Chelsea have claimed William Gallas threatened to score an own goal if he was selected for their first game of the season against Manchester City. The 29-year-old French defender allegedly refused to play again for the Blues and subsequently joined Arsenal on transfer deadline day.

But in response to Chelsea's statement, Gallas said: "I am surprised and shocked by these claims. "I never said I would score own goals if I had to play for Chelsea again."

He added: "I was firm about my wanting to leave, that is true, and I will explain in due time why I wanted to.

"But I never went that far. But if people want to hide behind false accusations in order to give a reason for why I left so they can calm down the club's supporters then they can.

"All this is very, very petty on behalf of Chelsea. But at the same time, coming on behalf of its new leaders, that does not surprise me. Even if Chelsea has much money, its new leaders lack class."

Chelsea's statement says Gallas initially refused to play against Liverpool in last season's FA Cup semi-final and that, if selected to play against City, he threatened to score an own goal, get sent off or make deliberate mistakes.

Gallas was heavily criticised by Blues boss Jose Mourinho earlier in the summer when he failed to report for pre-season training on Chelsea' pre-season tour of America.

The French defender eventually joined the Gunners in a cash-plus-player exchange deal for Ashley Cole.

The full club statmement read: "Chelsea believes it is important for our supporters to be made aware of the full facts regarding William Gallas and the lack of respect he showed to the fans, the manager and the club.

WHAT A GREAT SPORTSMAN ! I BET THE GUNNERS ARE GLAD THEY HAVE HIM NOW !
