Yet ANOTHER apology from the media: John Terry


By dixon9

What again? Yet ANOTHER apology from the Mirror to a Chelsea player or Abramovich? Yes indeed! The Mirror ran a story recently stating that Guus Hiddink had partly blamed John Terry for Ashley Cole’s recent arrest for drunken behaviour – they have now printed the following apology:

“Mirror.co.uk would like to apologise to John Terry for wrongly suggesting in a headline that Guus Hiddink had blamed him for Chelsea team-mate Ashley Cole's arrest.”

Some sections of the media got so hysterical that they practically demanded Terry have the England captaincy removed!

Terry - Jan 09

You have to laugh at the double standards and hypocrisy from the media on certain clubs – especially Chelsea.  Gerrard was recently involved in an alleged attack on a barman yet the slant from the media was sympathy – Terry gets accused of making remarks on 9/11 and he gets banned from playing for England!

I’ve lost count of the amount of apologies The Mirror and The Times have issued so far – two is it to Terry?  A couple to Shevchenko?  One from each to Abramovich?

This won’t be the last apology – the press have carte blanche to attack, invent and say what they like. 

Make no mistake – there is a definite agenda against us and until the media are more vigorously regulated it’s not going to stop.

You've just summed up the thoughts of every football fan in the country - regardless of who they support. Check out the Arsenal board for loads of the stuff.

Except that we have tangible proof.

How many apologies have Arsenal had in the press?

We´ve got 6-7! In just over 2 years!

I´d like to see you try and find ONE club that matches that.
