Terry insults Arsenal style

John Terry has stoked the fires ahead of Arsenal's difficult trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, claiming that Arsenal have several 'weaknesses' and that despite the Gunners playing excellent football, it is more important to pick up results - like Chelsea did in their championship winning seasons.

"When it doesn't go well," Terry told the Mirror, "sometimes you need a scrappy goal, a deflection from inside the box, everybody hurling themselves at the ball.

"Ourselves and Man United, we've got that, but Arsenal don't seem to get goals like that. It's a weakness in them.

"When Arsenal really turn it on, they're exceptional. When [Emmanuel] Adebayor is flying and [Cesc] Fabregas is bombing on from midfield with those fantastically timed runs of his, they have got goals in them. But there have been plenty of times when they haven't been able to kill games off.

"They've created a hatful of chances and they haven't been able to produce that final punch. OK, so we don't always play pretty football.

"Well, that's because we don't have to. It's all about winning games. That's what it comes down to."
