In his desperate and frankly depressing bid to stay relevant John Terry took to TikTok to throw stones in his glass house in criticism of Arsenal. But our concern is over what\u2019s to come for a man short of managerial and punditry work who\u2019s voiced his right-wing sympathies and has found his audience on social media.<\/p>\n
Wayne Rooney was the first to don his bobby helmet after the Arsenal players were seen celebrating on the pitch in front of their jubilant fans at the Emirates on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Bukayo Saka\u2019s goal was enough to secure a 2-1 aggregate win over Atletico Madrid and book their place in the Champions League final for just the second time in their history, 20 year on from their last appearance in Europe\u2019s showpiece game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey haven\u2019t won it yet,\u201d Rooney said on Prime Video<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cI think the celebrations are a little bit too heavy. Celebrate when you win\u2026but no, they deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n Paris Saint-Germain did the celebration police keeping a particularly keen eye on the North London borough no favours by enjoying their semi-final win over Bayern Munich just as enthusiastically as the Gunners despite winning the gong last season.<\/p>\n But that didn\u2019t stop perhaps the most infamous overcelebrater in history from condemning the actions of Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal players.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been looking forward to this game all week, especially after the poor game of football last night (between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid),\u201d Terry told his followers while watching PSG\u2019s second-leg victory over Bayern.<\/p>\n \u201cBut fair play to Arsenal on making the Champions League final.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a game, what a start to the game this was tonight. How PSG have still got 11 men on the pitch I do not know.<\/p>\n \u201cHow PSG have not given away a penalty I do not know. It stinks of Chelseaversus Barcelona 2009\/10 at Stamford Bridge where we should have had four or five penalties at least, but great game of football.<\/p>\n \u201cBy the way, Arsenal way over-celebrated. Far too much for me.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, you\u2019re excited because you make the Champions League final, but over-celebrated a little bit too much for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Says a man who peeled off his tracksuit at the end of the Champions League final victory he played no part in for Chelsea in 2012 to reveal a full kit, complete with shin pads.<\/p>\n Unable to convince Chelsea to hand him the various interim jobs<\/strong> they\u2019ve had during the cursed BlueCo reign and short on television punditry work, Terry has taken to making these no holds barred TikToks, typically with his many trophies and medals forming the backdrop.<\/p>\n Discussion of Chelsea\u2019s shortcomings revolve mainly around the lack of leadership he once provided and his takes on other games chiefly involve digs at rival teams to garner the support of fans who bleed enough blue to either look past his extracurricular activities<\/strong> or agree with them. He now has over 500k followers.<\/p>\n The former Chelsea captain made headlines last week for replying \u201c100% yes\u201d when Rupert Lowe of Restore Britain \u2013 perhaps the most right-wing politician in living memory \u2013 called for \u201cforeigners\u201d to be banned from claiming benefits and the deportation of \u201cmigrants who are incapable of financially supporting themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the first time Terry nailed his colours to Lowe\u2019s mast. A month ago, Lowe demanded a ban on the burqa and made a plea to \u201cget our capital city back\u201d. Terry responded with applause emojis.<\/p>\n And yet he\u2019s confused as to why Chelsea have shut the managerial saloon door at Stamford Bridge firmly in his face?<\/p>\n Advising Arsenal fans not to celebrate is harmless enough, if comically hypocritical. But how long will it take these TikTok videos to take on a more political bent as the tiny dopamine hits that come through likes, comments and followers embolden the captain, leader, far-right sympathiser to speak his British truth to a captive and what we would suggest is a largely agreeable audience?<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
