John Terry Wrong Choice As England Captain—I Back Steven Gerrard

So Fabio Capello has chosen John Terry as his full-time England Captain.

Well, the referee will always be on the other side then. After all, England now have their own!

It was always going to be a tough choice for Capello with Terry's track record (great as a player but poor in respect) or Rio Ferdinand, who once was banned for eight months due to a missed drug test.

Two fantastic role models.

When things get tough all those two can do is moan and put a tackle in.

Steven Gerrard, on the other hand, will single-handedly save the day.

Just ask Liverpool!

Anyone remember the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final or the 2006 FA Cup Final? An inspirational Gerrard was in evidence there.

Both times Liverpool fought back from behind and both times thanks to goals from Stevie G.

John Terry's European Cup Final experience was to take the deciding penalty kick because, well, he is John Terry and he's the only guy for the job.

Oops, was that another wrong decision John? Maybe you should tell the ref!

I hope John Terry can behave this season and maybe avoid grabbing officials as England do their best to reach South Africa 2010.

I doubt it though!
