To those saying JT is Englands best captain and centreback, you are obviously either loyal Chelsea fans or misguided retards.Terry epitomises everything that is wrong with English football, and indeed a lot that is wrong with English people. He is slow and only reasonably skilled, technically. He is lionised because of his willingness to throw himself into every challenge and block, where other countries work at ensuring those situations don’t occur. He’s been shown up many times over the last 2 – 3 seasons. Add to that the other indiscretions and why is he a role model? Not that I’m saying Ferdinand, Gerrard or Rooney are any better. It just seems that over here we seem to reward the thug ahead of the quiet man.Maybe we should change our name from England to “a bunch of mediocre cunts.”

Don’t strip Terry of the England captaincy based upon what he might or might not have said. Instead perhaps Capello could drop him from the squad because he’s not good enough. That’s a novel approach that past England managers have not tried when selecting their squads.

Maybe Capello could buck the trend and pick a squad that’s based upon their current form rather than how they played for their clubs under the last-but-five manager.

He won’t though. He’ll go for the usual suspects and restrict new players to a five minute cameo at the end when victory is assured/all hope is lost. Just like his predecessors.

I sincerely hope John Terry throws in the towel on his international career. He is by far our best captain and central defender but enough is enough, having the embassment of being stripped of the captaincy twice should persuade him close the door on England and let them get on with. He has never been appreciated by the FA, the manager or the moronic fans who flock to wembley. England will flop at the euros like always, but one things for certain, I wont be watching it.

Bias? Notice all your evidence must have the word ‘alleged’ before it. Innocent until proven guilty right? Your attacks at him as a player are more justified he has lost a bit of pace but is still the best Centre back England have.In future i suggest the players on the England team vote for their captain.

Campaigners against racism ape their racist counterparts. If it wasn’t so funny it would be sad. When Nelson Mandela took office he told his countrymen that seeking vengeance against those in apartheid would pull their country apart. Instead of vengeance and a desire to hurt they sought, education, conciliation and discussion. Why is John Terry facing a charge which is wholly inappropriate for his situation. The problem is the law does not educate it punishes. It cannot be right (and Terry vehemently denies) that a person who under extreme fit of pique can utter a racist remark and face the full force of the law and yet another player calls a player “ni@@er” on ten separate occasions can be dealt with by the FA.

Terry was stripped of a captaincy based on alledged accusations that he had an affair only for those papers to be fined for printing such allegations and asked to print retractions. He seen his father receive a criminal record for drug dealing an episode of entrapment so bad that the judge would not send him to jail. Terry may not be many people’s favourite but the lynch mob are out in force and it does no one any favours to see the hatred and language they use in the accusations.

Mr Mandela you are a very clever man
