Ian Ashbee will be fit in time. He's shockingly dull off the pitch

Wow, a manager who actually stands up to, and imposes some kind of discipline on today's otherwise almost untouchable "stars".

All the candidates for the job have baggage in one form or other, but I don't think they involve crossing a team-mate in the way Terry has here.

If Wayne Bridge finds the Captains Armband under his bed i'd give it to him

So its okay to cheat on your wife aslong as its not your team mates girfriend ? Or its okay to fail a drugs test ?

IMO the media had made FC decison for him.

John Terry has given Fabio Capello all the reason he needs to strip him of the captaincy. He only has himself to blame for losing the position he wanted and which clearly meant a lot to him.

But certain parts of the media have clearly gone out of their way to make sure that his indiscretions were made public, and they've gone out of their way to create some of these indiscretions.

The media clearly wanted JT stripped of the captaincy and now they've got it. They've achieved their goal. Well done to the Brtish press.

I don't think there are any members of the England squad who have failed a drugs test.

I don't think Terry has done that much wrong. All coaching manuals state: "If the full back leaves a hole, it's the centre backs job to fill it."

I never said that, but things like that, or picking up a random girl with a mate and spit-roasting her, are unlikely to cause too many problems for a player with his team-mates in the squad are they?

Missing a test = failing the test, according to the rules as they were at the time.

Ah well. He's the new captain anyway.
