There are some rumors going around that Torres is going to be on sale for a much cheaper price ...What a disappointment he has been :(

Really rather poor from Cech there, although I'm not sure whether anyone is still surprised by them.

If you have anything else on your mind other than "ball" in those situations, you're going to **** it up.

Chelsea back in the game after playing poorly for the first 20 minutes. Drogba almost got them in the lead. WAG :wub:

It sometimes seems like actually bothering to mark your opponent seems to have gone out of the game entirely, in favour of allowing them the freedom of your penalty box.

It's not complicated. Get between them and the ball. And stay there.

Probably a fair result in the end, couple of great chances for both sides at the end, Ramires with a shocking miss.

Yeah it really was, wasn't it? A true example of a "free header" and he completely botched it.

Terry's clearance off the line at the other end was really great though, much as I dislike him I have to give him that one.

Great how Ashley Cole was made to look a fool on numerous occasions by Kyle Walker as well, must surely be catching the eyes of Capello and Co by now. Insofar he's likely to soon be considered as competing for a regular starting place, I mean.

He's gonna have to get used to providing sterling defence against all the odds soon....

I'm not convinced how good this "cultural differences" argument is though. I don't for one moment believe Suarez actually is a racist, and I'm happy to accept that whatever he said may have be acceptable elsewhere in the world. I feel a bit sorry for him in this sense, as it probably is just a misunderstanding, and he's really copped for it at the expense of what Evra has said (who let's face it less than a decent individual). However, whilst the alleged offence may have been dealt with differently in other parts of the world, it did not occur in other parts of the world. I think that's the crux of the matter, and unfortunately for Suarez, ignorance is not bliss.
It's a **** argument.

People using the "what he said wouldn't be considered racist in Uruguay" seem to be missing the key point about this - England isn't Uruguay.

If I go abroad and break the law or do something which is culturally insensitive, I don't think "it's fine where I come from" would pass as a defence. When in Rome...

Cool, didn't realise that was him.

Defending Terry doesn't feel good.

Which begs the question as to who as been the bigger waste of money - Torres at £50m or Carroll at £35m?

Too depressing to think about, haha.

And fwiw, Cech has accepted blame for the Spurs goal.
