Nah probably a draw. Since Dalglish has been in charge again he hasn't fared well in the most important games (Spurs, Braga, United in the FA Cup).

He had the chance to join a big club. I would have done so too considering your old owners promised him better wages for next season.

Hasn't lost to any of them in the 5 league matches we've played against them since he took over, won 3 of them too.

The win at Arsenal this season was good and was an important game; you were playing for pride in the others though.

Jamie wrote:"I was aware that Liverpool wanted to sell me in the summer, which was a bit surprising to me," Meireles told a press conference.

"All I have to say is that I had one promise at Liverpool which wasn't fulfilled. It's not the time to blame people but that's why the Liverpool fans are unsure why I left.

"But I'm here now. I want to be here at Chelsea. Liverpool asked me to hand in a transfer request, so that's normal. So that's what I did. When Chelsea showed interest, it was like a golden opportunity."

What is it?

Chelsea are taking 'in-depth' measures to establish the accuracy of an interview in which Fernando Torres appeared to criticise his club-mates.

The striker spoke to the official website of Spain's Primera Liga last week, with an English translation later appearing on the striker's personal website.

Torres, who has endured a miserable run in front of goal since his £50million move from Liverpool, was quoted as branding Chelsea's "older" players as "very slow", and hailing new team-mate Juan Mata as a necessary signing.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas sought an explanation from Torres, who claimed his words were not translated accurately on his own website.

Chelsea were on Monday seeking to obtain a copy of the interview in its original Spanish and Villas-Boas revealed he would warn Torres not to speak so candidly about the club in future if the translation did stand up.


He said: "We are going in-depth to regain the tape of that interview. We'll see if things play exactly as they are in that interview."

The interview was authorised by Chelsea, otherwise Torres would have been facing a fine.

Asked what action would be taken if the translation proved accurate, Villas-Boas said: "We'd just talk. Just talk. To share opinion. If it was unauthorised, I'd fine him. Of course."

He added: "Anyhow, it's one player's perspective. I don't think it's a perspective that the manager shares. I don't have to share my players' ideas sometimes.

"I think we have competence, apart from the 'age problem', which for me is not a problem. Maybe we just have to speak about that situation and he has to see our view as well."


Torres' troubles show no sign of abating, with the 27-year-old losing his place in the side for Saturday's Premier League win at Sunderland having also failed to even make the bench for Spain's European Championship qualifier against Liechtenstein.

Villas-Boas did not offer Torres an explanation having admitted 48 hours earlier he would not hesitate to drop the striker if it benefited the team.

"I just made the changes," said Villas-Boas as he considers whether to recall Torres for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League opener against Bayer Leverkusen.
"I think any player who's not part of the squad or the selected players is not happy.

"I'm glad because maybe you can stimulate them to go one step further, or motivate them a bit more."
