Better footballer than Rio Ferdinand, who was vastly over rated in that respect I think.

Rio is proving as a past it footballer that he heavily relied on his pace. Terry has the ability to read a match, shows you JT is much more intelligent as a footballer (probably as a person aswell mind but I'll leave that there)

He was never world class and that’s the difference.

Truly great defenders do not rely on pace, look at Maldini and Terry. Both read the game and position themselves so as to deal with the threat they are up against. Pacey CB’s who get to their 30’s now can’t make up those yards they used to leave and get caught out time after time.

Terry is just proving what we here all knew for a long time, he is a world class defender.

Don't think he's undermining anyone.

He was asked the question and gave his answers/feelings.

He said he wants to stay and feels like he shown he deserves it, quite right.

Sign him up Roman!

oh i was unaware he was asked. I thought he just randomly made a statement

 
I wonder if Matic will get loads of grief for wearing his full kit in the celebrations?

No, probably not.

 
He has actually, several newspapers claiming he "did a John Terry" as if Terry was the first person ever to wear his kit for the celebrations when not playing in the game.

Those newspapers aren't even fit for arse paper. Who cares, the media can't take this away! CHELSEA!

 
34 years old and still performing at a very high level, easily the best CB in the League and still one of the best in the world

The blokes an absolute legend and will go down as one our all time greats.

 
I find it amazing that JT is so reviled not only by oppositions fans but by sections of the media. He maybe no angel but in the greater picture it's pitiful enough, the high horse brigade might want to look after their own houses first.

Can't wait to watch the highlights this evening on the BBC and see what they have to say.

 
Chelsea captain says he has drawn a line under his international career but admits he has missed playing in big finals and the atmosphere of the national stadium

John Terry has revealed how much he has missed the thrill of playing at Wembley but has again firmly closed the door on making an England comeback.

The Chelsea captain scored and was named man of the match in Sunday’s Capital One Cup final and it was the 15th trophy he has lifted in his career at the club. The most recent, though, was the Europa League final of 2013 when Terry did not play. Indeed, after also missing the Champions League final of 2012, Terry had not started a final for Chelsea since they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 2012 FA Cup showpiece at Wembley. “They started playing the national anthem before the game and I was going then,” said Terry. “I was ready before the game, I have missed it, playing in these big stadiums, and in these competitions and I’m delighted to get back to Wembley.”

Terry has re-established himself as the best English centre-back over the past two seasons but does not want to reconsider his retirement from international football.

“No - it’s the simple answer,” he said. “I don’t want to go into it right now, being back at Wembley, the atmosphere, the stadium, it’s one of the best I have played in, but it’s never crossed my mind. I have drawn a line under it and the England squad can move on now.”

I want Chris Powell as England manager, he would almost certainly be awful but we'd be the most likeable team in international football.

(Plus it would keep the anti-racism lobby satisfied)

I read the court report for JT, how on earth the FA thought they could say something different is beyond comprehension.

 
I personally want JT to tell Hodgson and that insidious bunch of Jacketed old farts, "Jog on, i'm really not interested, being out of the England fold is helping extend my beloved Chelsea career"............

JT being very diplomatic, can't wait until he is free to say what he really thinks of the FA. Meanwhile he is still the best centre half in the EPL and England sadly have to suck it up.

Would love to see him manage England one day.

He has the same charisma for the FA as Brian Clough, & Harry Redknapp, the fa could not reconise a great manager as long as they

have so many Noddy Nomarks in their selection committees.

He would never take the job IMO.
