Was "rooting" for City. Despite what commentators and Spurs homers say, we have no shot at the title. Sets up a big London derby in 10 days, though.

Chelsea are ready to cut their losses on out-of-form striker Fernando Torres and will accept an offer of £20m for the Spaniard in January. Their valuation represents a loss of £30m on the fee they paid Liverpool in January of this year.

He should go back to Atletico or something, but I'd love to have him back

I imagine the Spuds fans are rationalizing crashing out of the Europa League as "we have bigger fish to fry, finishing in the top 4"...

Good luck with that

how about it was a competition we didn't take seriously and played all back-ups outside of a few appearances from 1st team players?

Manchester United could be handed Champions League place

This does not appear all that likely to happen, but the headline made me pretty angry this morning

Wigan equalized late. Always nice to see Chelsea dropping points.

I texted my friend earlier this week that it would be just like Chelsea to drop points v Wigan after taking 3 from City. That team has 0 consistency. Much to my delight, I might add.

will be interesting to see if Abramovich gives Villas Boas time to overhaul the squad. He obviously wants to play an aggressive high line and high press game, but the Chavs don't have the personnel to do it now. His accomplishments at Porto speak for themselves, and any sane owner would accept a year of transition if the end product was a completely remodeled, better side. Then again, Abramovich sacked Ancelloti after he won the Double, so who knows.
