Racism in English football?

I bet most of those "fans" didn't even know where Chelsea was until Abramovich bought them.

It was a wise decision on both sides to abandon the pre-match handshakes, because there was no way Anton was going to shake Terry's hand....

Terry to go on trial AFTER the Euro's.

Shame.

[braveneutral]

Surely he should not be allowed to leave the UK as he may be a flight risk with all of his money?

I'd be happy if he never came back.

So, will Terry captain the team at the Euros?

I don't have a problem with him playing, innocent until proven guilty, and all that stuff. But I have a big problem with him captaining the side.

I think he should relinquish the captaincy until after the trial has taken place....

John Terry now comes with more baggage than his wife, and that's not a good thing. He's not even as good as he was as a player. Leave him be and look at the next generation. Jagielka, Jones, Lescott, Cahill and Dawson are all good enough to displace Terry.

john terry has to be stripped of the captaincy...there is no way he can go to euro's with this trial still hanging over him, let alone playing alongside rio.

[Aidan11]

Technically, although we may not like it, he hasn't been found guilty of anything yet.

Sadly my opinion of him is clouded by his drug dealing father, his shoplifting mother and his scum of a brother who took advantage of a team mates hospitality by shagging his wife. The poor lad later took his life.

with all the drama before the world cup with the wayne bridge thing and the impact on squad selection then england are going to have perhaps an even bigger issue for the euros, especially with the prospect of rio ferdinand being the possible partner for terry at centre half

So, the FA may strip him of the captaincy by the weekend?

That is good news, if it's true. Let's wait and see....

[Aidan11]

I wonder if Capello would be brave enough to drop him form the team entirely.
