The John Terry Appreciation Thread

Classy. And some people wonder why gays won't come out of the closet in sports.

Takes me back to the '80's when the whole of the shed would sing similar songs about Elton John - the then Watford Chairman.

Seems Spammers fans are stuck in a time-warp.

 
There's just so much wrong with that

a) It's pathetic that they need to distribute song sheets anyway.  

b) Obviously the contents are deplorable and out of the ark whoever they are about

c) The lyrics are not even witty 

d) JT is usually pilloried for shagging women....... quite a turn around to suddenly decide he's gay

e)  just, just everything about it is lamentable.

 
Having seen the west ham goals, looks like both goals had something to do with JT losing the duel and of course begovic is as much guilty.. That header from that kind of range, a top GK should never be beaten by that.. 2nd goal, JT failed to block it and the GK, again, failed to deal with long range attempt...

 
Obviously a club legend but wouldn't have beat United 4-0 with him in the team. Too slow now and well past his prime, it's best he stays at the club as a leader figure playing cup games only.

Yeah I think he can rotate with Luiz in the deep role, not as a ball playing CB but a last man sweeper, you always need cover for every position anyways.

I agree, but they're effectively the same thing in this case, since Luiz is the primary ball-player within the back 3.

I really wouldn't. 

Hate to see players in decline but as much of a legend JT has been, this is clearly his last season and I can't see him getting that many games. Great to still have around as an option and to inspire but the end is most definitely nigh.

I'm not sure if you are being serious but if you are then you have gone crazy :biggrin:  

This would be as much of a disaster as continuing with Ivanovic at RB. Actually, it would probably be worse. If Terry played in midfield it would probably finish him  :biggrin:

 
Jt in midfield would be a disaster. people complain about fabregas's mobility, jt would make fabregas look like a prime lampard!

Still too soon to say whether jt can play himself back into this back 3. he was poor against west ham, but he has been out for 6 weeks, which at 36 probably feels like 6 months! 

If he gets a run in the team, we will know whether he is capable of adapting.

How many of you experts even followed Chelsea back then?

Tbf scott, there is playing centre midfield at youth level at the age of 18, then there is playing centre midfield at age 36 in the premier league, having spent the previous 18 years playing centre back! 

Also i find it bizarre the you would suggest that people who would not want to see a 36 year old john terry playing centre midfield, probably werent supporting chelsea in 98.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling this season will be his last with us.

If it is his last, it would be fitting to see him hold up the title trophy at the end of the season for the fifth time in his career.

I feel a bit dirty and guilty for not wanting him to start at the moment while we are on this run. 

 
I was watching a few highlights from the end of last season and JT looked so slow and was at fault for several of the goals I saw.

I think this is definitely going to be his last season with us.
