Re: John Terry Stripped of England Captaincy

by Adit Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:13 pm

is it possible in England? A country obsessed with NT captaincy hmm

by Lord Hades Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:16 pm

dont know what the fuss is all about, its not as it will significantly affect england's chances as favorites of euro 2012 Laughing

Thank f**k. Hope he finally retires from that shower of sh*t.

Wish Cole and Lampard would follow suit as well.

The sad part is that this will probably be the blame for England not getting out of their group. we are'nt going to win anything anyways.

It is possible to be all honest and stuff. Capello just needs to show some of those brass balls he had when he was at Juventus, Roma and Real Madrid. Forget about the likes of Gerrard, Terry, Rio, etc. These guys, though have a very distinguished career, are in their swansong for England. Let them be and let the new generation start off on the proper foot...

by RealGunner Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:29 pm

I would suppose Gerrard will be the obvious candidate but that will be short term as he will retire after the Euros along with Lampard n Rio.

I would agree with others here and give it to Joe Hart.

by Gil Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:30 pm

Capello is leaving after the Euros why should he give a f**k about the next generation?

Still don't get why the captaincy is such a big deal in anyway. Only in England.

Tom Cleverley.

Obvious choice is obvious, Heskey for captain.

by RED Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:48 pm

Great news, he should have never got it back.

Give it to Rooney I say. A player who gives 100% on the field and is one of the most experienced players in the national team (who is young as well).

The captaincy will give him an added responsibilty too. My no.1 choice is def Rooney.

Hot headed moron.

^^^ Read the "added responsibilty" part.

rio has ruled himself out by the way. whoever gets the armband is just gonna be keeping it warm for when jones is ready.

what about Scott parker.

by S Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:54 pm

Maybe English media are watching too much Ashes Cricket hmm

Seriously too much is made of this NT captaincy.

So the logic is that making him captain will make him into a level headed and non-moronic player?

Yes.

So... you're agreeing he's not a level headed moronic player at the mo'? Wink

On rare occasions he can be, theres no denying that. But one thing, he has improved his temperment a lot as he has gotten older.

Fair enough.

White Pele.. When shit gets complicated just give it to your best player

by RED Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:09 pm

Gerrard would be a great choice too imo.

by Abramovich Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:09 pm

I'd take Parker as well to be the stop gap til Fabio does one

by Red Alert Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:13 pm

No it wouldn't.

It'd convince him to continue his national career. He should get 100 caps and retire. He gets injured every time he plays for England. Mad

Why not? Gerrard has said countless times that playing for England is an honour for him. Injuries in internationals is just down to bad luck.
