Celebrating 500 matches for the Captain

Yes, indeed, England’s Brave John Terry celebrated his 500th Chelsea appearance on Saturday against Tottenham.

The Captain is only the fifth player to reach the 500-game landmark for the Blues: alongside legends Peter Bonetti, Chopper Harris, John Hollins, and the vice-captain, Frank Lampard.

John Terry has been part of Chelsea through all of our recent successes, from the original climb up to a Champions League position to our current period under Roman Abramovich. He’s the most successful captain in our history, lifting two League Cup trophies, two Community Shield trophies, three FA Cup trophies, and three Premier League trophies, of course, including the Double last season.

He’s our leader. Frank might be the engine, but JT calls the troops to duty. It has to be hard to help control some of the egos that can be part of our dressing room, but JT does it. Not to mention he is one of the best central defenders in Europe. He may not have the greatest pace, but he’s good at reading the game and knowing what to do with the ball. He’s scored some fantastic goals, becoming Chelsea’s top-scoring defender, and provided some amazing long balls up the pitch that can lead to goals.

So here’s the chance to open up a discussion to my fellow Chelsea fans: What is your favorite John Terry moment? The obvious candidates: Captain Fantastic celebrating the Double last year for the first time in the club’s history and his goal against Barcelona that sent the Spanish giants out of the Champions League in 2005 (his personal favorite moment). Maybe you guys can come up with some others. Have at it. And a huge congrats to the Captain!

Valencia hope La Liga matches go ahead

Valencia defender Angel Dealbert said training this week has continued as normal despite the threat of postponed fixtures in La Liga.

Football clubs in Spain are at odds with the national government because of a dispute over television revenue.Dealbert, 28, explained that the club has maintained the status quo as they prepare for Sunday’s trip to Getafe, which they hope will go ahead.”We are going to train for the weekend, and I hope that we play,” Dealbert said.”It is not us who decide, and we just have to train, wait and see. We aren’t talking about it at all in the dressing room. We want to play.”"We are training for this, and the process is getting drawn out, but it we haven’t spoken once about not playing. There is uncertainty, but we are training this week for the weekend.”Dealbert has featured in just eight La Liga appearances this season but said he wanted to remain at the Mestalla beyond this season.”I want to stay at Valencia, but I only have a year and one month left on my contract,” he said.”I hope to stay here, and I will fight next year to do so. It depends on the club. If they decided that they don’t believe in me or want to loan me out, then I will take that alternative.”"You never know what will happen in the future. The manager has treated me well. My intention is to continue at Valencia next year.”
