I like Terry the footballer,committed and inspirational.When he was about 20 or so he was having a bad time at Chelsea and I think there was talk of us taking him for about 2 mil.It didnt happen and it kills me to this day.

I'm a huge admirer of him as a captain, one of the best out there.

For me the difference is Terry stooped to head that it was at Diaby's waist, meanwhile in Terry's he's full on kicked the guy almost in the throat, there was no stooping to try to head a ball, there was just Terry jumping in the air to try to play a ball with his foot. Not even close to the same situation.
He hit him in the chest on the follow through. It was a dangerous hit, but legal. This is what people are harping about when they say "he's too lightweight for the prem." Centre backs like Terry are destroyers, but Terry puts his body on the line every week as well. I could pull a dozen videos out of him doing something ridiculously stupid like throwing his face into someones foot to prevent goals in about 5 minutes. Its the nature of our league people love to gloat about but then criticise when incidents like this happen.baylorblue said:For me the difference is Terry stooped to head that it was at Diaby's waist, meanwhile in Terry's he's full on kicked the guy almost in the throat, there was no stooping to try to head a ball, there was just Terry jumping in the air to try to play a ball with his foot.

Though he knew it was a hard hit, as he crawled over to make sure he wasn't hurt. Anyway nobody was seriously hurt so alls well that ends well.

Then you must have loved De Jong's "tackle". I'm sure you never said an ill word about the challenge. Move it a foot up the body and you have Terry's. Bloody warriors they are, risking the bottoms of the cleats in the face of such danger. You want to say he put his body on the line in that Diaby challenge then fair enough, but it's hard for me to say he put his body on the line for a 6 1/2 foot karate kick.

Give it a rest. The tackle was head high with studs showing. He's a dirty ****, end of.
De Jong is another reason. If you go into the transfer forum you'll see pages of people saying "he's too lightweight for the prem". This is why. People like De Jong and Terry make these tackles and, well, imagine that happening to Neymar. He would probably die.baylorblue said:Then you must have loved De Jong's "tackle".

My only point is that Terry gives as good as he gets, he's got no qualms about taking the hard hits like the boot to the face. Its not like he's like Scholes who used to go around trying to break legs without being on the receiving end. De Jong and Terry are the physical prem players that tired cliche is born from, thats all I was saying. De Jong also strikes me as one who'd put himself on the line if it was necessary, he's actually the City player I most wish we had.
