O’Neill refutes JT’s ‘fading’ Villa taunt

MARTIN O’NEILL has dismissed claims from Chelsea skipper John Terry that Aston Villa fade in matches and insists his side are “one of the fittest” in the Premier League.

Terry made his comments after Chelsea thrashed Villa 7-1 last weekend at Stamford Bridge, their first league defeat in 2010.

The England central defender believes Villa, who visit Bolton today, tire after 50-60 minutes into games.
