Chelsea FC Vs. Manchester United, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Liverpool Fans Think This Is Funny

If you didn’t know, Chelsea FC paid a whopping £50m to Liverpool FC for striker Fernando Torres, despite the Spanish international’s injury problems in the year before the sale. Since coming to Stamford Bridge, Torres has disappointed. This UEFA Champions League match against Manchester United is no exception, as Torres is playing poorly. He looks like a shell of the player that had Liverpool near the top of the table in the English Premier League and into the knockout stages of Champions League. It’s early in his Chelsea career, but a lot of people think that Liverpool pulled off a great piece of business when they sold Torres. Count among those ranks the folks who run the wildly popular Liverpool fan site Empire of the Kop.

Epic swindle? What a great way to put it. Even if you don’t agree, swindle is such an awesome and under-utilized word in today’s society. I need to find a way to incorporate “swindle” into my daily conversations. Chelsea still trail 1-0.
