Anton and Terry to shake hands?

Senior officials from Chelsea and QPR are in talks to defuse the growing tension surrounding Saturday's west London derby at Loftus Road.
QPR defender Anton Ferdinand will meet with manager Mark Hughes on Thursday having indicated he will not shake John Terry's hand before the match.
In July, the Chelsea captain was acquitted of racially abusing Ferdinand in last season's corresponding fixture.
Terry is still facing a separate FA charge, which he denies.
Ferdinand is also understood to be considering avoiding Ashley Cole in any pre-match line-up after the Chelsea defender testified as a character witness for Terry at the trial in July.
While the Premier League is adamant the pre-match handshake should go ahead, senior figures have conceded it could be abandoned if one or both clubs request it in the interest of easing a highly charged situation. Neither club has contacted the Premier League asking to postpone the pre-match handshake yet, but both have spoken to the Metropolitan Police.
In July Terry was cleared at Westminster Magistrates' Court of racially abusing Ferdinand during the Premier League game between the West London sides. It was alleged Terry had insulted Ferdinand, describing him as "black" and using extreme sexual swear words.
But in reaching a not guilty verdict, chief magistrate Howard Riddle stated it was "possible that what was said was not intended as an insult but rather as a challenge to what he believed had been said to him".
The prosecution had to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Terry had used the words in an insulting manner, which it could not.
But the FA only has to prove its case "on the balance of probabilities".
Fabio Capello resigned as England manager in February after Terry was stripped of the captaincy because of the allegations.
Capello's successor Roy Hodgson included Terry in the squad that played at Euro 2012.

The Premier League has confirmed that the pre-match handshake between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea on Saturday will go ahead as planned.
There were suggestions that the ritual could be scrapped due to concerns because of the anticipated meeting of Rs defender Anton Ferdinand (http://topics.skysports.com/Anton+Ferdinand/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Blues (http://topics.skysports.com/blues/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif skipper John Terry. (http://topics.skysports.com/John+Terry/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
England centre-back Terry was found not guilty of using a racial slur against Ferdinand in the corresponding fixture last October but remains the subject of a Football Association investigation, having denied all charges relating to the matter.Terry and team-mate Ashley Cole, (http://topics.skysports.com/Ashley+Cole/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif who was called as a witness in the court case, have recovered from the ankle injuries which restricted their involvement in England's recent World Cup qualifiers and are both expected to feature.
Ferdinand is fit to play after overcoming a shoulder problem and both clubs, who have appealed for calm from their supporters prior to the clash, have been informed that there will be no change to the usual rituals prior to kick-off.
The tradition was abandoned in advance of the previous two encounters between the clubs with court proceedings still pending, but the Premier League will not adopt that stance on this occasion.
Their statement read: "There has been dialogue between the Premier League, Queens Park Rangers (http://topics.skysports.com/Queens+Park+Rangers/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Chelsea (http://topics.skysports.com/chelsea/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif in relation to tomorrow's match between the two clubs.
"All parties understand and acknowledge the pre-match handshake will go ahead as part of the normal pre-match activities."
Blues boss Roberto di Matteo insisted his players would have no problem shaking hands, while counterpart Mark Hughes (http://topics.skysports.com/Mark+Hughes/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif was more guarded but admitted they would be guided by the decision from the game's rulers.

The same GHELkinson who's been a part of a defence that's barely been troubled so far this season? Have you watched him play or do you just compile a highlight reel of the couple of misplaced passes he made against Liverpool?

His first job is defending and he's done that at a very good level so far in his Arsenal career. His all-round play improves game by game too. It's a bonus if he becomes the next Dani Alves.

It's another example of the wisdom of Sam Allardyce.

He has defended very well. He plays the odd shocker of a pass which he really needs to cut out because we only have room for one mental patient and his name is Slcjshjkdfhlerkty. Gibbs is better but I'm very comfortable with the British ratio in the squad right now.

wont win anything with the likes of jenkinson in the team. id put our great run down to the defence working as a unit and being well drilled, not jenkinson specifically doing anything amazing. we know most of our defenders are individually good but as a unit they used to be terrible. that seems to have been sorted now and we're reaping the rewards.

he still plays suicide passes which will prove fatal against top teams. 3 in the last game and 1 today
