		<description>Reports coming through that he has been &quot;dropped of the England Captaincy&quot; whatever that means and the French tart isn&#039;t going to sell her story, I bet Max Cliffords gutted.</description>

		<description>Remember that old Shopping Chain from the 80&#039;s, it was a sort of Top Shop/River Islands for birds.

&quot;Just popping into Chelsea Girl!!&quot;

It appears a mini 5-a-side Chelsea team have already done it, Terry, Gudjohnson and now Mutu with an un-named player (I wonder who that could be - gagging orders at the ready). What a bike!</description>

		<description>Since SKY have started to pay stupid amounts of money for TV rights players have become more like celebrities than sports-stars.

If an MP can sleep with someone or the next in line for the throne has an affair and yet they keep their job or title then wht should a football player be stripped of the England captaincy??

Did the Queen say to Charles &quot; you had an affair while married your not going to be King&quot; ???  No she didnt.

So I say back off JT, let him sort out his private life in private and let him do what he does best and lead England with pride and passion.

I think JT is great and will argue with anbody that says different.

As a football fan I will not boo him or throw abuse at him. I hope Fabio see&#039;s sense.

And to the tabloid press &quot;Fuck Off you twats!</description>

		<description>the more I think about it the more I think you&#039;re right Dave. He is a leader on the pitch and that&#039;s what counts. We have no one else, we certainly don&#039;t have center backs as cover!

Typical media though, kick our players down, they then moan we get knocked out early</description>

		<description>Bridge&#039;s French wife has been having it of with another &quot;household name Premiership star&quot; according to the tabloids today. This going to run and run. Any ideas on who the lucky player might be because we all know she is a belter. It has got to be a looker, maybe Tevez or one of the Nevilles??!!! Seriously, this isn&#039;t looking good for Fabio, if it is another England Squad member, it is going to be a free for all in training. Fight Fight Fight!!!</description>

		<description>The more I think about it, the more I think Fab will chuck the book at him. It wouldn&#039;t surprise me at all if he barred him from International duty until after The World Cup, especially if we believe that most of the England Squad have been sending Bridge support and coating Big John. 

With Terry out, there will be more harmony and group spirit, no one keeping a low profile, no &quot;Tasty tackles&quot;, no whisperings, no mody glances across the dinner table. If Fab has banned a World Cup song and The Wags for being a minor distraction, he has a big problem to address with a Captain and Player no one respects.</description>

		<description>John Terry is a prat isn&#039;t he! £170000 a week and he still manages to balls it up. The bloke should be stripped of the captaincy for sure, if he can&#039;t be trusted by his wife and kids how can the England team trust him. Many of his collegues are friends with Wayne Bridge so he has caused a problem in the changing room in my opinion and must be punished. John needs to take a real good look at himself and get his act together.</description>

		<description>I think I&#039;m being swayed into the side that thinks JT should have his captaincy stripped from him and not because of this episode but because of a pattern of irresponsible behaviour. This was a question even before this story broke. I use to have sympathy for him because I thought he tried to mend his ways with work with charity, etc.

In England, I&#039;ve always noticed people often go with their teams before country, I try to see this as neutral, even the blogger says &quot;get Rooney in there&quot; but this is the pivotal situation, who would become captain? And again, I repeat, get your team-coloured tinted glasses off and look at it for the best of the 3 Lions. For Captain, I&#039;d say Rooney, not yet still, Rio, not in form, JT is in form afterall and is committed to teams he plays for, Gerrard, most likely not. It&#039;s not easy to see who is a viable alternative.

Still, Terry should have thought of this before. To pull on the shirt of your country and wear the badge is an honour requiring the highest due diligence. Things were a lot different back with Sven and then McClaren and some would say, the latter at least, could not discipline the players&#039; egos.

And the thing with Terry is I&#039;ve heard these kinds of stories before. There is a risk we will hear more. If it gets worse, surely he won&#039;t be the captain.</description>

		<description>John Terry might not have done anything illegal, but breaching the trust of someone he knows displays arrogance, selfishness, and gross egotism. It&#039;s not the behaviour of a sporting captain; it&#039;s the behaviour of a man who&#039;s let his status go to his head. He&#039;s abused his position. Remember Tommy Docherty losing his job as United manager in 1977 for having an affair with the physio&#039;s wife? They&#039;d just won the FA Cup but that didn&#039;t save the Doc.

But if Terry does lose the captaincy, does he stay in the squad? I wouldn&#039;t actually take Bridge to the World Cup because Ashley Cole will play every game if he stays fit, and Barry or even Lescott could fill in if he doesn&#039;t, so Terry would still be in my 23 - probably still in the starting line-up. Rio as captain?</description>
