Goats will be goats

From the Guardian, today, Marina Hyde is commenting on the big national issue of John Terry being a fucking skanky compulsively-cheating scumbag. But after all he captains Chelsea and England so what else is new?

"As Pat Nevin said in Newsnight's round-table discussion of the matter – Newsnight, if you please! – international football is different from club football, and in the former there should be plenty of leaders on the field. "We've got this extreme thing about the [England] captaincy," he observed. "In actual fact it's not as important as people are suggesting." Well quite. Otherwise we wouldn't have given it to David Beckham, whose Agincourt moment was rallying his England team‑mates not to speak to the media in the wake of beating Poland in 2004, thus depriving the world of the "lads did really well" platitudes which are the armband‑holder's stock-in-trade. (Forget his "heroism" in the fabled Greece qualifier: as Nevin stressed, you don't need an armband to lead by example on the pitch.)"

LMAO!! Marina, I love you!
