Ancelotti stands by his man

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has vowed to stand by the club’s under-fire captain John Terry. This comes after Terry was accused of helping a ticket tout earn money from unofficial tours of Chelsea's training ground. "I think the club, me, the players, have a lot of confidence in John Terry,” said the Italian on Monday. "I am not upset and neither is JT. He was very calm before the game (against West Ham). No problem. He told me he has done nothing wrong and I accept that." Ancelotti also sprang to the defence of his team after the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday meant they have now only won once in four games. "Today is not a big problem. We have one point more at the top and we can have a good Christmas."
