Thing is - the 'whole racism thing' is what is keeping the game relevant, because it HAS to be investigated.
I'm absolutely sure that terry wants it all to be forgotten, because then there's no chance he'll be found guilty (not prejudging the case, but if it all gets dropped, there will BE no case). We need to get proper closure on this, otherwise there will always be a large number of fans of all clubs who look at Terry and think 'racist'. We all have our views, of course, but it needs to either be proven (and Terry get the appropriate punishment) or disproven (in which case it can THEN be put to rest).
Of course - the other thing that's keeping this whole thing relevant is that the game was the start of Chelsea's run of ****e performances, and highllighted the lack of discipline, lack of grace from AVB, and the fallacy of the managerial turnstile approach Abramovich has employed ever since Mourino left. Blue, when you start playing better, and behaving yourselves both on and off the pitch, then this game will be forgotten.
The flip side, is if/when you crash out of the CL, things could easily spiral out of control unless the old guard is put out to pasture. New Manager, no new players, and a season with less chances of a trophy than Arsenal....
