You do go on a bit sometimes though, wee man! It must be your feminine side coming out....

I think we may need to accept that our owner has an unhealthy obsession with Torres. I just read that he went into our dressing room to console him after the game on Wednesday!

That's right because you know more than a specialist sprinting coach........

Oh look, an appeal to authority. What other logical fallacies will you employ in your utterly sad and delusional defense of your hero?

If this guy thinks he can fix Torres in two weeks, then I'm inherently skeptical of his being an authority on the matter.

]The last bit is not a fact, no one really knows why he has lost his pace and explosive power he had...just lot's of peoples different opinions.Knee injuries, physcological issues, lack of hunger ect ect.The 2 week idea by the sprinter is a good idea and one which should be taken when Studge is back and when and if we get another ST in Jan.It can't do any harm?

Psychological issues and a lack of hunger are bollocks. Torres had multiple serious knee injuries and didn't rehab properly before being pressed back into action. I don't think there's much doubt what's caused his decline in pace and power. Whilst you're technically correct that it's not a "fact", it's a well reasoned and exceedingly likely explanation.

If only we had this man to do the honours eh.

Four managers, three seasons:

Apr 23 2011 v West Ham: Second goal in easy 3-0 home win.

Sep 18 v Manchester United: Consolation strike in 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford.

Sep 24 v Swansea: Opening goal in 4-1 win, but awarded red card for two-footed tackle on Mark Gower.

Oct 19 v Genk: Netted second and third goals in 5-0 mauling of the Belgian side.

Mar 18 2012 v Leicester: Third and fourth goals in 5-2 FA Cup win to end his 24-game scoreless run.

Mar 31 v Aston Villa: Last-minute final goal in 4-2 win at Villa Park. First Premier League goal in 20 games.

Apr 24 v Barcelona: Injury-time strike to ensure Chelsea’s progress to *Champions League final, although if the score had remained the same we would still progress

Apr 29 v QPR: Hat-trick in 6-1 rout although Chelsea were two ahead before his first.

Aug 22 v Reading: Go-ahead third goal in 4-2 victory over newly-promoted side.

Aug 25 v Newcastle: Netted second goal in a 2-0 home win.

Sep 25 v Wolves: Fifth goal of 6-0 Capital One Cup canter at Stamford Bridge.

Sep 29 v Arsenal: Opening goal at Emirates as Blues win London derby 2-1.

Oct 6 v Norwich: Early equaliser as Blues go on to win 4-1 at home.

Nov 7 v Shakhtar Donetsk: Blocks keeper’s clearance back into net for opening goal of match won by Victor Moses in stoppage time.

Only the ones coloured in red are goals which he either opened the scoring or put us ahead.

In Fact his tally from last season is bloated because more than half of his goals were against abject opposition(Genk; QPR; Leicester).

Compare him to Sturridge for example, those two have a similar amount of games for us.

Sturridge - 49(47 sub) - 96 apps - 24 goals

Torres - 62(25 sub) - 87 apps - 19 goals

Last season both players played around a similar amount of minutes, yet Sturridge secured more points for us:

*Game Changing Goals - GCG

Sturridge's goals in 69% of the time last season were goals which ensure we won some points. While that was the case for only ONE goal by Torres. Yet Torres is an automatic starter this year and Sturridge was given 200 minutes on the field

Atleast Torres can score in training sessions...went and scored a bicycle kick. Maybe he should save some of these goals for games..

You sure that's a bicycle kick, and he hasn't just slipped over on a banana skin?

you cant tell from that picture but the goal is actually to the left

i read a few months ago (yes i know its just the papers) that torres is the only player to have romans personal phone number

I'm glad you brought me into it. It must be all of five seconds since you last mentioned my name. Your fascination with me is bordering on obsessive and I'd be careful if I were you, as your dreamboat Torres might start to get jealous. It's not so much that you support Fernando, it's that you're so blinded by infatuation you can't see any flaws in him at all. You're like a love-struck teenager (even though I realise you're only six). I really hate to burst your bubble but the apple of your eye really isn't that good. In fact he's downright sh*t, and has been ever since he arrived. You're not a Chelsea supporter at all, as you've often proved and as Just rightly says, as soon as Torres goes you will too. You'll follow him to the end of the earth (personally I think that's the best place for you both, just think, you, Fernando, the soft music, the low lights, him in his thong and you in your Liverpool underpants, a match made in heaven).

Please feel free to remind everyone for the umpteenth time that I said I wanted Chelsea to lose and please feel free to call me a plastic. Every genuine Chelsea fan would understand my anger at the very least, but not you, because you're not a genuine Chelsea fan, hence you're the only person who feels the need to follow me round these boards reminding me of it. Remember, while you're having your fun the rest of us are in a lot of pain. Pain at what is happening to our club. It's not your club so I don't expect you to understand.

Please feel free to retort I shan't be rude to you again. The stage is yours. Tell me what a plastic I am and tell me how good Torres is. I was rude to you on Wednesday, and while you deserved it I feel ashamed of myself, for that's not what I'm on these boards for. You'd just been following me around once too often, but hey, at least I wasn't rude to a Chelsea fan.

Blimey! A 3 paragraph response just because I mentioned your name in a post not directed at you. i have seen you do the same to me as well so I guess you also have an obsession with me?

All I can say about that post is that it has taken a couple of minutes of my life I will never get back. You do spout some rubbish don't you! If you get that wound up by me I'm sure you can just stop responding and I will do likewise.

We do feel rather sorry for you.

And we're certainly worried about the fact that it took you 2 minutes to read Davey's post.

Apart from that, we are, quite understandably, enthralled with your input.
