Cheat Terry at it again

By CLODAGH HARTLEY
and TONY BONNICI

RANDY England ace John Terry romped in his Bentley with a blonde teenager just hours after they met.

The Chelsea captain let 17-year-old Jenny Barker perform a sex act in a car park.

The England defender — a Champions League bonker — scored with sexy fan Jenny just hours after she asked for his autograph in a car park.

Terry, who complimented the beauty on her skimpy thong, went on to send her explicit text messages begging for X-rated snaps and suggesting a threesome with a brunette pal.

He wrote: “I want to **** both of you . . . Im gonna give you both the best ******* ever.”

And later that day Jenny was pleasuring the sex-mad star in his flashy sports car.

Terry, 25, romped with the 17-year-old just weeks after promising long-suffering fiancée Toni Poole he would never play away again after a string of previous slips.

He first met 30D Jenny as he parked his Bentley Continental in Esher, Surrey, on his way to a bank earlier this week.

Jenny, who was with two friends, said: “He saw us in our car smiling so we got out and asked him for his autograph.

“He told us that if we gave him our addresses he would send us photos of himself.

“He said, ‘Come here gorgeous’ and put his arm round me as my friend took a photo. Then he told us he would send us signed photos and invitations to the Chelsea Christmas party.

“Next he put his number in my phone. As he walked off he smiled and said, ‘Text me’. So I did it immediately to say hello.

“When I got home I got a text from him saying, ‘Hello sexy, hopefully meeting you and the girls if you fancy it? I busy until about 10 but will be free after that. What you doing sexy. Loved your thong by the way’.

“I replied saying I was happy to meet and asked who he was coming with as I was intending to come with my friends.

“He said it might be too short notice to bring someone else and asked, ‘Will I do’? He added, ‘I’m sure the 4 of us can think of something to do? ha ha xxx’.

“Then he rang me and said, ‘Do you want to meet up for a little kiss before we meet later’?

“I said yes and he told me to come back to the car park.”

Jenny and her pals then drove to the car park, where Terry — who yesterday flew to Geneva for England’s friendly against Argentina — met her again.

Jenny said: “I got into his car and he said he liked my thong.

“He asked to see it properly, I was a bit shy and said ‘No’, and he said, ‘Go on, just give me a look’. So I did.

“He smiled and put on sexy Luther Vandross music from a selection on a huge screen in the car. Then he put my hand on his crotch. We were kissing and cuddling and he put my hand down his tracksuit bottoms and under his boxer shorts. One thing led to another but we did not have sex. I didn’t want to give in to him like I can imagine every other girl does.

“When we finished I asked him, ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’ He looked at me with big puppy dog eyes and said, ‘Yeah I do’. I asked, ‘Is she at home?’ He said, ‘Yeah’.”

Jenny said Terry, who scores a lot for a defender, then began flirting with her unnamed brunette friend. Next day, she said, the texts resumed.

Jenny, from Esher, said: “He wrote, ‘Oh my God I want to **** both of you, I want to watch you ******* each other’s ******* and ******** on my *** ****, then ******* me. I want one of you ****** me and the other ******* ** my ****. I’m gonna give you both the best ******* ever. I want you right now, send me a naughty picture’. He made it clear he wanted me and my dark-haired friend. I said about the picture, ‘Don’t you want to see the real thing’? That’s the last contact we had.”

Jenny’s friend Jess Herbert, 17, confirmed: “Jenny was in Terry’s car for quite a while talking and obviously getting close. We drove off and when we returned Jenny looked flushed. He was obviously keen on her.”

In his seven years with beautician Toni, 24, Terry has strayed EIGHT times, but has always been forgiven.

In September he said: “I really regret what I’ve done to Toni. I’m not going to cheat on her ever again and want to marry her more than anything in the world.”

A spokesman for Terry refused to comment last night

Paris makes a play for Lampard




Hollywood glamourpuss Paris Hilton appears to have taken a shine to British footie star Frank Lampard.

The blonde bombshell made no secret of the fact she thought the Chelsea player was hot stuff when approaching him at many of the Brits after show parties.

Frank, who is engaged to long term partner Elen Rives, was a true gentleman and chatted away to the heiress for a few minutes, but then gracefully parted and left for another party.

Paris obviously wasn't going to let the object of her affections get away that easily, soon after she too left the glitzy bash to do the rounds of the other parties.

After boogying away with Prince then sampling the Cristal champagne at Kayne West's party, the millionairess popped into the EMI knees up at the swanky Baglionio hotel where she bumped into the England midfielder for a second time.

According to reports, Paris quickly produced her diamond encrusted Blackberry then announced she would be back soon and that he should wait for her.

Frank obviously couldn't take much more admiration from the Simple Life star, sources say the second she left he made a quick dash for the front door and legged it before the socialite could collar him again!!

I take my hat off to Lampard for being able to resist.

I think there's a reason why they are financial, not football, analysts.

A Moral Stain on Football

An article I read in the Guardian recently on the Abramovich revolution at Chelsea and how that came about. Very interesting ..

This weekend sees what is likely to be the climax of the domestic football season, as Chelsea, the wealthiest club in Britain, take on Manchester United, the biggest, and almost certainly clinch their second successive league title.

Nothing better encapsulates this money-dominated football era: the combined salaries of the two squads would probably be enough to finance the average eastern European country. But the crucial difference between the two clubs has been lost because, in their routes to wealth, United and Chelsea are at opposite ends of the morality spectrum.

United have earned the right to be the highest spenders. They became the nation's best-supported club because their dramatic history captured the public imagination: a manager who moulded a title-winning team, the "Busby Babes", but lost most of them in a tragic plane crash, then built another team, which within 10 years became the first English club to win the European Cup.

United's support swelled, so when money did enter the game they could make the most of this support in gate receipts, merchandising and TV money.
Chelsea had none of this, but had just qualified for Europe's Champions League when Russian oil company Sibneft paid out billions of pounds in dividends to its major shareholders, one of whom was Roman Abramovich. It was relatively easy then for a tiny group of well-connected businessmen to exploit their links with the post-communist regime of Boris Yeltsin, and persuade ordinary Russian workers into giving up their individual share vouchers, unaware of their real value.

The obscenity of this is borne out by figures out last week which show that the 100 richest Russians are worth more than a quarter of Russia's GDP. There is vast inequality in Britain, but Russia is another universe: 18% of its people live below the poverty line; the average wage is the equivalent of £2,000. Yet last year Abramovich sold off his last Russian business interest for £7bn, bringing his total wealth, as estimated in this week's Sunday Times Rich List, to £10.8bn.
But what can someone with such wealth spend it on? In 2003 he was flying by helicopter over London when he saw a football ground. Within a couple of months he owned Chelsea. In another few weeks he'd spent £100m on players. In a year, having failed to win a trophy, he'd sacked the manager and brought in the man who'd just won the European Cup, Jose Mourinho, himself lured by the £4m salary. Mourinho spent £100m more on players and went on to win the title for Chelsea a year later - their first in 50 years, and only their second ever.

Of course, wealthy benefactors have often backed clubs - Chelsea had Matthew Harding in the 1990s. But he was a fan of the club and wanted to realise his dream. Abramovich had no previous connection with either England or Chelsea. And no one has had such a distorting effect on the game.

When Arsenal offered to double the wages of their full-back Ashley Cole, Chelsea said they'd triple them - to £80,000 per week. What was already an obscene amount became pornographic. Clubs across the league are having to up their players' wages. So the cash spent by ordinary fans is being eaten up by fewer and fewer super-wealthy people.

At Chelsea they all know where the money has come from. Football agents, of course, don't give a damn about its source. And football pundits and commentators talk about the quality of the players, or the tactics, or the managers' quotes, turning a blind eye towards the mass poverty left behind.

The fact is, Chelsea now stands for nothing but greed; the club has become a moral stain on the face of the sport. The more these injustices are tolerated, the more we are all corrupted.

Wenger the north london derby hero

http://217.204.41.132/cgi/NGoto/2/139299194?1244

Click on the title above or copy and paste the URL above to see a .gif of Arsene Wenger heat butting Martin Jol at the sidelines...

Tottenham refused to put the ball out of play so that the injured Arsenal players can receive treatment. Eboueu (right back) was lying down injured at the centre of the field...Carrick then played the ball to Davids on the right where it was vacant before squaring it up to Robbie Keane to score.

Just few days ago when Villareal players were diving and pretending to be injured, Arsenal players kicked the ball out of play when they were in a good attacking position.

Back in 1999, Arsenal vs Sheffield Utd in a FA Cup tie...Ray Parlour (another Arsenal unsung hero alongside Gilles Grimandi) threw the ball back in to the opposition as a gesture of sportsmanship but Kanu didn't know what happened so he took the ball off the opposition and square the ball to Overmars to score.

"Kanu is feeling very down. He's very sad. And we all have the feeling we didn't win the game like we wanted to. It was an accident," Wenger added.

"Ray Parlour wanted to throw the ball back to Sheffield United but Kanu didn't know why. He didn't know that the goalkeeper had deliberately kicked the ball out of play so that a teammate could have an injury treated."

Therefore, Wenger offered a replay. Bruce (Sheffield Utd's manager) said of Wenger, "That's very, very good of him."

But that was back then before Tottenham killed fair play in English football

Winning Eleven 10 trailer

For all us Winning Eleven fanatics, here is a little teaser before it is released on the 28th April in Japan.

Rooney playing keeper

This is a clip of Rooney playing goalie during training, not during an important match like Kolo Toure. I think this clip is hilarious. Guess who scored against Rooney when he was goalkeeping. Take a wild guess? OK let me drop you a hint. He's American. Hahahaha. Enjoy!

Ronaldinho?Shevchenko?Henry?Riquelme?

It is almost the end of the season and it comes down to Barcelona, AC Milan, Arsenal or Villarreal. Barcelona and AC Milan were firm favourites to lift the trophy from the start. However, with Arsenal in devastating form, they are looking better each game. Villarreal, they have been the fairytale story of the tournament so far. A town with only a population of 47,000 and one hotel, are so close to having a team in the final.


Theirry Henry, arguably the best striker on the planet right now. A legend in the making who has won everything except for the coveted Champions League. Could this finally be his year? Having drawn a favourable opposition in Villarreal compared to the powerhouses of Barcelona and AC Milan, the footballing Gods might finally be smiling on Henry and company. Henry, a man with lightning speed, superb finishing and a natural leader, has been a subject of transfer speculation all season but he has done well to put it aside by leading his young team this far in the competition. His Arsenal teammates are also peaking at the right time of the season. The defence of Arsenal has been performing solidly despite their relative inexperience, with Lehmann and Toure in command. In midfield, the strings are being pulled by Gilberto, Fabregas, Hleb with the width being provided by Reyes, Ljunberg/Pires and Eboue and Henry acting as the lone striker.


AC Milan, a team who are consistently in the latter stages of the Champions League. A team that has both individually brilliant players and experience campaigners. Despite that, the Milan team seem to struggle whenever teams start to attack them continuously. Who could forget the night Milan surrended their 3-0 lead to Liverpool. Milan did not learn their lesson in the semis where they succumbed to PSV's avalanche of long balls in the box directing at Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, needing a late goal by Tomasson to spare their blushes. Going further back, in 2003-2004, after having led 4-1 from the first leg against Deportivo, they blew that lead by losing the second leg 4-0. This time it was Lyon who was asking questions of the shaky Milan defence. Milan managed to sneak through via late goals from Inzaghi and Shevchenko. However, can their defense withstand the attacking excellence of Barcelona? There are serious doubts but with the likes of Shevchenko and Kaka, there will always be a force to reckon with.


It still remains a mystery why a team with such a rich history and having some of the best players throughout football history like Cryuff, Romario, Ronaldo, Stoichkov, Figo has only ever won the Champions League once. Could they finally be able to repeat their sole success in 1991-1992? It certainly looks that way. Base on current form, it's either them or Arsenal. What a match it would be, as both team plays excellent flowing football. However, they first have to deal with AC Milan. As expected most of Barcelona's plays revolves around the genius mind of Ronaldinho and the darting runs and finishing of Eto'o. Having said that, Barcelona are far from a two man team, with Deco and Van Bommel orchestrating the midfield and the brilliant Messi on the wing giving the opposition defence alot to worry. Their only possible weak point is when the two full backs, Van Bronckhorst and Belleti go up to support the attack, leaving the defence susceptible to counter attacks.


Surprise package of the campaign! Who would have thought we would see them here, in the semis. Without a doubt it has been the brilliance of the ex-Barcelona man, Riquelme, that has carried the team this far. Having got to the knockout phase at the expense of English giants, Manchester United, they were fortunate to draw the weakest team in the knockout phase, Rangers. Many would have thought their journey in the campaign would have come to an end when they faced Inter and losing the first leg further decrease their chances. However, they preserved and got through on away goals. Alot of hype was placed on Riquelme's shoulders when he was playing in Argentina. When he was transferred to Barcelona, the pressure was increased ten folds. Not only was he labelled "the next best thing", he was also expected to replace a Barcelona legend in Rivaldo. Perhaps the pressure from the fans and media got to him. After a season, he was loaned out and subsequently transferred permanently to Villarreal. This enabled him to just concentrate on his football, away from the media and the pressure. Forlan's career was also rejuvenated by Villarreal. Having been a laughing stock in England, he came to Spain with much to prove. He did so in style by winning the European Golden Boot that very season. Will Villarreal be able to get past an Arsenal team who is currently destroying every team in its way? It seems unlikely but perhaps this fairytale still has a few twists for football fans.

Bridge over troubled water ?

Many newspapers lately have been suggesting that things may not be going as smoothly as Chelsea would have wanted.
First things first, Chelsea will win the English Premier League this year. United has done a great job with its recent run of many, many consecutive victories, but somehow I feel that United has run out of games to catch up.
Personally I cannot see Chelsea losing 3 games out of the next 6 to hand the title to United. It will be close but in the end, Chelsea's run in the beginning of the season and over Christmas has won them the title.

Still there are things going on at the Bridge now that could indicate a change next season at Chelsea FC.

7 Aspects as to where Chelsea are losing it..

Style of play
Even at their best, they are effective rather than exciting.Built on a sound defence with a ball-winner like Makelele and wingers like Duff and Robben, the Blues are at their best counter-attacking but without a natural playmaker, they have found even weak teams difficult to break down.

Style of business
Chelsea fiercely deny they are buying success and rightly point to Cech, Cole and Robben being bargain buys. But paying way over the top for Essien, Wright-Phillips and Drogba undermines their argument and their purchasing power has drastically altered the global transfer market. In other areas, their ticket pricing, virtual kidnapping of young players (John Mikel Obi) and fierce defence of the indefensible - such as the tapping up Ashley Cole saga and ending Anders Frisk career - are not exactly winning many friends in football.

Clash of egos
There are rumours of a major clash opf personalities between Mourinho, Peter Kenyon and Frnak Arnesen. They have disagreed on what direction the club should go and on which players should be signed. The lastes being Beckham - Kenyon would like him signed for the commercial reason whereas Mourinho doesn't for very obvious footballing reasons.

Lack of lustre
Chelsea's best players are workhorses - Terry, Lampard, Makelele and while Cole, Robben and Duff offer something different, they often flatter to deceive. For one reason or another, the A-list stars of world football are refusing Roman's roubles (Henry, Sheva, Trezeguet, Eto'o, Ronaldinho) - and hence there is a visible lack of stardust on Stamford Bridge.

Sore losers
Chelsea NEVER loses a game. There is always a reason why they did not win and seldom does Chelsea end a match without stirring any controversy these days - even when they win. The sight of Mourinho ranting and raving about match official, managers, opponents is getting tiresome - hardly the stuff to win over the neutrals. You never beat Chelsea it seems. You may score more goals but there is always an issue - usually a contentious decision. But no Jose, there is no conspiracy against you..

Hitmen missing
Man Utd have Rooney and van Nistelrooy, Barca have Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi, Juve have Zlatan and Trezeguet, Milan - Sheva and Gillardino even ARSEnal have Henry and Cygan.
Chelsea have Drogba and Crespo who rarely play together and when they are desperate Robert Huth (@#$%?) plays upfront. They are simply not good or committed enough to be the main hitman. It really is a surprising area to neglect when you have all that $$$.

Cunning or conning
The recent diving allegations against Didier and the fact he admitted it on national TV are relatively new. His handball against Man City and celebrating by showing his arm to the Man City supporters after scoring might not be the most ethical thing to do. Robben with his 'severe facial fracture and injury' after being touched by Liverpool keeper Reina has undermined Chelsea's morality.
However, anyone who remember Mourinho's Porto side will know how 'cunning' they were as they dived their ways to wins over Celtic and Manchester United. And let's not forget Ricardo Carvalho's wrestling-like move on Barca keeper Victor Valdes to ensure John Terry would score the winner in last years UEFA Champion's League 2nd Round.
This season Robben and Drogba have turned cunning into conning.

Most hated man in the Barclaycards English Premier League

A recent poll conducted in a local newspaper asking its fellow readers to vote via a phone poll or Sms on which player they hate most in the EPL revealed quite surprising results. (well not really..)

1. Lee Bowyer (which should come as no surprise whatsoever)
2. Didier Drogba (cheating, diving, lying bastard)
3. Arjen Robben (cheating, diving, lying bastard II)
4. Robbie Savage (which should come as a worry to both Drogba and Robben as to how they manage to pip him to 2nd and 3rd place respectively..)

Many articles have sprung up in the local and international press recently about Chelsea and how they are the new club in which everyone, including Man City fans love to hate.
They represent everything football fans hate - unfettered capitalism, cheating, boring football and contempt for fans.

Reading an article in the Guardian recently I came across a Football Column written by a Man City fan. He finds himself hating the Chelsea "Revolution" and says:
My football fantasy goes like this: Liverpool beat Chelsea in the FA Cup, Chelsea panic in the league, lose to Bolton, lose to United, lose the last game of the season at Newcastle to a John Terry own-goal after Didier Drogba, Damien Duff and Arjen Robben are sent off for fighting each other. Roman Abramovich sacks Mourinho, Chelsea fail to win a trophy under Guus Hiddink, Abramovich walks out to make Dynamo Moscow the richest club in the world, Chelsea are relegated, go bankrupt..
