Here's the video, Pique is a known joker though, so he could just be taking the piss:

So Torres has outlasted Mata and Luiz at Chelsea ....

They're talking about it on SSN (Sky-sports news), I'm watching it now. PSG are willing to send their medics to Brazil apparently, they want it done before the WC.

Are Adidas serious?! Hopefully they predominantly use the training kits/coats with the black base and light blue strips as opposed to the light blue base a black strips. The black based training kits look like this for those who haven't seen them (Sorry for the low quality pics and 'tilt'):

Manchester City: Yaya Toure 'angered by birthday efforts' Yaya Toure's agent has criticised Manchester City's attempts to mark the midfielder's birthday with a tweet, describing their efforts as "a joke". City gave Toure a birthday cake as they flew to Abu Dhabi and tweeted their congratulations after he turned 31. But Dimitri Seluk (Yaya's agent) says Toure is "very upset" the club's owners failed to acknowledge him personally and says he may leave over their lack of respect. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27484318

Leave it guys, 'thekid9' has the same no.9 tattoo as Torres has, but on his leg, there's no way you'll get to him.

I don't disagree about Ramires & Ivanovic being technically poor. What I do disagree with though is the idea that Mourinho's favorite players are those that are technically inept but hard working.

It was always 3: United fans making things up

Romelu Lukaku offered to Atletico Madrid as part of exchange deal to bring Diego Costa to Chelsea this summer http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2626946/Romelu-Lukaku-offered-Atletico-Madrid-exchange-deal-bring-Diego-Costa-Chelsea.html Dailyfail so I doubt it (even more so that he has that 32mill buyout clause), and especially seeing as SSN haven't mentioned it.

Congrats guys, both will make great mods Though I still take the most security knowing that somewhere in these forums Spike Spiegel is keeping us safe.

So the season is now officially over and I’m interested to 'hear' some fellow Chelsea fans thoughts on this most enigmatic of seasons (Not just whether it was a failure or success ). Overview: It’s been a long season, and one that’s ended trophy less. For a club like Chelsea it’s not one to be celebrated but on the balance of things, I’d still say it's been a decent one. Top 3 without a proper striker, reaching the semi-finals of the UCL after being embarrassingly knocked out in the group stages last year. And perhaps with a bit more luck we’d even of had some silverware (Supercup). I think it’s fair to say that the performances on the pitch have been lacklustre overall, there are times when we’ve struggled to even string together more than a few passes. But that’s not to say there haven’t been any great performances, i.e like against Citeh at the Etihad and Liverpool at the bridge. Once we actually have a proper striker and a better partner for Matic (hopefully) this will obviously improve. For next season it’s hard to predict what will happen until the transfer window is closed (please start by getting rid of that spanaird up front ).But I trust that Mou’ will improve things, he’s already talked about how his report is ready which is great to hear. He’s also said throughout the season how we will be proper contenders for the title next season. So, although premature, I really expect next season to be a success. Most Memorable Moment: Can’t decide between Ba’s winner against PSG, the 6-0 thrashing of Arsenal and the Gerrard slip (also props to Eto'o for his hat-trick against United) (I’m also not including the youth cup victory as I’m focusing more on the first team) Worst Moment: Probably the Sunderland game, really was an awful moment, at least the ex-Liverpool player linesman can tell his mates he did all he could to bring the title to Anfield . The second leg against Atletico was also a bad moment, but we definitely deserved to lose, making it a lot easier to digest than some of our previous UCL exits in that sense. Best player: Eden Hazard (just ahead of Azpi). It’s the easy option but he was overall superb. Best goal: Been a long season but off the top of my head I’d say it’s between Torres vs Bayern, Eto’o vs Arsenal or Hazard vs Sunderland. Season in a word: Transition

In regards to Mou's comment, I'm not sure why people are getting so concerned. He's hardly going to come out and say that he has no future here, all that would do is decrease his value. Inter's director confirmed their interest in Torres, now we just sit back and hope Inter actually push to take this parasite off our hands (be it a loan or a transfer or whatever).

Mourinho on the future of Fernando Torres: ...

C'mon man, he's admittedly had an awful game so far but far fetched to say it's the worst in a long time, Torres has definitely had worse. He's young (very young) and eager to impress, at least he actually looks committed out there, unlike most of our players atm.

Gosh did I really just read some of the things I thought I read about Zidane. He had no vision? He had no special instincts for goal scoring situations? He also somehow had natural elegance but yet his attempts to beat opponents looked clumsy and arduous… And Youtube made him seem great? Guess that’s why there’s 0 football fans or football players prior to the Youtube generation who consider him the best they’ve seen… Really not sure what to say in regards to prime dinho’ being a level above him. Out of interest @TheWiz, who are these 5 football geniuses you speak of?
