Is now the time to drop JT from England?

The whole reasoning behind taking young players to big tournaments is that they lack experience and are likely to do something rash that costs, big time. So instead, we stick to players who are well past their best and living on past glories.

So, can anyone see any reason to stick with John Terry? One of the biggest games in Chelsea's history and the cunt throws away all the hard work they've put in last week and for the past five months or whatever it is.

He's long been considered by many as a twat as a man but he is usually forgiven because of his great career. Now we know his glory days are long behind him, he's becoming prone to injury and (more unforgivable than anything else) he's proven himself to be as temperamentally unreliable as the most childish of children. I thought Sideshow Bob was the stupidest cunt in the Chelsea squad. I was wrong.

Half time - 2-1

Lescott has been dreadful everytime he played internationally. JT is stll a classy CD, experienced gungho as ever.

Can't say I've ever thought of him as classy, even at his best. Workmanlike I would describe him as. To me, a classy defender is one who looks good on the ball. Terry always looks like he can't wait to get rid of the thing (which is not always a bad thing, don't get me wrong).

Rio is was a classy defender.

Well the last four days has certainly proven the theory that JT is classy to be utter bollocks. When a clown like Andy Caroll can dominate one of our so called best central defenders, turn him, nutmeg him, generally go around him at will like a kid in a playground (and let's remember, this is Andy Caroll I'm talking about) then this is proof positive that we're absolutely NOT talking about a "classy CD"

Fucking wank. I worry for England's chances in June.

Every players have his bad patches, which I believe JT is in right now. But you can't just substitute experience and class with some patchy good form in highly competitive tournaments. And yes, I believe JT had/has been a world class CD for quite a while, and I mean classy by that, Nesta, Carvalho and Rio maybe more cultured (good on the ball etc) but I think hard, no nonsense men like JT, Chiellini or Cannavaro are from the same bracket, a.k.a classy defenders. Just my 2 cents, I'm not bashing Lescott but frankly his performance in Europe hardly inspires confidence. Funny thing is the team with the arguably best defenders of Europe - Belgium - isn't even in the competition so I wouldn't worry too much about England's chance base on central defenders.

Really? This is probably the second tourney on the bounce where I dont give a fukitty fuk.
We have no chance as we simply dont have the players. I like Roy but I fear the fukwits like Rooney wont enjoy his training methods and will rebel and bleat about being bored instead on knuckling down and working hard.
Lescott is ok with a ball playing partner, I suppose that means I would play Lezza with Camelgob.

Do you think you may be a bit biased though Keem? You've probably see more of him than me but I any say he's greatly impressed me this season although I have been a fan of his in the past.

Maybe but ho else is there? He's playing in a pretty good back four in from of the England keeper, he's solid and doesn;t make many errors, his passing is 5/10 but he is very strong can head it has a bit of pace, on TV you dont obviously see his communication skills, he is always talking and his positioning is good due to good coaching. As you say I've seen an awful lot of him.
I rate Vidic as the best CH in the PL, Rio seems to drop the odd bollock but can intercept well is strong and doesn;t get sent off. Cahill is ok not really seen too much of him.
With Hart Walker Rio and Lezza with Cole I think the back 4 is quite strong

Good point about the communication thing. And the fact that he works with the Keeper week in week out can't do him any harm.

One thing I do hope is that Roy pays zero attention to our pigshit thick journos, you really should get on twitter just to realise how fukin retarded they are, you can accuse me of bias BUT this lad has played max 10 games this season

Oliver Holt ‏ @OllieHoltMirror
Saw that @DickinsonTimes included Tom Cleverley in his suggested Euro 2012 squad last week. I agree with him. Great experience and good sub

Brilliant idea. You only have to watch the sunday forum on Sky to see how fucking thick they are.

All the southerners are so London club biased as to make their views totally worthless (it just so happens that Holt is from Stockport - make of that what you will.)

So much fucking hype based on so little evidence. The really stupid thing was that when United were going through a bad patch earlier in the season, Cleverley was being quoted as being the saviour when he returned . Fuck's sake, the longer he was out, the better player he became. A team full of Premiership title winners and a young kid with a few games in the team was what the difference was between them being average and suddenly becoming world beaters.

Fergie is largely to blame for bigging him up and saying that he was the natural replacement for Paul Scholes. As it turned out, Paul Scholes turned out to be the natural replacement for Paul Scholes

Cleverely will be a good player. WILL BE. Same with Phil Jones probably. His season has been fucking shocking. I know you won't hear any United fan actually say so but Fergie bought a potentially brilliant defender and turned him into a headless chicken who runs round the pitch kicking people. Perhaps he's bought him as a natural replacement for Paul Scholes' tackles.

Good. He's past it. His performance against Juve proved that.
