John Terry & Peter Cech: The Gruesome Twosome Are Back, Will They Make A Difference For Defending Champions Chelsea?

The name "the gruesome twosome" isn’t in any way meant to demean the two incredible players, it is meant to describe the situation which was brought about by the partnership between the two outstanding players which in all cases frustrated strikers from around the globe.

The two were rock solid when they were together. They defended Chelsea's net from all who wanted to score. They frustrated all well-known and talented goal poachers whether at home or away.

The partnership was however split because of injury and thus the Chelsea goal net was left undefended. One of the many problems that have put Chelsea in their current position is the injury of the pair.

Well they are back and free to wreak havoc in the striker's world. I believe that with the return of the two, Chelsea will start gaining points and will win the title race, that is if Manchester United slip up along the way.

Jose Mourinho is happy with their return, as is the whole team, for Chelsea has been rocked with problems and loopholes in their defense ever since the twosome couldn't play due to injury.

They even lost against Liverpool because of a few mistakes here and there by the make shift center back Micheal Essien who was filling in for the injured skipper, John Terry.

Now that he's back, Essien will go back to playing a role that he is most effective in, attacking. Even the substitute goalkeepers, however hard they tried, couldn’t fill Peter's gloves.

The two are very effective together and as they have proved before, they can thwart all strike plans thought up by any English, European and well, anyone.

They are an example of what can happen when two people, or rather when two highly gifted people work together hand in hand.

I expect changes, although it will take the two some time before they are fully able to function normally. Mostly Peter will need some time to get his bearings right since the knock really affected him.

But as soon as they are back on track, I foresee a lot of changes in the results that Chelsea will start producing. Well all I can see to all the strikers who come up against the two, good luck and may God be with you.

Should there be a Salary Cap in Football?
Personally I think there should be! It’s just getting to be stupid money in football at the top of the premiership!
It’s always the same teams at the top proving that football success is based purely on money which ruins the idea of it being a sport! They’ve done it in rugby, basketball, hockey and American football and it makes the sports more competitive and better to watch!
I do a little Spread Betting from time to time and most matches don’t hold much surprise who is going to win, its boring! I want to see a team at the bottom pulling off an amazing season beating last seasons winners in a close fought battle!
Make things fair! It shouldn’t be about money!
Plus!
All there is all that money in the premiership and barely any of it stays in the UK so it’s not even helping the economy!
From my Spread Betting (or more precisely Football Spread Betting) if I ever win big (which is never, I’m unlucky) it’s still nothing compared to the average premiership players weekly wage!
