Was that comment on Terry and Ferdinand sarcastic? I can't tell. Either way, I agree, genuinely, that Terry and Ferdinand are brilliant defenders. They do cut defenders in half, when necessary. And most of the time they win the ball, too.

I don't actually mind physical football; if anything, I encourage it, because I hate seeing people going in for a challenge already apologising to the referee. Too much pussy-footing. It's the diving and feigning injury and calling for other players to get booked that I don't like. Because that's not what football should be about.
