Another one bites the dust

0

So our thin squad got even thinner yesterday with the news that Philippe Senderos has joined AC Milan on loan for the season with an option for a permanent move.

While some people thought the signing of Silvestre (out injured until mid-September, you know! Hurrah!) added some depth and experience to the squad it turns out he was brought in to replace the big Swiss.

Fergie: Rio Will Be United Captain

0
Rio Ferdinand lost out on the England captaincy to John Terry, with England's first game under Capello's choice producing the usual dire football. Terry was caught out for the first goal, pulling Baros' shirt not being enough to stop his opponent from scoring, with nothing but negative reviews for the Chelsea man the following day.

How Did Rio’s Replacement Do?

0
After being given the armband for the friendly against France, the press tipped Rio Ferdinand to be the man to lead out Fabio Capello's England. However, John Terry was Capello's choice for captain, an 8 month decision process that Scolari, Chelsea's new manager, took all of 2 minutes to make. Capello couldn't seem to give [.

Arsenal Sign Mikael Silvestre...WTF?

1
Alright I'm back. Went to Tampa for the past like five days for the girlfriend's 21st birthday, and I've come back to quite a shocker...Arsenal have signed Mikael Silvestre from Manchester United. Yes, I'm serious. And I'm frankly astonished. Yes, I've been saying we need a new defender all summer, but this wasn't what I had in mind. Click to continue reading...

Capello Lost As England Boss

2
England manager Fabio Capello  must have been channeling the" Wally With The Brolly" aka Steve McClaren. That can be the only logical answer for his decisions this week. First of all the decision to name John Terry as England captain was the wrong one. Terry is a great club captain. He rallies the troops and is [. Click to continue reading...

Capello names Terry as his skipper

0
Eight months after succeeding Steve McLaren as England manager, Fabio Capello has announced that Chelsea defender John Terry will retain the captain's armband.

John Terry to go for gold in London 2012?

0
Old-new England captain John Terry looks like he has got a chance of competing in the Olympics even if a Great Britain side do not enter the football tournament. The Chelsea man's post-Moscow penalty shootout trauma does make him look uncannily like a synchronised diver. For all his flaws on the field, we never thought JT could be accused of being a diver.

Support For Rio Ferdinand

0
Fabio Capello made the wrong decision in awarding John Terry the captaincy, not that it is much of my concern. Seems like I'm not the only one though, with the chief football writer for The Times holding a new soft spot for Rio. If someone had proposed Rio Ferdinand as England captain three or even two [.

John Terry named England captain.

Couldn't have picked a better man.  Sportsmanship, maturity, respect for authority -- natch.  "England's Brave John Terry" has got it all. As usual, the Fiver nails it when comparing Ferdinand to Terry: Capello, like the Fiver, was obviously impressed at the way [Terry's] alter ego Mr Chelsea performed during the penalty shootout at this year's Big Cup [.

John Terry Should Not Be England's Captain

I'm sure you've all heard it by now: England manager Fabio Capello named John Terry captain of the Three Lions today.

If you believe the numerous media reports, the strong favorite to be handed the armband on a permanent basis was Manchester United center back Rio Ferdinand, whose steady, and at times fantastic, play tends to greatly overshadow his off-field transgressions over the years in the minds of many England fans.

Congrats to JT

A big congratulations goes out to our boy JT, Johnny Terry, for being named permanent England national team captain. Terry beat out a host of fine candidates to regain his captaincy. And, at 5-2, JT was a bargain (hope you got your bets in). Up & up for the Blues.

A few unexpected things have happened today.

There was of course the appointment of John Terry as England captain, which was a surprise since virtually all the predictions I had heard were that Rio Ferdinand would be the preferred choice.

Then there was the announcement that Emmanuel Adebayor will be staying at the Arse after all, despite the summer-long speculation that he would be leaving. Click to continue reading...

The Perfect Captain - Chelsea’s Terry Better Than Rio?

0
John Terry's appointment as England captain has got me thinking about what a 'good captain' should be. The man who famously dropped David Beckham, before realising the errors of his ways (albeit, too late) and lost his job because of it, has made yet another controversial decision on awarding the captaincy to Terry.
