1208: And I am just being told that they are planning to play a football match after THE HANDSHAKE (or lack of) which is a nice idea. It’ll be good to have something to take our minds off the main event. Chelsea could open up a four-point gap at the top if they beat a Manchester City side who’ve had a shaky couple of weeks, but are boosted by the return of Carlos Tevez today.1205: Generally (so Wikipedia tells me) it is considered inappropriate, if not outright insulting to the initiator side, to reject a handshake without good reason (such as an injured right hand). Tony Blair and Colonel Gaddafi; Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat; Saddam Hussein and Donald Rumsfeld; Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao. Could John Terry and Wayne Bridge join that list of momentous handshakes today1202: TEAMS Chelsea v Man City
