Suarez has been regularly criticised in […]

By By Far The Greatest TeamPosted on October 8, 2012July 10, 2017Posted in Premier LeagueTagged Ashley Cole, FA, John Terry, Racism1 Comment

Commission conclusion – It’s not just “highly unlikely” that Ferdinand accused Terry of calling him a “black cunt”, but that he did not, because in the brief time that it took Ferdinand to advance up the pitch towards Terry, why would the focus of Ferdinand’s abuse and insults of Terry have changed so quickly from […]

Can Chelsea man still claim to be a Captain, Leader and Legend?

By By Far The Greatest TeamPosted on October 2, 2012July 10, 2017Posted in Premier LeagueTagged Chelsea, John Terry3 Comments

John Terry is a more interesting and complex man than most of us think. Here is a man who – to many – embodies everything wrong with the modern footballer. The view is he is grossly overpaid, egotistical, he is a thug, he is rapacious, he is a cheat, a liar, a man-child. He believes […]
