I'm not a fan of JT but I think he could do a job for us this season. However he will quickly become disinterested and count the days down to the end of the season as he has played under some of the best managers around and now he is playing for SB.

we should never have signed him and frankly I was amazed at the positive reception he had on the opening day and the amount of Terry shirts I saw. Once a cnunt always a cnunt

Still think Terry was a good idea? We've just come up against a little bit of pace and we got ripped apart.

Chester and Hutton struggled with the pace. Terry didn't.

Chester and Hutton struggled with the pace. Terry didn't.

The highlights were almost comedic, Hutton getting skinned down the outside early on and turning around to give a generic bollocking to the rest of the team.
Cut to next highlight of him absolutely shanking an easy clearance on the edge of his box, I think leading to the goal.

I say 'I think' because I can't bear to watch it again and check.

I was on my way to Lords a week ago to witness the Bears'  unlikely annihalation of the current County Champions. The tube trains were packed with Chelsea and Arse fans and many of whose wearing blue shirts had Terry's name on the back.

“He does three days at Villa, and does his recovery at Stamford Bridge. He’s being spotted in the ice bath with the Chelsea players still. He’s got to let it go. He’s a Villa player. He’s supposed to be captain.”

He shouldn't even be in London with our current two games a week schedule. I said at the time i wasn't sure about the deal, as i was more than happy with our defence last season (Hutton apart) and i'm sure the wages on Terry could've been put to better use elsewhere

But as long as he's here he'll get my full support

Not great if true.

Although it feels a little unpalatable I can understand it

The guy, his family and kids have been settled in London for the last 20+ years so he is hardly going to uproot all of them to move to Birmingham - especially on only a 1 year contract same as I would not expect him to commute up the motorway 5/6 days per week.

I work by having an office in Manchester and one in Brum - I spend 3 days up there and 2 here as to bash that M6 each day or to be away from home for 5 days is a none starter.

He has to keep fit so being able to use the facilities at another club is a benefit - maybe some of the techniques they have might rub off on him and in turn our club - lets face it not going to happen with Bruce!

I would imagine this concession was a major factor in him joining us

Probably not true. Rosenior struggles for work since the Championship was scoffed up by Sky and I think he's trying his hardest to be heard. What a boring article, there's nothing there, and if it was true then so what, who really cares. Going 2 hours down the road back home for an ice bath....crack on.

Rosenior who has a contract with Premier League Brighton? Wish I struggled for work in a similar fashion.

Personally I rather him immerse him self in villa culture and be bonding with villa team mates off field.
It's only a year . Needs to take on job and be local . Rosenior is right about letting go I question the other day when he appeared in Instagram photos .
Unlikely to build team spirit when the ex is around . You're with us now JT. This has gone Charles Diana and Camilla  sniff about it . Similar  scenario
We needed a  Paul burrel loyalty not this 3 days non committal business

Top post, never thought I'd see a Princess Dianna and John Terry together in a football analogy.
