Terry: Blues squad need to "man up"
John Terry is struggling to comprehend the prospect of Chelsea not being in next season's Champions League and admits he and his team-mates need to "man up" to get there.
The Blues are in real danger of finishing outside the Barclays Premier League top four, while recent form suggests they are not equipped to win the European Cup.
That would herald their worst season since Roman Abramovich took over the club and captain Terry revealed he is losing sleep over the prospect of Tottenham and Manchester City finishing above his side.
He said: "That's obviously the worst thing to think about, looking at Spurs and City. They're playing well and picking up points at a crucial time.
"That would be disastrous for the football club if we don't qualify for the Champions League. It's even hard to get my head around it now. That's what we've still got at the football club, hunger and desire.
"We missed out on the Premier League for three years when Man United won it, and it hurt. That's what I lose sleep over, watching other teams lift trophies, because I want to be the one lifting trophies for this football club."
