        Totally with your angle on this (Other Football) - pants, Feb 26, 11:18:05
        
        Yup. Its Terry or bridge. Terry is the bigger wanker, but the better player. (n/m) (Other Football) - megson, Feb 26, 11:24:15

    - i don't understand how he can say his inclusion could be divisive (Other Football) - SCC 28, Feb 26, 11:06:09
    - But he should be able to put personal feelings aside for the good of his country (Other Football) - Old Git, Feb 26, 11:05:30
      - "good of his country"? (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Feb 26, 11:15:02
