Manchester City's Nigel de Jong gets stuck into John Terry row
The determination of Manchester City players to show a defiant face to John Terry at Stamford Bridge on Saturday had been planned for some weeks, according to midfielder Nigel de Jong. [LNB]'The Terry affair had a massive impact on our squad,' said De Jong, expressing his support for Wayne Bridge, whose former fiancee conducted an affair with Terry. [LNB]'You can bet we were up for the Chelsea game. Believe me, we are doing it for Wayne.

We all supported Wayne,of course, and said to him: "Don't say a thing about it. We'll dealwith this". [LNB]'For the match against Portsmouth we all wrote "Team Bridge" on ourT-shirts underneath. I did not have to think twice about that. That's athing you do for your team-mate.' [LNB]But De Jong, speaking to Dutch magazine Sportweek, didunintentionally reveal the curiously warped moral code by which someplayers operate. [LNB]'You don't touch the wife of a team-mate,' he said. 'That really isa code in football. Doing something with the wife of a player fromanother club is something different, but what Terry did is not done.They used to share the same dressing room and they were mates.'[LNB]And as a parting shot, De Jong said: 'Wayne does not have to worryas much any more about the papers. They have a new victim with AshleyCole.'[LNB] Child's play for Carlos Tevez as he puts personal nightmare behind him in Manchester City winTerry blasted by Bellamy as Man City firebrand says: 'I know what JT is like'Chelsea 2 Manchester City 4: John Terry shunned by Wayne Bridge as Carlos Tevez and Craig Bellamy humble nine menMANCHESTER CITY FC
