Unless its staring me int face he may of deleted, I wanted to add to it saves starting a new but I cant find it so will have it here.......

I think its just plain silly taking his captainsy off him just because of his fling his wife has stood by him, when you think about some players conduct on the pitch let a lone off it, I am outraged!

i may have deleted it

if he was president or the prime minister i think he should have stood down but ad he is only a footballer and an icon to some but just a man who kicks a ball to others then i think he should als keep it xxx

I think they were quite right to take it away from him. He shouldn't just be able to get away with his bad behaviour (and, let's face it,he's behaved badly before- not just the latest misdemeanour).

What about the example he's setting to children who idolise people like him.

What about the fact that he seems to feel that, because of his position and wealth, he can do what he likes.

Don't suppose he's too bothered - he's still raking the money in.

I'm split on this one. Footballers, especially top flight ones, are often role models to kids, and that is one example of footballers behaviour we don't want to be teaching them.

But, at the same time, I really think the press have blown this up out of all proportion, and reporting from the wrong angle. Very little is being said about his wife...and they are not being forward about the fact that the woman he had the affair with is an EX girlfriend of his former team mate. So he didn't do the dirty on anyone other than his wife, and the press are fogetting that.

It's typical press sensationalism.

But, I think the man's a prat, he hasn't learnt to think with his head instead of his trouser region yet.

Terry sacked

Does it have owt to do with Bungs?

Defender John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy following allegations he had an affair with an England team-mate's ex-girlfriend.

Terry, 29, held talks with England boss Fabio Capello at Wembley on Friday.

"After much thought I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry," said Capello in a statement.

Terry said he fully respected Capello's decision to demote him, adding he would still "give everything for England".

Their next match is a home friendly against Egypt on 3 March as they continue their preparations for the World Cup in South Africa.

Capello returned to the United Kingdom on Thursday and is thought to have been keen to resolve the issue before travelling to Poland for Saturday's Euro 2012 draw.

The Italian, 59, who has been recovering from knee surgery in Switzerland, has been monitoring the fall-out from the Terry saga closely and has regularly spoken to his trusted lieutenant Franco Baldini.


Baldini, England's general manager, held in-depth talks with four key FA board members on Monday - chairman Lord Triesman, chief executive Ian Watmore, director of communications Adrian Bevington and head of development Trevor Brooking.

They agreed that Capello alone would make the decision about Terry's future and that the priority was to make the right decision rather than a quick one.

"As a captain with the team, John Terry has displayed extremely positive behaviour," read Capello's statement.

"However, I have to take into account other considerations and what is best for all of the England squad.

"What is best for all of the England team has inspired my choice.

"John Terry was notified first.

"When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain (Rio Ferdinand) and also named a third choice. There is no reason to change this decision.


Man Utd's Rio Ferdinand is tipped to take over the captaincy
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank The FA, particularly Lord David Triesman and Ian Watmore for allowing me to make this decision in my own time and in the best interest of the team."

Terry, a married father of twins, was appointed captain in August 2008.

In the 15 matches in which he wore the armband under Capello, England won 11 and drew two, qualifying easily for this year's World Cup.

He is alleged to have had an affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the former girlfriend of England and former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge.

Bridge, who has a son with the French model, moved to Manchester City in January 2009 and is recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out of action for the last two months.

Meanwhile, Perroncel, a lingerie model and former nightclub hostess, said she would not be selling her story.

In a statement read on her behalf by publicist Max Clifford, Perroncel said: "I have decided I do not want to speak publicly about the speculation since it only seems to add more fuel to the fire.

"I have a three-year-old son and he is my main concern. I do not believe speaking to newspapers or the media is in his interest or my own."

I dont think the young who look on his skills on the pitch are into the moral high indignation of the victorian era..

.and what hes done in his private life,is little far than what some ordinary family dads do.and at best none of our buisness really is it,,,,,,,,,,,its not going to affect our daily life......

Well perhaps the young should be shown in some instances that this sort of behaviour shouldn't just be ignored or thought to be acceptable.

What's wrong with teaching young men respect towards their wives and women in general.

The country wont come to a halt cos of his affair, he was just another bloke who got caught with his pants down. He's paid the price and lost his captaincy...some might say, "justice"...Blah, who cares...

I will add tho, I think I Vanessa Perroncel, who had (apparently) already split with Wayne before the affair,has, so far, said she wont talk to the press. I hope she sticks to that.

whats all the hype with john terry...i thought if the full back left a hole...it was his job to fill it

passes envelope to Lynda with 350 squid,,,tentacles included I believe..lol
