You've really got to hand it to Bridge... a year on and Terry's left hanging again

A season on from the non-handshake between Wayne Bridge and John Terry following allegations of a relationship between the Chelsea captain and Vanessa Perroncel, Bridge's former girlfriend, the moments before yesterday's game offered a chance for a rematch - and a change oftactics from Bridge. Last year, when playing for Manchester City, Bridge moved to offer a hand, only to pull it back at the last moment. This time, with him at West Ham, he suddenly took a deep interest inshaking the hand of a mascot being taken down the line of players by Terry. By the time an enthusiastic handshake had been completed with a Chelsea-shirted figure of about four feet tall, a rather larger one - inthe shape of Terry - had once more been left with his hand hanging in the air by Bridge, as the home crowd's jeers almost matched that of the cheers from West Ham's travelling supporters.
