John Terry - Gone

[olaftab]

Terry will make a better captain than Chester on the pitch ....he is more vocal

Therefore Joey Barton will be an even better captain in any team.

Just found the Shrewsbury v villa game live stream. There's a link on the Birmingham mail website

There's also one in the thread all about the match on this forum.

Your welcome

He's here, he's started. he looked okay as did the defence first half. he's going to do his CL in training isn't he?

[KevinGage]

At least one of our new signings in recent seasons has copped a long term one, so there is every chance.

Did anybody hear the John Terry magic hat song a small group of fans in the corner of the side stand were trying to get going today ?

Only caught the end bit...."and now he's claret and blue, and when we get promoted he'll shag your missus too".

[LeeB]

Now we've got him, I'm kind of hoping he's an absolute ****** in terms of winding up the opposition and generally leaving a trail of embittered opponents cursing as we walk off with the points again.

I think I want us to go up hated. No, I long to be hated again, and not just by the rags.

Looked quality. Said though gritted teeth.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Thought he looked accomplished, and Chester played well with him. Pleased with that starting back 4, just no more changing for two right backs in proper games please.

[ozzjim]

That will depend on the glass man remaining fit by the looks of it. Elphick is clearly leaving soon and Richards should never be considered for a processional football team again. He has clearly taken up powerliftong or arse widening as his main interest.

[AV5nobs]

Enjoyed the game, day out and JT looked well above what we have had.

Can't wait for the new season.

[passitsideways]

Actually played some decent forward passes through the lines, which is more than what could be said about Baker and Elphick last season, and probably Jedinak as well if he played at CB.

Pity we don't actually have anyone who can make any use of them.

I can just picture our midfield now, suddenly the ball is at their feet, instead of waiting for the usual throw-in after a pass from our defenders.

[JUAN PABLO]

he knows how to pass to his own players , he just needs to show half the team how to do it.

[old man villa fan]

I didn't want us to sign him for various reasons but now he is here, I want him to do the best for the Club.

How true his distribution is fantastic
