Almost exactly one year after Wayne Bridge made a point to skip John Terry in a pre-match handshake line because of spurious newspaper rumors that his former teammate slept with his ex-girlfriend/mother of his son, he did it again. This time on-loan to relegation-threatened West Ham, Bridge kept his head down and looked past Terry as the Chelsea captain shook the hands of every other member of the West Ham starting XI while flanked by two young mascots.
Who still cares about this played out soap opera, you may ask? Well, apparently Wayne Bridge still does. Even though the papers eventually choked out apologies for those "untrue" rumors. Even though he's given up his international career just to avoid Terry. And even though Terry was renamed England captain after losing the armband as a result of all this, Wayne Bridge is still quietly stewing and trying to get some kind of passive-aggressive public revenge. Which is a shame. Not because he's wrong to hold a grudge (even if it is unfounded) or dislike John Terry even if its for no reason at all, but because it's now become clear that he's really only hurt himself over his year of doing this and still hasn't moved on.
Anyway, here's a silly picture of two grown men not shaking hands.
