when rafa tookover, the team had lost the dressing room.
now hes brought the fire back to torres...again...who is actually now chelsea's top scorer in all competitions...

i think if Rafa really leaving Chelsea...next season Torres will go from this...


to this again...

interesting fact is Torres is currently the reigning World Cup, European, UCL & Europa Champion
fulfilled his trophy desires aint it. No reason for him to sulk anymore since he won something & pockets >100k/week.....life's good for him

He won it with Di Matteo's team...

Tough being a Chelsea fan, having to support Rafa but in the end, the club comes first. Whoever wishes for the club not to do well just to get the manager sacked needs to be institutionalised. Some years back, we were rumoured to be considering Jose Mourinho. Although I did not like him, I respected him as a manager and like some posters here, I was actually looking forward to his appointment. So what if he was an old adversary who would constantly lock horns with Rafa? He was a man who stood by his players and injected huge dosses of confidence in his side. He was and is still cocky but he can back it up. That's what mattered to me.

On a more somber note, Jamie Carragher will be pulling on the red kit for the last time against QPR. I've witnessed his career from start to finish and though I never thought he'd amount to much, I became a fan of Carra not purely for his ability, but for his attitude. He never gives up and he's always putting his body on the line. My favourite Liverpool player, of my generation. Well done Carra. I'll learn Scouse for when you are on air.

His resume is looking better and better since he went to chelsea. Also, he is some kind of a competition troll..always score in the final to troll naysayers.

Congrats to Rafa and Chelsea. Rafa deserves a lot of credit for this one. He did pretty well under the circumstances to steady a club in disarray and won them the Europa League and CL qualification. I watched the match and it was entertaining. Chelsea were poor in the first half but after half time team talk, the came out with all guns blazing. Torres scored a brilliant individual goal. They then concede a poor penalty to Benfica. Cardozo (Remember him?) scored the penalty. And in the final seconds of the match Ivanovic (after absorbing some of Suarez's energy from the bite ) scored a beautiful header to the top corner far post. A cup final-worthy match.

I feel bad for Benfica and their supporters too at the same time. Imagine being in 7 European cup finals in a row and never have won one. They lost all of it. Sickening. They should just abolish the football club.

LOL carra..I still cant brain the fact that he's gonna be a sports presenter. We all have to learn scouse.

How I wish Torres to come back to us..then Big Andy also come back, next season we can play 3 strikers..!
I always play PES with 3 strikers, and it works very well!

i found an old phone of mine.
imagine nowadays can just change cover etc...no need find limited edition phones

i hope we will get penalty against qpr so Carra can take it and score on his last match!

maybe remy will get a red card for trying to rape coutinho.

rafa being an interim manager sure is doing abit of signings.

What is this shit ? Why all of a sudden everyone wants to retire???

Fergie, Scholes,Phil, Carra and now Beckham???

Wouldn't it be heartbreaking for him and for us if he fumbles it?

whose that llori?
look like we are chasing the sporting lisborn wonderkid

Looks like we are linked with McManaman, McCarthy, Papadoupoulos, Ilori, Tello, ......etc etc..some papers even say close to signing some of them..

Guess we can play a different 11 every match if we get all of them..

Apparently he can play centreback and right back just like Martin Kelly but 3 years younger..but if 4mil as stated in the news i say get him..

Is he a gangster?

LOL. Newspaper epic failure.

Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao has dismissed speculation that he has already agreed to a move

"I don't know anything. I keep myself apart of what is being said. If it was for the press, I have already been transferred to all the teams in Europe like Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United.

"The only real thing is that I am in contract until 2016, all the rest is only speculation. I don't know anything about Monaco, I have my mind focused where I am ".
