John Terry dropped as England captain; replaced by Rio

**blueisthecolour** · 05-02-2010 02:39 PM

Reported on SSN.

John Terry has done nothing wrong. All coaching manuels state that if the full back leaves a hole its the centre backs job to fill it.

They said THAT on SSN????? Also, which Spanish coach are you quoting exactly?

The English media really do like wringing out every bit of drama possible before a major tournament.

You said "Coaching manuels"

Manuel is a Spanish name

Manual is the word you were looking for

Apparently Terry has lost the captains armband, but Cappello has asked Bridge to have a look under the bed...

Would I get a gig at Ibrox though or do you prefer to stick with that pathetic non-entity Andy Cameron?

PS: I'm not an admin so my resignation would be pointless

Wait until the Lampard / Ferdinand / Gerrard / bevvy of hookers / barnyard animals / ketamine & alcohol fuelled sex romp in a chalet at Minehead hits the redtops.

P.S. Congrats, Uncle Richey.

Am an Admin and akin boot you clean of this forum if a want

Terry quoted in the mirror:

"I just don't get it. The manager told me to make better use of my tackle and to "get up" more. He also encouraged me to try and score from many different positions. I took all of these things into consideration, gave it a go and now I lose the captaincy".

You got the job

AC doesn't do it anymore, he was no where to be seen for a while then only last week he was reading out the teams and doing the half time draw, let's hope he was just standing in, you can think yourself lucky you only had to listen to him a couple of times a season I had to listen every other week.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

But, please tell us why.

Terry vows to continue giving everything for England.

It's a non story. England should have either left Terry as captain or punted him from the natinal team. He'll still be playing a major role at the world cup and will just get Rio to shout out his orders for him.

How can you keep a man like that as captain of England? Especially as Bridge is his England teammate, Not setting the best example is he?

***Part/Time Supporter*** · 05-02-2010 03:41 PM

They should make Crouch captain, not much danger of him running off with the other WAGs.

and the paragon of virtue that is Rio Ferdinand appointed in his place.

**CB_NO3** · 05-02-2010 04:00 PM

Take it off a sex addict and give it to a drug user lol

What they get up to in their own time should not affect their standing on a football pitch. Terry must be more worthy of the job than Ferdinand but remember they're footballers and as prone to being ***** just as much, if not more, than the next man. Problem is they get paid that much they've lost touch with the real world.

Gotta wonder whether Ferdy's alleged habit does stay off the pitch though. He snarls on it in a way reminiscent of Diego "Chemically Enhanced" Maradona at his snarliest.

(Agree, hyperpaid fuds the lot of them.)

I disagree. To be captain of your club or country you need to have the respect of the players you play with. If the rest of the squad look at him and think he would do it to any one of them and obviously doesn't care about losing their trust.

Wonder how many of the WAG's will turn up at the England World Cup celebrations party and if any will be introduced to JT.

To whom?

The public? The public want a winning team, and don't give a monkeys what their football idols do elsewhere. I give you George Best, Ronaldhino, Derek Riordan.

The team? I'll give you whatever odds you want that there are frictions and factions in every team, club and national. It's a part of the job to work with folk you can't stand and don't respect. We all have to do it in our own jobs.
