Blues jet off to recharge batteries

WITHIN hours of the final whistle, Andre Villas-Boas flew off to Majorca with his Chelsea squad for a five-day stint he hopes can transform their flagging fortunes.

Seems they’ve finally tracked down a country where Fernando Torres can find the net...

Except that he doesn’t score very often for Spain these days either. At least the former Liverpool forward’s continuing barren run in front of goal — 15 matches and counting — acts as a convenient smokescreen for the fuss that the re-run of John Terry v Anton Ferdinand will cause at the end of the week, first on the pitch in an FA cup tie and then in court.
