Sport News 24/7Wayne Bridge gives up England place and will concentrate on City's push for fourth spot

There is a particularly dreadful oxymoron uttered often at the moment in the beautiful game: "Nothing surprises me in football, that was shocking". Leaving aside the issue of punditry quality, it is a phrase that actually seems apt in this circumstance, for Wayne Bridge has made himself unavailable for England selection after the alleged affair of former teammate John Terry with Bridge's ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Perroncel. He will not play in this summer's World Cup in South Africa.
The England left back's stance is understandable but still, quite a surprise, and perhaps a more focused Wayne Bridge will help Manchester City in their push for fourth place, as their fixture list to end the season includes tough games against Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Aston Villa. As well as that, Tixdaq can reveal that there are tickets available for Saturday's huge game against Chelsea.
