The man is an oaf and represents everything wrong with, not only the arrogance premier league football, but our debauched, aggressive, selfish society in general. It is shameful that he is the England captain, but in light of the recent riots and other social problems, perhaps he is the perfect representative!
On this incident, I don't think he's a racist, he's just a thug who will insult anyone that crosses him, using the first thing that comes into his tiny brain

No smoke without fire I say and there has been too much smoke surrounding John Terry for there to have been no fires

When Ashley Cole goes down the Left JT naturally moves across the rest of the Back 4 would move across the line to form a 3 man back line, When he had Carvalho he would naturally fill into the Centre but what we witness with both Chelsea and England now is the communication with the other Centre Back is breaking up, I don't think that can be Johns fault because everyone in the game say he is one of the best vocal leaders around.
The stats for how many different Centre Backs John has had to play with would make interesting viewing.
Other interesting stats are that most seasons he comes out in the top 3 off defensive stats for the EPL ,Only two defenders helped keep more clean sheets (15) last seasons and Only two players made more successful passes that season than him (1572), not bad for someone playing between 50 and 65 games a Season depending if England are in Tournaments.
Onto something else...............
It's no wonder the England Boys put in such bad performances, They go through the mill and rightly so I guess but it must wear abit thin, One minute a Player is getting abused by own England Fans and next the same fan Cheerng when they score, On one occassion at that shambles they call Wembley I witnessed Wayne Rooney getting verbally absued by one supporter and the next minute Rooney Score and the same supporter was singing Rooney, Rooney, Rooney...fickle eh?
Rio Ferdinand got stick after the drug test thing, Ashley Cole gets stick even though over the last 10yrs he been one of England best Perfomers, Frank Lampard gets stick mainly at Wembley where you get them closet Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham Fans, Rooney gets alot of stick but also some cheers.
When JT lost the Captaincy for England I was hoping he would retire BUT credit to John he stuck with it, got on with it, never sulked, was one of few better players England had at the World Cup, throwing his head in was one highlight of fight for the cause and rightly won the right to put the armband back on and put egg back on many faces, Now IF and a big if the latest Allegations are ture he will rightly lose the band again and imo his England career will be over, from a selfish point of view that will be good for Chelsea because it will mean he plays less gamesa season, he averages between 55-65 inlcuding England Games and the bitter Chelsea haters will have to find someone else to hate.
