There's a video here:

Spit or snot or not? You decide.

Looks pretty inconclusive to me but I'd like to think he did so that people's opinions of him drop.

[Jah Lush]

I think most people have said what I wanted to say on here so I won't bother to add my tuppance worth. Well done Man Utd though. A very entertaining game and so glad it wasn't a bore like the FA Cup final of last year.

[atila the gooner]

If Terry did spit, and I don't know for sure, then he certainly doesn't deserve the England armband. I've never been a fan of his or Ferdindand, but spitting is the lowest of the low. On the final itself, that's the second time Man Ure have got lucky in CMPL final, the first was against Bayern and again last night. But I'm glad Cashley Hole was on the losing side, again. The judas money grabbing scroat deserves it.

[Jah Lush]

If only Cashley Hole had missed that penalty though. Would have made my night. And you're right spitting IS the lowest of the low.

[Keef]

It was funny when he walked up to take his penalty, even the Chelsea fans in the put were booing him!

Did you see the tackle by one of Cashleys team mates on him during training. Classic! Do you think someone from The Arsenal slipped somebody a few quid to break his ankle? :)

[ratty]

Twas a fine tackle - pity he did not knack the little coont for good!

If JT spat then he should say goodbye to the England Shirt - not just the armband!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I too think spitting is rather gross, but when highly paid managers sit there chewing gum with their mouths open, it is hardly suprising.

[Annasfield]

He spat - Tevez grabbed his neck just after it hit him. Fairly conclusive to me. Tosser.

[Ladygooner]

Changing the subject slightly - does anyone know what is up with Tevez's neck? He seems to have lots of scars on it - was he sent through the windscreen in a car crash?

[Keef]

As is Tevez to be fair.

I remember John Terry talking about the time he was arested for the fight at the night club. He said something like My dad always told me to stand my ground and if someone hits you, you hit them back. If it happened again today I'd do the same thing...

Great role model.

[mockney piers]

Yep, it's a scar from when he was severely scalded, sround 12ish? I think.

He said it made him as a man and meant he could let go of any sort of vanity (not that he's a looker to start with).

But seems to be borne out by his character, genuine, polite, unselfish, nay generous as a chap and a footballer.

What he's doing at man utd is anyone's guess?!?!

[Sandperson]

He was a tiddler not 12. From Wikipedia:

T?vez has a distinctive burn mark from his right ear, down his neck to his chest. This occurred when he was ten months old while he was exploring his mother?s kitchen floor and he inadvertently pulled a kettle of boiling water over himself. This caused third-degree burns to the right side of his face, neck and chest and left him in intensive care for almost two months. Today, the scars are a highly visible feature of T?vez, who did not get them fixed because he was playing in a junior football team. He refused an offer from his then club, Boca Juniors, to have them cosmetically improved, saying that the scars were a part of who he was in the past and who he is today.

[Ladygooner]

Thanks for the info guys!

[*Bob*]

Wikipedia doesn't say anything about him not having a neck, does it?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Think you'll find that's Gladstone Small, *Bob*.

[mockney piers]

or Sandi Toksvig.

Cheers for the clarification sandperson, mine was from a half remembered interview after he joined west ham.

[spadetownboy]

or oddjob.

[Annasfield]

BOOO!!!! Do you know where I found this?? Page feckin' 2!!! :'(

I hate the Summer (td). Should be watching MOTD right now. My 37 inch telly was delivered today too. Now where is my road to Istanbul DVD.......?

[Ladygooner]

Well done Hull! Great goal by Dean Windass - but he should get a new hairdresser! Come on Donny Rover today - can't have that Leeds back in the Championship!

[clare]

Come on Leeds !!!

CPT showing Leeds game.

See any Leeds fans there ?????

(Or Doncaster for that matter........)

[Sandperson]

Well done Donny. Really sad about Leeds (not)! ::o

[david_carnell]

Bugger off! Bloody scum fans....they get everywhere!

Fair result tbh. We were dire thru-out.

Roll on 2008/9.

[SimonM]

My (genuine) commiserations to the Leeds supporters on here. I confess I wanted Doncaster to win (I lived near there for 12 years when young) - and on the day they were certainly the better footballing side. Of course the ex-Leeds keeper in the Doncaster side was always going to play a blinder wasn't he? His handling was superb - an old fashioned goalie who catches the ball and has no truck with this modern punching nonsense..

But the 15 point penalty was always going to take its toll. I hope Leeds walk League 1 next season....their fans deserve it after all the recent shocking financial mismanagement. Is Beckford likely to go or stay?

[clare]

........and thank you to the stray Arsenal and Chelsea fans who were very kind to us woebegon Leeds supporters at the end of the game yesterday in the CPT......

........and thank you for the message of support from my Hereford Utd friend, apparently we'll be playing them next season....

ps Doncaster played much better and deserved to win
