John Terry / journalism

Didn't post this in the footie thread cos it's less about football than about the press...

I've been wondering about this vendetta against John Terry by the News Of The World.

Turns out he sacked his agent, Aaron Lincoln, in the summer, and for me since then the NOTW has been running a hate campaign against him, does anyone know of any links to the NOTW to Lincoln? Or any smart investigative journalists out there wanna look into it?

Aside from the fact that he's now being punished for sleeping with another teammates ex-girlfriend, which means that we're all meant to see the Alpha Male cock has owning the woman even after they're not in a relationship anymore. That might be an angle some of the female columnists want to look at, which they seem to have avoided.

Was she bridge's ex when the fling happened? If so, that's pretty sheisty by NotW. The guided tour thing was a top sting, though. And scuzzy behaviour on EBJT's part

Looking through the NOTW's coverage, yeah, they split and then he made his move, but that was stated 1/2 way through the article; and hasn't been stated by other rags in that kinda Chinese whispers type way that it works.

I'm not defending him or stickin up for him - he's a footballer! - I just kinda wanna know the back story behind it, it feels like there's more than is being told to the public. It feels like a revenge game going on, but I haven't found out why yet.

The papers haven't made it obvious that Bridge had split with her prior to Terry's involvement, but the fact is that Terry was still cheating on his wife, so he's not in the clear.

True, though it should make it an entirely personal matter. Certainly the calls for his sacking now seem absurd.

it's the culmination of things that mean people are calling for his head, not least the "charitable tours", his parent's shoplifting, and the fact he shags anything that moves behind his wifes back

So that's that, then

What I don't get, though, is why are the NotW so keen to get him when he writes a column for The Sun, their sister paper?

Also ahahahahaha

Journalism's cut-throat at the best of times. At the worst - i.e. NOW - it's every man for himself and fuck the family. England captains come and go, but their columns in the Bum are forever. And they may get the Terry sob story too, which would be double whammy.


And ha ha ha ha ha ha

Chelsea's new song:
CHELSEA, CHELSEA, WHEREVER U MAY B, DONT LEAVE UR WIFE WITH JOHN TERRY, HIS DAD DEALS COKE, & HIS MUM STEALS TEA, HE CRIED WHEN HE MISSED A PENALTY, CHELSEA CHELSEA WHEREVER U MAY B, DONT LEAVE UR WIFE WITH JOHN TERRY, HE CAN NOT SHOOT, & HE CANT FUCKING PASS, BUT HE'LL TAKE UR MISSUS UP THE ARSE

I'm glad that's happened, but it would be nice to see the papers apologising to the English people as a whole for conducting a concerted campaign to get the captain of their football team unfairly sacked and subsequently ruining any World Cup chances. The whole sordid thing hasn't nearly come to light yet.

As my friend pointed out, Terry and Ferdinand are the new Derek and Clive

As Terry sat in the glass panelled dock, Ferdinand stood in the
witness box opposite. He told the court: "He called me a cunt, and I
called him a cunt back. And he gave me a gesture as if to say my
breath smelled.
"I said to him: 'How can you call me a cunt? You shagged your
team-mate's missus, you're a cunt'."
