I absolutely love the John Terry scandal. Love it. Love it almost as much as I hate John Terry. Which is a lot. I love it because what he's done is so unbelievably brazen (cheating on his wife by sleeping with his best mates girlfriend, who lives next door) that he thought he could get away from it. I also love it as finally he will get his comeuppance for being the white trash fool he is. Let's elucidate his previous misdemeanours
- Cheating on his girlfriend then wife and mother of his kids with a succession of 'busty' lasses, including a Page 3 Model, a FHM High Street Honey, a pornstar and a 17 year old well endowed in the chest area. These girls definitely got to see Daddie's Sauce Daddy of Year's Sauce. Saucy. And there are more revelations to come!
- Relieving himself in beer glasses in nightclubs. Fights in nightclubs.
- Getting drunk and abusing American tourists stuck at Heathrow on 9/11
- Gambling almost £40,000 a month on the nags.
- Soliciting £10,000 in cash from people who wanted tours around Chelsea's training ground.
- Parking in disabled bays.
- Trying to whore the position of England captain by fleecing as many sponsors as possible
- Openly flirting with Manchester City to get a better contract at Chelsea. Serial badge kissing to re-emphasise he is Mr Chelsea.
- Taking the last penalty in the Champions League final so he can claim all the glory by 'winning the cup' for Chelsea even though he doesn't take penalties and wasn't supposed to.
- Getting Mourinho fired after he questioned his fitness.
- Mum gets arrested for shoplifting £800 worth of goods from Tesco and Marks & Spencers. Tesco is an England team sponsor. Terry earns £170,000 a week basic salary.
- Dad is caught dealing 'great gear' in an Essex toilet.
So hopefully all his chickens will come home to roost today when he is potentially going to be sacked as England captain (which is meaningless anyway as a role).
I also love the Terry scandal for sheer amount of stupid opinions people have offered. This from former manager Dave Bassett in the Guardian...
"The problem is John Terry's a wrong-un. He's masquerading as one of the chaps but he ain't because this shouldn't happen," the former Wimbledon and Sheffield United manager said. "Of course you have players misbehaving when they're married. But they aren't doing it to a team-mate's missus. That's off bounds.
"It sticks in the throat. There's an unwritten rule that you don't start messing with players' missuses. I've had players who have left their missus or had bits and pieces on the side but they've not gone off with a team-mate's bird. That's crossing a line and where it comes unstuck with Terry. I don't recollect it in all my years in football.
"The trouble with this is that it could become a problem in the dressing room. A lot of the England players will look at him in a different light."
So according to Dave, it is all right to be a philanderer, in fact it is quite manly after all, but not on your team mate! That's where Terry went wrong. And of course there have been countless more. This story will run and run and run...I can't get enough!
