Quotes Of The Week: It's Not Terry's.... It's Mine!

They Say:

"I intend to make no comment whatsoever either now or in the future about these reports and ask that my privacy is respected," Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge asks for privacy in relation to the scandal surrounding former team-mate and 'Daddy of the Year', John Terry. Did he not notice all the clean sheets?

"I know everything. I can’t say anything at the moment but I will be back in London on Thursday," Fabio Capello say he knows exactly what went on with Terry's antics. He's able to tell the Woods from the Terry's.

"Footballers are young men, but they are role models and they are setting examples to kids out there - and they have to set the right examples," Harry Redknapp thinks footballers should set the right example. He's right! Look at other sports, like golf for instance. You would never see this kind of scandal in golf.

"The revelations will almost certainly affect his role as England captain, a position that requires a completely clean image," Jonathan Neill, sponsorship PR director at Synergy thinks John Terry's role as captain is under threat.

Well the next England captain might stumble upon a sweet endorsement deal for chocolate captain's armbands: "It's not Terry's.... It's mine!". Could Dawn French really lead England to World Cup glory?

"Guti is my friend in football, but a national team that has already been formed, and are champions of Europe, that is going to attempt to win the World Cup...he cannot possibly enter into it," Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster doesn't think Guti should be recalled to the Spain squad for the World Cup. His chances are about the same as Dawn French's.

"I was a guest at a hotel, but it's not true that I organised a party, even less true are the details that were reported," Prolific party boy Ronaldinho denies partying before the Milan derby, so Milan have no excuses then? The best team won on the night.

“The reality is that the side plays better [without Ibrahimovic], the team is now playing better football than it was last year,” Jose Mourinho says Inter are better without Ibra. They don't miss the Swedes goals but neither do Barca since they've won five out of the six games he's gone without a goal.


We Say:

Goal.com's Matthew Weiner's
objective view in his Arsenal comment is that the Gunners need a bit more bite ahead of the crucial Premier League showdown at the Bridge:

"The truth is that a juicy tackle here and there to strike fear into the opposition and fire up the Arsenal faithful wouldn’t go amiss at any ground - particularly Stamford Bridge." They could have done with some physicality last weekend!

"In the 26 subsequent games, an incredible 17 players have been dismissed. To put that into context, the Manchester derby has seen just five red cards in 35 games, whilst the North London version has registered just seven," signs are that the Mersey derby will produce a red card this Saturday as Goal.com's Liverpool analyst Neil Jones examines the trend of dismissals on Merseyside.

"Africa commiserates with Togo, and wishes that CAF would not make decisions to hurt football on the continent, and perhaps in subsequent appeals the judgment will be overruled, allowing the talented Togolese a tournament to forget the last one, so that they can move on and find some closure." Peter Pedroncelli takes a look at the ridiculous decision to ban Togo from the next two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

"Alleged anti-Semitism among the Curva Nord hardcore prompted journalists to look for negative reactions to Golasa’s arrival, and even a small Facebook group that opposes Jewish players wearing Biancocelesti colours has been discovered," Michael Yokhin unearths uproar, upset and a soap opera story to rival Westenders as Israeli Eyal Golasa joins Lazio.

You Say:


"hows this for an incentive.. win the trophies coz they spent half a billion on you all!" Matt in Cape Town thinks Real Madrid's stars shouldn't need further incentives to win trophies.

"Wayne Bridge should get the captaincy," M Logic, Fulchester Rovers proposes an interesting replacement for Terry as England captain. Could he fill the void left by Terry???

"What about Max Clifford?" Paul Wellings.

"Its funny how if an Italian team 'poaches' a player theres a huge outrage due to the "cheating", and "betrayal". However, if its an English team that does this, there is absolutely no problem at all and everyone supports this as they are "helping" the player and his family. This is appalling." Brente in the USA is unimpressed by double standards. Poaching is wrong, except for eggs....and salmon.

"He never had any!! He's another Emile Heskey!!!!" Norcs in Manchester thinks Zlatan Ibrahimovic has the goalscoring prowess of the Aston Villa front man.

"Another Emile Heskey, Norcs from Manchester? That was a joke, right? I can't believe Zlatan was compared with Emile bleepidy bleeping Heskey.. Wow, just wow. There are millions of idiots in the world, but you sir take the cake.." John Staumph in Parts Unknown
