MY BOY BENAYOUN

Oh dat Torres skillz 2 pay da billz

This is not going in.

This is going in.

Mmm dat Mata vision

SUPER RAFA! WE WANT YOU TO STAY!!!

GOAT

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again making no fucking subs while the opposition do. it sickens me.

Mata is slowly but surely turning into what 'Chelsea' was and should be - which is finding a way to win and never giving up, regardless of form. We need our other players to follow suit and quickly.

I don't see why Torres can't do an Anelka and play out wide. It's not just an excuse to make up for his shit finishing, but his passing can be underrated at times and he'd be much better in a role where he's not constantly playing with his back to goal.

Apparently over in Spain Real Madrid's Varane is putting on the performance of a life-time. Good to hear. I really like the guy.

Put Torres into a Rooney-role. Assisting the strikers, not being the focal point of the team. It suits him more.

Just another reason why I'm so sure the guy in my picture and sig will be in our top 10 players of all time once he retires. Always pulling us out of shit. Love him. So much.

There should be a horror movie made which is just a compilation of all Torres's failed shots and runs.

TORRES WHY CAN YOU NOT JUST BE A COMEDIAN INSTEAD

Starting to believe, unfortunately as I've always loved Bertrand (at lower levels), that Van Aanholt has a much bigger chance at making it here now. Or, he would anyway if Bertrand didn't fill up a HG spot (I think).

I swear to god we will win if Benayoun comes on and plays through the middle with Mata out left and Oscar on the right. Absolutely swear.

So stupid to start Bertrand. Who will we bring on for Ashley Cole when we're losing in the 88th minute now!?!?

Fully-fit (surely by now?) captain on the bench. Best striker on the bench. 2 ATTACKERS (both Benayoun and Marin) on the bench with a left-back playing as a winger instead of one of them. Just... what.

I said to myself earlier that if Bertrand was to start AGAINST FUCKING READING that I'd watch Real Madrid - Barcelona instead. With Torres in the line-up too WITH OUR BEST STRIKER NOT PLAYING YET AGAIN, this is a nobrainer. Sorry guys. Sometimes watching decent football is better than watching the team you love being set up like they're playing against a Madrid - Barca hybrid against a team which just got motherfucking promoted.

Manchester City want AC Milan to increase their Balotelli bid by around £1.5m apparently. Milan fans really want him (it seems) while Juventus despise the idea of signing him.

Anton Ferdinand has been loaned to Bursapor hahahaha. Glad he's not in the league now.

He is going to be a fan favourite right away. I'm sure of it. It'll only take a season or 2 (Kind of like at Marseille) to cement his legacy there as well as here. Here's hoping Gala get Manchester United down the line in the UCL and he gets a hat-trick

Imagine where we'd be in the league if we'd stuck with the 3 maestros but with Ba up front instead of Torres. I'm positive that while we'd leak goals, we'd outscore almost any team. Kinda like what Zemen has tried (and not really pulled off to great affect) at Roma. The team with most goals wins the game - not the least goals conceded. I want teams to fear us and be like "Oh shit, they will score against us." Not be all "Oh, let's see how to approach this game. They've got the usual balance etc...oh, there's a weakness."
