John Terry
Synopsis:
It's United who have peaked, not Chelsea.
All those who relish the cut and thrust of the Barclays Premier League will be reassured to learn that, even at an event designed to promote better relations between players, managers and referees, John Terry could not resist the opportunity to stick the boot in. The Chelsea captain poured scorn on the repeated claims of Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, that Chelsea have peaked, insisting instead that it is United who will struggle to replicate their stunning performances of last season.
Ferguson has said several times this summer that the Chelsea side are too old, incapable of further improvement and even compared them to the disintegrating Liverpool side of the late Eighties, insinuations that Terry gave short shrift. With a new World Cup-winning manager, top-class signings such as José Bosingwa and Deco and a harmonious dressing-room, Chelsea should be stronger this season, with Terry doubting whether the same can be said of United.
