Well Done Wayne Bridge

Fair play to Wayne Bridge. In yesterday’s Chelsea vs Manchester City game at Stamford Bridge, Wayne Bridge refused to shake former friend and team mate John Terry’s hand – and so he should have.

With every pair of eyes in the stadium and indeed those watching around the world glued to the pre-match handshake, Bridge expectedly declined Terry’s hand and instead greeted him with a cold stare.

If giving up the honour to play for your country in the World Cup finals because of what Terry did, I don’t think anyone actually believed Bridge would bring himself to shake Terry’s hand.

As Craig Bellamy put it in his post match interview with Sky Sports after the game: “I think everyone in football knows what the guy (Terry) is like.” Never a truer word.

Terry is the captain of Chelsea and was the Captain of England. He is a leader on the pitch but an utter idiot off it. The Bridge story isn’t the worst of Terry’s doings but perhaps just the final straw in an overly long list.

To think Terry could have kept the captaincy is ludicrous. Fabio Capello made the right decision in stripping Terry of the captaincy.

One  bright side to this story is that the English media already have an excuse at the ready when they crash out in the group stages in South Africa – John Terry. Or if that fails they could always blame Wayne for pulling out of the squad.

Anyway, enough rambling. Hopefully this is  now the end of this story now and we can go back to concentrating on football or if you like gambling, head over to the BettingExpert.com Casino.
