WE'RE ALL THINKING IT

Former Chelsea star Peter Osgood has caused a stir with
comments on Sky after the FA Cup quarter final replay.
Incensed by Jeffers he said:

“I tell you what, if I was still a player - or if I was Ron
'Chopper' Harris - I would love to take him out. I would
love to see him get really hurt because he does dive so
much.

"He's the biggest cheat I've seen in my life, he really is.
He's just a disgrace to Arsenal Football Club. I think it's
a shame because Arsenal are a very good side, probably the
best in the Premiership.

"But I think it takes away a bit when you get guys like him
diving around. It's really sad."

Jeffers had hit back though, saying this on the Arsenal
website:

"I have been made aware of Peter Osgood's outrageous
comments. As an ex-pro he has a responsibility to the game
as a whole. Perhaps he's trying too hard to justify his
existence as a controversial pundit.

"I take exception to his allegation of cheating. To go
further and state he wants a fellow professional to really
hurt another is quite frankly beyond belief."
