For weeks, Didier Drogba has been telling anyone who will listen that "something is broken with Chelsea" and he wants to move to another club as soon as possible. That, however, was before Chelsea went out and spent £15 million on Nicolas Anelka. All of the sudden, Drogba can't wait to get back to London and begin ... *cue dramatic music* ... HIS REIGN OF TERROR!!!!"Anelka is a good forward - but he will only complement me rather than fighting for the position with me. I want to see a great Chelsea attack and his inclusion only makes us stronger. ... I'll love to play alongside Anelka and form a terrifying partnership."
Oh, yes, a terrifying partnership. Cower in fear of their might, all ye Fulhams and Newcastles, for you never know when they will strike! Build your defenses! Make everyone take their shoes off at your airports! Confiscate their water bottles, too, for terror is coming, and it wears blue!!!
For a man who brings nations together, "terrify" is an odd choice of words. Then again, maybe Manchester United and Arsenal should be scared. Chelsea's just five points behind them in the Premier League title race. If they're still that close when Drogba returns from the African Nations Cup, it will be awfully hard to count them out. It might even be enough to make Avram Grant break out in song.

It is no secret that bloggers have a huge credibility problem with a lot of people (mainly with those who's livelihoods are at stake) and completely false and misleading titles like this one hurt your cause.
I imagine that you were trying to be clever and trying to get readers to stop and check out your article, but this isn't the way to do it. It would have been another story had Drogba actually said anything relating to terrorsim, but he never came close.
Put simply, this title is completely irresponsible, and I expect a higher standard from this site.
