Don’t worry, the kids are alright

IT’S IRONIC it should be Abou Diaby who ends up injured, after his (unintentional) efforts to put John Terry’s head into row Z.

In truth, it’s a bit of a metaphor for Sunday’s Carling Cup Final, as all the artistry of Arsène Wenger’s Young Guns was rebuffed by the Blues undeniably staunch resilience.

When it was reported that Terry was suffering from a touch of memory loss, if only someone could have slipped a red & white shirt into his bag, he might have come back thinking he was an Arsenal player. Believe me, I love Philippe Senderos. You couldn’t possibly wish for a more committed and wholehearted player. However, sadly, I get the sense that past encounters with Didier Drogba and his inability to prevent the Ivorian getting the better of him, have done irreparable damage to the Swiss centre back’s psyche.
