Why do I bring up Ryan Giggs affair with his sister in law? Because I think a major reason JT is being highlighted is because of him screwing Wayne Bridge's ex girlfriend. I just find it hypocritical that JT continues to suffer from the backlash while Ryan Giggs's far worse offence is pretty much ignored.

Probably because Giggs is very highly thought of in the game and isn't a serial offender when it comes to stupid things. Unlike Terry who has a history of abusing americans on 9/11, pissing in the nightclubs, taking the mickey out of disabled people and generally being a horrible, annoying rat-faced wankur.

+1. JT needs someone like David Luiz next to him, but someone who doesnt dive in. He was at his best with Carvalho, someone who can cover JT when he messes up constantly. Maybe they should look at Gary Cahill for that role, they might be able to get him fairly cheap as hes OOC in August.

All of those things combined don't come close to making him as low as someone who would cheat on his wife with his brother's wife.

Get a grip man.
Ryan Giggs is Mr Manchester United. As was Scholes/Neville until they retired. He represents Manchester United it doesnt make a difference if hes the captain or not.
If JT wasn't England and Chesleas captain he would still cop for all the abuse.

Calm down dear, note the 'maybe'. Giggs plays for by far the biggest club in Britain and one of the most followed globally, yet he hasn't attracted the same attention as Terry. Maybe (there's that word again) it's because his discretion has nothing whatsoever to do with what goes on on the pitch, away from football whereas some of Terry's haven't been that far away from the game. What Giggs has done is disgusting, I mean shagging your own brother's wife while yours is giving birth to your child is lower than a worm's belly.

Does anyone still go on about the Terry/Bridge incident? Haven't heard it mentioned for ages. I would say Terry is getting more stick because of the racism case rather than what happened with Bridge.

The abuse for Terry has never stopped. Sunday was actually a day off. Pretty much every time Terry has touched the ball since the story broke he's been booed.

A modern day fullback is now somebody that scores the odd goal but cannot defend? Interesting.

I'd love to know how Johnson is under-rated too, after costing a measly £18m.

Where do people get this idea from that Glen Johnson can't defend? It is highly amusing. Although, now you come to mention it, I suppose the fact that "he can't defend" is the reason why, when fit, he will be in the England team.

Of course though, I'll take your judgement over the likes of Rafa Benitez', Kenny Dalglish's and Fabio Capello's, the first two played/play him every week, with Capello rating him has England's best rightback. You obviously no more about football than them three though, I guess.

So he's under rated yet apparently he's rated by all and sundry?
