John Terry sends Chelsea X-rated response after James Maddison Tottenham outburst
Chelsea news as John Terry continues to make his point after the Blues left Tottenham with all three points on Monday
Following a back-and-forth online exchange with James Maddison, a Tottenham midfielder, John Terry has refused to back down. Following Chelsea’s 4-1 victory against Arsenal in north London on Monday, the two got into a brief online altercation, and the former Blues and England defender isn’t letting it go just yet.
In the waning seconds of a lengthy and contentious match that featured five goals, five goals that were disallowed, a penalty, two red cards, a manager’s booking, and two more possible dismissals, Mauricio Pochettino’s team punished Maddison and Spurs.
The emphasis was primarily on Chelsea’s recovery after their opponents were reduced to nine players in the second half, as well as the string of late goals that elevated Pochettino’s team’s otherwise mediocre showing. Butnone of that mattered to Terry. In his prime, defeating Tottenham was more of a formality than a triumph.
Terry wrote on Instagram, sharing his happiness at Spurs’ victory this time around—a first for the team in years—and said, “When @chelseafc beats Spurs 4-1 on a school night and the tequila comes out, and you end up dancing and singing on the bar.”
Even though his team was down to 10 men and had also lost Micky van de Ven, Maddison, who had gone off hurt near the end of the first half, couldn’t stop himself from biting back. “Jesus, you have your eyes closed when it was 11 v 11 first 15 JT?,” he said.
Then the former Chelsea captain returned. “[Laughing emoji] Don’t worry mate you will get used to it [blue heart emoji],” he replied. Maddison was done talking after that, concentrating on his recovery and handling the setback ahead of Spurs’ trip to Wolves on Saturday.
- Terry is making the most of his opportunity to savor the victory from earlier in the week as Chelsea has an extra day to get ready for their matchup with Manchester City, who are now atop the league. Now, he has responded on the official Instagram account of the club. Several videos from the crowd and the surrounding area were posted with the phrase, “Tottenham away.” I adore it. Terry said it best: “F****** adore it [three blue, laughing faces emojis]
