Tortilla9

Nora's his daughter's name, Olalla his wife, and he's got his son Leo's name tattooed somewhere. Still trailing Meireles in the tattoo dept.

Hell, I'm drinking some of your blue kool-aid. I'm all in, Torres with 6 and an own goal to give the media something to talk about.

I get what you're saying but when Torres delivers a poor cross, I cringe too and he's a CF. Basic crossing seems to be a lost art.

I know Luiz is young but he just played 120 minutes. Don't see AVB rushing him after his exploits yesterday. After all it is a long season.

Think you have a type there.

Sounds very promising and encouraging. Never hurts to have the boss in your corner. Maybe we'll see him more in the PL this season.

He did ok in the summer with Spain in the one game I saw where they went to PKs.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of the comments I'm reading here. Sense there's just a little bit of frustration.

Leave Britney/Torres alone! Don't make me post that video.

How long is extra time?

I read on another forum about Romeu: can't get excited about him, he's not our player. What a dumbass moron. Last I checked he was wearing Chelsea blue and playing pretty decently.

Romeo has played that a few times.

Maybe because he's been playing full 90 minutes and AVB is saving him for Sat.

Someday I'll look at my DISH bill. I know I pay extra for FSC. My luck I probably pay extra for FSC Plus too.

http://www.socceramerica.com/article/43847/soccer-on-tv.html For the US, FSC Plus is showing the damn scousers live (2:40 pm ET) and Chelsea tape delay at 5 pm ET.

And from every account I've read the Stamford Bridge supporters have been very supportive and the traveling fans even more so.

I used to have a Google alert set up that would give me links to all Torres articles. I quickly gave that up because for every even handed article a la Henry Winter there were 20 poison pen articles from the likes of the Lipton, Samuel, etc.

I agree. He briefly talked about it post-match and he wasn't a raving lunatic about it either. Evidentally watching tape he saw some decisions he felt were blatantly wrong and wanted the point out the error of their ways.

FSC says Wed at 2 pm (PT). I have the DVR already scheduled to record it. I'll double check my DISH guide.

I play nothing but sideline watcher. My daughter plays ACM, occasionally forward, occasionally holding CM..

Wonder whose calling him Bambi? Probably Josh. I can see it now. Did seem the inmates were running the asylum before with non-Chelsea types allowed to come and go and a less than punctual atmosphere. I'm sure some aren't happy with the new changes and good for AVB for having control and running it the way he wants too. Ultimately its his neck on the chopping block.

Neil Ashton reveals AVB's secrets. The Daily Fail and Neil so take it for what you think its worth. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2039372/Andre-Villas-Boas-rules-revealed-Secrets-Chelseas-new-boss.html

I reacted more like Fernando tbh. That one hurt a little.

Off the pitch he is notoriously quiet and shy. He'd rather be home with his kids, his wife (childhood sweetheart), his dogs, and playing video games. He's very family oriented and still hangs out with the same group of friends when he was at Atletico. He's not one for the nightlife even before he had kids. He's notorious for not speaking to the English media, especially written. If he does interviews its usually with Spanish media, his intermediaries through Guiilem Ballague, or the occasional 30 second interview after a match. If he were to do an English print media interview we probably wouldn't see another one for 3-4 years. Watching FSC yesterday, the announcer said "I wonder what is going on between the ears of Fernando". I was thinking to myself something along the lines of "STFU!" but that's just me.

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-sport/football/article-23988577-villas-boas-reveals-blueprint-for-success-in-failure-at-old-trafford.do Another decent article without the media hate from others. The picture says a 1000 words but the article is well-balanced.
