Ashley Cole was caught doing 104mph in a 50mph zone. When questioned by police as to why he was speeding he said' date=' "l've just heard John Terry has parked up outside my house."[/quote']

 

lol good one.

 

Chelseeeaaaaa' date=' where-ever you may be, don't leave your wife with John Terry, could be worse, could be scouse, he'd shag your wife and rob your house![/quote']

 

LMAO very well done lol.

 

John Terry has been asked if he can star in a new ITV drama. It's called Other Footballers' Wives.

 

lol nice.

Yeah very odd decision having Rio as captain ? Gerrard would have been the much better choose.

I recall Rio having done the duties before now' date=' when Terry was injured, didn't think he'd be offered the permanent position though.[/quote']

 

Yeah I thought Gerrard would get it. Only reason I think he didn't is because he may not always be in the team if they switch midfield around like they do.

 

The whole thing stinks though. Why do our press always add pressure to our footie team before a world cup?

I agree that the pressure will be on' date=' but I think it was the right call. Terry isn't a good role model for the thousands (even millions) of kids that look up to him, England could do with a better person to represent their team.[/quote']

 

I think his private life is his own. As long as he's not breaking the law I see no problem. (He leaves that to his Mums).

Maybe not the ideal role model but I'm not sure Rio is either, or probably most of the rest of the team!

Well' date=' nothing was ever proven with Rio, he just failed to show up to a test. He's better than a guy who undermines the solidarity of the team by sleeping with a team-mate's wife.[/quote']

 

just saying alot players on the england team have done alot off stupid stuff off the field. Like i said earlier theres a great chance rio wont be fit for the world cup

If he's going to be the first choice for the World Cup, then David James would be a good captain. He's the most senior member of the squad, and has recently altered the terms of his contract with Portsmouth in an effort to alleviate the financial problems they are currently having. IMO he is a good role model for England players.

But what capello is saying hes not a good role model? well neither is steven gerrard or rio

 

I don't agree about Rio at all, that was several years ago, he's performed the role before and his alleged offences weren't as disgraceful as Terry's. I sort of agree about Gerrard though, although he's not going to be captain, but if he were it would be a bit of a double standard. That said, I think there's a difference between a drunken fight and cheating on your wife and going behind a team-mate's back that lasted for a while, publicity surrounding the Terry scandal has been far bigger as well.

But Rio failing to turn up for a drug test is worse imo than what Gerrard and Terry have done as it involves the sport.

Yeah, but I think he'll end up being number one at the world cup. The only other contender is Robert Green and Capello just doesn't seem to rate him. I think Lampard or Barry are among the "cleaner" members of the squad, but they're not captain material, and we need Rooney to concentrate on his game. Gerrard doesn't play his best football for England, and Rio could be a doubt if his injuries flare up.

But it was in 2003! That's seven years ago! He hasn't done anything since, he's made a good captain and nothing was ever proved about his involvement with drugs.

True, but considering he's not a constant starter he's not an obvious choice, they want someone who can be captain permanently and who usually starts for the team. I think considering that Gerrard is captain at the 'Pool and Rio has been captain before, they're the obvious choices.

Personally i dont care about his personal life in the slightest, seeing a footballer cheat doesn't mean all the kids are going to grow up sleeping around. Gerrard has never performed in an England shirt, amazing for Liverpool but i'd pick Lampard over him everytime.

 

Was reading the daily mail at work yesterday (either that or the times) and noticed 2 things, Terrys wife was clearly besides herself, whilst sunning herself in Dubai or someplace without the children & also the USA had the exact same situation in 1998 with John Harkes, who was captain, sleeping with another players wife, their manager did exactly the same thing by stripping him of the captaincy & has regretted it ever since saying it was the main reason for their poor performance.

 

Just my view, interesting read eh.

 

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday HappyHamer.

That's different, because Terry was captain back then and still is now. He represents the team. Rio was not captain back then.

I would agree that Terry should be the natural captain, it's just a shame that there is no obvious replacement. While I think Terry has let himself down, he showed on Saturday that he can cope with the pressure, but IMO the FA are spineless. By deciding to leave the decision solely to Capello, they were hoping to avoid the hard decision and the inevitable press backlash regardless of the decision Fabio made.

Was Tony Adams not captain when he got locked up & then returned to the postion after his release. I'm not 100% but vaguely remember there being some kind of uproar about it.

 

Yh but were like in a differant era now were all footballers have to be rolemodels on and off the pitch

The media are a bunch of idiots as well though. Remember when Gazza was pictured eating a kebab at 2 in the morning before a major tournament, and the press clamoured for him to be dropped.

As soon as we got knocked out, the press then began calling for Glenn Hoddle to resign because he left Gazza out of the squad.

Because of the bloody press and their incesant shoving footballers in our face, before every major tournament they have to dig up something to stir stuff up. Just wish they would leave it be for just one cup.

I remember Gazza being the centre of the dentist chair fiasco before 1996 and they all called for him to be dropped, then he scored that wonder goal against Scotland and all was forgiven.

It wouldn't be good for England to drop Terry from the squad, so I can see why they kept him on. Gerrard, Lampard, and Rooney all expressed that they did not want to captain role.

 

Also, Capello stated

 

?When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain and also named a third choice," he added. "There is no reason to change this decision."

 

All in all I say it was the right move for England.
