The John Terry Appreciation Thread

Savage can criticize as he likes, and he should have that freedom. Those he criticizes should also have the freedom to ignore him or even fire back with criticism and ridicule him.

This is the thing, Terry didn't actually say savage couldn't criticise him, he just said he wouldn't listen to criticism from a talentless no mark like him. As usual its been taken out of context and twisted to suit agendas.
 
Just telling it as he saw it, JT is not one to hide his light under a bushel.

 
Savage has also claimed that he himself, at times, was world class.  Shows his credibility

Savage has tried to have a dig back at JT in his newspaper column.

The fact it's taken over half a week to retort means it's all a bit sad from Robbie.

That he felt the need to respond and stick up for his career means JT's comments worked.

If you're referring to this, I actually thought he made some valid, fair and honest points. It wasn't attacking or vengeful even though it could have been.

Even if he didn't want to write an article the Mirror would have pressured him to.

 
Well to be fair JT was not really professional there. Savage had every right to reply. Tells just how on the edge JT and probably the whole team is. Grown men may I remibd you.

Why wasn't JT professional?

Pundits throw out harsh criticism of players all the time and what, players are expected to to keep their mouth shut?

Why?

Savage has thrown out some pretty harsh things since becoming a pundit, which is fine but I think JT and other players are quite right to throw criticism back.

JT's comments were intended to rile Savage and it worked.

Think people are far sensitive about this sort of thing.

 
Terry didn't say savage played at a bad level. He also didn't say savage wasn't entitled to an opinion.

Savage's article is basically saying terry should care what every tom dick and Harry thinks about his game.

Absolute tosh.

Not really what the take away message is from the article. It's fine not to care about what someone thinks, doing so on the basis that they haven't played at the highest level however is pretty silly. 

I don't particularly care for Savage and his views but that's because he's a sh*t pundit, nothing to do with his footballing experience. 

Like I said before though, I doubt Terry actually thinks that way and it was something said more as a way to wind up Savage more than anything.

I'm with Big B... JT didnt' say people arn't aloud oppinions, he just said he wasn't all that interested in some one like savages. 

And lets not forget, he was asked a question by the press, he answered it saying essentially he preferes to take on board the opinions of players that have played at the top as opposed to some one who hasn't really won all that much. 

JT's opinion and he's entitled to it

And lets be honest - if he had called savage a dick he's be abut right aas well 

 
What J.T. has achieved in football to what Savage has is like comparing a Nobel Prize winner to a Pipe Smoker Of The Year winner.

 
perhaps savage should get a new script writer for his pundit job and make sure his ghost writer isn't on holiday for his column! 

 
.... Why should someone at the top of their game have to take advise from a lesser professional, and take it seriously?

None of us would expect it in any other profession than sports.

What was the take away message then? I don't think it's silly if jt doesn't listen to players that haven't played at his level, that's his opinion, and Tbf he seems to have done pretty well in his career.

Savage is right every has a right to an opinion on football, but that was never disputed.

That you don't need to have played at a high level to be a good analyst. He gave examples of managers like Mourinho who hadn't played at a high level.
