I, personally, think he's saying BLIND not black, but this is how it's being interpreted.

But Terry has said in a statement issued to Press Association Sport: "I've seen that there's a lot of comments on the internet with regards to some video footage of me in today's game.

"I'm disappointed that people have leapt to the wrong conclusions about the context of what I was seen to be saying to Anton Ferdinand.

"I thought Anton was accusing me of using a racist slur against him. I responded aggressively, saying that I never used that term.

"I would never say such a thing, and I'm saddened that people would think so.

"I have known Anton for a long time and spoke to him about it after the game and there was no problem between us.

"I congratulated him on their win. He has not accused me of any wrongful remark. It was clear it was all a misunderstanding at the time.

"After the result today, I am saddened to be dealing with these wrongful allegations.

"I am the proud captain of one of the most internationally diverse teams in the Premier League and I absolutely believe that there is no place for racism in sport and indeed in any walk of life."

QPR declined to comment when contacted.

I "read" blind too.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Lmao, obviously blind.

Yes, he would say black cunt with Ashley Cole right next to him.

[Tomo 21,681]

Apparently it was QPR fans that started this rumour.

Would not suprise me.

It's not like the word 'black' is a racial slur anyways (he obviously said blind). What a world we live in.

[Santiago 15]

Apparently it was QPR fans that started this rumour.

Would not suprise me.

Yeah, I saw some tweets saying that JT told it was a misunderstanding. JT talked to Anton and everything was cleared.

[Rambo 1,729]

Definitely said blind imo.

[HRiver 1,512]

Or bellend maybe?

[nullabletype 987]

Can't believe we're even giving this the time of day. Such a non issue and clearly some daft fans clutching at straws trying to stir up some controversy. Move along, nothing to see here.

[Madmax 9,219]

"Yeah, yeah, you fucking bellend ... fucking knobhead."

So racist

[didierforever 7,349]

talk about making mountains out of molehills...

[Laylabelle 9,292]

And love how he's seen as guilty as well...despite most fans not having the ablity to read lips and get an accurate answer...

[manpe 10,855]

I think he might be saying "yeah yeah I didn't call you a black cunt... you knobhead" because he stated that Anton accused him for being racist, but JT explained that wasn't the case. But I'm no lipreader lol, it might have easily been something like "you're a fuckin ugly mug like your brother" or smth like that

QPR fans think he said what they wanted to hear...classless scum. They didn't win anything yesterday, Foy simply gave them 3 points.

Shit happens, but they'll be back at the Bridge on April and I marked the day on my calendar. It's going to hurt....

This ain't over.

Video is no longer available but there's not even an issue here, John Terry is not a racist. QPR fans are trying to cause trouble for JT because of his reputation. It's like when he "spat" at Tevez in the CL, it was clearly obvious nothing even came out of his mouth he was in the middle of talking, probably calling Tevez an ugly little cunt.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Constant talking and pointless discussion is what blows up these kind of stupid rumors and turns them into huge scandals; please close this thread.

[Liquidator 5,176]

It was probably just some bullshit made up by a bored QPR fan who hates John Terry because they are jealous that he is one of the best centre-backs in the world and they are stuck with nobodies in their team

[eldo 868]

The FA should rather concentrate on disgusting QPR fans.

Heard they were singing about JT's family.
