Rio is Vice Captain - emphasis on VICE - hope he doesn't automatically get promoted!

[Fear 'n boozin]

possibly, but sleeping with a team mates recent ex (and mum of his kid), and pissing of other team members seems reason enough to me.

[SeanMacGabhann]

well if we are looking for reason enough, then him being John Terry would have been good enough for me

But Capello has overseen this kind of situation before and from what I understand he wasn't minded to strip terry of the captaincy for that reason alone

can't argue with that!

Internet rumours i've heard loads....but the one I hope is true is one of the 'Chelsea 5' is good old 'Cashley'

[matthew123]

What odds the dogs in the press will soon cut loose on Rio

[Jah Lush]

That's what I've heard too Quids.....and the other one is that Mr Bridge was allegedly dipping his wick elsewhere too.

[????]

I see nothing wrong in what Terry has done, the F.A. coaching manual clearly states "that if the left back leaves a hole the the centre half should fill it".

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh this just gets better and better

I might just buy every single Sunday paper for the first time in years this week

[????]

1. The Sun have lined up another EIGHT women who've slept with him in the last 18 months or so. Enough "for a couple of weeks of front pages". Including FHM's own HSH, Tanya Robinson.

2. The front page today - that Bridge's ex, Vanessa, has slept with five members of the Chelsea squad - is only the beginning. Two other Chelsea players - Gudjonsen and Drogba - were also sleeping with Bridge's girlfriend at the same time as Terry.

3. The Sun is also paying Vanessa ?250k to dish everything- including the fact that the "mystery" fifth Chelsea player is, depressingly predictably, Ashley Cole. Which should give Cheryl the excuse she needs to finally dump him (now she's no longer Racist Toilet Cleaner Puncher, but the new Nation's Sweetheart)

4. JT has also been sleeping with current team mate Hilario's wife (who also has kids).

5. Away from the bedroom, JT also owes Wembley a substantial amount of money for a box he owns and hasn't paid for, even after he had mates in there racking up a ?20k bill at the FA Cup final.

Probably all internet horseshite which I've just encouraged, I guess

[SeanMacGabhann]

but it's about England's Brave John Terry! so that's ok

And the rest is about Chelsea - so that's definitely ok

And it's all true

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at today's meeting

via translator:

"John... John. JT!... all this fuss over nothing. You are still my captain. Just reassure me there isn't anything else in the wings waiting to be revealed..."

"er,,,,,"

Big result for Newcastle tonight thumping Cardiff 5-1... oh how the Geordies must wish they'd let Chris Hughton carry on last season rather than bringing in that circus act from the sofa Shearer and Dowie.

W/e predictions: Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea all to score 4 goals.

And Arsenal 5.....

Personally, and I know I'm biased, but I think Rio will do a good job. 7 years since his drug ban and if he's good enough for Capello and Fergie then why not? I would have thought Stevie G would have been next choice though.

[Jah Lush]

If they're fit. My choice would have been Frank Lampard.

[ruffers]

I'm not sure Rio should even be an automatic pick to play, never mind captain.

[ratty]

Fook knows who should be captain. They are all coonts tbh.

Jamo for me I guess!

[Sandperson]

Same argument for Terry. He's a form player and shouldn't be an automatic pick. Lamps is a good shout but I still think Gerrard.

[ratty]

The same Steve Gerrard who beat some poor DJ to a pulp?

nah not him!

Bollox...3 games ( Pompey, Blackburn * Burnley) where I hoped for 9 points, would have been happy with 6, expected 5, 4 would have just kept us respectable...the reality 2 points, and right back in it. We now need to win some games we wouldn't be expecting too...staring with Birmingham on Wednesday.

At the top, well here we go..Top 4 looking familiar and Man U going nicely through the gear changes as they often do this time of the year.

Bollox of a day :X

..apart from the eggchasing

[Bluerevolution]

City were dreadful today, doubt we will be in contention for a top4 spot, maybe even struggle to top6 unless we get our act together.

Staring? I'd expect a bit of chanting too and maybe some handbags. But good to see that you don't expect to win in Wednesday.

What do you think has gone wrong Blue?

[????]

I'd have settled for a draw 3 games ago

[kpc]

If we both settle for a point now I'll see if I can get the ?35 back on my ticket.
