Terry to lead guard of honour for United

Chelsea captain John Terry is ready to give Manchester United a guard of honour as champions even though he knows it will be hard to stomach.

The Blues were shown similar respect when they won the title and Terry knows it was a difficult thing to do for some of United's players.

After Chelsea's failure to beat Arsenal on Sunday, United will arrive at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night as champions and Terry is ready to return the compliment.

He declared: 'The manager has said already they will get the guard of honour which they did to us at Old Trafford.



Sir Alex Ferguson - the master of the master

When Chelsea won the EPL title in 2004, SAF famously ordered his players to give Chelsea the guard of honours, and I believe this was not done without reason.

I strongly believe it was yet another master stroke from the master to remind his players the "losing & humilating" feelings they were going to get.

I'm sure that had instilled a great sense of determination into the players to try to wrestle the title back to Old Trafford.

By Chelsea returning the "favour" this year, you can assure yet another furiously fight for title between the blues and the devils next season.
