Following on from our exclusive story how Chelsea striker Fernando Torres had asked not to be picked for the title clash at Old Trafford, Redflagflyinghigh can reveal the Spaniard has taken out a super injunction on the sporting press.
With footballers taking out injunctions to prevent harmful stories being printed about them, Torres feels it’s the best way forward in his career.
An imaginary source close to the £50 million man revealed:
“El Zero’s had enough of all the negative press his below par performances have been getting, so has decided to follow the advice of others in his team by taking out a super injunction to prevent the media from reporting just how bad he has been playing of late.”
Since his mega money move from Liverpool, Torres’ has had to endure the following headlines:
“Chelsea’s most expensive failure” Daily Mail
“Torres flops again” The Telegraph
“Comical” The is London
“A dead weight” L’Equipe
“A vanity signing for Roman Abramovich…destined to struggle” The Guardian
“Now it appears he is not even putting in the effort to justify his ludicrous transfer fee and £180,000-a-week wages.” The Sun
“Pathetic” The Daily Star
“Brilliant, worth every penny.” Manchester United Daily
Torres latest anonymous performance at Old Trafford which saw the Reds all but relieve Chelsea of their Premier League title, was the final straw for Torres who feels the only way to stop the harsh headlines is through legal action.
Another phantom source close to the striker said: “Some have suggested Fernando should practice his shooting or perhaps take up another sport, but he feels if he can prevent the press reporting on him, he may get his confidence back.
“It’s become increasingly embarrassing when friends and family phone from Spain having read the British headlines, and ask what the translation for ‘abysmal’ is.”
A legal source described Torres’ request for an injunction “absurd.”

brilliant.well done on your success yous have easily been the best team last 20yrs,no sour grapes here
lol, thought this was true for a bit, so for player ratings of the games he plays in future will he just have to be called “Number 9 (2.5/10)”?
i get it.
What about the super injunction taken out by Ryan Giggs?Sorry forgot the woman beater is a perfect role model.Only at the decrepit swamp hey?
stop lying it wasnt giggs you trash talking whore, and even if it was he certainly didnt beat me you scouser twat.
Giggs!! Atleast he has deliverables, so even if he takes out a super injunction, the fans will concentrate on his on pitch performance.
Torres?? What to say!? I wud rather he concentrated on perfectinfg his shooting not his hiding by asking not to be selected for the united game (a tittle decider at tht) then taking out super injuctions. HOW WILL HIS FANS KNOW HE STILL LIVES ANYWAY.
