Think that's the wrong way round isn't it Colin? The original one said 'United fans f*ck off'

I agree. He is undoubtedly an "unflushable turd", but a great, great defender. Despite, or because, of his relative lack of mobility he reads the game brilliantly. He's like a ball-magnet... just there where he needs to be. I kind of like his old-school centre half ways. Did you see the first game against Barca where Puyol had hurt his wrist? He showed it to Terry; he just grabbed it and squeezed. Good scoring record too.

Him and Vidic are very similar, both also enjoy hurting people.. if Vidic has the choice between ball or man and ball.. its man and ball every time.. Rio is much more of a cultured player, but together its great. I used to really rate Carvalho though, now he was a bastard... again good reader of the game, lack of pace, but great at being all over a man..

It's the Charlestown in Blackley, which is a big city pub, much like all pubs in Manchester really. :w00t:

Thats where I disagree.. hes a bastard.. but he's good.. he loves being that good and that hated and thrives on pressure.. I'd have him in my time, when fit, any day.. He may not be a great person, but he is a great player. Has his weakness, but you'll see few more complete defenders in the world.

But where would you draw the line? Would you have Ossama Bin Laden in your team, if we was a better player than Terry, and still alive?
Some of us have principles, I can't bring myself to cheer for any team that's got John Terry in it.

I'm not sure premier league football and principles go together very well...

Eh? Even for this site that's a new level of randomness... think about it..

JT has racially abused a player (allegedly), I don't think he's a racist, just an idiot who will do anything to get at players, he's ragged a team mates missus.. but I wouldn't equate him to a terrorist inciting hatred of the west.. maybe that's me.. but there is hardly a fine line between the two....

But name a team with players with impeccable morals? I can't think of one..

Or Singapore if it had been the other way round. :w00t:

Good on Chelsea. If our national team could show that much spirit and determination they might just get somewhere.

Those who have commended Chelsea on how well they played in both legs should be careful what they wish for. Chelsea played like chickens in both legs, winding the clocks back to European football in the 80's when Italian teams did exactly that by grinding out 1 nil wins in stale defensive games. You know what - FIFA changed the rules as a conseqence. The pass back rule for one. Bayern showed last night the way to play against flair teams. Chelsea were a disgrace and I hope they get their chicken shit asses kicked big style in the final by our German friends. If England approach games in the Euros like Chelsea did, and I fear we will, we are in for one serious thumping and the first plane back. As for JT.........
