And LGJM proves everyones point

To be fair, I think he's got a bit of a point about some of it and has actually put a couple of decent points forward rather than the oft-trotted out 'he's John Terry, therefore he's a w@nker'. I've never really understood why people have so much hate for him. Even before the incident with Ferdinand people went on and on about how much they hated him. Yes he's had his various indiscretions and he's hardly the sort of person you'd want kids looking to as a role model, but there's people who have done similar, if not worse, yet escaped the sort of vitriol that's been aimed at him.

The reason people don't like Terry. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... occer.html Racial Abuse Conduct on the field Cheating on his wife Generally being a tedious rat faced tw'at. The reason nobody has a pop at United is that we're bigger than the game.

And talking of cheating on wives. Robin Van Persie. Not just cheating on his wife, but managed to get accused of rape as well.

Wasn't the rumour that the reason Eric Cantona was allowed to leave Leeds was because he'd been doing Lee Chapman's Mrs, Leslie Ash.

.....Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Moore, Peter Shilton, Bobby Robson....yawn....etc....etc

it's always gone on - who gives a monkeys ?

LGJM:

What are you after, LGJM? Do you want everybody to say they hate these people as much as Terry?

I hate Ferdinand, Giggs, Cantona and whoever, but Terry is still an absolute c[iu[/int and just about everything about him irritates me. From the media love-in about his ability, to his own stupid arrogance making him think he's bigger than his club and country. I've never hated somebody I don't know more than John Terry, the man is up there with the peds of the world.

I see nothing has changed in this thread.

All I'm doing is pointing out that everything Terry has been done has been equalled, and in many cases far surpassed, by a bunch of players Mark will class as "heroes".

You are free to form any irrational hatred you wish. It doesn't mean that I, as a Chelsea fan, have to accept your irrational hatred as the truth.

plenty of united fans I know think Rio is a dick though, brilliant player in his prime, but a bit of a dick (as many players are). That said, if I had millions in the bank, fanny on tap and ridiculous adulation I'd probably have landed myself in a scrape or two over the years

Modern media? How'd you work that out? I hate almost everything I see or hear about John Terry. It's nothing to do with the media, IMO he's loved by many and he's been worshipped as a great player for many years when I've always felt he was average to decent at best. If I believed the media, I'd believe Terry is brave, a leader amongst men and one of the greatest defenders to have ever lived. Fortunately for myself, I don't go with the media's BS and usually do what you do -- form my own opinion and go from there. You don't have to accept my opinion or hatred as fact, to be honest there's very little you can do to change it, so you should probably just get on with it. My dislike of Terry comes from more than just the 'incidents', it's his general ways, his behaviour on the pitch, his alleged behaviour in getting rid of a few managers and so many more things.
