Obviosuly a good player, but possibly not quite as good as most think, since he played in some very good teams, usually for a manager who set it up with a world class defensive midfielder in front of him so his weaknesss weren't exposed very often.

 

He benefitted from the money flooding into the game, and in his case, from the Russian people to his pocket! As a man he was possibly racist, see Anton Ferdinand above; and Wayne Bridge had no time for him after he slept with his missus. Oh, and wasn't he also one of the drunk louts laughing at Americans in the wake of 9/11?

 

All in all a good player, but a lucky one who made vast sums far in excess of his talent, with some very questionable episodes on a human level.

[TheHowieLama]

Carvalho was the better player.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Did he really suggest he start the game and go off in the 27th minute to a guard of 'honour'? In an actual fucking league game? Unbelievable.

Chelsea being Chelsea.

When he dies he's asked for the full on funeral with honours, Union jack draped across hiss Gold coffin with a 21 gun salute. 

[The Golden Eel]

Always had a mistake or two in him, but he was always adept at palming off the blame onto his partner.

 

Racist prick.

 

Full kit wanker.

 

Treacherous shagrat.

 

Comedy moron.

Terry, 31, is accused of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match between Chelsea and QPR on October 23 last year. Terry denies the charge.

The moment of misunderstanding in the trial arose when Terry was asked to repeat the evidence that he had been sent off four times in his career, so the court could hear him.

“Can you say, please, four times?” asked his QC, George Carter-Stephenson.

“Please, please, please, please,” Terry responded.

Huge laughter broke out around the courtroom.

 

Good riddance to the cunt.

 

Ha, never heard that one before

 26 gun salute.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Don't know,but he was on Dr.who last night .

[Guest Pistonbroke]

 26 gun salute.

 

Best to make sure he's dead. 

[Hades]

He was an excellent defender, but as is the case with defenders, the ones that throw themselves into last-ditch tackles and shows of bravery get more credit than the ones that are perfectly positioned and anticipate everything. 

[SammyAftershave]

Let's not be small time here. Terry was a dominating presence and a real threat especially if you were black or were frightened of the sight of grown men bursting into tears

 

...his teammate and he was shagging your wife on the sly (as in Wayne Bridges case).

[suzy]

I knew he was subbed off at 26 mins but I've only just found out they wasted 2 minutes actually doing a guard of honour mid game to get him off! How embarrassing! Supposed to be all his idea - no class at all!

[Anubis]

He's a bellend and massively overrated, he's played in solid defensive teams that were all over their opposition for most of their games his whole career.

 

Liked to have seen him play in a Rogers side against Real Madrid.

 

Saved me typing time.

[Lee909]

If i was Moyes yesterday id have told my team to do everything to keep the ball in play at 26 mins yesterday

[Harry Squatter]

If they were playing a Mourinho team he would instruct his players to go down injured on the 26th minute then waste 5 minutes getting a stretcher then call a female doctor a slag.

[Red74]

Chelsea have got history of doing cringey pre arranged shit like this. Let's not forget Wise taking his baby up with him to lift the FA cup, or those toe curling celebrations him and the likes of de matteo would all do in front of the cameras. (I reserve the right to withhold evidence of Phil, Bob and sadio's early season cringe fests).

 

Oh, and Terry is still a twat

[Jay86]

He was an excellent defender, but as is the case with defenders, the ones that throw themselves into last-ditch tackles and shows of bravery get more credit than the ones that are perfectly positioned and anticipate everything.

Carvalho was twice the defender for these reasons, he was also a prick but he was a sneaky prick, he'd give strikers a nudge before the ball even left the foot of the assister and then just stroll off with the ball but then Terry got all the recognition because he'd headbutt the strikers foot mid volley.

[stringvest]

The problem Terry has, and will continue to have, is that for everyone who is not a Chelsea fan it is impossible to dissociate the player from the person.  And in most people's eyes, Terry is a nasty piece of work, a real piece of shit.   Chelsea fans will defend him to the hilt, saying he's a really nice bloke, always helping out with charitable work, helps the young players etc, but that doesn't wash with the non-Chelsea fan.  

 

It's a bit like, though not identical to, the rep Suarez has amongst non-Liverpool fans.  

[VladimirIlyich]

Carvalho was the better player.

Being signed by Real Madrid late in his career would back this comment up.

Sean Dyche does.

Of course Moyes agreed to it. Even said if Sunderland had the ball in the 26th minute they'd kick it into touch.

How is that different to any other minute they have the ball?

I've had a shit at The Vatican, in the bogs when I visited Rome last summer.

The FA are relaxed about spot-fixing when it involves their golden boy Big Brave JT.

Thousands of pounds have been won in bets on Chelsea captain John Terry being substituted in the 26th minute of his final appearance at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The 36-year-old had arranged to go off against Sunderland in the minute matching his shirt number.

BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer said it raised questions of integrity.

The Premier League is thought to be relaxed about the matter, and the Football Association is not commenting.

One bookmaker said it had paid out on three bets, with one customer claiming he had been paid at 100-1 on a £25 stake.

He was given his winnings after being involved in an exchange on Twitter with the bookmaker as to whether the substitution occurred in 26th minute, when the board went up for Terry to come off, or the 28th minute, when he left the pitch.

The bookmaker said: "Clearly the send-off was planned for the 26th minute to commemorate JT - hence why we paid out."

Another successful gambler, who staked £10, anonymously told the Press Association: "I only put money on this because I thought this is surely going to come in.

"I don't normally bet. It's only the second time I've ever placed a bet.

"I was surprised the odds were that high."

Terry has admitted his 26th-minute farewell was his idea and he had agreed it with manager Antonio Conte.

Conte said: "He deserved this. He's a legend of this club, not just this club but one of the best defenders in the world."

Sunderland boss David Moyes said his side agreed to put the ball out to allow the substitution.

Former England captain Shearer said he was "not sure" about the timing of the guard of honour, adding on Match of the Day: "It was done with good intentions but I don't think anything should be done that could undermine the integrity of the game."

Fellow BBC pundit Garth Crooks was also critical, saying: "This has obviously been set up. I'm a bit uncomfortable with it."

[Trumo]

He can join that pie-munching cunt from Sutton.

Fair enough, he promised me some cup final tickets. Can't say fairer than that
