I'll just be honest - I'd rather sell him to Madrid/Barcelona for anything above £15mill and then buy Jack Butland from Birmingham City. I can't put my finger on 'why', but I've just always wanted us to have an English 'keeper in the Abramovich era. Also, once Terry, Lamps, Cole etc. are gone, we need good English talent in our team. Sturridge is sure to be gone too, and Cahill isn't good enough to be a starter for us, is he? So why not invest in the greatest young English talent around and just let Courtois go for a big fee? I can't remember the last time I saw an English talent as good as Butland. If I was to rack my brain, I'd probably have to say Ashley Cole...maybe. Butland is going to be absolutely incredible in his prime.

When done correctly, 4-3-2-1 is probably my favourite formation. Although ours would be different, A.C. Milan's Christmas tree version when Kaka was in his prime was absolutely lethal. This is THE formation for us if we want to retain possession more. However, with that said - I'm always scared about using narrower tactics. I guess a plus about this formation though is that when the opposition has a great, direct winger, you can easily switch into a 4-3-3! I'd love for us to give this formation a go. It would utilize our squad properly and bring a bit more balance to the starting XI.

I'd cry if we got Gomis - and not tears of joy.

Well that didn't last long

I honestly, really don't think he's the BEST option for us (Cavani..*cough*), BUT I do really want him here as he's the only big name striker we have a proper link with it seems (unless you count Higuain). Ughhhh I could wank over so many of his goals!!!

Fuck me

AT LEAST WE'RE NOT LOSERPOOL! ....yet.

I love you for everything, 'Skipper

I guess I'm extra pissed off due to the money I bet on us winning. No matter though! I've got a good chunk of cash on Real Madrid (vs. Espanyol), Barcelona (vs. Atletico Madrid) and Borussia Dortmund (vs. Hoffenheim) winning which should win me my money back. I'm starting to worry though that the Barcelona game could end up as a draw.

Ah. Do you think Torres is a good player?

The reason why other clubs can play shit and win is because they have clinical strikers. They can have 5% pass accuracy, defend for their lives, then just boot a ball up and over the opposition defence, and their striker will put the ball away in the 90th minute and win the game. There's more problems than just our striker; but our striker problem needs to be sorted first. I say we buy Heskey or at least look at that option. He's quite clinical so far this season. We could also bring in Beckham and give him a deep-lying playmaker role.

From now on, we must all refer to Torres as a "she", ok? Good. She honestly played like the biggest pussy I've ever seen today, and that shot she missed right infront of the goal... worse than the Manchester United miss by far in my opinion. Her lack of movement totally pissed me off today as well. However, with that said - I can only put 95% of the blame on Torres. I have to unfortunately put 5% of the blame on Hazard. His butt cheeks were probably mesmerizing Fernando and made Mrs. Torres hot, horny and wet, thus creating concentration lapses in the mind of our blonde whore. The drippings from her vagina is also the reason why she slips so much I assume. With that wetness at her feet, it must be hard running on an already partially slippery surface, dampened by the tears which fall from her eyes every time someone touches her, forcing that ever-present tampon slightly further up her vagina.

Our fans are going to be so quiet in the PL now. Nothing to chant. The "Champions Of Europe" chant fit well in our stadium, but now it'll sound idiotic.

Any striker. I want any striker. Just not Torres. Please. Also, for anyone who hasn't realised - It's looking incredibly likely that Sturridge is completely healthy and this 'injury' fixed itself up ages ago. The club simply don't want us going crazy at the fact Torres is getting picked regardless. This isn't some elaborate conspiracy. It's just common sense, especially when you look at the injury he had. It's looking like Sturridge will leave in January and we'll be stuck with Torres for yet another season. Fun lol. I also don't care what does or doesn't 'make sense'. Rafa is Liverpool through and through. I want him out. Now. I don't care who takes over. Marko Marin could be player-manager and start as our striker and we could bring Makelele out of the management scheme and back as a player and play him in the double pivot. I honestly think it would be an improvement. Also, like I've said - Our attacking midfielders aren't enough. We need another top class talent like Isco, Willian, whoever - so if Mata plays bad, we have a genuine alternative. It should also hopefully be clear as day now that our options at the back aren't enough. Infact, you know what? Our options all over the team aren't enough. We're nowhere near ready for a title challenge IMO. Sadly, we're at around Tottenham's level. The only difference being they play better football and aren't as reliant on one player.

I want every Fernando Torres thread and picture removed from this site. I want every person with Fernando Torres in their picture or signature to be banned until he leaves this club.

Never betting on a Chelsea game again lol

HELL YEAH! LETS BRING ON A DEFENDER TO DEFEND THIS LEAD! wait what

The ref gives zero fouls when it's 0-0 and we have a chance of winning. Once they take the lead however, absolutely everything is given against us.

"It'll matter to these players and Rafa Benitez" - Commentator. No. No it won't. Nothing seems to matter to our players. Aside from a few CL games last season, I can't remember the last time it looked like our players actually gave 100%.

Any chance of Rafa getting sacked after this game? What do we think? Does Abramovich care for this trophy at all?

I want to punch the shit out of Rafa. STILL only one sub has been made. Yet there's only 10 minutes left. Fucking do something you fucking cunt.

3rd trophy gone and it's not even Christmas yet.

MAKE MORE FUCKING CHANGES YOU PIECE OF SHIT MANAGER

Nah Rafa's a piece of shit.
