John Terry – ‘Captain, Leader, Legend’ – a description regally displayed by the home support and royally piss-taken by the opposition. Not that the Stamford Bridge faithful could care less, after all, he’s Mr Chelsea isn’t he? The fact he lives and breathes the club makes him untouchable, right?

I’ve refused to buy newspapers for probably about 15 years or more now, I won’t have them in my house and every time I read shite like I came across in yesterday’s Sun, it just strengthens my resolve.  Some bollocks headline about AVB ‘backing’ Poyet’s opinions on racism drew me in – the intention of [...]
