John Terry & Wayne Bridge finally met in the Premier League clash between Chelsea & Manchester City, but the focus was not so much on footie, but about whether Wayne Bridge would shake John Terry’s hand after the furore involving Vanessa Perroncel, and early reports were that Terry would offer his hand, but Bridge would not be dirtying his hands.

Bridge pointedly refusing to shake Terry’s hand before the match but definitely enjoyed his afternoon as Manchester City shocked the Premier League leaders with a 4-2 win.

He did get booed by the Chelsea fans early on, and John Terry got a loud cheer, which is without a doubt disappointing – are Chelsea fans condoning what Terry had done? The boos subsequently eased off through the match and to their credit, some Chelsea fans did give Bridge an ovation when he was substituted late on.

Carlos Tevez, obviously on Team Bridge’s side (of which he displayed a t-shirt after scoring a goal recently) took the opportunity to square up to Terry, clearly more pissed off more with Terry’s off-field antics than his on-field pushing. Craig Bellamy was also on Bridge’s side, just notice how he clearly shows a disgusted look as he shakes Terry’s hand. He was also itching to get onto Terry the moment Tevez squared up to Terry.

Bellamy told Sky Sports after the match: “You guys (the media) make a lot more of it you know.”

“I know what JT is like and nothing surprises me about it, so I’m not going to comment on that. I think everybody in football knows what the guy is like, but that’s off the field.”

No milkshakes for anyone after the match then.
