For Fernando Torres, it will be a long way back to media approval. His move to Chelsea, for a
record £50m, will lead to him always being highly scrutinised and criticised for each game where
he doesn't score.
His performance against Manchester United, which included a fine goal, a number of feats of
fleeting footwork and concluded a great week for him, which included two assists against Bayer
Leverkusen on Wednesday, will be remembered for one other incident.

Like Martin Luther King Jr., Roman Abramovich has a dream. Or, rather, he had a dream, which
really was less a dream than a looming reality. Problem is, it was ever looming, and it now seems
to have passed him by. The Champions League trophy was on Abramovich's horizon for years,
yet it turned out to be no more than a mirage, a now long-lost memory of hope forgone.

Scott the Red: So, are Chelsea "old and slow"?
Chelsea Den: Ask Torres! Obviously, we have two or three in the squad who are a little older and
slower than they may once have been, that's not exactly earth shattering news though is it?

Well that's what we are to believe if you read this headline from the article posted here which
caught my attention last night.
I do not believe for one second that Roman Abramovich has "ordered" AVB to play the kids or has
told him to do it in a way the press are making out at all.
For me it would be in his remit for when he took the job.

The man who always finds a job: Claudio Ranieri (By Dominic
Vieira)
Whether you think he's world class or not, it's clear Claudio Ranieri is a
lucky manager. Since the Italian retired as a player in 1986, he has rarely experienced
unemployment.
