As if it couldn’t get worse…

25 05 2008

As if him spitting on Tevez, breathing down the ref’s neck, being a racist, being himself, and missing a penalty weren’t bad enough, John Terry just took it another step further by issuing this “apology” letter:

The Chelsea captain wrote:

‘To all the Chelsea fans, all my team-mates, the manager and staff at the club.

I am so sorry for missing the penalty and denying you the fans, my team-mates, family and friends the chance to become European champions.

Many people have told me I don’t need to say that but I feel I need to, that’s just me. I have relived that moment every minute since it happened. I have only slept a few hours and wake up every time hoping it’s all been a bad dream.

I have had some amazing support from fans, current and ex-players, family and friends and I need to thank everyone for that. But I am a big man and I take responsibility for us not winning.

I am and ALWAYS will be Chelsea through and through. I will give my all on and off the pitch to win this trophy as a player and one day as a manager. And I am sure we will win it.

That night in Moscow will haunt me forever and I feel I have let everybody down and this hurts me more than anything. I am not ashamed about crying. This is a trophy I have tried so hard year after year to win and it was just an uncontrollable reaction, I wear my heart on my sleeve, everybody knows that.

The road to Rome starts here, we have to try and turn this experience to our advantage. I am very proud of how far we have come this season with everything that has gone on.

Thank you for all your support for the team this season.’

Well, I have never seen that many “I”s in an apology letter. Love the self-indulgence. And who on earth issues a letter after getting paid 130k pounds per week only to win nothing? This is quite simply uncalled for.





I now believe in Karma

I didn’t before, but after the Champions League final, I believe in it now. Be good, kids, ’cause you’ll never know when Karma comes back biting you in the arse.

Here’s a brilliant blog explaining exactly what I am talking about:
Karma is a funny thing
