Hahahahahaha, yep. The cunts at sky want to turn everything into a fucking soap opera & most editors are treating them like the rats to murdocks pied piper.
It's infuriating, it's a fucking game of kick about, that's it, stop trying to nail your bullshit to it.
Which one?
I know, there's too much drama. It's tiring. I just want to see the team in Red score more goals than the other team please. I'm too old for this melodrama over H and G/ Kenny / Suarez/ Torres / Rogers / Roy - I mean it's been quite a dramatic few years @ L4
you mean autumn
Jimmy only done young girls.
Edit: He wasn't a fucking pervert.
I know, I know, this would have been so much funnier if I had written that second line the first time.

ha - does that no go against everything he did at us and said at valencia ? Learning from past mistakes or talking shite like 99% of managers ?
Oh and he says 7 months there .
Not arsed. Two groups of people that I hate getting pissed off - RAWK mentalists and Chelsea fans. I'm made up.
On the Torres point, those who definitely don't want him back at LFC can breathe a sigh of relief. Even if that ever *was* a possibility, it'll never happen now. If Rafa gets him back to his best, they'll never sell him to us. If even Rafa doesn't manage it, we'll know nobody can.
I don't think it's as straightfoward as all that. Rafa got Torres playing brilliantly within a certain system and certain players around him. Rafa may well decide that it's not worth rejigging the Chelsea team to get the most out of Torres when he can just buy another top class striker in January, which Chelsea seem hellbent on doing regardless.
Even when Torres was at his peak, it was observable from his performances in the Spanish national side that he only really thrives in a certain kind of system. I think Chelsea was the wrong move for him and he better than anyone must realize that. . He'll never be as good as he was regardless of systems because his game needs that explosive burst that he had and it's just not going to come back. He is still a good player though and he should go find a team where he can start enjoying his football again and prove that.
As someone else on here said the other day, it's always sad to see great talent go to waste and now that the bitterness has subsided, I think it would be good to see Torres do well again (as long as it's not at Chelsea).
It always amazes me when people get het up about what Benitez may or may not do.
It's like they say he couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag but feel the need to diss him just in case he 'lucks out' yet again and wins another trophy.
Alex Ferguson is a classic case, can't figure out why he's so worried to take a sly dig when an opportunity arises. He could have had some class and wished him well like Mourinho.

The day Ferguson shows class will be the day Kate Beckinsale sashays into my bedroom wearing nothing but a bright smile.
I don't really think he'd fail significantly, but there are so many issues that just seem to suggest this might be dead in the water. He likes full control of everything, he has a hierarchy there who have zero patience and a huge say in who's on the playing staff.
The flip side is that Rafa works well with a ready made squad. He works well in competitions where everything is against him (their CL group) and he may just feel a bit less pressure with the contractual agreement, where it's provisionally until the end of the season and everyone knows who their real managerial target is. So he might feel less inclined to shackle the side and that's when we see the best of him.
One of the main issues for Chelsea at the moment is defensive instability. Luiz isn't good enough at the back, Terry is struggling and Mikel is a poor DM. So what we might see is a reshuffle (or purchase) at the back, Luiz moving into a less pressured DM role and someone else like Mikel alongside him, to give them stability and grit in midfield. That would be the perfect springboard for a three in behind Torres/Drogba, with Mata likely to get the 'Gerrard' role to feed Nando.
It's not a write off by any means. I don't want him to do well because I don't want Chelsea to do well, it's nothing personal. I think there are plenty of reasons why he can succeed there, but the knives are out from the off and it's how he wins them over in this initial pressured state.
I can see it now..
Benitez leads Chelsea to the title, but Roman has made it known he will not extend his contract as the appointment of Guardiola is imminent..
Meanwhile Liverpool have Sacked Brendon Rogers after finishing 8th in the league and failing to qualify for Europe..
Do we go for Rafa.. pressure is on the board to reinstate him as manager as the Kop have been singing his name...

I think my mind would erase any thought of Ferguson if the Beckinsale situation occurred.
And I think LFC had decided to let him go as well
I prefer to see more ambitious step from the owners to sack BR before the window opens and sign Guardiola. Rafa would not solve our problems.
Neither would guadiola
Rafa was given the chance for 6 years to win us the PL trophy and he failed. So get a new fresh manager in and a manager who have the experience at the highest level and know how to win trophies. In football everything is a gamble.
