I really really hope he's banging the shit out of Cheryl Cole

I got told A LONG time ago it T'was Abby Clancy

Thats why she got sent home from Germany

Oh hold on was this the story that was a minute ago a mystery footballer?? cause the first thing I thought of was JT???

My Mate(who happens to be a Leeds fan  :D) is mates with Stephen Irelands agent and he sent me a mail this morning "Bit of news for you – wayne bridge to announce England team retirement – something to do with either John Terry or Mr Cole knobbing his wife –read all about it Sunday if his injunction fails...."

Of course it could be worse for JT. He could be caught taking £10k, via a dodgy agent, to show some people around Chelski's training ground.

I wish the papers would keep hold of this sort of stuff until after the World Cup.

meh - we want gossip and we want it NOW!

I enjoyed the comments below the story from women claiming this illustrates the decline in moral standards in this counrty and that he should be sacked.

Why blame the papers? If he didn't do it in the first place they'll be no story.

Can't blame him really.

Personally, I'd rather have 'news' of this nature hitting the fan during the next few months (in much the same way that if a player is going to get injured, I'd rather he did it now and not later on).  After that point, we'll be firmly World Cup Build Up mode - during which period revelations like this would cause a lot more damage.

"Gagging" order (snigger)


Sometimes I'm so childish I even surprise myself

I'm not blaming the anyone, merely wishing the papers would keep hold of it until we've crashed out of the WC in the quarters... then I can join the Daily Mail in hating him too.

At the moment, I couldn't care less who he's poking as long as he doesn't injure himself whilst doing it.

Tee hee, I sniggered at that too :)

Talking of the Daily Mail, I feel dirty quoting this...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1246974/John-Terry-named-star-affair-Wayne-Bridges-ex-girlfriend-Vanessa-Perroncel.html

but it looks as if it's Wayne Bridge's ex-lady friend that's involved.

Well done, JT.  Leading by example as captain in helping to build morale before the summer.

What an idiot.

The 606 key prodders must be camped out on the Chelsea site, soon as a comment goes up it's off again.

That article gives the impression that Bridge had finished with her before Terry got busy with it, so I can't see Bridge having that big a problem with it - though he might not be too impressed I guess.

Captain of Chelsea, England, paid a fortune, married, two kids and then he starts dicking a team mate's ex-missus. Who the fuck does something that stupid? Complete and utter twat.

Time to strip him of the England armband and give it to someone else - Rooney would be first on my list, as he seems to have got his shit together recently.

Pfft old granny fancier? Great choice.

rooney? england captain? no fucking chance.

Who else is there though?

Lampard maybe? No one else I can think of.

And to be fair to Rooney if his only bad mark is porking grannies, it makes him an angel compared to the rest of them.

Fabio Capello quote about Rooney from a couple of months ago....

Rooney is a hothead. I'd rather have Lampard as captain.

Not bothered tbh, watching england is akin to cutting toenails for me, couldn't care less about any of the players or how we do in the world cup. All up their own arses, well not terry obviously, he's been up someone else's if stories are to be believed!

To be fair Rooney is the only English player worthy of being captain this year anyway based on performances

Terry just wants to be like Gurney!

so he fucked someones wife-girlfriend.let's hang the bastard eh?

It's not just that though, the thick sod, keeps doing stupid stuff. No ones saying hang him, just he needs to sort himself out in the position he is in. It's no wonder the country ney planet is going down the toliet, with half brained idiots like him being lauded all the time.

he's just a normal bloke who happens to play football for a job.as long as he plays well for england, who gives a shit who he shags

His missus maybe...or maybe his kids?....he was the one who wanted a gagging order....at least be a man about it.

To be fair Arriba he is the one who keeps saying what a changed man he is etc.Why is Cole a cunt btw in the other thread ;)

the next England captain should obviously be ex Swindon player James Milner.

cause he's a money grabbing cunt, who fucked a dirty rough slut, when he had a stunner at home

because Cole is ex-Arsenal and arriba is a gooner.

...but...then I think that was what you were implying anyway?

We talking Cole or Terry here :)

of course he was and i take it in the manner it waas meant.lightheartedly
this so called gooner is going to southend tomorrow.are you?

nope, working till 2. Otherwise I'd be there.

I don't care what Terry has done unless it affects out chances at the WC. He's a man, and many men do what he's done on a daily basis.

I agree with it being said Rooney should be captain if Terry isn't anymore. The bloke cares, and gets worked up, much like Shearer did, and that should only make the rest of the team work harder. Lead by example. But in all honesty, i have no feelings on whether Terry remains captain or not.

Rooney cant be captain.  We will never win the cup under that goon (genius footballer but goon all the same).  A player back chatting, swearing and fouling like he does when worked up will always be in trouble when he comes up against foreign refs.  I dont even back him to get through the tournament.

Rooney has been sensational this season.....making him captain could calm his goony ways.

we aint gonna win whoever is skipper.

FFS stop all this lah di dah fucking shit you bunch of knobbers !


I for one would would administer some serious internal damage

As if she'd let you...

Johnny you Gaylord twat


I bet if she worked in your department and came to work looking like that you would complain to the management about sexual harassment.


Sometimes mate you are a fucking cock


You would smash the shit out of it and you know it !

she wouldn't get a fucking say in the matter

Call me old fashioned (or a gaylord twat) but when you're England captain and married with kids, going in for sloppy seconds on a team mates ex bird isn't acceptable. Makes it even worse that he tried to keep it out of the press solely to protect his image and sponsorship deals - if he was that worried about it, he shouldn't have played away from home.

Its not like its the first time he's done something fucking stupid either. He's more than happy using the England captaincy to enhance his earnings from sponsorship deals, so I don't think expecting him to act the part is asking too much.

He is a cunt, a twat and should be stripped of the captaincy - then he can go and fuck whoever he wants.

You really need to go and get some sort of fucking life Reverend

Its a good point Johnny makes though. - galyord or Reverend or not.

if it was on a plate and begging to be fucked you can't blame terry really.
well actually you can, but i dont

I'd high 5 JT for this, nice work my son.

I blame Wayne Bridge - if he had a fat, ugly missus Terry wouldn't have had a go.

Bridge is a cunt.

Terry's an ugly fucker though isn't he.  Why cant he open his eyes properly?

I'd high-5 Bridge for getting there first...

Good point there. Bet he was'nt the first tho!

If i had a go i would be high 5'ing myself

I think John Terry should resign as England captain because he shagged a hot french model.

He should be replaced by Wayne Rooney, who only shagged an old prostitute.

[url width=280 height=184]http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00000/rooney_03_280x184_194a.jpg[/url]

Or perhaps Steven Gerrard, who despite CCTV evidence and all of his mates pleading guilty, was COMPLETELY INNOCENT of beating the shit out of a guy in a bar.

I think we crossed the line of the England team mostly being made up of arseholes a long time ago.

summed up my feeling completely

Wasn't Terry voted 'father of the year' recently?! which is a fucking joke itself.

Good thing about this, is at last someone has challenged a super injunction and won, presumably can we have the one about Phil Brown lifted now as well?

Shock in Footballer doing something stupid and thinking he won't get found out!

zzzzzzzzz

When will these muppets ever learn?  The truth always comes out! 

I thought that was Avram Grant?

It could be, I was going on this by the Daily Mail

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1238377/Brothel-soccer-boss-named-Wikipedia--press-reveal-identity.html

When I checked at the time the only one with a change in his Wikipedia entry was Phil Brown

Exactly. Sadly I kind of take it as read that most "top players" are utter wankers (although I'm sometimes pleasantly surprised to read something about some that proves the exception). I don't want to invite Terry to meet my family, I want him to lead England to victory in South Africa.

Surely this kind of stuff must affect the way a player performs (on the pitch).

Taking John Terry as an example. He knows the sordid details are going to be all over the News of the World (or whatever) on Sunday, opposing fans / players will be using it for abuse / chants, his missus will be giving him hell, his kids are likely to hear something which they most likely won't understand, he might be staring divorce in the face, maybe more birds he's shagged will come forward, he might have got VD or one of them pregnant, inevitable loss of sponsorship deals and so the list goes on.

How can he not be affect by at least some part of it? Which can only be bad news for the World Cup.

The England team is just a microcosm of the country we live in. And, to be honest, maybe that's how it should be...

Brawlers, adulterers, petulant teenagers, a few London blingers. Perfect.

And for the record, who gives a shit what John Terry has done. If you're seriously questioning this guy's morals then you need to get out more.

If we are relying on John Terry to win then we're fucked anyway.If it was Rooney that would be different,he's the only world class player we have at the moment.

I agree Adje. I'm worried Rooney is going to lose this amazing form by June. He's on fire at the moment and has been class this season for Utd.

He's no Tiger Woods is he!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Avram_Grant&diff=334841632&oldid=334225739

In green, down the right.

.....apart from Michael Owen of course

I expect he's worse just the other girls weren't famous or going out with anyone famous enough to care!!

More to come tomorrow, in true classic tabloid style.

I'm suprised they didn't sit on it until June.

talk of Terry being dropped by England/dropped as captain is never going to happen, hes alot more important to England than Wayne Bridge, would be a different story if he had been drilling Coleen and Rooney issued a him or me plea to Capello

Sorry, but that made me laugh......

Wayne Bridge sent his misses a replica of his cock made out of cadburys, but she said she prefers terrys!

Sorry, but that made me laugh......

That Max Clifford is a sleazy,fukin peedy,greedy,shirtlifting,ugly,grey haired prick......love to put a shovel in his face...slime who grabs at any opportunity to fill his pockets...with no thaught about anyone who may detest the shite that gets published...ie the wife and kids...alots been said about Terry and rightly so....but i wouldnt piss on this woman or Clifford if they were on fire.

Indeed, the man has no morals

What are the chances of The Sun dropping him from their World Cup build up team ?


Thats right ............


Absolutely fuck all !

Indeed. You know the subject is after the £££ when they employ Clifford as a publicist.

As for JT and calls for him being sacked as England/Chelsea captain - who gives a fuck about his private life. Its not nice for his family, but its their problem to work out.

As somebody pointed out earlier, im suprised it wasnt held until the day of the first game.

Anyway, fair play to him for giving that bird one

Exactly. It's just soap opera style tabloid bollocks. So he cheated on his misses and did a nice bird? Good on him. To strip him of his captaincy would be pathetic, what is Capello, moral enforcer? I think most of his team mates will be completely indifferent to his sexual activites, although may quietly respect him for his conquest. :)

Instigate a fight & get your mates to beat up a guy in a bar (no problem Stevie).

Shag some fit bird, let's drop him & kick him out of football.

Total bollocks, he's a footballer it's not his job to uphold the moral fibre of the country, it's his job to help his team win football matches.

Outside of his family the only person who has grounds to be outraged is Wayne Bridge.
However if he gives England an ultimatum of it's Terry or me, then he can stay here during the Summer.

I'd imagine most of the England squad are desparate for Terry to retain his place - if only so he travels to SA with them, last thing they'll want is him staying at home, sniffing round their WAGs

Absolutely 100% spot onn

As captain you're supposed to lead the team on and off the pitch. How many of the other players will want Terry leading them or will have respect for him, as they'll always have it in the back of their minds that he could be giving their missus some on the side.

Plus its not like he's come forward, put his hand up and said "sorry, I fucked up" is it. The only remorse he is showing is for the lucrative sponsorship deals he might be losing as a result of it.

If a friend of mine cheated on his misses, i wouldn't give a fuck. What's to say the team will? I personally think no member of his team could careless. A fair few probably even knew about it. I doubt bridge is even that bothered. It was his ex after all.

And if they're worried about Terry shagging their birds behind their backs, they've not got much trust in their misses and probably need to grow up a bit. It's not like he's some sort of Don Juan.

And why show remorse? It's what lots of men do and I no more think it requires a showing of remorse than I do Wayne Bridge issuing a fatwa.

You might give a fuck if it was your missus or maybe your sister....or maybe your father?
This does involve someones missus...Terrys,...and it involves someones father ....his twins father,hes only been married 3 years....its not what alot of men do Barry...ime no Angel nore are my mates....but i cant think of any of my friends whos fucked around after 3 years of marriage.
Stop making excuses for him,hes fucked up and acted like a little kid tryin to hide it from us....if you want to be England captain you act like it.....om and off the pitch.

Of course, but this isn't about my family, it's about Terry's and that's not my problem. I'm not put on this earth to empathise with a family that may or may not be broken up, like the thousands of others that are every year, because he's an England footballer and the papers think this is "news".

Look, his family will come out of it a damn site better off than a lot of children in broken families and how his children and wife feel bothers me in no way shape or form, it's life. He can do what the fuck he wants is what i'm getting at, because like pauld said, "I don't want to invite Terry to meet my family, I want him to lead England to victory in South Africa."

Btw, i'm not having a go or getting angry at you leefer, just explaining my reasons for not giving a fuck. :)

Leefer, as long as he can motivate the team on the pitch and in the changing room, and results don't suffer, it really doesn't matter if he is a grade A wankstain.

Capello should only do anything about this if he thinks that results would be worse with Terry as captain than without.

Was Beckham captain when his affair became public knowledge? I'm guessing he was, can't remember any of this sort of stuff.

I'm with the moral minority johnny72 on this. There seems to be an assumption here that it will have no affect on the team - this remains to be seen. The problem is who could you give the captaincy to - Stevie Middleweight G. Frank L - oops - a few trangressions here. Wayne Rooney - at least Terry didn't go on a "grab a granny" night and still had to pay for a portion. How about Rio - drug test avoiding with an IQ of a carrot. Or Ashley - fuck a minger when I've got Cheryl keeping my bed warm - maybe he is a nine bobber. Then we have David James - oh, also an adulterer - thank you Friends Reunited. Or how about Glen Johnson - stealer of bog seats from B&Q and intellectually on a par with Rio - and a carrot. Or Emile Heskey - another adulterer.
That leaves Gareth Barry or Joe Cole - the latter having the IQ of Rio, Johnson and that carrot.
Well maybe the Canadian Hun Hargreaves can get fit - at least you can trust a Hun to socre from the penalty spot.

Wait a second, David James is a bad guy as well? I had him down as the only member of the England team I quite liked. Arse.

Sorry, went back for 2nds with a bird from school while still married and left his wife for her. If you repeat this trick three or four times ( exclude the school bit ) then you can call yourself David " nice guy " Seaman

Everyones got there opinions.....mine is the England football captain should have some moral fibre...hes cheated and lied....not a hangable offence of course..a great footballer yes but lets face it football should be doing all it can to clean up its image at present......i will have a tad more respect for him if he does the honourable thing................BARRY..saying oh it wasnt my family so it dosnt matter is pants!!......but ime not angry at you either,just my point of view.

At the end of the day my opinion is that he can do what he likes in his private life. If you're married and been shagging a bird from your office for example would you be sacked? Probably not as you are not breaching company policy etc. OK it's morally wrong to do it and he is a dick for cheating but it clearly didn't affect his performance this weekend so why should he be stripped of the captaincy?

I presume this is all based on Judaeo–Christian ethics and morals - maybe he's a Neopagan or atheist in which case it's OK - all depends on your religion/philosophy does it not?

"Wayne Bridge sent his missus a replica of his penis made from Cadburys chocolate.......she said that she 'prefers Terrys'."

Max Clifford was spouting off about this on GMTV this morning. Just made me want to smach the smug cunt around the face.

Max Clifford, like cockroaches, can survive nuclear mayhem.

Personally I don't see what the big hoo-ha is? Ok the guy is a knob and morally it is wrong but footballing wise he has done nothing to lose the England Captancy. You should be judged for what you do on the pitch not off it. I don't condone who it is but as mentioned above if you were sleeping with a co-workers girlfriend should you be demoted? You have done nothing wrong at work. I guess the only thing is people would look up to Terry as a role model fair enough but I wouldn't want Gerrard, Ferdinand or Lampard (Gerrard and Lampard should be no where near the England team anyway given the fact they work hard for their team and do bugger all for England.

I completely disagree.  He's the Captain.  Along with Capello, he needs to hold the dressing room together and has to know that each and every one of his players will follow his lead without question.  I don't think he'll be able to do that any more.

Where your analogy starts to fall down is that if I slept with a work colleague, I wouldn't have my picture splashed across the front of just about every national tabloid for the next week.  My private life wouldn't be dissected by the gutter press and I wouldn't have papparazzi parked outside my house.  John Terry's life now resembles a pantomime.  Nothing is off limits...and I don't think he'll be able to carry on as Captain while things are like that.

The bit that really made me question Terry's judgement was this:


Yeah, because Heather Mills and Gordon Ramsay have such unblemished reputations don't they - as credentials go that's up there with "lists Pol Pot and Gary Glitter among his satisfied clients" :)

Who is Wayne Bridges ex?

I think Archbishop John Sentanu should be England captain. As the Archbishop of York, he's the morally upright, media-friendly figure that English football have been looking for.

Despite the fact that he's 60 years old and never played football, I'd pencil him for a holding role in central midfield, allowing Lampard to break forward and support Rooney. We may have to drop Barry or Gerrard to accommodate him in this role.

The only problem I can foresee is that he's also got to be Prime Minister, all of the Cabinet, the England Cricket captain, presenter of Strictly Come Dancing and Governor of the Bank of England.

If we want people in all of these roles to be morally unimpeachable, he's going to have to juggle his calendar.

The requirement for moral impeachability (or at least credibility) is, sadly, in addition to the requirement for footballing talent...not instead of it.

Shame. I was about to suggest the Archbishop of Canterbury as a big target man in the Heskey role.

I think the Irish example shows you should perhaps be more wary in holding up members of the clergy as upstanding moral characters!

Well he missed out on big Maxy, didn't he.......

Yeah, but surely he's only ever gonna get involved when something goes wrong anyway, so it's inevitable his client list is gonna look like a who's who of cunts?

Excellent point. To add to that:

Didnt Lampard split up with his bint because he cheated?
Ashley cole must be the thickest man alive to cheat on his mrs
Sven fucked anything with a pulse whilst in charge

I'm sure there are other players who've been up to no good in addition to those.

All this morality is total shit. If we are only having "ethical" players in the England team, then we aint going to be fielding much of a side in South Africa.

The only place to draw the line is with serious criminal offences, and frankly theres a precedent for that being ignored after Tony Adams captained England a few years after being done for drink driving.

And don't forget that bracelet that Bobby Moore nicked* in Colombia back in 1970

*allegedly, and never offically charged, but it did make a good song at the time

Terry shouldve have asked both women for a threesome.

Fool if he didnt

That would of been a Bridge too far.

I'd like to fire Clifford from a cannon at Piers Morgan.

Absolutely. There are so many footballers shagging round when they already have a girlfriend, it's almost a requisite for being a footballer. That and motoring offences.

Rio got done for drink driving years back and he's captained England. Nobody took the moral high ground probably because they'd forgotten about it or didn't know. He's been done for serious speeding as well. We should leave it to Capello to manage the team as he sees fit, he knows what he's doing.

Sorry Todd,cant agree.....you have to have a moral high ground for people entrusted with the England captains job,everyone knows JT will never be a saint but millions of young people look to him for leadership......for me trying to gag the press was shocking,the press for years have printed all of JT,s virtues on and off the pitch...the great displays and all the brilliant charity work and rightly so....but he wants to gag the same people when the going gets tough,smacks of cowardice and arrogance to me.....it wasnt the shagging around what upsets people its the way hes tried to hide it......just imagine all this shit coming out during the world cup.
Oh and if two people are going to shag around use a condom eh?...not create a life and bin it for fuks sake..great image that is for young people that is!

He got dropped at the time for that though by god botherer Hoddle even though it was the morning after and despite that the England team contained piss-heads Merson and Adams. It's the kind of hypocritical nonsense that happens when people start moralising - first stones and all that.

who actually gives a shit?

leefer

Sorry leefer, while I agree it would be nice if people could look up to top footballers as role models those days are long gone (insofar as they ever existed). Most celebs (whether footballers, pop stars, TV stars, reality TV skanks, politicians or whatever) these days are gutter slime and anyone looking to use them as role models is deluded at best, a moron at worst. If you want role models for your kids, provide your own example (not you personally, leefer, although I'm sure you are a fine role model), don't look to the likes of Terry, Gerrard, Rooney, Cole and so on to do it for you.

It's not a question of choosing to use someone such as John Terry (or any other celebrity) as a role model, they simply already are role models whether you like it or not. Kids look up to people like that, want to be them when they grow up and will take how they act, dress, talk or whatever on board.

The role of England captain is a prominent and high profile position. Whoever holds the role needs to act the part and John Terry hasn't.

Obviously the majority of Premier League footballers act like cunts nowadays, but a large part of the reason they do is because we allow them to by funding their lifestyle and not batting an eyelid when they get caught spit roasting a group of drunk 18 year olds. Not only do we allow them to but we practically give them a pat on the back and say what a laugh they are.

Right. Just as they also look up to bad role models in films etc. That's what being a parent is about, to correct that - don't expect John Terry or John Leslie to bring your kids up for you.

Courtesy of The Sun, a few of them made me laugh....

- JT has signed up to star in a new TV show. It's called Other Footballers' Wives.

- Ashley Cole was caught doing 104mph in a 50mph zone. When questioned by police as to why he was speeding, he said: "l've just heard JT is parked outside my house!"

- England manager Fabio Capello phoned Wayne Bridge and said: "JT's lost the captain's armband. Can you do me a favour and have a good look under your bed for it?"

- What have Wayne's ex-missus and the 2008 Champions League final goalpost got in common? They've both been banged by JT.

- Bridge refuses to play for England while John Terry's captain...let's hope he starts cheating with Heskey's missus too.

Maybe that's the problem. In other countries the role of captain isn't a big deal. There was a thing in the paper yesterday that Capello is baffled by all the fuss. In Italy, it goes to the senior player and rotates a lot, so no-one cares.

Don't forget (whilst we're making the list), that Rio "missed" a drugs test and Ashley Cole is Ashley Cole.

Isn't it just the person with the most caps that gets it in most countries?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/chelsea/article7011721.ece
*it may be that he struggles to see past the way of things in Italy, where they tend simply to give the role to the most experienced player in the side. In other countries, the players have a vote.*

*Asked what the captaincy meant yesterday, one player replied: “About half a million pounds.” *

What?  The reason no-one bats an eyelid at the roasting of fit 18 year olds is because anyone with half an ounce of sense says "fair play"  I'd have had more STD's than I had hot dinners if I was a 23 year old muti-millionaire with girls falling at my feet.

What an outrage - man tries to hide something that makes him look a dick.

So far these players have been named as having had "indiscretions" of one kind or another so far in this thread.

John Terry
Rio Ferdinand
Steven Gerrard
Frank Lampard
Ashley Cole
David James
Wayne Rooney
David Beckham
Glen Johnson

(I'm sure theres more as well)

Johnson excepted, that reads like a list of our best players to me.

So... Leefer and Jonny - who should captain England if Terry is unsuitable on moral grounds?  In fact should any of these be allowed to play at all?  Should we get some Championship standard family men to represent England at the world cup?

Austin for England!

Presuming jfw doesn't tempt him away from his girlfriend anyway :D

Best add Beckham to that list as well.

The issue is that Terry did it whilst England captain and that what he did could affect the team as it involved another player. He then compounded it by lying and trying to wriggle out of it, rather than coming clean and apologising to everyone concerned. He simply hasn't acted in the way the captain should.

I said before I'd make Rooney captain.

who fucks 50 year old prozzies

Statement or question?

He admitted it, sorted it out with his missus, no children involved, no abortion involved, was only 19 at the time, wasn't captain of England at the time, happened 6 years ago, hadn't just accepted a father of the year award, no team mates involved etc.

Thats clearly morally better than fucking a former team mates fit ex

Some married bloke dicks around with another bird, who was the ex of a bloke he occasionally works with.

Hold the front page!

What a pathetic excuse for a story.

And by the way, anyone who seriously thinks that footballers are held up as role models  are in need of serious help. Admired for their ability? Yes. Envied for their wealth? You bet! Taken as a template for morality and virtue? Fuck off.

Even kids know most footballers are thick twats with no class.

Bollocks. Thats like saying drink driving is ok as long as you didnt kill anyone and were sorry afterwards.

Plus, he was boosting the local economy. Give the man a medal.

Hang on, now you're saying that what Rooney did wasn't acceptable?

Wouldn't that mean that what Terry did wasn't acceptable either?

Quite.

Actually what repulsed me a little bit is Reading about this women Wayne Bridges ex she's being made out to be a serial celeb/WAG wannabe - apprently she started off by dating Lee from Steps then got a job working at a club the players frequent started using the gym they use etc etc podged a few Chelsea players then snared Wayne Bridge and had his baby so set for life really - looking at photos I can't see she's all that really?? I know anyones going to look huge stood next to Cheryl Cole but???
The sad thing is this is how alot of girls would love to live there lives? Set out to bag a footballer spend his money on trying to look perfect then get cheated on approx once a week anyway but put up with it cause they are a "footballer"
it's pretty sad really  :(   

I believe earlier in this thread I suggest Archbishop of York John Sentamu. Still by far the best choice, though lacking pace and an instinct for the killer through pass.

Yep. I'm crying on the inside.

Shut it you! Sarckie boy! I was trying my best at a serious piece of writing!  :-[

Let's put the "Father of the Year" stuff in context before using it as a stick to beat Terry with.

It's organised and awarded by Daddies Sauce. Peter Andre came second.

It's hardly the fucking Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

OMG! You mean Terry also violated the sacred majesty of the Daddies Sauce Father of the Year Award as well as the England captaincy (which as we all know is rightly accepted as one of the final pre-requisites for beatification by the Vatican). Surely burning at the stake is too good for this blackguard?

Racist.    :)  (See what I did there?  I broke my no-smiley rule.)

If it was Daddies Sauce, shouldn't that be "at the burnt steak" ?

for all we know terry might have actually fallen for the bird.and it wasn't even bridges mrs anymore so terry should be left alone.yeah he played away but so what?i reckon at least 50% of the british population have played away.does that mean they can't do their jobs anymore?

i've tried to avoid this but people keep going on about it, can someone just evaluate in a few lines whats actually happened here, i get that JT had an affair, so what.

That's about it Chubbs.

I think someone should set up a poll to see how many on here have 'played away' before. (Anonymously, obviously!)

I reckon it would be over 50%, if everyone's honest.

some people would consider a kiss cheating,so it's not easy to define. people would lie too i think

It turns out that not all England players are paragons of moral virtue. This has come as a shock to some of our more delicately minded contributors.

hahaha PaulD said OMG!

I guess we don't know for sure but the picture the Mirror painted was that....

Bridge and his bird went through a long messy break up after his move to Man City. Terry was his best mate and supported him during the break up. Unknown to Bridge, Terry was also there for his bird at the same time. Terry then had an affair with her and got her pregnant. Bridge feels his best mate stabbed him in the back. Terry has been shagging anything with a pulse for years. Strong suggestion an associate of Terry threatened one of his ex's with violence if she told the press of the affair. Terry's go to chat up line is "nice tits, fancy a shag?", even more amazing - it works.

Not to mention how he got this 'super' injunction against the press from reporting it so that it would not be fully out in public, obviously it then got overturned.

I am of the opinion that if Terry had not bothered about this super injunction held his hands up admit to shagging around appologise publically to his wife admit he was wrong then it probably would have made the papers for 1 or 2 days and then been dropped, but now as he tried to block the press reporting it they are going to be digging up as much dirt as they can possibly find - it's been reported that Bridge's ex bird has been offered 250k to sell her story - and she will obviously now do it to the higher bidder, and I'm sure she will 'enhance' her story.

usually works for me

Thing he's he's the perfect example of someone who is a funny looking oafy bloke who would never pull in a million years if he wasn't a wealthy footballer! 

OMG! So I did  :-[

How does it feel to be turning into me??  :D

Interviewer: What would you be if not a footballer Peter?

Peter Crouch: A Virgin.

Best reply ever, at least he admits it :D

and hangs out of the fittest wag of them all.lucky guy indeed

JT has signed up to star in a new TV show. It's called Other Footballers' Wives.

Ashley Cole was caught doing 104mph in a 50mph zone. When questioned by police as to why he was speeding, he said: "l've just heard JT is parked outside my house!"

England manager Fabio Capello phoned Wayne Bridge and said: "JT's lost the captain's armband. Can you do me a favour and have a good look under your bed for it?"

So JT was sleeping with Wayne Bridge's girl. Poor old Wayne - he wasn't even first choice with his missus.

It's a good thing JT doesn't bring all his girlfriends to watch him play every match. Abramovich would have to increase the capacity of Stamford Bridge by 20,000

Newsflash just in: "Bridge close to collapsing in Manchester. Support needed."

So JT has been caught stealing another man's girl. I bet his old mum will be so proud he's learned something from her.

Somebody bought me a box of Terry's All Gold. I was shocked to find new chocs called French Fancy and Cheat Cluster.

What have Wayne's ex-missus and the 2008 Champions League final goalpost got in common? They've both been banged by JT.

The England team have voted for Terry to keep his place in the World Cup squad. With the ban on WAGs travelling to South Africa, no one wants him left behind.

(To the tune of Lord Of The Dance) "Chelsea, wherever they may be, "Don't leave your bird with John Terry.

"Cos he likes a shag, he likes a bit of fluff, "And he'll get your missus up the duff!"

Did you know JT has scored 28 times at the Bridge? Nah, nor did Wayne.

What's John Terry's favourite song? Under The Bridge.

Bridge refuses to play for England while John Terry's captain...let's hope he starts cheating with Heskey's missus too.

Wayne asked Vanessa Perroncel if she'd ever cheated on him. She confessed she had - three times. "THREE!" He cried. "When?"

She said: "Remember no one would give you a mortgage, then the bank manager came to see me and agreed it? Then the time you needed that leg operation and it was too tricky so the doc refused - until he came to see me and then you were sorted?

"Then the third time was when you really, really wanted to be made captain of Chelsea and you were those ten votes short... "

I'm signing up for bums and tums and an eyebrow waxing first thing tomorrow

Perming Paul - eyelash perming!!!

Have you seen my eyebrows???

You're right, Avram Grant it was. Only one more anonymous footballer to go

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/news/7151797/Avram-Grant-Premier-League-bosss-brothel-visit.html

I liked the pictures on TV last night of all the press hounding Capello at the airport and in front of his house - what do they expect him to say "Terry has been putting it about a bit and as such I have decided to ban him from the england team to protect the female fan's in the crowd"

dropped as el capitan apparently...

sacked
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1248816/John-Terry-sacked-England-Captain-showdown-manager-Fabio-Capello.html

Sorry for linking to the Mail, but they seem have got the story first.

Oh well! you snooze - you loose!

Heard it here first - JT has been sacked as captain

Maybe you didn't!!!!!!  nevermind.

Ridiculous decision, Terry did nothing wrong at work (playing football) to lose the captancy. Give the captancy to Rooney will take his mind off the game. Either Carragher (who wont come out of retirement) or Beckham as Captain please, either would be a huge influnence. Love him or hate him Becks is stil the most influencial England player, it may be seen as a backward step but he could rally the troops after all this silly bollocks. Let him go out on top.

If Gerrard or Lampard, 2 players who play well for their clubs but do fuck all for England get it, I won't be happy.

Rio is always injured...... Rooney it is then???

EARLY ODDS

Wayne Rooney 3.05
Steven Gerrard 5.4
Rio Ferdinand 7.4
Frank Lampard 13.5
Gareth Barry 22.0
David Beckham 30.0

carragher as england captain? You sure Gazza?!

Gaz thats more bollocks than normal, Carragher is woeful his form this season has made him look well past his best.  Not good enough for a call up, let alone the captaincy.  Whatever people think about what Terry has done at the very least what he did would of put doubt in his team mates minds on whether they can trust him, he has also created a media circus taking the shine off an excellent qualifying campaign.  I think stripping him of the captaincy and keeping him in the squad is the best outcome.  I would like to see Rooney captain as he will give more than any player and drive the team on.

I see John Terry has been caught hiring out his personal box at Wembley, which he gets at a substantial discount (or for free) as England captain and which he was expressly forbidden to hire out. Why the fuck would he do something like that when all he gets from it is £4k?

Not the first time he's done something dodgy for a few quid and he always demands payment in cash. Has he got money problems or something? Or a gambling problem? Something dodgy about it.

Rooney for captain, giving him the responsibility will hopefully calm him down a bit like it did with Beckham.

Apparently is a heavy gambler and is trying to get out of the contract for the box twice this season.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1248816/John-Terry-sacked-England-Captain-showdown-manager-Fabio-Capello.html

He did prostitute the captaincy to make himself a few extra quid (because £170k a week can hardly be expected to keep the wolf from the door). That concerns me far more than doing Bridge's missus

meh, I really dont care about this at all.

gone are the days I cared for the England national team.

Gareth Barry was Villa captain for years and doesnt make headlines, gets on with his business. Maybe he is the right choice but I suppose isnt a guarenteed starter.

Perhaps we should have someone who is equally respected and revered by management, fellow professionals and fans alike..............Ashley Cole !!!!  :yikes:

see...it could be worse !

Anyway in Capello we trust !

Full Capello statement here, looks like Rio is the new captain then.                   http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8495604.stm

To get us through the WC I think it should be a steadying influence like Gerrard who commands respect, I think it is still too early for Rooney - need someone at this point in time with a bit of experience, make Rooney vice captain if needs be

Read the above quote in my earlier post from Capello, would seem from that Rio as captain and Gerrad vice captain.

Bollocks Gazza. Terry's personal life is of course up to him, but he has crossed an unspoken line within the dressing room - there's potential of disharmony. Capello has clearly taken this decision to firstly stamp his authority and secondly maintain dressing room harmony.

Terry ultimately has acted like a tit and he should take the consequences of that, if he can't well he's the wrong captain.

i agree Terry shouldnt be captain because as Capello's statement suggests its in the teams best interests so it looks like him being captain would cause a split so i agree with Capello.
He hasnt actually done alot wrong, ok he cheated on his missus which pretty much every footballer has done. Bridge wasnt actually with this bird at the time so she was single as was Bridge, so there were calls for him to be sacked just for cheating on his missus? What about Gudjohnsen he cheated on his missus with this bird why no big fuss?

Hahahahahaha

You can argue the logic and the fairness of it all you like, but I think John Terry is an arse and I am glad to see him get his.

Not just that though other reports suggesting he was renting out the executive box he was given as England captain for all sporting events at Wembley which is against rules.  Apparently he was renting this out at 4k a event to help pay off huge gambling debts.  There could be alot more dirty laundry aired about Terry before this is all over.

As they said on Mock the Week last night:

Terry is a drunken, cheating, womanising lout. Perfect to represent England. :D

This debate is about the England cpataincy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Gujohnsen was England captain at the time.

Now confirmed. Rio Captain and Gerrard Vice Captain.

80% bollocks on here remember!

Anyone who knows ANYTHING about football knows that if the full back leaves a hole - it's the centre half's job to fill it.

 :clap:

Has anybody told Fabio?

What Rio 'I forgot to take a drug test' Ferdinand is England captain??!!!

Rio captain? Fucking hell we may as well not fly to SA.

He'll probably forget to go.

The Sun from December 4th last year

Headline reads "I've let my wife down, I've let my family down." - a headline about Tiger Woods. You couldn't make it up

ITV had Capello's no comment as their top News story tonight.

What the fuck are they doing? Just leave the man alone. Complete non story, who writes their scripts? 13 year olds.

I hope John Terry feels ashamed watching Capello get hounded. His position was clearly untenable and he should have resigned for the good of the team and so that Capello didnt get hounded outside his house for weeks on end. Reporters looking for a comment when there is no comment to make! Media fuckwits.

I haven't been suffed to follow this non-story or read much of the thread.

From what I have, I agree with Paul D, anybody's personal life, no matter who they are or what they do, is their own and none of anybody else's business. If it affects their professional ability or integrity to do the job then that's their's to deal with and their manager's or supervisor's to take a view on. The England captain or someone who shifts boxes in a warehouse, it makes no difference.

A load of over hyped bollocks to sell media and continue the brainless distraction from the real world problems with 'celebrity'.

Spot on. This shit on the front pages of all the tabs (and a few proper papers, I might add) is really getting on my nerves.

Course it makes a difference...anyone who thinks that is talking shite in my humble....the bloke is looked upon by millions of young people...they look up to him....are you saying that if for example he was a peado or that he knifed someone  his personal life shouldnt matter....course it would.
Are you saying Cappello is wrong?...he made the decision in 12 mins to fire him and thank fuck he did....if you dont like what the papers say fair enough...dont read it...Terry earns more in a month than some do in a lifetime,thats just for Chelsea....great footballer yes,but in todays world box packing and great footballers are worlds apart...and to say different is really bollox.....i for one want a captain who shows abit of moral fibre...who the fuk does he think he is taking out injuctions...call me old fashioned if you want folks.

Who is the moral fibre choice, sorry? I'd be more inclined to agree with you if Terry was unrepresentative of footballers as a whole.

we now have a england captain who forgot to go to his drugs test(wink wink) and is a convicted drink driver.
i really dont give a flying fart as the national team is a load of shit as far as i'm concerned,but terry didn't break the law.he just fucked his mates ex mrs.whoopee do

Hold your horses my friend.

This man has done nothing illegal. He is not a convicted paedophile and he has not committed assault or GBH. Shagging someone's ex is not against the law. Therefore it has nothing to do with you or me.

If you are talking about being a 'role model' and it is important that he should live up to whatever that is then I think you live in a fantasy world. That is just celebrity bullshit. It has nothing whatsoever to do with ethics, personal morality or everyday life.

Going from the newspaper reports there was more to it that just shagging Bridge's ex. They reckoned Bridge and Terry were best mates and that Terry helped him during the prolonged break up. Unknown to Bridge, at the same time Terry was shagging his ex as well.

Not against the law, nothing to do with you or me but Bridge wasn't impressed by it which could create issues within the England camp. The captain should be keeping the peace, not kicking shit off.

It's such a tedious debate though isn't it? You'll always get people heading for the moral high ground while others wonder what it has to do with football. Both sides have a fair argument.

What Terry did isn't illegal and is none of our business. Like most things in this celebrity driven era we live in, this could have been sorted out behind-closed-doors without media fuss.

Football is all about cliques and it looks as though the F.A. bigwigs feel that Terry as their "leader" isn't appropriate because his removal as captain clearly has nothing to do with morals and role model figures etc looking at who the new captain and vice-captain is - I imagine this will be about the Chelsea boys (+ plus pals) sticking up for their mate and the Manchester City boys (+ pals) looking after theirs. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I doubt Capello had anything to do with this decision.

This thread needs some bacon.

[url width=500 height=333]http://www.bbqblog.ca/20080402-baconbra.jpg[/url]

I will say it again. That is for that person's employer (in this case the England manager) to decide if it has an impact on their performance or relationships within the business (i.e team). What the fuck do you know about it? You just read about it in sensationalist newspapers and you lap up every (true or false) word.

I only give a shit about it because I think the focus on this is like confectionery. It's all sugar and no meat.

And on that subject I would like to say that Barry's picture is a bit rash...errrrr.

I was pretty clear that I was only going by the newspaper reports, I never suggested any inside knowledge.

But it's obvious that Bridge is pissed off by Terry following his Man City team mates wearing "team bridge" t-shirts. Plus, given Terry's willingness to use solicitors to keep the stories out of the papers in the first place, the fact that he hasn't sued them yet would also suggest at least some element of truth.

It's also obvious that Capello thought it impacted the team as he sacked Terry.

Then fine, if that was the manager's decision ('sacked' as captain I assume you mean). But that could have happened in the background without all of this posturing and moral handwringing by you and the oh-so-tedious main stream media.

Anyway, fuck that - do you prefer smoked or plain bacon?

I think a vital part of this debate that has been missed is that Wayne Bridge is shit and shouldnt be in the england squad anyway. problem solved.

Rather have a bloke who cheats on his wife than a bloke who cheats on a drug test!

Who is the better example to kids?

i really cant believe anyone gives a shit

I suppose thats Terry and Ferdinand guaranteed starting berths in every WC game now then. Which is a shame.

really? we're not exactly blessed inthe centre back department currently. Ferdinand and Terry are miles ahead of any other candidates in my view.

King - good but a cripple
Woodgate - see above
Lescott - shite since his move
Cahill - inexperienced and not likley to play again this season
Upson - meh
Carragher - having a shit season and cant be arsed with it anyway
Dawson - playing well but likley to drop back into medicority soon. not even sure of a 1st team place at spurs if everyone where fit
We Brown - no thanks

http://www.football365.com/john_nicholson/0,17033,8746_5925981,00.html

A few years earlier, Bridge was cheating on his then girlfriend with the French bird. He's not the innocent party some of the papers are making him out to be.

totalllly innooocent!

Someone who cheats on his wife, cheats on his drug tests and cheats at cards.

Obviously wrong.

A new twist on this. Heard in the pub via a friend who has friends that are "sports agents" - so probably bollocks, but I'll repeat it anyway.

The Terry shagging Bridge's ex story is smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that Terry :

a - has a massive gambling problem and has to remortgage his house
b - owes Chelsea over 2mil cos of said gambling problem
c - was caught shagging a 15 year old girl

Apparently it's going to be kept out of the press 'til after the World Cup...

Like I said, more than likely bollocks but then that is the TEF motto!

Not surprised by this. The tabs often keep the good stuff in reserve.

It's like the Ashley Cole thing. They let the first set of phone photos out to trap him into saying it was a one-off because he'd "given the phone away" and then splashed the second set to make him look like an even bigger tool.

I thought Ferdinand had a very poor game last night. His defensive heading was very poor and put ManU back in trouble half the time.
Only Rooney (and Scholes) looked any good out of the England players. Carrick, Beckham and Ferdinand werer all poor.

Capello was there - we saw him being interviewed in the underground car park before the game. He must have been a bit disappointed in the whole performance.

I thought JTs gambling addiction was pretty well know anyway?

His current wife Toni was 15 when they started going out. Very very old news.
