Quote from: brian green on February 12, 2018, 07:43:47 PMI think we should put our collective humour and creative skills to compose a written tribute to John Terry. I for one never, ever ever thought I would have a good word to say about him but I stand on what I wrote two weeks ago that he is the best player I have seen in a Villa shirt for a decade.Chelsea fans who by common consent are as thick as pig shit have announced JT as Leader, Legend etc. I think Villa should give him the Palme D'Or of being "as good as some past Villa players". Yes, I like that. Nicely understated.He's could be the next George Curtis.

As much as Terry looks to be enjoying life at the top of the Championship I'm not sure it's as clear cut him being up for a relegation scrap, losing more often than not.

Yeah, that's a good point. Going out on the high of a promotion may appeal more than fizzling away in a relegation fight. But I still think he'd be very useful and he has got some affinity for the team now. We'll see.
I'm probably slow on the uptake and this has probably been mentioned on here, but I just heard Sundays game was the largest attended home game he has played in.

Stamford Bridge holds 41,600 so he may well have played in front of larger home league crowds.Given VP has a capacity of 42,785 I'm not sure where the 1,500 empty seats were.

Given VP .....

I could see a couple of hundred in the corner but no more.
