Anyone attended any live matches? (merged)

Thanks for that.

I hope you enjoyed your experience at the Bridge, if not the result.

I felt at the time that Ancelotti made a big mistake starting Torres that day. I'd even go so far that he bowed to media pressure. Torres was unfit, out of form, Liverpool had been showing signs of resurgence, so a shock was always on the cards. And now it seems that it was that one game that set the scene for Torres's entire Chelsea career to date.

Apparently it was Abromovic that signed Torres and not Ancelotti. Do you believe this is true?

No I don't. This is just more media-concocted bollocks.

Ray Wilkins stated that "we", that is Ancelotti and himself, "wanted Torres in the summer but that at the time Liverpool were unwilling to sell. So we came back in January and managed to make a deal".
