Did John Terry spit at Carlos Tevez?

May 22, 2008

I would like to think John Terry, former England captain, had the decency to not spit at a fellow player but if you look at the footage, it certainly looks like he might have done. Now, you cannot see the “spit” as such, but you can clearly see Terry motion towards Tevez followed by Tevez rubbing his neck as if he had been spat at.

Terry firmly denies spitting but does admit to getting involved in the handbags that surrounded Didier Drogba’s red card. Terry said of the incident, “There was some pushing and shoving, I admit that, but no spitting, that is not my style. No way would I spit at another player.”

The video is far from conclusive, but have a look and make up your own mind. It’s probably best you watch this with your speakers turned off!

Manchester United, Kings of Europe

May 21, 2008

Manchester United are the kings of europe after a thrilling penalty shootout which saw Terry and Anelka miss from the spot to give the title to United.

Manchester United started the match very strong and dominated everything for the first half an hour or so. Ronaldo put the ball past Cech to put United in the driving before a lucky break away gave Chelsea a way back into the game. The goal sparked something in the Chelsea camp and they came back strong. United were on the back foot for much of the game after that but still managed to hang on and fully deserved to be crown Champions of Europe.

Scholes sinks Barcelona, Moscow here we come!

April 30, 2008

For the second time in his career Scholes scores the goal that puts United through to the Champions League final. A quallity strike!
