John Terry is a hilarious stand-up king

Filed Under Idiots, International, fun

Speaking after scoring a goal in last night’s game against the mighty USA, John Terry said:

I’ve shown that I’m a big man. I take full responsibility for what happened in Moscow but I’m a man for the big games and I’ve shown that.

Firstly, anyone who says ‘I am a big man’ is opening himself up for the kind of ridicule and scorn normally reserved for men who thump their chests and say ‘Come on then! Come on then!’ in a pub fight and then get knocked out with one punch.

And let’s be clear, scoring in a meaningless friendly against relatively poor opposition like the USA does not make you a ‘big man’, nor is it a big game. Had he saved this kind of empty rhetoric for next season when he scored the winner against United or Arsenal or Liverpool in a crucial league game then you might say he has a point, but to do it after last night’s goal was just plain daft.

This was the best bit though:

That goal was for the fans and in particular the Chelsea fans who have been great to me and really helped me through it. That was for them.

Wow, I’m sure they’re grateful for an England goal.

‘Forget the Champions League, at least JT scored against England and he dedicated it to us! I feel so much better now!!’

Give this man his own TV show.

    Looked like he was about to start crying when he scored the goal.

    Mancs were all giving him patronisng and sarcastic hugs haha.

    A crappy friendly game against USA. Grow up.

    Apparently the header was 12 yards out - pity bhe couldn’t take the penalty with his fat head.

    Hilarious? Would be if he wasn’t so pathetic, and such a horrible cheating, moaning, Chav!

    Yessss… well played Mr Terry. A missed goal in a title game from a PK and a goal against a significantly weaker opponent in an international friendly from a set piece are very comparable. Well played indeed.

    I too got a good chuckle out of “I’m a big man.” Who the hell actually says that? David Brent?

    Please excuse the plaigarism, I take no credit for this, posted by Goodplaya on the 26th of March in relation to Arsenal’s 2-1 loss at Stamford Bridge this season. The moral to this story however? Karma’s a bitch JT.

    “Anyway, on a lighter note, I thought I’d tell you about my brother on Sunday.

    He watched both games with a Man United supporting friend and his Dad at the friend’s family home.

    It had been a pleasant enough afternoon by all accounts up until John Terry elected not to return the ball to us after we had interrupted our own attack to let Joe Cole get treatment.

    At which point the brother rose to his feet and let out a very loud and totally involuntary “You f*****g c**t Terry”. The silence that followed was a long one.

    Mind you, we’ve all done it.

    On a serious note though, it was genuinely perhaps one of the least sporting acts to be seen on a football pitch in a long time.

    We have all head of not giving the ball back when an opponent goes down and their team-mates deliberately kick it out to waste time. Fair enough.

    But when your own man is in agony and the opposition break up their own attack to allow treatment, that’s something else altogether.”
