He doesn't let this bad press effect his performances on the pitch, he's a leader on the pitch he gives his all for the shirt. Nobody is perfect everone makes mistakes but his are highlighted so much because of who he is. & the press seem to be after him. The English press especially in a world cup year are highlighting all his mistakes trying to knock him off his perch. As for stripping him of the captaincy because of this is a ridiculous thought. He's a leader on the pitch who are we going to give it to Gerrard who beats people up in bars? Rio who misses drug tests? What JT has done may be wrong but its not illegal and he hasn't broken any rules of the game.
