Ferdinand Named England Captain

[RhylRed]

**** I hate that wobbly mouthed ****!!

Good player though!!

[Colemere]

He's a big enough prick without an arm band, imagine him wearing one

[Vermilion]

Lets be honest, in both games vs us he was brilliant, Torres and Gerrard hardly had a sniff.

Torres's ankles & calf's certainly knew they were in a game.

**** team, **** captain, **** friendly.

Who gives a ****

Just heard another classic example of just how thick Ferdinand is. In an interview on the radio he was asked about Neville being out for so long this season and how they've coped with it. His answer was about how they've been ok as Giggs has taken over and acted as leader/captain. he said something along the lines of:

"... but Ryan Giggs has stepped up and taken on his mantelpiece"

[FatTony]

Heard him being interviewed today on the radio...not the sharpest tool in the box...

An all time low and I won't be watching.

A clown of a man. This ****er is due to get an outrageous roasting soon...hopefully they draw barca and eto'o Henry and co will show him up to be an overhyped ****!

[Dalglish]

Sounds like one of the Manc nights out he organises

[Jack D Rips]

I have to say that of players I hate the druggie tops the list. I just hate his ugly sneering mug

[Fiddy]

I think the only time I laughed on Sun was when the cartoon-lipped retard put all his concentration into booting the ball away...then looked all indignant when Bennett realised he actually would have to book a Manc for something.

Don't care really that he's got it now, but permanent would be a joke. Still, who else is there, that cunt Terry or Stevie? Read a rumour about Barry the other day, he might actually be the best option

[Matt]

That's just confirmed the fact that I won't bother watching this match now. If watching a bunch of over rated celebrity magazine pin ups wasn't bad enough now we have to watch camel gob strut around the pitch like he's Beckenbauer.

Was going to go the pub for lack of something better to do but probably won't bother. It's hard enough to muster much genuine enthusiasm for England anyway but with Rio in charge it's nigh on impossible to cheer them on. All I can hope for is that SG/PC give a good account of themselves and report back with no injuries.

Oh dear

Capello is rotating captains and giving the senior players a chance to stake their claim. Everyone seems to have a clean slate under his regime. I don't see whats wrong with Ferdinand being given a shot to be honest, he seems to have done a decent job when standing in for the mancs, is undoubtedly a first choice player and a senior one.

I don't like him, but then I dislike the majority of the England team.
