Is there a bigger cockend in football, than a certain John Terry?

[Altamullan]

There are objectionable things about how he comes cross across/things he's said/what we think we know. The only thing which really jars for me is the coverage of him taking payment (a lot) for doing guided tours around Chelsea trading facilities/ground. Can't recall the details but it seemed obscene (if true). Fair play to the chap for a very good career and loyalty to a club (well rewarded and supplemented).

Was just about to post that Love this bit:

 

'Others who found Terry’s exit a bit grandiose include Apollo Creed from Rocky, stadium rock band Motley Crue and rapper Kanye West.'

Ashley Cole has the bigger cock-end.

 

Nearly crashing his car and pulling over at the side of the road to vomit over a £65k a week contract offer.

If only he'd eaten a pie on the way off too.

[henke]

I honestly couldn't care less.

Pardew will always be the biggest cockend in football anyway. Just re-watch that dance in the FA Cup final to remind yourself.

That said, John Terry is an enormous bell. (i'd still take him on a free for the season though).

 

You've also got Nile Ranger to consider here as well. He beats Terry hands-down

Steven "DJ better play Phil Collins or I'll bash his face in" Gerrard has just rejoined Liverpool by the way (to play in friendlies)

If he was Newcastle player, I'd probably overlook his personality flaws too.

 

We do it for Jonjo bloody Shelvey.

 

Terry was a top, top player. Much better with his feet than he is credited for too. Probably slightly under-rated. Couldn't name more than 5 better than him in the PL era probably, a few of those debatable too.

Doesn't matter if you're Lionel Messi, planning a staged substitution in the first half so you can milk applause is the action of an absolute tool.

Shearer looked unimpressed like.

 

It's what testimonials are for.

There was a full and frank debate around couscous nonce tbh.

 

[Altamullan]

Still can't read 'couscous nonce' without chuckling; apologies to any Berber (etc) brethren who may be deeply offended...

That's without even mentioning how it belittles the game in progress and the game of football in general.

[Hanshithispantz]

Will they not be fined? It's not exactly match fixing but it's on the same spectrum. You cannot pre-plan in-game actions for a proffessional match ffs.

[54]

The FA has asked the betting companies involved for information on bets they received on the substitution.

[Guest chopey]

This could get tasty, I hope it's his friends or family that put the bet on probably his scruffy shoplifting parents

[Interpolic]

7 point deduction pls, would be a glorious end to this wanker's Chelsea career

[Leazes_End_Mag]

Don't know if anyones said him but Nile Ranger is far worse.

[Hanshithispantz]

Dunno if it's been said but I've just clicked that this is sunderland trying to win another football friend. It's meek as fuck

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Terry is or was massively overrated, he was an all action type centre-back ideal for the PL but in Europe and for England he was largely average and that's because he's an average footballer. Carvalho was much better. Put Terry in our side for the last decade and he'd be considered above average. c*** of a person as well. I hope he one day manages Chelsea and f***ing relegates them, two sets of c***s.

[Ronaldo]

By who? You?

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Knew you'd jump straight in, he was a very good PL CB, top-class, but knowwhere near the level of world-class. Rio was several leagues above him as was Ledley King in terms of ability. I'd rate Woodgate higher too and again Carvalho and Vidic were superior all-round. I'd rate Terry similar to Carragher. Top-class, but never world-class! IMO of course...

[Ronaldo]

I agree with most of that, to be fair. The above average comment is a bit daft, though. I don't think he touches Rio in terms of ability, obviously, but it's worth pointing out that while Terry was leading Chelsea to every trophy imaginable and captaining England, Woodgate was in the Star & Garter in Middlesbrough trying to convince pension-aged locals to piss on themselves so him and his bottom of the barrel mates could grab a quick laugh. Winds me up whenever people bring Woodgate into conversations like this. If anything it affords credit to Terry for achieving a billion times more than a twat like Woodgate with less talent.

[mrmojorisin75]

Nobody praises Woodgate for what he achieved though, merely that he was the most talented CB of his generation, which he was.
