Honourable Loveable English Pride, John Terry

The trend here though is that most of the names mentioned are English !

You wouldn't find it in the Guardian because it's trash, utter garbage.

Racist comment to Ledley King? does anyone want to repeat the "evidence" for that allegation? :rolleyes:
There is no evidence, it's a load of tosh made up by a Spurs fan and swallowed in its pure form by morons.

More shock horror for the Dandy readers here
'‘facking Argie cant’, ´he blows snot out of his nose onto Tevez’s neck'
:eek:
Is there anyone who has looked at that video, actually see that happening?
The video presented as evidence just ended up looking like the most obvious miserable schoolboyish hoax. Yet that counts as evidence to some people :D

BTW, I couldn't care less about Terry.

Fully agree with that, I was ****ed when I saw him stepping up to take it because I knew the money I had on the game was gone, it had nothing to do with bravery, Kalou was the obvious choice but even if he had to be one of the 1st 5 then why take the 5th? because the 5th pen is where the glory is(if its to win the game), not much glory in scoring the 1st or 2nd, most people only remember O'Learys pen against Romania in 1990 and not the other 4 who also scored.
The 5th pen taker should be the one with the coolest head under pressure which definitely isn't JT

To be honest i'd go the opposite way and have the coolest take the first one , try to get into the lead and stay there No point in having the best taker 5th if you're out of it by the 4th, Theres no accounting for skill in penalties , some of the best in the world have missed in them and some of the lesser lights have dispatched with ease , it really is a bit of a lottery

Fair enough its debatable whether to use the coolest head take the first one, I just feel there isn't quite as much pressure on the 1st and 2nd pens.
Don't agree there is no accounting for skill in penalties or that its just a lottery, luck is a factor but skill and most importantly mental toughness also come into the equation, its no coincidence that Germany virtually always win and England virtually always lose, I don’t believe its as simple as Germany being the luckiest team in the world and England being the unluckiest
