John Terry: A Broken Man

Premier League Chelsea
comment on the article

I feel for the guy I do- but whose idea was it for him to take a penalty ahead of the likes of Anelka, Kalou and Essien? If it was his decision it smacks of destructive hubris. He should have left the kick to someone more likely to score. You can see as a centre half he didn't know how to set himself up for that penalty and that contributed to him slipping. Irrespective of his boots or the rain soaked pitch, his awkward run up meant that his left foot was miles too close to the ball when he hit it and without doubt that put him off balance

I think we owe all of our success to Mourinho, Terry and Lampard, the foundations of the team have been built aroound them, Terry is not to blame here. The stupidity of Drogba and the cowardice of Anelka is to blame. I hope Drogba and Anelka both go, Anelka just has such a bad attitude and he is rightly labelled Le Sulk.

I wish Drogba the best of luck at his new club, he has been a true legend at the club and I wish him the best, he will be a loss.

"I think we owe all of our success to Mourinho, Terry and Lampard, the foundations of the team have been built aroound them"

The foundations of the team were built by Ranieri. He signed Lampard and made Terry captain (at age 18).
He got Joe Cole, Gallas, Robben, Duff, Gudjohnsen, Cech and Makelele to come to Chelsea.
These are the players that won the league twice.

When Mourinho got his own players in was when chelsea stopped winning things.

John Needs to just pick himself up n get on with it, he more than anyone deserved to win that trophy for the fantastic performance he and his team had put in.
fair enuf we may have finished 2nd best to man united but that doesnt tell the full story, the margin was so fine, on anuther day we'd of won that game, its hard to take playing so well n clearly deserving to win then getting nothing. BUT WE'LL B BACK.
iv seen terry take a penalty for england and he scored, he was just unlucky,i know the manc's if it had happened to them would b blaming the pitch.

how many tophies did we win under ranieri? he wasnt responsible for robben and cech they'd virtually agreed to sign for chelsea the day ranieri was sacked.
mourinho is chelseas most successful manager, it went wrong the board dint back him.

considering sources have commented that Abram had 30% say in what goes on on the pitch, i think your quest for problems could end there...
He is playing the most expensive version of championship manager in the world, and when he is done, he will call in his interest free loans and chelsea will go down. Gutted

Rio Ferdinand was asked “What is it like winning the europeon cup”? he said “Its like eating a chacolate orange” when he was asked “why” he replied “because its not Terrys, its mine”.

-------------------------------

Terry was made captain in the 2001/2002season which by my calculations would make Terry 20/21
