John Terry is quickly becoming one of Englands most hated and overated players, His response to the LBM kick at Cudicini was unreasonable and typical of a hooligan at a club that gets his beer accidentaly knocked.
We need to rid English football of these idiots, i would have understood if he complained to the ref about the challenge and demanded a booking, but where does he get off on trying to strangle another person, i can guarentee he would never have done that to Ashton or bellamy and stayed on his legs.

Stevie G? Under whose captaincy England achieved consecutive defeats against Russia and Croatia and led them to lacklustre performances to go out of Euro2008 qualificaion?

If you want a confirmed loser, sure. Or if you’ve lost all your marbles, why not?

Terry should have been sent off. It was an unreasonable reaction, and he grabs him by the throat. Do you think if that was Alan Smith, Joey Barton or Roy Keane the incident would go unpunished?

hell no.

Hopefully the new England manager picks a new captain. Stevie G anyone? And im a united fan…

Another vote for Mickey’s accurate view.

Also not to be forgotten that this was the same ref that allowed Terry to get a kick in the head in the cup final and gave no foul or booking to the offending player.

When refs fail to do their job, this is what happens.

So a few minutes later we all saw Terry running over to Mikel saying that his tackle on Parker was awful did we? No we saw him running to the ref whinging that Mikel shouldn’t have been booked despite him completely clearing Parker’s legs from under him when he had no chance of getting the ball. His double standards are appalling. Every challenge he looks for a foul and his diving is laughable. I used to admire Terry and thought he was a great defender but his actions make him look a complete prat.

Mickey has it spot on. There was nothing wrong with the left foot kick, it was the follow up with the right foot. That is why both Alex and Terry reacted. I find it strange that there is upset over a reaction, not the original action.

come on, watch it again. That second kick was not a mistake.

Look closer. Boa Morte makes an attempt at the ball with his left foot – then just kicks at Cuducini with the right foot. Nothing wrong with the left – but the right is just a blatant kick – no where near the ball.
that is why hte reaction is so strong. That is why the apology is so pathtic ane meaningless.

Plus the fact that this was already Boa Morte’s 5th or 6th foul of the first half. How he failed to get 4 or 5 yellows I will never know. Most of Chelsea’s yellows were for getting back at him.

great spot, and in total agreement
