This Daily Mail guy has been an obsessive critic of CFC in recent years and I get very nervous when he writes like this
"Just as John Terry sprinted on to the turf at Stamford Bridge as a 78th-minute substitute, the moment of genuine class arrived.
Frank Lampard, serenaded by Chelsea supporters throughout the second half after scoring his 200th goal for the club, turned to Terry and held out the captain’s armband.
It was symbolic, touching the hearts and minds of the 40,000 supporters who have lived the dream with this celebrated Chelsea pair over the years.
Terry, playing in his first Barclays Premier League game at the Bridge since injuring his right knee against Liverpool on November 11, declined. It was Lampard’s day again.
Together they have won the Champions League, three Barclays Premier League titles and four FA Cups. They know what it means to win, often dragging this team over the line in times of adversity.
Yesterday they were reunited on the edge of the centre circle, reaching out to each other even though their careers are filled with uncertainty."

Even die hard slaters like Ashton had to swallow his own bile in the face of such class, he goes on to admit.
How many of us blues felt our eyes salting witnessing the moment of pure serendipity ....

Ashton has been sucking up to some of the most staunch Anti Rafa brigade on twitter the last few months, I would never trust a journalist, they butter you up then knife you in the back.
