Ladies, let’s play nice. We all have different views of this but there is only one opinion that really matters and that would be Mr Capello’s. He has made his call and whether you like it or not, this is what England has to work with. I think we should focus more on speculating about the WC and less on biting each others heads off because of something that isn’t in our hands to begin with.

What do you think about Carrick for an option?

Good LORD. Look, it's not exactly rocket science. Banging your teammate's girlfriend (ex-girlfriend, whatever) is hardly conducive to team unity. And as far as anyone arguing that people in normal jobs wouldn't get sacked for anything like this…well, this isn't a normal job. At the end of the day John Terry should have thought about the consequences of his actions before taking them – he's not a child. If he wants responsibility, he should grow up and stop acting like one.

And as for the secondary debate about the captaincy, I'm a Liverpool fan but I don't think Rio Ferdinand is a terrible option. While Steven Gerrard is obviously fantastic for Liverpool he's too inhibited for England, and while I personally think Wayne Rooney would be the best, we certainly don't need to over-tax him when his only priority should be scoring goals. So there isn't exactly a plethora of options here.

I'm inthis with you, love. I don't really care, but a spot of good coverage would do me just fine.

i think we all agree that what jt did was wrong, and maybe it was the right decision to take the england captaincy away from him, but i dont think this should be a permanent decision, just until the whole thing has settled down. i dont think that rio is the best person for the job cos if were talkin about role models then hes not the best is he (missing a drugs test and the sex tape!) i think frank would of been a better choice but never mindd.

thats all i have to say on the matter, andddd i think this is goingg too far with everyone argueing about it

kickette, thankss for the update thoo.

I don't get it: why the thoughtful analysis of Toni Poole's decision making process? Why the sad tone of and reticence to talk about this situation? When it's Makalele or Cole, everyone seems happy to wag their fingers. When it was Nereida disgracing herself, it was all good times. I'm not sure why the juicy details of this affair suddenly are the sort of thing to leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Everyone has known JT is a jerk for a long time so I'm not sure why it seems like I'm the only disappointed by the lack of doghouse coverage.

You are obviously a JT fan. However, cheating and deceit are just that. On or off the pitch. Plain and simple.

And um… did you see how well the US did that year? They crashed faster than Ronaldo and his car!

And, they blame the player not being on the team for that!
