The moment he put on that blue shirt he has been a train wreck. I cant wait till this season is over so he can be off.

Cant believe he captained us before.

Torres again.

Jesus.

Let it go mate. Move on.

His lob against palace was so dire I almost vomited on his attempt alone. He definitely wasn't the worse performer but because of his flops infront of goal, this has costed alot of points.

How is he still at our football club? We even have Lukaku out on loan! Don't get me wrong he has done some very important things for Chelsea, but he has been shocking this season. His lob near the end today when he was presented with a golden opportunity was literally laughable. I don't like signalling players out but enough is enough. 

Not being funny, Nando knows he is outta here in the summer.

I know he says on interviews he has X amount years on his contract, but he must realise that he'll be sold. So there's no wonder he is not 'knocking his pipe out!' - same goes for Demba Ba. Both will get new clubs easily enough. Neither seem to have much pride.

To be fair, it's difficult to be a Chelsea forward. We play too narrow, our full backs can't cross and our build up can be stupidity slow.... However, if we had someone with a little class then he'd make and TAKE chances outta nothing!!! Roll on the summer when the transfer window opens.

I just hope we sign a replacement sooner rather than later!!!

Since there are two new posters who are anti-Torres, I thought it would kinda even things out if there is one new poster who isn´t ;).

Looking for a scapegoat (and Torres is an easy one), when the whole team wasn´t up for it, just doesn´t sit well with me.

Well that´s usually my reaction. So touché!

 

I´ve been reading this message board for a while, so I have to ask... Were you always so ouspoken about your frustration or did it start this season? I only remember it being other posters...

No pretty much the best part of three years.

What brought you to this forum and who do you support?

Oh ok. I only remembered a few others.

 

Haha you won´t like the reason I joined. A poster wished an injury on a player (hard to guess which player) and I just had to say something. I´m not the type to join a message board at all. It´s kinda scary for me, but I couldn´t stay away. 

 

I am not really a football club person . Somehow it doesn´t work for me. I do like Chelsea though and it´s my favourite club in England.

The team I support is the Spanish National team so I know that will endear me to everyone here ;).

 

TMI and not reallly interesting I guess.

 

P.S. I´d never thought I´d have the first conversation on here with you. That´s really surprising and kind of cool.

Each to their own so fair enough el-gitano.

Who do you want wearing the no 9 shirt for Spain in Brazil and do you think Mata should be in the squad?

It will be Costa for sure. I have to say though that this puts a huge damper on my Spain love. I realize he´s a brilliant striker, but I can´t stand his antics.

That´s a tough one... I love Mate but I don´t really think he´s been brilliant for Spain when he played . This is of course because he´s used on the wing and he is wasted there. Del Bosque will probably prefer to take Thiago and Koke.

I was trying to figure out how many Spanish players Chelsea have had and Google refreshed my memory! Three were / are quality; Ferrer, Mata and Dave. Two were forgettable; Del horno and De Lucas. One the jury is still out on; Romeu. And the other is one of the biggest transfer disasters in world football history.

Not having seen much of him in La Liga, what's your thoughts on Romeu?

Well I´m not really a Spain expert and I have to admit that I haven´t really watched Valencia this season.

I usually just watch Barcelona and Real. I know it´s shameful.

I think that was me, and quite honestly since i said it ive wished it every weekend since. He is a c**t of the highest order and the sooner i see him in another teams colours the better.

P.S I feel honoured that i got you to stay, i got you to stayyyyyyyy el_gitano i got you to stay.

He's never been a joyful looking fella has Torres. He was the same at Liverpool, always complaining and looking meh but he was scoring so it didn't matter. When the goals dry up like his time here people say "ah he doesn't care and is uninterested" which is a pile of crap and very short sighted unless these people never watched him before he came here.

 

 

It's like a beautiful woman, who's used to getting constant attention from men. Once her looks are gone, all that's left is her personality and you kind of realize, she has absolutely nothing to say.

Wrote a little tongue in cheek ditty for him to the tune of "I love you baby" after his performance yesterday.

You're just too bad to be true

Can't pass the ball to you

You've got a shocking first touch

I wanna sell you so much

And if we can't get a fee

I'll drum you out on a free

You're just too bad to be true

Can't wait to get rid of you...

Fernando Torres, you drive me round the bend

Fernando Torres, missed at the Stretford

Fernando Torres, 19 league goals since you've been here

Fernando Torres, oh how the mighty does fall

Fernando Torres, keeps tripping over the ball

Fernando Torres, steals two hundred grand every week

We sold Sturridge for you,

We loaned out young Romelu

But your performance won't pick up

You missed that chance in the Club Cup

We literally pray for the bid

To pack you off to Madrid

You're just too bad to be true

Can't pass the ball to you

Fernando Torres, you whinge, you scratch, can't score

Fernando Torres, even Furlong got more

Fernando Torres you cost us FIFTY MILLION QUID

Fernando Torres, there's an easier way

Fernando Torres, don't let it be this way

Fernando Torres, please vamos to the Calderon

I don't think Torres deserves a tune from The Deer Hunter, most inapt.

 

How about this tune, from an old Quiz show.......

 

 

Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank,

Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank,

Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank,

Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank,

What if he scores the winner at Anfield next month?

 

Don't just don't.

 

I am tired of IFs when it comes to Torres, I've heard them since he first arrived and none of them have come true besides maybe the Barcelona moment. Torres will never score against Liverpool, I mean he barely scores against anyone so I really doubt he will score against them, he sh*ts himself every time he plays them.

Aside from that bizarre choice of lob at the end, I thought he was far from our worst performer today to be honest.

 

But it wasn't a choice he made as such, it was the most compelling evidence so far that he is absolutely , categorically, and definitively finished as a footballer. I almost felt sorry for him if I wasn't too busy feeling sorry for myself. I can only imagine how bad Demba Ba must be in training to not be picked before this utter shambles of a player.
