Speaking of Chelski, have you heard Fernando Torres just broke David Blaine's record of standing around in a box doing nothing for 40 days?


@danwilson88: Fernando Torres walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a couple of shots please." The barman says, "That's not like you."

@MirrorFootball: Fernando Torres tries to walk into a bar... but misses. Erm, have we got the hang of this?

@MirrorFootball: Worried about her son, Torres's mum sends him to a careers adviser. All goes well until he asks: 'What are your goals?'

@Pandaman_cometh: Torres has quashed reports that Stamford Bridge is haunted by saying "I can't find any ghouls"

@MirrorFootball: Torres was turned down for a role distributing medicine in Africa. The Red Cross complained he kept wasting all his shots


@Pandaman_cometh: Torres recently lost his telesales job as he kept missing the targets


@AnnieEaves: Torres and Gomes would make awful fishermen. Torres can't get anything in the net and Gomes struggles to catch stuff.

@Tilley_96: @MirrorFootball torres has settled as a barman. He is good at putting shots over the bar


@MirrorFootball: There's a new downloading tool called BitTorres. It's rubbish though - after 12 hours waiting you still don't get any success


@MirrorFootball: Rumours are  the new FIFA12 game has a special 'Torres mode' - when you select it, it's suddenly impossible to.... Oh, what's the use :P

   Good thing Micah Richards made it as a footballer; I don't think he'd have fared too well at English :P

Protip for ManU and Fergie: don't give Messi/Xavi/Iniesta 10 metres of space in front of your defense...

  I agree; Barcelona are 1337, but it was a shoddy defensive performance from United.

 That might prove to be the most memorable example of defenders getting sucked in since Pele drew 3 defenders towards him before setting up the only goal of the Brazil - England match in 1970:

Man city will flop like the last 3 years. They should realise that they are not going to win the premier league with tiny attacking players. If they were in La Liga they can but, this is EPL. You need tall and strong strikers like Drogba to do the job.

Reasons why Man city will flop:
- Poor management by Mancini
- Players aren't professional enough ( Tevez, Ballotelli etc.)
- Too many short players ( Johnson, Tevez, Silva, Wright-Phillips and now Aguero.

If there is a team to win the EPL this year it is either United or Chelsea.  Thumbs down to Liverpool as they copped a 3-0 drubbing just two days ago by my favourite team, Galatasaray. :)

None of you have any idea what you're talking about.

Playmakers, we have them in spades. Silva, Yaya Toure, and De Jong are all world class in that aspect.

We're looking at bringing in another bullet into the midfield for when we rotate through champions league. Probably Nasri will join us by the end of the window.

In terms of height, you really only need height at the back. And if we need height at the front for an aerially week team, we have Dzeko AND Balotelli.

Then up the back, Richards is a man-mountain. Lescott is extremely tall (though he won't be seeing much first-team action) similarly Clichy is tall. Then add to that that Toure is one of the tallest players in the league... Onur you have no idea :P

Finally, Bazza, you do need 35 good players for Europe. There's enough Man City squad players to fill 2 firsts teams. That's what you need to be able to do to do well domestically and abroad. United does it, and now City is doing it.

I think you're going to have to come to grips with the fact that City is going to win the league this year. :)
