John Terry has refused Football Association chairman David Bernstein's attempt to shake hands at the Champions League trophy [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22219716#"]handover[/url].[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
[url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16866149"]Bernstein stripped Terry of the England captaincy[/url] over allegations that the Chelsea skipper had [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19723020"]racially abused Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand.[/url][/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
While Terry, 32, was [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-18827915"]cleared in court last July[/url] of any criminal wrongdoing, the FA banned him for four matches.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"It's a difficult one for me. He spoke about me in the court case," he said.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
At a ceremony in London to mark the end of Chelsea's year as European champions, Bernstein shook hands with Terry's Chelsea team-mates Bratislav Ivanovic, Fernando Torres and Petr Cech.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
But, when asked by Sky Sports News whether he had followed suit, Terry replied: "No."[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
In February 2012, four months after the incident between Terry and Ferdinand in a Premier League game at Loftus Road, Bernstein told Terry in a [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22219716#"]telephone[/url] call that he was stripping him of the England captaincy because he was set to face a criminal trial.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Terry continued to make himself available for England duty, though, and played at the European Championship.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
But last September, just before the disciplinary hearing started which would ultimately lead to him being handed a four-match ban, Terry [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22219716#"]quit[/url]international football and accused the FA of making his position "untenable".[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
While admitting his relationship with Terry was "a little distant", Bernstein insisted he was unaware of any handshake snub.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"My relationships with everyone here are really fantastic," said the 69-year-old.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"I didn't notice a thing and I think we should talk about more positive things than that sort of nonsense.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"I'm not really terribly concerned. I have other things to think about. In my last three months I have other priorities."[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Bernstein will stand down from his role in July after two-and-a-half years at the helm.[/size][/font][/color]

[b] Roberto Mancini: Manchester United deserve title[/b]
[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says Manchester United deserve to win the Premier League.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
United will regain the title if they manage to [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22149292"]beat Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Monday.[/url][/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"They deserve to win this title because we lost a lot of points in [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22241798#"]games[/url] we didn't deserve to lose," said Mancini [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22141282"]after City's 3-1 loss at Tottenham.[/url][/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"But United won a lot of games in a row with goals and deserve to win the title."[/size][/font][/color]

[b] Commanding City[/b]
[color=#1C1C1C]
Manchester City lost for the first time this season after taking the lead in the Premier League. They had won 20 of the previous 22.[/color][/background][/size][/font][/color][/indent][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Defending champions City led 1-0 at White Hart Lane before conceding three quickfire second-half goals having missed several chances.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"We had chances to score and not scoring cost us the [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22241798#"]game[/url]," added the Italian. "Today was the mirror of our season."[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Mancini guided City to their first domestic title in 42 years last season as they overturned an eight-point deficit on United with six matches remaining.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
But they faced an even bigger task to retain their crown as they trailed United by 13 points, with six games left to [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22241798#"]play[/url], before the match at White Hart Lane.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
The Blues looked set to record a comfortable win after Samir Nasri's early strike put them in command, but a second-half collapse allowed Spurs to ###### a dramatic win.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Clint Dempsey tapped in [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22241798#"]Gareth[/url] Bale's cross at the far post and Jermain Defoe fired in a second before Bale added the third.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
Despite conceding three goals at White Hart Lane, City still have the best defensive record in the Premier League and Mancini admits their lack of goals has cost them the title.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
City have netted 59 goals in their 33 games, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all outscoring Mancini's team.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"I can't believe we lost because we had the game under control after playing very well for 80 minutes," added the Italian.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"Instead we didn't score and then we made two big mistakes which, for us, was strange.[/size][/font][/color][color=#1C1C1C][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]
"Tottenham's first and second goals were simple. You can't concede two goals like that."[/size][/font][/color]
