Don't know what tackle you lot were watching, but look at the way he throws himself at Diaby and lands on his leg. You can see it start to bend, and if it his studs had been stuck in the grass, it would have broken his leg.

Eh. We're hardly the only club in the world who sign youngsters.

Very nervous about this one, If we lose the Liverpool fans and the Liverpool loving media are going to have an absolute field day. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy hope we beat them, and beat them well, leaving them in no doubt that we're the bigger club nowadays.

Just watched the Newcastle Arsenal highlights. Barton should have been sent off, it was a leg breaker of a "challenge". Terrible. And afterwards he actually says "I can't understand his reaction". Ridiculous. Wish someone would just break his legs and end his career. Lawro being an utter c**t as well, as usual. Said it was a "really good, robust challenge". For f**k sake, use your eyes.

You cock, you scared me there, thought they'd equalised.

Pointless getting any hopes up, we've seen it time and time again this season. Manchester have fallen behind, maybe even not long to go, and every time they come back and f**king win. They're still unbeaten and will end the season unbeaten as well.

Well at 17:33 I thought I'd check the scores since Man Uts had been playing 3 minutes and were bound to have scored by then. And low and behold, Nani (3 mins).

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9386882.stm "Robert Huth scored two late goals as Stoke fought back to stun Sunderland."

Not going well for us at the moment then. Spurs 1-0 up Man City 2-0 up Arsenal 4-0 up (after 30 minutes!) And with Man Utd playing Wolves later I can't see them slipping up.

You can't learn anything about England from Skins, apart from the fact that we have sh*t television programmes.

2 goals for Huth today as Stoke beat Sunderland 3-2

This is all very exciting!!!! I think I'll put lots of exclamation marks!!!! Bad Bad Company, 'til the day I die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother Fernando took a pay cut to join Liverpool ... he left because he was depressed Simon Johnson If the bitter voices of dissent emerging from Liverpool this past week are to be believed, Chelsea have just wasted £50million of owner Roman Abramovich's money on the 'fraudulent mercenary' that is Fernando Torres. The Spain striker is sure to be reminded of his so-called betrayal by an angry lynch mob dressed in red when he makes his debut for Carlo Ancelotti's side against his former club at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. He has been labelled all sorts of names by Liverpool's ex-players and fans alike, with former striker John Aldridge the most vociferous of the lot following his extraordinary outburst that Torres had "spat in the face" of the club's supporters by demanding the move south. Ex-Reds striker Robbie Fowler has also weighed in with his criticism of Torres, pointing out just a couple of weeks ago the Spaniard was talking "about how much he loved the fans and the club". The man they idolised just seven days ago has suddenly been dismissed as a spent force at the age of 26 and his reputation, not to mention his shirt, has gone up in flames despite his record of 81 goals in 142 appearances. For a club that appear to take great joy in their history, it seems Liverpool have very short memories, not just of his talent but their own significant role in driving him away in the first place. It has taken a heartfelt letter from Torres's beloved elder brother Israel, who refers to him affectionately as 'Fer', to perhaps remind them of their own contribution to the former Atletico Madrid striker's desertion. It is natural for a family member to want to leap to the defence of one of their own but his communication with family friend and Spanish journalist Javier Matallanas on his website www.matador.com is both reasoned and believable. He wrote: "I know it's good for Fer and is a big step up on a sporting level. It was what we all wanted because he felt very down, powerless at being in a club that was more like Atletico with its economic and management problems. "We will carry Liverpool in our heart, as we do Atletico. They are two of the biggest teams in the world and all I feel towards them is gratitude for all they have done for us. "Now a part of supporters hate him, [i think over time they will grow to love him again]. The reasons behind the switch are not financial [he went to Liverpool for less money], the reasons are sporting. His objective is to one day become the best player in the world and I believe that can only be achieved if he is surrounded by the best players. I hope the dreams of my brother can be achieved, the same ones as when he followed me about as a little boy. At no point have I stopped believing that he can become the Number One." Torres jnr had little opportunity to justify his actions before his official unveiling in front of the press today. Up till now his only words had been through Chelsea's in-house media and he simply stated that his decision was motivated by the prospect of winning silverware at the highest level. That only added fuel to the fire as far as Liverpool, who haven't won the League since 1990 and are set to fail to qualify for the Champions League for a second year in a row this season, were concerned. The fact that he joined them from his beloved Atletico Madrid for a smaller salary when he arrived in a £26.5m deal in 2006 has been forgotten. He took a pay cut in pursuit of major honours, yet three-and-a-half years later he was still no closer to a winners' medal having won nothing in Spain either. Torres elected to stay, despite large bids from Chelsea and Manchester City last summer, following promises by Liverpool's former managing director Christian Purslow that big signings were on their way to ensure the club challenged for the title. They ended up with Paul Konchesky, now on loan at Nottingham Forest, and a poor replacement for sacked manager Rafael Benitez in Roy Hodgson, who used negative tactics which ensured Torres saw little of the ball. The saint-like Kenny Dalglish may now be at the helm but it is too little too late as Liverpool find themselves adrift in a lowly-seventh position. Before Abramovich's massive financial outlay on Monday, which also saw defender David Luiz arrive from Benfica in a deal worth £25m, Chelsea also appeared to be in decline. Suddenly they look a force to be reckoned with again as they have genuine hope on three fronts, in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Torres, who may be named on the bench due to the hostility of the occasion on Sunday, has been given just as big a lift from joining a competitive club, as Chelsea have from his arrival. London life will certainly not distract him from his goal of helping Chelsea win trophies because he prefers to stay away from the limelight with his wife, Olalla, and two young children. No one should expect any lurid headlines as Torres prefers to walk his dog rather than gallivant in nightclubs. His move has been welcomed by the majority of his fans in Spain as they were growing concerned about him wasting away at Anfield. It seems certain that he will get the chance to make an instant impression against his former team-mates at some point at the weekend. Everyone associated with Liverpool may not like it but there is no doubt that his career, like Chelsea, is now back on the up.

And on an unrelated matter..my TORRES 9 Chelsea shirt has arrived =D

Interesting that they mention the Pre-Liverpool press conference is going to be Carlo and Fernando. Should be good viewing.

Well I had a bit of a look at it, and choose my starting 11, also put bids in for 2 players. Can't see myself following it through to the end of the season though tbh.

Seem to be a lot more wums on here since the Torres signing. Bitter much?

Really liked RDR, but the undead one i find really boring and can't be bothered with.

Had a dream last night that we went 0-1 down to liverpool inside 3 minutes, Suarez with the goal of course. I've got a bad feeling about this game. A loss here is exactly the kind of thing all the media want so they can go on about how Liverpool are better off without Torres and how Suarez is better anyway and how "King Kenny" is the saviour and then they can jizz themselves into oblivion as they get closer to the top 4.

Very poor, but massive over-reaction by some comments saying it was the worst tackle ever. I've seen plenty that were worse.

Also Fulham 1-0 up against Newcastle. Duff.

Birmingham level against City at the moment. 2-2

Probably get himself sent off then, Essien has a tendency to throw himself into reckless challenges.

They don't show live games. But they have Chelsea Radio for live games. Basically just more interviews and highlights and such.
