Football: 'It's not the Champions League final' - John Terry accuses Arsenal of 'CELEBRATING too much' after Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea

 

Chelsea legend, John Terry has hit out at Arsenal for 'celebrating too much' during their celebrations after beating Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final.
 
The Gunners beat their London rivals 1-0 at the Emirates to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory and book their spot in the March 22 Wembley final, where they will face Manchester City in a repeat of the 2018 final.
 

For Arsenal, it is their first final since 2020 when they won the FA Cup by beating the Blues, while it is their first League Cup final since 2018 and a chance to win the competition for the first time since 1993.
The North London side have not won a trophy under Mikel Arteta since the Covid FA Cup triumph, but they have come close in the Premier League three times.
 
However, former Chelsea captain Terry believes the Arsenal celebrations for making the final showed how the pressure was on them at the moment.
 
Speaking on his TikTok page, the five-time Premier League winner said: “I just want to talk on Arsenal’s celebrations after… let’s not forget, it’s the Carabao Cup, it’s not the Champions League final.
 
“They celebrated far too much for me, I think that showed the pressure that’s on them at the moment.
 
“I’ve said it before, Arsenal are looking the best team by far in the Premier League so far, and I think they’ve got the best squad in the Premier League so far.
 
“They’ve got a lot of strength in depth, and I think they’ve been the best, but also, it certainly wasn’t the Champions League final that they’ve qualified to; it’s the Carabao Cup final.
 
“Yes, it’s the first competition you can win, I think it’s really important, but that just showed me where the Arsenal team are at at the moment.
 
“They can feel the nerves and I know every Arsenal fan out there is feeling what I’m feeling, that there’s still a chance [they could blow it].”
 
Terry also gave his take on Liam Rosenior’s tactics, admitting he was disappointed with the passive mentality taken by Chelsea.
 
He added: “I think against Arsenal, this year the two games I’ve seen, we’ve outplayed Arsenal.
 
“So going into those games, I’ve never feared Arsenal anyway, in the league or in any competition.
 
“I think it’s different if we’re in the Champions League semi-final, I think you’re approach then becomes a little bit cautious.
 
“But it’s the Carabao Cup, we’ve won it many times, and we had nothing to fear, I don’t think, going into that.
 
“I think the pressure was on Arsenal in the week, and I think we made it very easy for them at home as well, so disappointed with that, I think we left it far too late.”

NAFDAC says ban on sachet alcohol is to protect children

  The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says its enforcement of the ban on alcoholic beverages in sachets and small plastic or glass bottles is aimed at protecting children and young people and not punishing manufacturers.   In a statement on Thursday, January 29, NAFDAC director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, said the policy was driven by public health concerns and growing evidence that alcohol packaged in sachets and containers below 200 milliliters has increased underage drinking across the country.   The agency recently began enforcement of the ban following a directive by the senate, with the backing of the ministry of health and social welfare.   According to Adeyeye, the small and cheap packaging of high-alcohol-content drinks makes them “easily accessible, affordable and concealable”, leading to widespread misuse among minors and some commercial drivers.       “This ban is not punitive; it is protective. It is ai...
