At the start of the season, there was a sense of “now or never” surrounding Chelsea’s £50 million striker Fernando Torres. In the year and a half since joining the Blues, Torres had shown little to nothing of the form that had made him one of the world’s top strikers in the late 2000’s. He

Repeating last year’s overwhelming success in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League was always going to be hard to achieve - but 3 matchdays into this season, and everything has proven so much harder than anyone ever expected. After Zenit’s and CSKA’s exploits last season all the way to the last 16, the
“When it rains, it pours” goes the proverb, five words that Arsene Wenger would have come more familiar with over the past week after a dismal date with Schalke on Wednesday night was compounded by the Arsenal Annual General Meeting held at the Emirates on Thursday, another year in which Wenger and Stan Kroenke, the
