Kids do driveby shootings on thier bicycles in Liverpool, UK. That's not a joke by the way

There's no shame in pulling on your shirt for your country

The lad wants to win an Olympic medal, what athlete wouldn't? I wouldn't want to pass up the chance to win one for the sake of a pre-season run out against the Seattle Sounders or Man City in the Charity Shield. Of course no-one wants him coming back burnt out or injured, but Juan Mata knows Juan Mata and if he thinks he can do it all, good luck to the boy.

Fingers crossed he'll have a good game tonight

Nobody wanting to give him another season to see if he can deliver?

Torres has been a disappointing acquisition. I'm sure most Chelsea fans feel the same way as I do about him and really hope that he'll come good this season. Having said that, you can't ignore the reality that he has not provided the performances Chelsea fans had expected last January.

That's true. Getting through December/January has been a fumble-a-thon these last two seasons.

That's a troublesome end to the season. I'm not expecting us to be challenging for the title next season (I'd love to eat my words come April) but to get back in to the Champions League spots.

No Lampard or Hulk lads?

You can't even believe the date on the Sun
