At his best one of the best defenders around in his time.

Indeed, It's a shame he was unused in his later days (Notts County/Arsenal/Newcastle)

I'd warrant a guess those clubs were after a backup defender and he was just hanging on for a payday.

Just under an Hour and a half away from the start of our biggest week of the season. Chelsea away will see if we still have a chance to play Champions League football next year, Whilst we also have our say in the title race come Sunday.

age caught up with him Adz, he wasn't as fast as he once was and the fact he wasnt able to reproduce his previous years of form meant he'd get caught out.

ESPN thinking about biding for more EPL packs.

ESPN may bid for more EPL games In addition to Sky, which currently shows 115 live games per season and is determined to maintain its dominant position.

The Guardian understands that Google and Apple are likely to bid, viewing themselves as platforms rather than rights owners, but that al-Jazeera is still considering its options.

He wasn't too bad for us when he came back! Give good performances.

Hoping for Spurs and Chelsea to drop points tonight. Newcastle can have 4th, would like that, but for now I want any help we can get towards third place.

Well we shall see what happens when the rights come up but one expects Sky will at least win four of the six packages put up for sale.

A football fan has been handed a three-year stadium ban after hurling racist abuse at Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

Stephen Fitzwater was watching Chelsea take on Tottenham at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final on April 15 when he was heard making a racially offensive comment towards the player.

Other supporters took offence and reported him to a steward, and the 55-year-old from Hartland Road in Isleworth, west London, was arrested by Scotland Yard's football intelligence unit.

He admitted racially aggravated abuse at Hendon Magistrates' Court in north-west London on Monday and was given a three-year football banning order preventing him from attending any regulated football match in the UK or abroad, Scotland Yard said.

A Chelsea Football Club spokesman said: "Chelsea Football Club and the overwhelming majority of our fans abhor all forms of discrimination and believe they have no place in our club or our communities
Excellent news and lets hope it sends a stern message out to those who abuse.:tu:

We will be taking the strongest possible action against this individual, who has received a football banning order along with a lifetime ban from Chelsea Football Club. We would like to thank Chelsea fans for reporting this incident and others which occurred during the semi-final, as a result of which a number of persons have been banned for using racial and abusive language."
The same 'strongest possible action' you took against Terry :rolleyes:
