, etc) absolutely hates the Samsung Fascinate. Freezes constantly, sends texts to random people, doesn't receive texts. Crap phone. For Xmas I'm getting her the new iphone and be done with the Fascinate. The spouse is going with the iphone 4 and the daughter is getting the iphone 4s.

Drogba looked like the guy who went out the night before, had a good time, woke up the next day with a hangover, remembered he had somewhere to be, and then just went through the motions. Not one of his better games.

The FSC announcer is definitely not a Chelsea fan. Some of his beauts: Not yet convinced Chelsea will win the title. Torres must be happy Drogba isn't playing well today.

Good lord. What the hell was that all across the board?!

Crossing = lost art

Maybe everybody's reading their CPO pamphtlet (sp?).

Not the sharpest, easiest on the eye performance but 2-0 against Everton isn't bad. Is Drogba not getting any service or is he just not involved? I haven't seen him much or heard his name either.
