I have been saying for ages that John Terry is the wrong man to lead England, my bias is not because he plays for Chelsea and I am a Manchester Utd fan, but rather the calibre of the man.
Terry it is revealed has been having an affair with the girlfriend of his best friend and England colleague Wayne Bridge, how can he command the respect of his team mates after this revelation, Bridge who is a very popular member of the squad is said to be distraught and is considering his international future.
Why should he consider his future its Terry that should consider his future, an unwritten code between the players indeed all blokes is that you don’t mess with your friends wives/girlfriends Terry has broken that code in spectacular style, Bridges girlfriend Vanessa was also the best friend of his own wife Toni.
Whilst I don’t doubt that he is a decent player I have never subscribed to the superstar tag, Terry became a Superstar overnight by virtue of his wallet due to the ridiculous wages he commands at Chelsea because of the size of Abramovitch’s wallet rather than his ability.
Cast your minds back to the horrendous events of 9/11, Terry's response was to drop his trousers and moon the grieving Americans at Heathrow airport while they waited for news of their loved ones in a VIP area. At the time some called that high jinx, I found it totally unacceptable and that showed me what kind of man he was.
Not surprising what he is like when you look at his family, His father a drug dealer and mother a shoplifter, now I know you cant judge children by the sins of their fathers but Terry has more than enough “form” on his own, he has cheated on his wife many times and was recently in the news for sneaking anybody prepared to stump up ten grand a time to behind the scenes tours of Stamford Bridge (not sure why anyone would pay that amount for that).
According to newspaper reports a lot of players both at Chelsea and for England are unhappy with Terry’s conduct, it will be interesting to see if Terry plays today or is dropped as I suspect he will be, the Captains armband should be taken of him both at Chelsea and for his Country, in fact I predict he will leave Chelsea at the end of the season, I wont speculate as to where he will end up, because I couldn’t care less.
He's an odious man at an odious club with Neanderthal fans.

I agree. I think he'll remain Chelsea captain but lose the England armband, unless he publicly apologises and insists he is still the man to lead England (for whatever reasons he can conjure up) ... either way it'll be interesting to see what happens.
