Chelsea hit Arsenal for six to humiliate Arsène Wenger in his 1,000th game

Arsène Wenger's 1,000th game will always be remembered for The Mysterious Case of the Wrong Card, but Arsenal should probably just be grateful the sideshow was so intrusively farcical, and the refereeing so birdbrained, it might spare them even greater scrutiny of their own deficiencies. Ignore, for one moment, Andre Marriner's contribution to a wild and eccentric afternoon. The real story here was of Arsenal capitulating, once again, in one of the major fixtures.
Add this to the 6-3 at Manchester City, the 5-1 at Liverpool, and not forgetting the

As Fernando Torres turns 30 is it time he returned to Atlético Madrid?

 In the week of Fernando Torres's birthday, it can't have been much of a present to see Didier Drogba back at Chelsea. The Ivorian's visit with his current club Galatasaray brought with it tributes from José Mourinho, hugs from his former teammates and misty-eyed pre-match reminiscences. All around Stamford Bridge banners still hang that proclaim Drogba as one of the greatest to wear Chelsea blue, and few fans would have begrudged the old warhorse one last goal at the ground. Torres must know that he will never be taken to heart in the same way.
He has always seemed to exist in Drogba's giant shadow. Though he was signed for £50m in January 2011, the sort of fee that

Manchester United's Robin van Persie fears missing World Cup

 

Robin van Persie may not play for Manchester United again this season because of a sprained knee, with the striker concerned his World Cup hopes could be ruined if he returns too early.
Although the club stated that the Dutchman would miss "four to six weeks", it is understood that Van Persie, who had the injury rescanned in Holland on Friday, has been informed of the need for caution. The striker is to undergo treatment on the knee and, even if Van Persie waits the full six weeks, which would take him into early May, he will have to be very careful returning then so as not to compromise playing for Holland at Brazil 2014.

Real Madrid's young forward Jesé faces a lengthy period on the sidelines after rupturing the cruciate ligament in his right knee in Tuesday's Champions League win over Schalke.
The 21-year-old was knocked to the ground and landed awkwardly when he tangled with the Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac in the second minute of Real's 3-1 second-leg victory at the Bernabéu and had to be replaced by Gareth Bale.

David Moyes bullish amid first hints of Manchester United hierarchy doubt

David Moyes is coming under increasing scrutiny from the Manchester United hierarchy, though the manager insists that his situation remains the same.

When asked about his job security, before Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Olympiakos, Moyes said: "My future has not changed one bit. I have got a great job, I know exactly the direction I want it to go in. It's not been the season we hoped we would have but I have ideas of what I want to do and put in place when the time is right.
