Should John Terry remain England captain?
I dont know exactly whats gone off here, hes been knockin 1 into Wayne Bridge's "EX" missus apparently?
But anyway thats not why Ive started this discussion.
Just watched JK and this morning came on. And sat there, debating weather or not John Terry should remain the England football captain, are Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, and some woman who clearly has huge issues, has obviously been cheated on hundreds of times by men, and who is clearly on the show, to vent her own personal frustration.
When asked the question about John Terry she answered "Absoluttttely NO!" - I mean come on, does she even know what football is? So sik three nobodies like this discussing the future of the England football team?
So what John Terrys been at it, Wayne Bridge struggles to get in the England squad, nevermind the team, so theres gonna be no problems there. If ur gona take his captaincy, surely u must drop him altogether?
Its ridiculous, its the World Cup, not sunday league football!
God I hate Phillip Schofield.
Anyway, opinions?
DOHH

However on the matter of Terry i can imagine his wife wil give him all the punishment required so that should be that. If i go dipping my wick elsewhere and get collored off the mrs then my boss wouldn't suddenly fire me so why should his less that faithful approach to marrige impact on his job????
Don't get it but knowing the British public they will call for his head and then complain when we are knocked out of the World Cup Due to a shoddy defence
Did i mention i hate Philip Schofield?

Make your own mind up which one is the proper Ned, (Fighting in Boozers etc) and/or Morally Retarded.

A few of these chaps may of enjoyed a pint, and a minor scrape, But generally set a good example on AND off the pitch.
Ok, so it is said that JT dipped his stick when the lass was single......WHAT ABOUT HIS MISSUS????
Hope she takes him to the cleaners.
The man is not fit to Captain his Country, and would be no great loss to the team. There are centre -halves better than JT who can step in.......
He is vastly overated (imo) and England do not have a prayer of winning the WC with him in defence.
Before anyone slates me though, keep this post aside until summer, (lets say he does play) it is guaranteed he will be found out by the worlds best strikers.
Will be interesting to see if him and Wayne Bridge ever play in the same team as well......
Have to disagree with you there emilyegg:
Terry was voted best defender in the UEFA Champions League in both 2005 and 2008, the PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2005, and was included in the FIFPro World XI for four consecutive seasons, from 2005 to 2008. He was also named in the all-star squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the only English player to make the team.
There's no better central defenders around. Ferdinand has been playing below par this season. Ledley King has got dodgy knees. Gary Cahill looks promising but lacks experience for a World Cup. Jonny Woodgate lacks fitness. Sol Campbell is getting on and probably won't see enough first team action for Arsenal. Carragher's retired but i don't think he was international class anyway due to his distribution. So all that's left is Lescott, Wes Brown, Upson and Michael Dawson. I know who i'd rather have leading the back line.
I'm not really bothered what John Terry gets up to in his private life. Lets face it, if he put in some world class displays and scored the goal that won us the World Cup then the media would probably retract the story and kiss his derriere and every bloke in England would probably let him dip his wick in their missus because he'd be such a legend.
None of the current players in the England team are captain material if you look at their private lives. Rooney nailed a 110 year old prossie. Gerrard was involved in a fracas. Ashley Cole is always getting done for speeding and he did the dirty on Cheryl. Beckham wore a sarong. I could go on and on.
Let's just presume that Terry will lose the captaincy(the media will make sure that happens), i'd say give it to Frank Lampard. Great professional, respected by the other England players, not been involved in any major mishaps off the field as far as i'm aware and having the captain's armband might get an extra 20% out of him which isn't a bad thing.
Great thread though, sure to raise some debate.
Anyway if Wayne Bridge changed his mind and said he does still want to play for England, thats the managers dilemma. But if that happens, JT will have screwed Wayne Bridge as well as his Mrs. lol
Who else could be the next England captain though if not Terry?
Wayne Bridge bought a Cadburys Chocolate mould of his Tadger for his (ex) Mrs.
She said she preferred Terrys.
I think people should care less to be honest, if it wasnt for the media we wouldn't give 2 hoots.
We all love JT!
He's by far the best defender in england.
One of the top 3 in the world.
a BLOOODY GOOD leader!
i say, GOOD LAD! Make him the manager whilst were at it!
And also, he could sleep with every lass in the world for me, as long as he gets his filthy hands on that world cup!
GET BEHIND HIM, DONT CHUFFING SLATE HIM!
Stevie G should have been captain from the start but he is'nt exactly squeaky clean.
The captain thing is about being respected by your fellow team mates and I cant see Terry getting that.
The biggest question is who will cover for Ashley Cole at left back? I cant see Bridge wanting to play.
and Baines would be an excellent choice for cover, he has been a long favourate of mine while he was at Wigan.
It takes two to tango.
He`s a far better captain and more usefull player than
Steven Gerrard will ever be.
Can't really compare terry and gerrard, thats like trying to compare a dump truck with a Helicopter.... Both forms or transport but used for very different purposes. Rooney needs to keep his mind on getting goals and doesn't need the added preasure of Captains band to interfere with that. Terry should stay captain in my opinion but if not then people are missing Ferdinand out of the captaincy equation. It's good to have that captain marshalling the defensive line
The fact is John Terry is prob. the best England centre half in modern times, and the best to have played in the Premiership! When I have watched him live [ALOT] or on box, and in interviews, his behavior has always been exemplary. Having played at high standard myself, I reckon him being captain or not, would not change in any way his perf. or pitch leadership qualities! His problem will be what the F.A {Usless}, or Capello, decide to do if they feel they have to pander to the media and public opinion, due to every A-Z lister and Idiot having a view on how he should be punished!
Loads of footballers have been in court & prison! ffs!! Normally because in general they ARE Stupid, and in modern times with the extravegant wages, devoloped bad habits & ego's
Where Terry will struggle, will be with the cumulative effect of media stories surrounding him
The fight with bouncers, the 10K envelope for tour of ground, the mother on shoplifting, the father getting drawn on the drugs by a journo, worse tho seems to be the failed Injunction which has wound up elements of the press, who will not let him off the hook! We have all had the jokes & texts, i have laughed, but that will always happen!!
I know he can get thru this, and hope he leads us to a World Cup win, captain or not
I hope his family can get thru this in one piece, and
I promise when some Fulham fans, like all others start singing 'songs', in this case I will not be joining in!!
hope he has a stinker next time he plays us!!!

Fulham till I die!! COYW's
Please dont delete this one !!!
I think Fabio should strip John of his captainshipness, and let Wayne be captain of the England football club.....all square!
I'd personally go for Lampard or any other if I was betting.
He's asked him if he can check under the bed !!!!
