ANTON Ferdinand has been sent a bullet through the post ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup tie with Chelsea. Chronicle/Gazette sport understands the QPR defender received the missile just a day before he faces the man who allegedly racially abused him when the two sides met in a fractious derby back on October 23. John Terry faces a first hearing on Wednesday at Westminster Magistrates Court on a racially aggravated public order offence - even though the Chelsea and England captain strenuously denies the charge. And Ferdinand (pic) has already been subjected to threats and abuse in the mail, while reportedly hiring security staff at a cost of £30,000 to protect both himself and his family ahead of tomorrow's midday kick-off. Both clubs have called for calm before and during the game, and promised to stamp out the first sign of trouble either verbally or otherwise that might add to the tension, although both managers are set to name Ferdinand and Terry in their line-ups.
It's just sick. hope they catch the scum. Anton is never going to be able to play well tomorrow with all this going on. Maybe the Chelsea fans are angry that he let John Terry be racist too him. What the hell is wrong with them!
Said on the other thread but what the **** is this world coming to?! When Terry is found guilty I hope Anton sue for damages and the costs he's had to secure his family. And the nerves on that Villas Boa** fella urging Anton to shake that racists hand is beyond whats resonable.
They are clearly sh1t scared of losing and will resort to anything to scare us. It's boring Chelsea we've seen it all before ask Paladini!!!
To play devil's advocate, whilst we may all think it is a chelsea fan that has sent that to Anton, it could just be a member of a racist group trying to stir things up before Saturday's game.
Absolute SCUM! Expect nothing less from a Chelsea fan. It is sickening. My god I hope we thrash them tomorrow!
chelsea or not, it doesn't take anything away from the fact that whoever is responsible is a waste of oxygen.
Scumbags for sure...but lets be honest COWARDLY SCUMBAGS. It's all about causing Anton stress and fear 'cos if they were ever gonna shoot him they wouldn't announce it first.
First of all: 1) How do you know the person that has sent it is a Chelsea fan? 2) If it is a Chelsea fan that sent it, why should that reflect on all of us, most including myself totally condemn this sort of behaviour. Pure ignorance on your part
This could have been sent by anyone who is a fan of neither team just wanting to stir up tensions or perhaps a far-right group. Whoever sent it is scum and should be dealt with accordingly but until we are dealing with facts there is no point in speculating as to who or what type of person this sick individual he is. Saying he is a Chelsea fan without any proof (to my knowledge) is as prejudice as saying he is a white male. We have to be careful how we approach these incidents, either way it is shocking and appalling stuff
Was it blatantly a white person then? Because at this stage we're basing it on speculation. In the context of things my opinion is that it was sent by a Chelsea fan but we don't know this for a fact
Whoever this **** is, they need to grow some and face up to Anton like a man. Must be ****ing thick as **** as well. It's not Anton who is making the allegations, it's a member of the crowd you daft bastard. Should you be reading this, please PM me and I will arrange to come down to whatever rock you care to crawl from under and beat you to a pulp in front of your boyfriend. ****y ****ish ****!
Not putting everyone in the same boat but been listening to Chelsea fans on twitter for the last hour and most of them think the bullet is funny. One comment went 'Shame the bullet wasn't in a shotgun, going into Anton's belly' Utter Utter scum
