Who becomes captain? I think the FA has left it open for FabCap to decide.

I would have thought so. I personally hope that he chooses a fairly safe figure like Hart or someone. You don't expect to read about Hart beating someone up or being racist or anything.

Probably be gerrard as the next skipper.

Im getting very tired of this all now, fed up of hearing of factions, player issues and disharmony.

They are representing our country and in fairness they show exactly what we are like to the world..... a jermey kyles world 11 with, gambling issues, alcoholics, cheaters, drugs tests, infighting.....jesus christ they are meant to be making us proud and yet i take it back they are worse then any of the fine specimens that appear on "jezza" on weekday mornings!

I wish we could play down the importance of the captaincy.

Just give it to whoever has most caps.

something that struck me over the last few days

why did suarez get banned for 8 games but isn't facing any criminal charges whereas terry is being prosecuted but hasn't had any disciplinary action taken domestically by the FA ?

Weird that, eh?

Maybe the FA are waiting on the outcome of the trial before deciding whether to file charges....

maybe but i haven't even seen anything that even suggests the FA have charged him with anything but have to wait as the legal proceedings take precedence

Terry's max fine if found guilty is apparently £2,500.

Ferdinand might have reported Terry to the police, whilst Evra didn't report Suarez.
