Don't know if this is true, but two separate people (one an Arsenal fan, the other a United supporter) have sent me this today.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres was the butt of a joke at Didier Drogba's Foundation charity ball when the winner of a training session with the Ivorian offered to give it to the goal-shy Spanish striker.

Drogba didn't react to the joker who had paid £15,000 for the privilege to train with the 34-year-old striker and, thankfully for Torres, the Spaniard was not there to hear the jibe.

The man was on stage to collect the prize when he made the quip. 'I'm giving this to Fernando Torres,' he said.

Immediately the room erupted into laughter but Drogba remained stoney faced, aware any reaction could potentially cause a problem in the Chelsea dressing room.

Exceptional result for Chelsea, I expected them to get a dusting tonight.

I was unsure really. Napoli, whilst a quality side, don't really have the experience of getting results away from home in these two legged ties. However, I still felt they had enough to get a couple of goals against a dodgy Chelsea defence, but I'm guessing Chelsea played really well, as I didn't watch.

Got told by a lad in work today that Stuart Pearce, alongside Redknapp, is the only English manager that could win the world cup with England. His reasoning? "He done a top job at Man City and he's done really well with the U-21s".

From what i heard, and the short highlights i saw later on, Napoli started off brightly, Cech made 2 or 3 reasonable saves 'early doors' when it was still 0-0 , they had a good few chances, Cavani had one at the far post late on that i would think he would be disappointed to have put into the side netting

The best Chelsea performance for a long time, we actually looked like a team last night. Ramires was awesome again.
