Perfect Chris Forrester ball forces John Terry into red card tackle

There are few English footballers who inspire such division as John Terry.

As beloved as Chelsea's club captain is with his own fans, plenty of opposing supporters take great delight whenever things don't go the veteran's way. Whether his slip against Manchester United, his own goal against Crystal Palace or his other slip against Arsenal, the sight of an upset John Terry feels like Christmas to those who enjoy seeing others fail. https://twitter.com/darrenrichman/status/149512279711416320 Chelsea had a fairly routine first hour in their FA Cup meeting with Peterborough United, opening up a three-goal lead through Pedro, Michy Batshuayi and Willian. But then this happened. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/818131052984008704 Terry saw red for a foul on Lee Angol as the Posh forward ran through on goal from a gorgeous pass via former St. Pat's midfielder Chris Forrester, and even a few Chelsea fans seemed to accept the captain was right to go as he was the last man. https://twitter.com/TheSunFootball/status/818146321567580160 As for supporters of other clubs, they offered up a balanced response, showing sympathy for the England international on his first appearance since November. Just kidding. https://twitter.com/superhoops10/status/818132225111785472 https://twitter.com/AwakeStephen/status/818135316578050048 https://twitter.com/AgentMeho/status/818134541953015808 https://twitter.com/Casiio_/status/818135552574844928 https://twitter.com/_JamesHarold_/status/818131827386908672 In fairness to Chelsea fans, plenty of them seemed to see the funny side too, offering up what feels like - but almost certainly wasn't - a coordinated response. https://twitter.com/SimpIyEden/status/818131235730026497 https://twitter.com/HarryChan01/status/818131174119895041 https://twitter.com/DirtyBaristard/status/818131369230364672 https://twitter.com/cfcsteven_/status/818131135020539904 https://twitter.com/J4CKFW/status/818132001735720960 https://twitter.com/opik_chelsea27/status/818131973902319618
