Good afternoon.
Life is full of uncertainties. That sounds an awful lot like an intro line from one of those insurance adverts. Perhaps subliminally implanted in my brain by unrelenting exposure to really awful telly. But in this life there can be little doubt about the ‘Terry gene.’
Son of a convicted charlie pusher – now born again football agent – husband and son in law to caution accepting shoplifters and most gut wrenching of all, brother to a quite possibly even more abhorrent version of himself. John Terry’s brother Paul Terry had a casual affair with his Rushden & Diamonds team mate Dale Roberts’ wife Lindsay Cowan. The discovery of which drove Roberts to hang himself last year.
The video footage of John Terry’s verbal volley to Anton Ferdinand has largely been removed from the Internet in what can only be described as an online ‘scorched earth policy.’ The Grauniad’s slo mo clip remains here and one has to ask if it was ‘overlooked’ as crucial frames are obscured by Ashley Cole’s head. Not the first time one might imagine that phrase has been used.
Terry was previously accused of making a racist remark in ‘that’ incident involving our very own Ledley King. On that occasion, Terry was rumoured to have told King, ‘Shut up you lippy black monkey.’ But it wasn’t the avalanche of self appointed lip reading experts that triggered the outrage, but the response of Tottenham’s coloured players.
King, Zokora and Chimbonda all went bonkers. Didier Drogba who has endless form for sticking his oar in to any ‘incident’ declined a gilt edged opportunity to get involved. Terry himself was given a red for the element of the incident that was to do with actual play, but curiously skulked off unusually quietly for an man that ordinarily screams when a throw in is awarded that he disagrees with.
On both occasions, Terry has issued swift statements that sought to gloss over the incidents. Lots of ‘Nah, you got it all wrong mate, we’ve been mates since we was kids. Nuffink in it, bruv.’ To the best of my knowledge King has yet to comment. To the best of my knowledge, Ferdinand has yet to comment.
If John Terry is not a racist pig dog then what incredibly bad cards this upright, decent chap is being dealt.
Terry, is one of a very few who are natural leaders in the England dressing room, he can make a good team better and he is passionately committed to St George. However this really is an embarrassment too far. He has talent but these gifts cannot be placed above the game. The game is more important than Terry.
not sure why you posted that 3 times, but anyway, we don’t need ‘leaders’ like that….especially if he is going to lead by example.
No,C’mon, of course Chelsea and England need a good leader. Rooney couldn’t find a brothel catering for his particular peccadilloes without guidance. Fans needed to be guided around the training ground before being relieved of their cash, all that takes leadership!
I owe you a :daumen: And well deserved I must say…

Is this what’s known as the Last Post? ;)
Kev, post it again – Just for shits & giggles.
Don’t encourage him Astro, for f*cks sake……
lol. Posting this from Lagos, where the Chelscum fan base has suddenly shrunk dramatically :-))
John Terry personifies every dullard that prefaces a racist statement with either “I’m not a racist but…” or “I’ve got a lot of black friends but…” or finishes a racist statement with “…No offence”, like it’s some kind of Monopoly get of jail free card.
Sadly, he’s a reflection of how the far right has appropriated the imagery of Britain & especially England and how the xenophobic far right media scaremonger about people ‘what are not us’… whatever they classify ‘us’ as.
Nasty piece of work in general but this is just vile. It’s 2011 FFS, didn’t we leave this kind of nonsense back with throwing bananas at John Barnes.
Even scarier is the fact that this chap has been held up as a ‘hero’ and ‘role model’ for years.
Why?, Coz he belts out the National Anthem with gusto!
FFS!!!…….
The sad fact is there are plenty out there who would believe the thug over Ferdinand if he did make a complaint.Even MOTD2 tried to brush it under the carpet.Mind you,they only highlighted it.Maybe its better to give the BBC some credit for bringing to more peoples attention?
I think there might have been some mischief at play in the MOTD studio. A bit like the ‘You might think that, I couldn’t possibly comment’ Francis Urquhart line.
I’d like to think so
bringing it to
Im sure in a normal court of law video evidence is a touch more conclusive that a statement by the accused saying he did not do it. Call me old fashioned.
You would think so, but apparently AVB has declared the matter ‘closed’ now. So that’s that then. I wonder what the Police will do now that they can’t investigate any further?.. What with AVB declaring it closed and all that.
I’m rapidly becoming of the opinion that Villas-Boas is the biggest c*nt of the lot of ’em.
Not bad going for someone who’s only been there ten minutes.
I’m not a racist but…
He’s not only a c**t, he’s a ginger c**t.
No offence :daumen:
Apparently he was a bit miffed at having 2 players sent off against poor, little neighbouring QPR.
The 1st one was technically a red card, and as for the 2nd, jeez……c’mon!
The stench of Mourinho Bullsh*t lives on at the second hand fridge.
@ Astro
You’re in the clear racism-wise. Ginger is not a race. It is a genetic defect
:devil:
Do you wear bloomers Aimee? If you do then I am more than happy to call you old fashioned….
