This guy is a disgraceful captain and has now been stripped twice. He has no pride in the armband and should never play for our country again. More then likely Wayne Rooney will get the armband and he is nearly as bad as Terry. We should give the armband the Steven Gerrard until the world cup and then give it to someone like Jack Wilshere who can keep the armband for a long time The armband doesnt mean anything to Terry [video=youtube;hsNk4-cXJFI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hsNk4-cXJFI[/video] It was clear to see by watching this video how much the armband meant to David Beckham. He wore it with pride and was a brilliant captain, leader and role model for everyone
I don't understand why he keeps on getting picked for England - never mind that he is a **** of a person, he is a liability as a player as he can't run and gives away too many fouls. Should be dropped permanently as he is around 4 years past his use by date.
If the charges against Terry are proven then indeed he can never captain England again (the bit around should he ever play for England again is a different question) - but therein lies the issue - we hava a legal concept of 'innocent until proven' etc... - what baffles me is that this trial isn't being heard earlier ie before Euro 2012 - can't be a question of still need preparation time - the 'evidence' can't be much more than a few witnesses, a tape and a lip reader. You'd think the Government could have acted to accelerate it - why do I pay taxes! Your observations on Beckham are interesting - not least because straight after 'that game' against Argentina - he was generally vilified at every English football ground other than Old Trafford and a large number of England fans were demanding that he should never be allowed to play for his country again (let alone be considered a future captain) - is there a chance for redemption for JT? I pose the question only - personally I would have dropped him before he last World Cup - and purely for footballing reasons.
No chance of redemption because he isn't worthy of playing for England in the first place for footballing reasons. Ever wonder why full backs like Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines etc. don't play as well for England as they do for their clubs? - Reason is that they spend more time covering for Terry then actually playing. Terry needs a classy defender like Carvalho to cover up his mistakes - for England he has Cahill, Lescott etc who aren't that sort of players. Ironically the only player like Carvalho England have is Ferdinand - but he is a shadow of the player. BTW Wonder what will happen at the Chelsea v Man Utd match between them?
My only concern about this is that I feel JT has been hung out to dry and found guilty before he's had a chance to face a jury of his peers. Is JT a racist, I have my doubts considering all the other ethnic players that are around him daily. Yes JT is a spoilt rich footballing brat who clearly lets his penis do the thinking and no doubt he's a thug too, but BNP material, hmm well I'll wait and see. And on the subject, why isn't Diane Abbot facing a similar charge after all racism is a problem in all ethnic backgrounds, not just the white working class. My opinion, I couldn't care less what colour a player is as long as he gives his all for my club.
Nope, shouldn't have lost it, im in the "innocent till proven guilty" party. At the moment hes done nothing wrong, this is just the FA bowing down to pressure, this is the same way terrorism works.
Same way terrorism works? You have to explain how this compares to crashing planes into the twin towers for me.
Ashley Cole is an arsehole. He constant slags the country off, went ballistic that Arsenal only offered him 50K once, shot someone, cheated on Cheryl Cole, doesnt give a **** about the country or anyone He is now nothing more then a money grabbing media whore
A tweet from Rio Ferdinand I don't want to be england captain after the last episode,just want to concentrate on playin for utd&if I make the squad then as ever I'll be delighted I dont see how him and Terry could work anymore after Terry was racist to his brother. Plus i dont think as the tweet suggest Ferdinand was happy with how he lost the captaincy in the first place and he may hold something against Terry for that
Actually - she doesn't really do it for me ... not saying I'd kick her out of bed necessarily, but she will have to queue behind - Rachel Weiss, Nicole Sherzinger, Rhianna, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie. Kirsten Steward and Emily Blunt .. admittedly that's just my Friday night list - and I might need to sleep in on Saturday to recover .. could perhaps get round to Cherylon Saturday afternoon but that would interfere with the footie..
Look back at history - Billy Wright, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton etc great captains of England. Is John Terry fit be in that hallowed company? I don't think anyone needs me to give the answer to that one.

So why strip him of the Captaincy Basically says "we've taken it off him because he might be guilty" I hope hes found not guilty and gets a public apology from the FA. I wouldn't want to play for England again if they turned their backs on me.
I think it's best for the team that Terry isnt captain whilst having this hanging over his head. He should have stepped down himself but he hasnt an ounce of decency in him. He's a repugnant person of the highest order and has never been fit to wear the armband. In fact I dont think he's ever been the great captain people have made him out to be in the past. Next step, drop him from the squad (for footballing reasons obviously) Because he really isnt that great. Jagielka and Lescott were fantastic agaisnt Spain.
He didnt step down because the media would make it into a big story of how he is guilty. All the FA have done with this move is sway the jury towards the guilty verdict.
You make some good points - and the conspiracy theorists could have a field day with this - e.g and, for the avoidance of doubt, this is purely made up on my part right now - but let's say that you and a guy at your work just happen to be competing for a job as project team leader (the other guy is of mixed race parentage) - you get promoted but due to some 'difficulties' in your personal life (actually you have been humping seven sets out of the girlfriend of another work colleague on the potential project team - who also happens to be one of your best buddies). Anyway, it all hits the fan when she blabs to her mates etc that she is splitting up with your best bud and that you are partly to blame for filling a gap (or hole) in her 'life' that should have been reserved for your buddy. This starts to effect you at work and your boss decides to stand you down in the project team temporarily until all the fuss dies down. In the interim your old rival steps into the void. Time passes. Then it's time for a really big project and your bosses - who perhaps had reluctantly bowed to pressure to demote you from team leader in the first place, reinstate you, without even having the decency to speak to your old rival who now finds himself back on the periphery- and is left frustratingly bleating on twitter about how unfair his life is etc. Anyway the really big project turns out to be a complete and embarassing disaster anyway but time again passes. Your company then sends you to work at the offices of a related company where your old rival's younger brother coincidentally works - in a heated debate with the younger brother some sharp words are exchenged - is it at all possible that the younger broher might think - here's an opportunity for some payback and I've got an ace card to use ... something nobody can now ignore given recent events? Now, whilst I'm rather proud of the inventiveness of my little conspiracy theory - and actually nothing would surprise me in terms of JT - you can see that, if nothing else, this could be where the 'defence' might go with this - for me his time as a first choice England centre back is up anyway and its time that Wes Morgan and AN Other took up both spots.
