If you'd really liked the pre-season thread, I can sticky it, for now.

If no one objects, I will.

by Shed Sun Jul 20, 2014 1:41 pm

Doesn't really matter to me.

It wasn't stickied last year and things worked just fine.

Up to you.

by Kick Sun Jul 20, 2014 2:41 pm

I do not mind either way.

I was going to leave it for a day, if anyone objects, I won't. If no one minds, I will.

John Terry planning hard work this season as he aims for another contract next summer:
Chelsea captain John Terry has admitted the he is continuously doing extra training to ensure this season at Stamford Bridge is not his last

"Things change. Players get older and move on. One day it is going to be me."

"I’m certainly going to be giving my all to make sure it is not at the end of this season."

"It’s an important year for me. Obviously I got a year’s contract and it’s dependable on how I do again this year, so it’s on me and I quite like that pressure. Hopefully we can go again."

"It comes back to that mentality where I always want to impress and do well."

"I came in with Jon Fearn, the physio, and we did some work both outside and inside, which just got rid of that stiffness and the blisters so that when the lads came in, I was already into it."

"It’s a head-start and it definitely served me well because I feel great already and hopefully it will benefit me later in the year as well."

"As long as the fans see my name and love me for what I do, I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks."

He's not really getting the recognition he deserves recently but its important to keep in mind all the sacrifices he made like playing through the pain using pills and stuff. Such a legend.

Others may not remember or acknowledge it, but we do.
