‘Going over the games and goals in my head thinking this should be 10 or less. records are there to be broken, but I’m not sure 15 goals conceded in the Premier League will ever be beat.’
Cech, meanwhile, responded to Terry’s post pointing out he missed the last two matches of that season, as did his captain.
‘Neither did I mate,’ Terry retorted. ‘I had an operation on my toe so I would be fit for pre-season. So me and you only conceded 13.’
