JT ready to scrap with ‘Blackeye’ Rovers

(27-10-2010) John Terry believes clubs have every right to play the game hard as Chelsea prepare for another bruising battle with Blackburn this weekend. Blackburn, and few other EPL sides, were recently criticised for being overly physical. "What has been said about teams like Blackburn, Wolves and Stoke is very unfair,” said the tough-tackling Chelsea skipper on Tuesday. "We can't expect to go to Ewood Park and pick up three points just because we're Chelsea Football Club. First and foremost we've got to go there and have a fight with them. We have to be prepared for a scrap." Reigning champions Chelsea currently lead the EPL standings by five points.
