It's one thing to leave the country to play golf and sunbathe and quite another to live there permanently.

I agree. He and his family may not want to live abroad.

But I see no basis for labelling him as liking his home comforts too much when like I said he takes any and every opportunity to leave the country.

I mean in the sense of being with his family, spending time with them etc. 

If he moved abroad his family most likely stays in England because of his kids and the impression I get from JT is that he'd rather stay close to them than move abroad for the sake of regular football. 

 
It would be so fitting if JT can go out on a high with an FA Cup win over The Gooners at Wembley and lift the famous cup one last time. Expect it will be a tough game but it would be great if we could blow them away like we did at The Bridge so with 10 minutes remaining we are leading 3-0 and can bring JT on for his swan-song. Don't like the idea of him coming on at 1-0 and dropping a howler!!

Be part of another CFC side that wins the double and then hang those boots up John. Finish on a High - all good things come to an end.

I suggested this for the last home game...needs to be something special.

We should use this track for the team when they walk out of the tunnel, with the team coming out onto the pitch to a standing ovation @1:30 into the track. A fitting piece of music for the farewell of our very own ROCKY.

They play ridiculously open expressive football and even when he was top class JT struggled with that (AVB tenure). His best shot will be signing on with Pulis for a season (if he wants to stay in England).

I agree. They have the 3rd worst defence in the league, even worse than Sundeland's and that is saying something. Terry would really suffer playing for them. They are far too open and exposed defensively.

 
Its already getting to me, now that the day is here. Can't believe it. 

What a player, what a legend. Farewell JT!

 
Thanks for your skill, timing, balance, distribution & above all leadership of the best kind both on & off the field.

I doubt that I'll see your kind again at this club.

You're the greatest legacy that this club has had over the last 15 years or so & I hope we see you back in another capacity soon.

Enjoy the day because it's all yours.

Thank you again.

 
Chelsea just won't be the same after JT has gone.

i can see it as conte wanting to play him for most of the game, but he decided it would be better to go off at 26th minute and conte agreed. the way that reporter said it makes it sound like nobody gave a sh*t about his send off. 

 
The BBC are miserable bar stewards aren't they? Jesus Christ a legend is retiring and the game is moot for both clubs.

Compare it to the reaction when Philip Lahm and Xabi Alonso did the same thing

Who cares what the BBC and the rest of the bitter twats think though? They just make me laugh, there's been a siege mentality at this club for a while, despite some silly articles in the press stating that Antonio Conte has made our club more respected. I think we all know that we've overtaken United as the most hated club in the premier league, with success comes hatred.

Terry has gotten most of the stick, as the face of the club, a premier league legend, people couldn't give respect to today, makes a mockery of football.

 f**k em all.

w**kers. Sums up BBC Sport in recent years. They used to be good, but now look at them, looking for controversy where there isn't any. Did you see the Sunderland players moaning? they understood and they were fine with.

Football must be the only sport where people would complain about this. It really is lacking sportsmanship. Compare it to Cricket and you will see what i mean. If a player get's 100 runs, everybody congratulates the player, even the opposition. When legends retire, they are given a standing ovation. Do that in football and miserable pricks come out and moan.
