I think it's because he's shit and probably won't even play anyway there are far better English left backs than him

Yeah totally agree. He's made himself to look quite pathetic, if he truly wanted to keep his dignity then he should rise above it by carrying on with his career regardless. No point crying over spilt milk.

Alot has been said in the media lately about the example footballers set to kids as role models. The John Terry scandal was one thing, but to spit your dummy out, take your ball home and say 'I'm not playing anymore' when faced with adversity is another bad example.

In the words of Mr T 'Get some nuts!!'

He's a professional footballer, he's in a priviliged position he could date practically any women he wanted and he's willing to throw it away. I've lost respect for the guy.

I hope he gives Terry a slap on Saturday.

To add to the footballer chodes I would like to submit Ashley Cole. His comment yesterday made me chuckle. Basically he is blaming his cheating behaviour on the fact that his girlfriend forced him to live with her mother at his house.

Does admitting that you are under the thumb ring a bell Ashley? It kind of sums up the blame culture we live in too.

This guy is a legend, sums it up beautifully

I just heard another point of view on the whole bridge/terry debate on the times football podcast and it got me thinking...

Bridge has a son, so was he thinking about his son rather than his career?

If he plays for England goes to the world cup with the media circus that follows the stories are not going to stop so he drew the line and sacrificed his chance although a slim chance of a World Cup medal.

Bridge isn't as good a player as Terry, did he take this into account with his decision? He didn't make a instant decision he took his time and concluded that the situation was unacceptable.

You can say that the player to do something should have been Terry however he persuaded his wife to forgive his affair but also to appear all happy in public with him as well. He could have stepped down from the captaincy and made a public apology but he didn't do any of this, he waited to be deposed.

We can't be sure of all the details but after seeing things another way I'm starting to think, is Bridge really such a chode? He has a son surely that's more important than kicking a ball about? Also has he actually made things easier for England and the man that wronged him (there is speculation that it went on for longer than reported).

After all the shit behaviour footballers get up to has Wayne Bridge showed he's not like the rest and been a man and taken action where others wouldn't?
