terry causes spurs to be overhauled by chelsea in league due to 'arry getting england job

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link

Wouldn't surprise me if most english fans will be happier having an english manager at the euros.

daresay this hypothesis will be proved right both in tabloid phone polls and on-the-spot Sky Sports interviews with the public

john terry must really have it in for darraghmac

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link

anyway yeah if this led to a tacit admission that the England boss doesn't actually need to go to games every Saturday I would be OK with that but ppl be crabby

Sylv_ebanks (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:52 (twelve years ago) link

darraghmac is not white??

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:00 (twelve years ago) link

loooool

I guess the Redknapp jury will have their own corporate box at the FA Cup final.

James Mitchell, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:09 (twelve years ago) link

bitter gooners, this season has been a landmark and no mistake

Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link

"Yeah, we went out in the groups but I only had the players for three weeks, it's a miracle we got that goal. We had not scored in a major competition for two years when I got the job, you have to remember that," said Sir 'arry Redknapp on his triumphant return to Heathrow.

James Mitchell, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link

loooooooooool if he quit over terry and terry is declared guilty, capello is gonna look like a total prick

my bet is stuart pearce will take over for the summer and then jose will take the job when he leaves madrid

didn't hiddick manage russia during his spell at chelsea? and he did pretty well - harry could easily do something similar if asked, especially considering he already works in the country and sees more english football upfront every week/has members of the squad already at training and so on. would totally piss off his own english players if he doesnt choose them though, and the rest of the country if he does but not on merit.

Can we get a "RIP Big Man" or some other Passantinoism up in this area over the death of this Anglo-Italian partnership?

Cold Chisel dude Cold Chisel (King Boy Pato), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

nah but seriously: lol england

Cold Chisel dude Cold Chisel (King Boy Pato), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

if he quit over terry and terry is declared guilty, capello is gonna look like a total prick

ehh not really, in that event I imagine he'd fall back on the *principle*

if it was a case of him chucking away a golden chance for one real bit of glory in his career then fair enough but...

Sylv_ebanks (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

Most depressing thing I've learned is that Rooney's still favourite to be England's leading scorer

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link

deems who do you want to replace 'arry? Jol? Mourinho? Benitez? O'Neill? Pardew?

Welcome Fabio Capello, @TheNYCosmos' 40th Director of Soccer!

Rogers would be a good shout imo. Or Pozzo at Udinese, as he is doing exactly the same as 'Arry atm with a lot less means (terrific talent scout, knows how to work w/ homegrown, gets the best out of youngsters; making Udinese look like a top 4 team each year. Looking like a top 4 team this year is especially looking special considering Udi had to sell their best two players.)

a hoy hoy, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

Shearer could do it. In England's hour of need. One big, happy tent. I can't believe this wasn't the first thing I thought.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

the whole episode is so stupid and p hilair given that the identity of the captain is p arbitrary and unimportant in proper fitba teams

capellos stance at least upholds the presumption of innocence, removing the captaincy is the sort of craven pussyfooting the fa specialize in, shd either be a suspension pending investigation or treated as he had been hitherto

the fa wd rather let the remedial and now resentful cunt foment divisions in the squad a la holland 1996 than take the fury of the volkist press by suspending him

there's no way Terry wont make the squad is there?

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link

He's not going to pull out especially with the court case afterwards and he'd fear those actions would be like an admission of guilt. Even though everythings allover youtube anyway..

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link

they cld lean on the next manager to drop him

his form isnt great so it can be dressed up as a footballistic decision

Guus Hiddink is trending topic w/r/t this

Yes, it is true folks. I've already been offered the England job. I've turned it down. This one seems easier.

long duk dan (dan m), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link

oxymoron alert. gazza wants "an English manager, someone who knows what they're doing."

like the FA, run by English men, people who know what they're doing.

For bodies we are ready to build pyramids (whatever), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link

gazza is just a moron alert

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:08 (twelve years ago) link

we want team spirit, none of this bickering

For bodies we are ready to build pyramids (whatever), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:08 (twelve years ago) link

there's no way it wont be redknapp. Though id assume pearce to end of season as interim manager and 'arry taking over at end of season.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:10 (twelve years ago) link

Has the FA suspended a player from the England squad before? Is it something they can do?

Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

so how does this go at the FA? "ok we've had a cerebral tactician as manager and seen him off, let's ditch tactics and get some gung ho team spirit back in the dressing room"

or something more or less ludicrous.

capello's acted marginally boneheadedly before tonight but the best result was the FA being called out. it looks as though they are trying to outdo the RFU for sheer dunderheaded twattishness.

For bodies we are ready to build pyramids (whatever), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

The FA, though - is there a single example of them being competent?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

In 2002 Terry was involved in an incident at a West London nightclub with Chelsea team mate Jody Morris and Wimbledon's Des Byrne. He was charged with assault and affray, but later cleared.[18] During the affair, he was given a temporary ban from the England national side by the FA.

can't recall if they have. but this is john terry. some people make some decisions much easier.

yah same as with bowyer woodgate and same as it would be now for kids or fringe players

btw Does this mean the FA is apologetic of racism and feels the strong need to back up people that are cunts? There's be dancing of all English cunts in the streets tonight, surely.

Hmm, maybe he was banned from the U21s at the time of the nightclub incident because he didn't get his first cap until 2003.

(I was moved to look that up because I was mildly nauseated at the idea of a whole decade slipping by, JT an England international for all of it).

Michael Jones, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link

The FA were right to strip Terry of the captaincy. Capello had been desperate to get out for ages, we all know he doesn't care about the captaincy that much.
