John  Terry needs to  stay in the game.  He is well off, extremely well off compared to 99% of  us but he has his issues.  What he is doing  is right by him , doing everything right in our eyes (Villa).  And by the way we need him right now.

Pictures in the Daily Mail of him sprinting up the Holte steps and also receiving treatment down at Chelsea. He seems to be doing his bit to get fit.

Fair play to him.

There's a video on his Instagram of him running all over the lower Holte.

Fucking hell, bad enough that 50 Millwall took the Holte on Saturday but it only took one Chelsea.

I was never a fan of Terry, I'm still in the great footballer, despicable human being camp but I have to admire his desire and attitude, long may it continue and hopefully rub off onto some of the youngsters.

Haven't we got enough problems with the allegations of bullying without this?

He has done some questionable things in the past without a doubt, but I think 'despicable human being' is a bit over the top.

Yes, I was only thinking the same thing as I read it.

He has done some pretty despicable things to be fair.  I'm not convinced a racist outburst in the heat of a tough game truly defines him as a racist in the way he conducts every day life, but it's still pretty indefensible.  So is shagging your team mates wife etc.

With that said, he clearly has an excellent attitude at the moment and has been fantastic for us.  These incidents are well in the past and judging him just on the time he has been at the Villa it is really difficult to fault him.  I hope he leads us to promotion, picks up his fat bonus check and signs for another year.

John Terry Holte

I'll give him this. He wants to make the most of this opportunity and you have to set aside personal feelings about who he is and have respect for his professionalism and dedication. It's good for the club in a football context to have him there and highly influential to the other players.

Gabby has a similar video where he stops a few times to smoke, drink and down a pie before falling asleep. I don't know if he finished the run.

Am I missing something here?  Isn't trying to get fit as soon as possible what we pay him for?!

It is, but as we've seen, we've had several players recently who can't even be bothered to do the very minimum required.  When you've got wasters like Agbonlahor and McCormack, seeing somebody go a bit above and beyond what's required is good news, surely?
