- 25 - 167 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Should never have been taken off him in the first place and if I was him I would have told Capello and the F.A to fuck off for the way he was treated but ultimately I'm pleased for JT as we all know how much being England captain means to him.

BluesChick 1,260 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 shouldn't have been taken away in the first place.I find it interesting that when Capello asked to speak in person with Rio before the announcement that Rio wouldn't/couldn't meet with him! LOL He knew it was coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Indeed, and finally Capello sees sense. About bloody time he was reinstated too, never should have had it taken off him in the first place. There's Only One England Captain!

ElNinoSemper 18 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Actually I think it did JT some good to have the captaincy stripped from him. Personal life or not, you can't be the leader you need to be when there's an air of distrust and resentment even if if it's just amongst a few in your team. There's a Machiavelli quote I love which basically says it isn't titles that honour men but men that honour titles. I think it's quite apt in this case.But lesson learnt I'm sure and I am glad he's gotten it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Terry reinstated as England captain 20th Mar 2011, In Articles, by Alex Hinsley________________________________________________________John Terry has been reinstated as the permanent England captain – sparking the view that Fabio Capello isn't as much of an idiot as we all initially feared. The move comes about 14 months too late, unfortunately – we all saw the wonderful mess that some refer to as the 2010 World Cup (I, despite being a fierce patriot, prefer to forget England qualified for the tournament in South Africa in the first place) that came thanks to the decision to strip the captaincy from a man who had led the country through their most successful qualifying campaign of all-time. I'd like to reaffirm a point I recently made – I actually have a lot of sympathy for Rio Ferdinand. The bloke is a top defender, and though he isn't, at least in my view, a leader with the same qualities as Terry, he nonetheless has been a successful captain at Manchester United over the last couple of seasons. The way in which he has been treated by Capello is pretty disgraceful, mind. But with Ferdinand seemingly out for the season (just to add to the injury woes which have limited him to just four appearances out of the last 13 internationals), and vice-captain Steven Gerrard also being crocked, the appointment of a permanent fixture as skipper has been a must for some time. Capello took the piss when the armband was carelessly flung around in Denmark last month – granted Frank Lampard deserved to wear it in the first half, but seeing someone like Ashley Cole and then Gareth Barry with it will have come as a great insult to Chelsea's skipper. And the Italian has said enough is enough – Terry has had his "year of punishment" and winning the Double last season is just part of the reason why he should have been reinstated months ago. Granted that Rio's been treated badly – but he could have at least met with Capello at the weekend; instead allegedly preferring not to meet the England gaffer because he was so distraught. A box of Kleenex are en route to your hotel room, Rio, as well as my deepest sympathies. Ferdinand has become something of a serious Twitter-whore and usually plasters one's newsfeed with a variety of generic 'COME ON UNITED' bullshit (though the odd controversial comment and novelty joke come as a nice surprise now and again), but unfortunately, the ex-England captain has not been available to comment. I wonder if his wi-fi is down? The right decision has been made so we can all sleep easy. Even though its morning…. Maybe you'll sleep well tonight? I don't know. I won't use any more clichés. But at the end of the day (shit, sorry!), Terry deserves the armband back. He may be a money-grabbing twat like the rest of them, but at least he's a money-grabbing twat with an ounce of humility and demonstrates a genuine gratitude that he is where he is – as opposed to the arrogant, obnoxious piece of turd some Manchester United fans refer to as Wayne Rooney. You may not believe it, but Terry is actually a human being so perhaps some of you self-righteous zealots and sanctimonious arseholes should stop pretending you are so morally-superior to a person who is approximately 26 times the man you will ever be. That doesn't apply to the female journalists slagging Terry off, in which case he is twice the woman you'll ever be, as well. I'd like to see some underpaid writer of mundane stories (the sort of journalist who recycles the same mediocre, characterless writing every week without second thought) put up with the sort of stick Terry's had. They'd probably go and slash at their wrists after a few days of it all. Boo hoo. Fair enough, Our John's had his fair share of wrongdoings, but unlike Rooney, he didn't have to pay up front for his extramarital frolicking – proving he can come up with the goods home and away. Get in, JT! John Terry wears his heart on his sleeve. John Terry is a sincere man, and though he will never be forgiven by those pervasive, repetitive dickheads at The Daily Mail who spawn the same bollocks stories every Sunday morning, John Terry remains the best candidate for the job – and I guess that's what the England captaincy should be decided on. Which brings me to my (somewhat predictable) climax: John Terry – England and Chelsea Captain, Leader and Legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
