Terry 0-1 Bridge. Chelsea 2-4 City. Photograph: Rebecca Naden/PA
Preamble John Terry got us in to this disaster by eschewing a elementary handshake and selecting instead to slake his filthy urges by irrevocably deleterious the hold up of a ideally decent human being and additionally a small child; as a effect we right afar have the vaguely silly unfolding of a poignant football compare – Chelsea go 4 points transparent if they win; City go fourth if they pull – being overshadowed by a handshake. A handshake. You know, the thing that is spasmodic used to poignant a critical domestic breakthrough, an arising and the like. Oh, football.
What I would identical to to occur I"m not picky, any of these will do.
1) Bridge goes loyal to his on all sides at left-back when he comes out of the tunnel, not even bothering to costume his disregard for the ludicrous assume that is "The Respect Handshake".
2) The finish City group exclude to shake up up up Terry"s hand, citing the age-old youthful pardon that they don"t know where it"s been.
3) Bridge does a Banzai Mr Shake Hands Man series on Terry, holding the handshake for roughly 4 minutes. A confused Terry, who doesn"t know possibly he"s being mocked, forgiven or about to crop up on This Is Your Life, responds with a headbutt and receives an 84-year anathema from football as a result.
John Terry"s take on it all ""I will indicate my palm and be rebuilt to shake up up up his." Cheers, John! Good of you to pardon him, John!
From afar, Terry seems identical to a strangely English strain of odiousness; the sort who, notwithstanding being guilty of a small palpably but protection behaviour, is means to omit all proof and have their own protest so that they can handle identical to they have been wronged. All unequivocally strange. All unequivocally English. Whoever was obliged for the inhuman try to disprove Bridge a integrate of days ago, be it Terry or one of Team Homewrecker, needs to speak a great prolonged see in the mirror. Trouble is, they do, majority times a day, and they see zero bad looking at the at the at the behind of of of at them. Oh, England.
Team Terry assumingly reckon Bridge is a bottler. How competence such a sense trait perceptible itself, I wonder.
"The front page of guardian.co.uk/sport says that Portsmouth are going to be "cut to the bone"," says Mac Millings. "In the circumstances, that seems identical to an suitable low mark for John Terry, too."
Putting renouned myths to bed dialect The perceived knowledge is that Terry did not allegedly do anything with Ms Perroncell whilst she was still going out with Bridge.
a) So what? They were close friends. Anyone looking to urge Terry on any drift wants to be asking Santy Claus for a new dignified compass as well as a year"s supply of wasps to gnaw on come December.
b) This story suggests otheriwse. "The event the Chelsea star attempted to censor from the universe began after his companion Bridge left Chelsea for Manchester City last year. Terry kept it underneath wraps until we hold him unctuous off to her home for tip romps after afar games and training. He had already laid the grounds by flirting heavily with leggy Vanessa whilst Bridge was still at Chelsea - KISSING and personification FOOTSIE with her underneath his wife"s nose on group nights out." That"s right: KISSING and FOOTSIE with LEGGY VANESSA.
Of course, this is how genuine men solve things. I utterly identical to the long-haired lady perplexing to stop the egg-white-haired lady respirating by smothering him with his breasts.
Team headlines Florent Malouda stays at left-back notwithstanding the accessibility of Paulo Ferreira. Joe Cole starts. Hard to contend possibly City"s arrangement will be as below, or 4-4-2 with Johnson far-reaching right and Barry far-reaching left. I think the former.
Team Terry (4-1-4-1) Hilario; Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Malouda; Mikel; J Cole, Ballack, Lampard; Anelka; Drogba.Subs: Turnbull, Paulo Ferreira, Kalou, Sturridge, Matic, Alex, Belletti.
Team Bridge (4-1-4-1) Given; Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Bridge; De Jong; A Johnson, Zabaleta, Barry, Bellamy; Tevez.Subs: Taylor, Onuoha, Wright-Phillips, Santa Cruz, Sylvinho, Toure, Ibrahim.
Pre-match emails
"Anyone else pining for the days of Mark Stein and David White?" - Niall Mullen.
"What a shining diversion this is already. It"s identical to being square of a probity play. I usually instruct Brian Glover was around to fool around God" - Ian Copestake.
"Mac Millings is a small kind of emailing-in wonder. Every one of these MBMs he pops up. Perhaps he should be cumulative on contract?" - Peter Crosby.
"I can"t hold I got up at 7 in the sunrise on a Saturday for a full of blood handshake" - Aidan Gibson.
"Oh, Rob. Please stop the oh, riff. It"s unequivocally oh-nnoying" - Scott W.

"Drew the prolonged straw for this one eh Robbie? I"m off to bed, it"s half past eleven on Saturday night here and I need my beauty sleep, but I wish second by second research of the handshake that time forgot. Minute by notation usually won"t cut it today. How silly is this total contemptible event eh?" - Sean Boiling.
"About the "oh" complaint. I don"t wish to feel mean. You are my prime MBMer. And I unequivocally thought you get your Proper Journalism Award. Maybe it"s a anxiety to something I don"t get. I feel sparse now" - Scott W.
A unequivocally special email. One so special that it deserves to mount alone "Tomorrow is Sunday that"s the right day for preaching," says Rob in Dusseldorf. "He [allegedly - hypothetical ed.] had an event with Bridge"s EX-GIRLFRIEND. She competence do what she want; if this includes [allegedly - etc] shagging an upsetting [alleged - etc] snort of disabled parking spots, afterwards that"s her choice. If Bridge is cheesed off afterwards tough! As for Terry the usually apologies he needs to have are to his wife. I don"t know if you are in a attribute but if you are such an angel I"m certain it owes some-more to miss of event than to a small clever spirit backbone. It"s easy to equivocate enticement if there is none..."
That"s right, revoke the evidence to abusing me since I don"t see identical to Brad Pitt. Well finished Rob! Also, the main story on that multitude is basing the assumptions about this purported event creates it categorically transparent that they were intent in certain activities whilst she was in a attribute with Bridge. As already settled earlier. It"s not a David Lynch film, Rob.
12.44pm Bridge doesn"t shake up up up hands with Terry. It was Manchester City who had to travel towards the Chelsea players and Bridge, one of the last, looked Terry up and down, thought about it for a separate second - and usually kept walking. Hahaha, that was unequivocally funny.
1 min City are in their white afar strip. Chelsea flog off from right to left.
2 min The genocide knell for a once unapproachable country: Bridge gets his initial hold and is roundly booed. As he goes to collect up the round for a throw-in, you can simply lipread one desirable lady job him a "fucking prick". I wish zero of this.
3 min A sharp-witted begin from Chelsea, as you"d expect. No genuine dangerous attacks, though.
4 min "I conclude this is quadratic to the main points of seductiveness in this game, but is any one else tender by City"s afar strip?" says David Wall. "Nice 70s-throwback-style, and tactfully small promotion logo. Seems that the guys from Abu Dhabi are not calm with usurping Chelsea"s standing as the nouveau-riche of the Premier League, but additionally after the Londoners" repute for sartorial elegance."
Agreed. There are a small thing about City that don"t usually ooze claGARRYCOOKss, but that frame is great.
5 min Lampard thwangs miles over the club from twenty-five yards.
6 min Chelsea are carrying all of the embrace but nonetheless you do anything of note. Tevez is unequivocally removed for City, that I suspect is unavoidable when you collect 3 executive midfielders who frequency run in line with the ball, never mind over it.
7 min "Does any one get the sense that Mancini unequivocally doesn"t know his patrol all that well?" asks Declan Johnston. "His consistent dropping of Stephen Manchester from the choice and appropriation of Vieira gives the sense that he isn"t wholly informed with the personnel, or at slightest didn"t watch them fool around prior to receiving over..."
I determine completely. And by the time he does know the squad, in the summer, it will probably be someone else"s.
8 min Nothing is happening. Bridge is being booed each time he touches the ball, and it"s not mime things either. "Are the Chelsea fans unequivocally booing Wayne Bridge for not jolt John Terry"s hand?" John Donnelly. "Whatever your on all sides on John Terry"s behaviour, on what probable set of dignified beam does not jolt someone"s palm transcend intrigue on your wife?" The English scales. Besides, they aren"t booing him for that; they would have booed him even if he had kissed Terry on both cheeks. They are booing him since ACTUALLY THEY DON"T KNOW WHY THEY"RE BOOING HIM THEY JUST ARE ALRIGHT DO YOU WANT SOME EH EH?
10 min City have their initial postulated spell of attacking, culminating in Adam Johnson being humped over from at the at the at the behind of of of on the right wing, competence be 40 yards from goal. It"s swung low over the far post and volleyed in to circuit by the stretching Kompany.
11 min "Terry should be backed as captain," says Ian Copestake, "because he is a undiluted deputy of small England."
12 min A illusory bid from the left-back Malouda, a first-time shot from 35 yards that arrowed usually a integrate of yards over the bar. In fairness, Given pulled his palm afar but it ideally struck.
13 min Bridge and Terry haven"t been nearby each alternative as yet. You wouldn"t design them to, really, since their positions, unless competence be a dilemma pinballs around the box.
14 min Richards cleans Drogba out usually outward the box on the left wing, a destroyed try at defending. It"ll be taken by Drogba, who as if will go loyal for thought even though it"s an ungainly angle. In actuality it"s a steep and he lays it at the at the at the behind of of of to the dilemma of the box for Lampard, whose shot is blocked.
15 min Richards misjudges Ivanovic"s prolonged pointed cross. That gives Drogba space on the left of the box, but his chipped cranky clears everybody and is privileged by Bridge.
18 min Adam Johnson"s curving free-kick from twenty-five yards, to the right, is absolutely saved by Hilario. But Tevez, using opposite the line of the goalkeeper, wasn"t far afar from removing a touch. Thirty seconds after Given parries a shot from Joe Cole on the left side of the box. It was a sincerely slight save, nonetheless Cole did simply to flog Johnson on the right, come at the at the at the behind of of of infield and afterwards break his shot towards goal. I identical to Joe Cole; I thought this is usually an iffy spell for him rather than something some-more permanent.
20 min "I determine definitely with your sentiments about Terry, but job the booing of Bridge by Chelsea fans the genocide knell for a once unapproachable republic is honestly [insert word here]," says Patrick Cullen. "Spectators at football matches have regularly had the payoff of reserve in numbers permitting them to have socially unsuitable comments, the usually thing that"s altered by the years is the clarification of what is socially unsuitable - and any one who remembers the gorilla noises and thrown bananas of usually a integrate of years ago knows things are relocating in the right direction. Terry doesn"t appear identical to a great bloke, but the Chelsea fans are usually you do what fans regularly try and do - at the at the at the behind of of of their group opposite the antithesis any proceed they can." I"m not observant it"s anything new, and patently the genocide knell thing was a small hyperbolic, but come on: there competence be in reserve in numbers but you can be certain these fans would have the same point individually. And that"s not unequivocally demonstrative of a full of health society, is it now?
21 min Chelsea have had 60 per cent embrace but City"s 7-0-3 arrangement has worked well in conditions of smothering their attacks. Ninety mins is a prolonged time to cling to on at Stamford Bridge, though.
24 min Bellamy, who would have been free on thought – notwithstanding far-reaching on the left – is poorly since offside.
25 min Drogba misses a headed half-chance. He pulled off the laziness Richards towards the far post onto a good, clipped cranky from the right dilemma of the box by the ever-excellent Lampard. He indispensable to head it at the at the at the behind of of of origin it came in to the far corner, but didn"t decider it rightly and popped it tamely over the bar.
27 min "I can"t assistance but essentially feel a small unhappy by the (non)handshake," says Chris Kempshall. "I was rather anticipating City competence have approached Terry some-more along these lines."
28 min Anelka"s 30-yard shot is simply saved by Given. This diversion is shocking. That"s as majority down to City"s proceed as anything. I"m not criticising them for that; I regularly played cagily afar from home to bigger teams on Champo Manager.
30 min A acknowledgment to City, from Richard Clarke: "We"re the Factory Records of football. In the same proceed world"s best-selling 12", Blue Monday, finished them a loss, we"ve won the joining one deteriorate and got relegated the subsequent whilst scoring over 100 goals... doh! More recently, the season"s branch in to "Pills Thrills Bellyaches", as a garland of once-talented representation musicians get loads of income thrown at them, forgot the tract (the Mondays did this on a heroin and crack-fuelled West Indian island recording studio) and furnish a tolerably stiffing manuscript everybody in the city was relying on to save the day."
31 min Kompany slices a clearway over his own bar, that leads to a Chelsea corner. It comes to zero solely a utterly upsetting strife of heads in in between Drogba and Zabaleta. While Zabaleta is treated with colour with colour – and he looks intensely intoxicated – Bridge and Joe Cole have a discuss and a laugh. Bad Joe! Naughty Joe!
35 min Zabaleta is off removing treatment. Richards, meanwhile, is carrying a shocker; he concedes an additional free-kick by the left touchline – and Malouda spanks it loyal out of fool around on the alternative side of the pitch. Bizarre.
36 min Drogba fires over from eight yards. An glorious defensive header from Kompany sent the round to the dilemma of the box, where the onrushing Lampard screwed his initial time shot. It came to Drogba, on the spin and in line with the far post, but he winding a left-footed bid over the top. That was a great opportunity, if deceptively awkward.
38 min Anelka bursts dangerously infield from the left, past dual defenders, but afterwards hopelessly overhits his retreat pass to Joe Cole.
40 min Anelka zips dangerously infield from the left again. This time he lets fly from the dilemma of the box - and it is shut off by Frank Lampard! I reckon that was going in or would, at the unequivocally least, have drawn a glorious save from Given.
41 min "When did the Guardian begin desiring that unsubstantiated report from unnamed sources in the NOTW contingency be treated with colour with colour as "FACT"?" says Rod Boyle. "Do you review your own paper?" No, I try not to. At the risk of undermining your finish argument, I never asserted it was actuality or anything of the kind. You are right, though: competence be Bridge dreamt it all! Like Bobby Ewing! Only with one of his majority appropriate friends betraying him! And competence be Capello dreamt it to and that"s since he sacked Terry!
GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City (Lampard 42) Chelsea"s calm pays off with a glorious thought from the noble Frank Lampard. It was finished by Joe Cole, who got himself in to a poetic on all sides in in between counterclaim and midfield, 35 yards out, and afterwards stabbed an mouth-watering pass down the side of the defence. Lampard, using diagonally from centre to right to the dilemma of the box, cut his first-time shot at the at the at the behind of of of opposite Given and in off the far post. A typically accomplished, clever Lampard goal, nonetheless the fortifying was not great: Kompany attempted to pull up for offside even though Richards, at the at the at the behind of of of him, was five yards deeper and to illustrate personification Lampard onside on the alternative side of the box.
45 min "Man City usually in jeopardy Liverpool with outbreaks of heated dawdling when they played at home," says Ian Copestake, "so I think this is their default character no have a disproportion what the antithesis or where they play." Mancini is doomed, isn"t he?
GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Manchester City (Tevez 45) What a silly goal! A outrageous punt out of counterclaim from Bridge is backheaded by Mikel, on the median line, towards Terry. It goes loyal by him and that allows Tevez to get his head down and assign towards goal. He reaches the dilemma of the area prior to going inside and afterwards at the at the at the behind of of of outward the covering Carvalho and then, off change after a machiavellian outing from Terry, definitely scuffs his shot opposite thought from the right side of the six-yard box. I essentially incited afar to sort about how he"d longed for and competence have had a penalty, usually to listen to the delight around the bureau as the round went in. Somehow it dribbled past Hilario, who dived to his right but was cheated by the finish miss of pace, and in to the corner. A intolerable blunder from Hilario, and a humerous entertainment of errors for Chelsea. As shambolic as the thought was, you have to give outrageous credit to Tevez. He had literally no teammates inside of 50 yards of him. A delight of the human spirit, that goal. Oh and the support goes to Bridge, hilariously.
45+3 min Lescott misses a unequivocally great possibility to give City the lead. A deep, inswinging free-kick from Bellamy on the left found him unmarked at the right dilemma of the six-yard box, but he headed the round opposite thought and far-reaching of the far post. It was ungainly since he saw it late, his perspective vaporous by Richards, but a goalscoring defender of his peculiarity should have finished better.
Half time: Chelsea 1-1 Manchester City Terry moans at the arbitrate on the proceed off; no thought why. Also, seconds prior to the City thought Joe Cole was denied by Given from 10 yards, with Lampard muffing the follow-up.
Half-time emails
"Rob, I was avoiding carrying any perspective on the unlucky Terry-Bridge nonsense, until yesterday I had the set-back of stumbling opposite the Daily Mail"s perspective on the situation. I felt so contaminated by celebration of the mass this square that I am right afar resolutely in Bridge"s camp" - Alan Cooper.
"BOOO! JOHN TERRY! BOOO!" - Alex Netherton.
"Does the support from Bridge and the blunder from Terry show that there is probity in football? Clearly Terry is a man who favours movement over words, so maybe that"s his reparation right there. Much some-more suggestive than a small ghosted-column in the Sun. A man with such dignified restraint should be backed as England captain" - David Wall.
"If the book gods are celebration of the mass could they have the following occur please: Chelsea are heading 2-1 interjection to a thought by Anelka (my Fantasy League group needs the points) in the 89th minute; John Terry sticks out a leg in the box and brings down any Man City player thereby awarding them a chastisement and himself a red card; Wayne Bridge trundles up to him to "encourage him off the pitch"; Wayne Bridge stairs up, dinks the chastisement past Hilario, and cups his palm to his ear to embrace the acclamation of 40,000 West London Blue Boys. Unlikely, but a great daydream" - Atif Ahmed.
46 min City flog off from right to left.
47 min The diversion has a hold some-more snap at the begin of the second half, nonetheless that is not hard. When Ivanovic fouls Tevez, Terry helps him to his feet. A hulk of a man.
48 min Adam Johnson slaloms infield from the right, simply afar from Malouda and to the dilemma of the box, where is he spotless out by Terry, who is booked. The free-kick is twenty yards out and right of centre; preferred for the left-footed Bridge... who rams it loyal in to the wall.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-2 Manchester City (Bellamy 51) A smashing thought from Craig Bellamy! Chelsea were hold terribly on the counter, with Carvalho and Ivanovic stranded upfield, when Barry found Bellamy on the median line down the left wing. He was one on one opposite Mikel and, carrying run to inside of twenty yards of goal, roared past Mikel prior to pulling a unequivocally clever left-footed shot in to the far dilemma from a parsimonious angle. Hilario should have finished improved but that was still a unequivocally great goal; clinical, well-spoken and classy.
55 min Terry plays a unequivocally beautiful pass inside Richards for the onrushing Carvalho – identical to the one he played at the Emirates heading up to Drogba"s opening thought – but his cranky is claimed by Given.
57 min Modern football is odd. City are 2-1 up, but I gamble they"re the usually one of the dual teams who would take a pull right now.
59 min Our collection keep crashing; apologies for this. Ivanovic and Zabaleta have been requisitioned in the last integrate of minutes.
60 min "The handshake for those who longed for it" says Adam Hirst.
61 min Three substitutions. For City, Wright-Phillips replaces Johnson; for Chelsea, Belletti replaces Mikel and Sturride replaces Cole, the latter preference bringing boos from the Chelsea fans.
63 min Tevez squares up to Terry after a plea in the Chelsea chastisement area. Terry won a goalkick by kicking the round off Tevez, and afterwards afterwards they both stranded their chests in to each other. It wasn"t usually footsie, so Mrs Tevez has zero to be concerned about.
65 min "In an definitely uncharacteristic bid to speak about the full of blood diversion - do you know what"s up with Deco?" says Phil Podolsky. "Chelsea"s efficacy notwithstanding, their not intermittently witless displays indicate they could good severely from his machiavellian virtuosity."
Isn"t he usually a bit past it? That said, Chelsea have looked sincerely witless today.
66 min Bellamy roughly creates it 3-1. Tevez played a brilliant, lobbed crossfield pass inside the right-back Ivanovic. Bellamy destroyed over him and in to the area, but the round bounced awkwardly and afterwards enabled Ivanovic to get at the at the at the behind of of of and transparent for a dilemma prior to Bellamy could get his shot in.
67 min A poetic piece for one person run from Anelka, entrance infield from the left, ends with a infamous set upon that Given can usually flog away. It was loyal at him but Anelka strikes the round so beautifully so there was no possibility of catching it. Seconds later, Belletti drives a smashing erratic pass over the head of Lescott for Drogba, who chests it down and sees his shot shut off by Given. He was usually a integrate of yards out, but over the far post and that meant Given was right on tip of him the impulse he chested it down. Mike Dean gives a goalkick rather than a corner, and Ballack is requisitioned for dissent.
69 min Chelsea"s last substitution: Salomon Kalou replaces Ricardo Carvalho. So Ivanovic goes to centre-back, Belletti to right-back and Anelka to centre-forward in a 4-2-4 formation.
70 min Bellamy stings Hilario"s buttered palms from thirty yards. It was a easy save, though.
71 min "It will have been the City fans booing when Sturridge came on after he left on a free carrying demanded £70,000 a week stipulate notwithstanding being a 18-year-old patrol member," says Peter Green, easily editing my 61st-minute entry. "He creates Ashley Cole see humble."
72 min Chelsea are carrying majority of the ball, as they have roughly all game, but City are fortifying with as majority joy as can be approaching whilst safeguarding a lead afar to a side with such a overwhelming home record. You usually know, however, that a encircle is coming.
73 min "The one thing that can be pronounced of both teams (given the circumstances), is that they"re loyal professionals," says Peter Corway. "Something identical happened in my propagandize personification days. Two lads were kissing the same girl, so when the internal compare came up on the Sunday morning, it disintegrated in to a 22-boy brawl."
74 min Ballack controls a bouncing round unequivocally well to set upon it low towards the far dilemma from thirty yards. Given gets down to save and, some-more importantly, hold onto the ball.
75 min: PENALTY TO CITY AND BELLETTI SENT OFF! This is a CO duplicate of the Samuel/Kalou situation in the San Siro, with Belletti and Gareth Barry entrance together in the area; the disproportion is that this time the arbitrate has got it right. Belletti misjudged a header and that authorised Barry to get goalside of him in the area. Belletti had no proceed of removing the round and brought him down; the hold was minimal but sufficient to hit Barry over. A transparent penalty, and a red label for Belletti as well.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-3 Manchester City (Tevez 76 pen) A glorious chastisement from Tevez, smacked low to Hilario"s right and in to the corner. Hilario went the right proceed but he wasn"t removing nearby that. Tevez has been unequivocally shining today.
77 min Bloody hell.
78 min "Who is meant to be in this "John Terry camp" anyway?" says Mark Hooper. "I think it could usually be Mr Chelsea in a gymnasium of mirrors."
79 min Roque Santa Cruz replaces Wayne Bridge, who is applauded off by a small Chelsea fans and booed by a small others. He goes loyal down the tunnel, that is sensible. That"s intelligent from Mancini, as Andy Gray points out, since it cuts out any probable post-game rubbish. Zabaleta goes to left-back and City go to 4-4-2.
80 min "Here be utterly a funny Talksport mash-up of interviews that have JT appear unequivocally honest," says Ian Copestake.
81 min "What"s schadenfreude called when it"s brilliant?" says Alex Netherton.
82 min: BALLACK SENT OFF Chelsea are down to 9 men. Ballack gets a second yellow card, deservedly so for a risible scissor-hack from at the at the at the behind of of of at Tevez. This is bizarre.
83 min A extreme set upon from Drogba, twenty yards out, is well hold by the crouching Given.
84 min I"ve no thought what arrangement Chelsea are personification now: 2-4-2 by the looks of things. But they keep pulling and Given has to have an glorious save to repudiate Anelka, who had detonate by that inside-left channel nonetheless again prior to sharpened opposite thought from the dilemma of the six-yard box with his left foot. Given widespread himself to save with his entirely outstretched left hand.
85 min Drogba"s ideally struck free flog frokm twenty-five yards is loyal at Given. City cannot keep the ball; this is weird.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-4 Manchester City (Bellamy 87) City get a five-on-three renew and fool around it perfectly. Tevez played Wright-Phillips by on thought on the right with Chelsea"s 3 defenders backpedalling desperately. He ran in to the area and selflessly upheld it opposite the face for Bellamy to daub in to an dull net.
88 min If City unequivocally combine there is an additional one to be had here, since Chelsea are still throwing men forward.
90 min Sylvinho, elderly 77, replaces the illusory Carlos Tevez. He has put a smashing change in today. There will be five mins of combined time.
GOAL! Chelsea 2-4 Man City (Lampard 90 pen) Barry hurdles Anelka clumsily in the area, and Lampard drags the chastisement in to the bottom-left dilemma as Given dives the alternative way. Good penalty, generally in perspective of the actuality that he had one saved by Given in the lapse fixture.
Full time: Chelsea 2-4 Manchester City John Terry is angry to the referee. What a specimen. A fanciful win for City in a unequivocally uncanny game; they go to fourth, and in you do so move Manchester United and Arsenal right at the at the at the behind of of of in the pretension race. Thanks for your emails; I"ll leave the last word to Adam:
"I"m kind of new to this soccerball diversion you call "football". But it seems to me identical to something has unsettled the Chelsea team, generally their defence. Maybe something is going on off the field...?
Actually, I"ll leave it to Craig Bellamy in his post-match interview: "I know what JT"s like, and zero surprises me with him. Everyone in football knows what he"s like."
