A quiet optimism for Chelsea and Torres

At around this time last year, Fernando Torres was heading into a new campaign with a team that had just undergone a change in management following a poor preceding season and there was a fresh buzz about the place, partly due to the goal-scoring potential he promised once he would get back to full form.

Bright Future at the Emirates?

Luton Town. Swansea City. Doncaster Rovers. Carlisle United. MK Dons. Crawley Town. Birmingham City. Darlington. What do these eight clubs have in common? They have all won a trophy in the past six seasons; something that Arsenal have failed to achieve in that very same time period.
