Article in the Evening Standard with our Gus talking about how we really shouldn't be making such a big deal about Terry's misdemeanors.
Gus Poyet: Let John Terry stay as England captain | Football
Have to say I'm with him on this one. The whole shitstorm that has accompanied this story is ludicrous. If he was going to lose the captaincy then it should have been for his thuggish off field behaviour that has been highlighted in the past. I don't see why this having an affair bollocks should make any difference to his England career.
It's nice to see our manager quite often pops up in the nationals or on telly because he's a genuinely respected big name.
And as for Terry to be honest if I was earning the sort of cash he does then I'd probably shag around as much as I f***ing could too. In fact I don't really understand why so many professional footballers get tied down so young. Why not just behave like a total slag until your playing career is over? There's never going to be any shortage of offers and then if you want to settle down you can do so once you're out of the limelight sitting in your country manor on top of a mountain of banknotes.
As has been pointed out there are plenty of countries where a story like this wouldn't even count as news. What really pisses me off is the way the tabloid press always seem so keen to expose our top players in the run up to a major tournament. They moan like hell when we don't win any trophies but seem to try their best to disrupt the team by outing these young millionaires as rogues as soon as they're famous enough to warrant column inches for their off the field antics.
I don't condone what he's done but as Gus points out infidelity isn't actually a crime so why should it be anyone else's business?
