Terry reappointed as England captain

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Capello didn't understand the meaning of 'permanent'

Apparently Capello used the word "permanent" out of term. Terry will be captain for only one game. According to ESPN anyway..

Capello is a fucking nob.

He knows he made a mistake taking the armband off Terry and is using the injuries as an excuse. He will never admit he made a terrible decision taking it off him.

ONE ENGLAND CAPTAIN.

Testify!

JT knows that he has a huge chance now. He will captain England against Wales and Ghana and if he has 2 awesome games and England do the business, he'll get his armband back. There's only ONE man that can captain England and that is John Terry and i believe it's going to happen. Nobody in that England team are exactly angels are they anyway. Fabio knows he fucked up stripping him for non football reasons and he knows that for the good of the team and the situation, he's the best man for the job. You have to make these conditions for the good of the team, surely. For FOOTBALL REASONS!!

The last year has been a joke, the world cup was a joke and we all know why, so does Fabio. Time to make amends. Fuck what the media think, we need the right captain for England's football team and JT is the man.

Still think Terry should retire

[ChelseaChick 430]

Terry should tell Capello where to stick his fucking armband! But he won't and he will be loyal to England even though most of the country hate him! Poor Rio....not!

[Laylabelle 9,534]

So I read in the bbc gossip column that Capello told Ferdinand that JT would just be a stand-in and that Rio still gets the armmband...

What a mess of this he's making!

Whats the point in that?Either he's Captain or not.Agree he should tell him where to stick it.He's been treated like shit really,the whole pass the arm band to anyone but him sega we've had.

Agree so much! Terry doesn't deserve this kind of disrespect. But the profession he is, he'd never turn down the position.

Dear John, Frank, and Ashley

You are three of the best players of your generation and some of the most-respected footballers in the world - but only outside of England. Lampard's goalscoring form has always been valued by the Italian and Spanish giants, Terry's defensive prowess has earned him European recognition and the fact Real wanted Cole shows his footballing status. But in England, you're treated like shit and without respect by all bar Chelsea supporters.

So in other words, retire you old bastards.

The fact that Ashley Cole won the England player of the year award which was decided by public votes, means things aren't all Doom and Gloom..

More than whether the other fans care abt or appreciate them, it is about a person as a player wanting to win/achieve great things with his own country..

[Fulham Broadway 17,306]

Yup. it was public votes, so there are some objective observers out there, and not just wankers who have some misguided loyalty to his geordie racist ex.

As far as JT is concerned, i've watched England for many years, and no one comes close to the sense of occasion and pride he has. from singing the National anthem to wearing the 3 lions.

He has more pride in playing for England than Chelsea, -now whether that is misguided or not, is open to much debate -but the fact is, there is no better candidate to be captain of his country.

[Ollie 4,400]

Even if it's one game, i'm really looking forward to see him lead England out against Wales. And what a game to do it, Wales, Millennium Stadium, Euro Qualifier, sweet.

I really hope he gets named on a permanent basis. He's purely the ONLY man for the job.

[Radwan 8 0]

Definitely deserves it. What a twat that Capello looks now.

[Fulham Broadway 17,306]

Phil McNultys take on it

Complete Self Righteous Drivel

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Thing is if Rios out for the season then it makes sense..not to take anything from Lampard cause he can do the job but just think JT's a bit more vocal..

Though be treated like utter shit but everyone poor guy.All that 'oh he thinks he's captain' after his yap in Africa..he was put as spokemens!! And Capello did what JT suggested anyway but nooo he was in the wrong for saying what most were thinking
