I haven't seen these comments from Cahill until now:
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill had urged the FA to show leniency in the immediate aftermath of the match, which confirmed Leicester City as Premier League champions.
"The game was fantastic – it was played at an unbelievable pace. It was the fastest game I have played in a long time. People will be talking about the tackles flying, but there was so much quality out there as well. I loved playing in it.
"It was a proper game, a real local derby. There was a lot at stake, especially for them. And we knew what it meant to our fans as well. You could feel the atmosphere building beforehand. In even in the dressing room you got a sense of it.
"When there is so much at stake you cannot expect players to roll over. We’re all competitive, that’s the way it is. People should enjoy the game for what it was."
I appreciate and respect these comments, same as those that came from Terry & Hiddink plus our players also. They reflect the game that I watched and thoroughly enjoyed. All of the words from both sides of the camp acknowledge the game for what it was, an old school salty London derby, played with unashamed hatred for each other. God forbid in todays plastic Sky image of the game we are not allowed to have teams hate each other!
In the aftermath of this game it is interesting to see that loads of ex-players (not in live commentary or in studios analysing the game in a sanitised and scared to look un-PC fashion) all saying how much they loved it and saying it was their game of the season. But now the same Red Tops that were saying it was vulgar and sick, are now, after the City meek whimper and pathetic exit are now referencing our game as this is how City should have played, you couldn't fucking make it up. Just annoying it has taken a pathetic limp wristed City performance for jorno's to think differently about the game, rather than recognise it on it's own.
