Terry - hit back at Bellamy
John Terry has hit back at Craig Bellamy over a
television jibe about his conduct.
Although Terry has remained silent about the alleged affair with
Wayne Bridge's former girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel, which cost him
the England captaincy and a long-time friendship, he felt Bellamy's
attack after Chelsea's 4-2 defeat to Manchester City was a step too
far.
Given his own chequered past, Bellamy knew he was leaving
himself open to a counter punch when he claimed: "Everybody in
football knows what the guy is like. But that is off the
field."
And while Terry is clearly not in the mood for an in-depth
discussion about their respective personal lives, he felt Bellamy's
snide comment could not go unchallenged.
"People in glass houses should not throw stones," said the
Chelsea captain.
Given the bad blood that so obviously now exists between Terry
and certain members of the City squad, it is probably just as well
Roberto Mancini's men did not book a return visit to Stamford
Bridge in the FA Cup next week.
That was the prize on offer in their replay with Stoke last
Wednesday but it is now the Potteries outfit, minus Ryan Shawcross,
who will slug it out for a place in the semi-finals.
