John Terry - Gone

[Lastfootstamper]

And what did Bruce actually say? Anything about contract clauses or demands from the player?

"We'll not pick him against Chelsea if that's he wants,"

Now that's obviously in response to a journo asking him something along the lines of "We understand John Terry has requested not to play against Chelsea if Villa get promoted.  What's your view on that Steve?"

If it were bollocks, surely Bruce would've said that's a load of rubbish, rather than answering the way he did?

You don't know if that happened. Terry himself has said it was bollocks. And where did said journo get the info for this imaginary conversation that Terry's requested not to play against Chelsea? Again, Terry's denied it, so it wasnt from him.

Seems like the only Percy we can trust is the one who posts on here and I don't think he's even really a Percy.

Obscure website says the worst case. The horse's mouth says it's bollocks. Let's go with the bullshit and get hysterical.

Who's getting hysterical?

Given Bruce is directly involved in the discussions, how's a direct quote from him not from the horse's mouth?

Since when did the Telegraph become an 'obscure website'?

The day a quote from me that I'd never said appeared in the Dictionary of Football Quotations was the day I first thought that direct quote = must be the truth was bollocks. The second time was when the Mail ran a back page lead about a quote from me that was totally fabricated. Other examples are available.

I wonder if the fact that Lampard has apparently applied for the Derby job might affect Terry's decision about his future. Derby might be interested in a double act ...

In a parallel universe with Villa playing Chelsea in a Champions League Final, would John Terry really rather sit it out?

Would you contribute to stopping Villa winning the CL?

Touching moment after the game where Terry goes over to Jack, who looks gutted, and gives him a pep talk. It should have been the other way round, it was obvious Terry had shed a tear or three.

[ROBBO]

Jack is the only one that was making things happen and to my mind he was the only reason we qualified for the play offs. There lies the problem wingers who are not fast enough and midfielders who are not good enough, he may have been upset as it could be his last game in a Villa shirt.

Hope he gives us another 12 months he has been immense

[mr underhill]

he wouldn't last another season. I'd like him to stay in a player coach role maybe.

[Phil from the upper holte]

 It was probably the most touching moment of the game

[Risso]

He was rubbish yesterday. Looked every bit his age.

He was rubbish yesterday. Looked every bit his age.

My thoughts exactly.

[Bad English]

I'm still chuckling at 'John Terry's still-wet dick'.

Then again, I've got a maturity-quotient of 14½.

Yes the Fulham manager's old and tired comments proved to be correct

He has done well this season but he should be let go now.
