Would have been crazy not to give him an extension. Has hands down been the best centre back in the league this season and has been one of the key performers in our title push. Long may it continue.

What else can I give you?

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/03/terry-signs-new-deal.html Contract extension signed for another year ! :)

If this is true then Wolfsburg should just refuse to sell. What is the point in having a league if every team is just going to sell their best players to Bayern Munich all of the time ? De Bruyne's value isn't going to go down anytime soon, they should hold on to him for as long as they can.

Was always going to happen, he gets better with age like a fine wine! See Ya next season Mr Chelsea...

Fantastic interview with JT for Chelsea Pitch Owners: http://www.chelseafc.com/fans/chelsea-pitch-owners/cpo-news/the-john-terry-interview-for-cpo.html Speaks about Dennis Wise with undiluted adulation, talks about hilarious tasks as a youth players (like having to sit on toilet seats to warm them up for the senior players), praises the medical team who he calls the 'unsung heroes' and has huge praise for José. Well worth a read.

Henceforth known as Carl O'Cudicini

BOOOOOM

Captain Leader Legend!! ;) So happy now!

Great news he is still able to do such a briliant job

Fantastic news. Thoroughly deserved.

Best Call of Duties in my opinion since 3 (based on how good they were at the time of their release). Modern Warfare > World at War > Modern Warfare 2 > Modern Warfare 3 > Advanced Warfare > Black Ops II > Black Ops > Ghosts

It's a pathetic league I mean you even had players leave Dortmund for Bayern even though Dortmund had won the title.

Today he picked up his u21 England Player of the Year award Here he is, pictured with a fan.

Wow! He gives a foul away on average once every four games. That's phenomenal for a defender. In fact, scrub that, every single one of those statistics is phenomenal!

From Reddit: Talk of declining is very premature

Never doubted it for a second. He had to get a contract extension.

Fantastic news that we have JT for another year! Terrific player and continues to perform at the absolute top level!

Absolutly fantastic i dont think i could have handled it if JT had gone "on loan" to citeh..... ;)

The Bundesliga would be well worth watching, had Lewandowski and Gotze stayed with BVB.

Excellent, good to get this out the way early, great news.

Think he's grown more over the last two years then he did in the 5 before that. Rehabilitated his character in impressive fashion both on and off the pitch.

Already pre-loaded :)

When was the last time he went on a roll ? It's gotta be close to 5 years now hasn't it ?

Those stats were taken before West Ham. He now has a booking. Sack him.

That's alright Holland, English is my first language and I haven't got a clue what the f**k PloKs is going on about half the time. Just nod and smile politely.

You are making it quite hard for non-English people on here. I don't usually have to look up words on a football forum.Cheers though, for improving my vocabulary with your intriguing choice of favourite words.

At the end of this fevered, streaky oddly inevitable 1-0 victory at Upton Park John Terry could be seen limping around, holding his lower back and finally clearing the ball as West Ham launched another attempt to break through the apparently unbreachable blue membrane around Chelsea’s goal. Meanwhile, at the other end, Didier Drogba scrapped and fought and spoiled, a one-man time-wasting device. Looking up you half-expected to see Jiri Jarosik coming on, Paulo Fereirra covering at right-back, Sylvester Stallone abseiling down off the corrugated roof. Somehow in the last two months of a title campaign launched in a flush of youthful attacking football The Unbeatables have become something closer to The Expendables. Chelsea kept on rolling along at Upton Park. The only goal of a thrilling match was scored by Eden Hazard in the first half while West Ham were unlucky, Diafra Sakho missing a stream of chances. At the end of which it was a victory chiselled out of that champion resilience that runs though this team, given a familiar kind of ballast by Chelsea’s’s freshly re-contracted captain, a leader from the back whose presence continues to drive a relatively callow team on towards what would be a first league title for the rump of this Mourinho Mk2 Chelsea. Terry had a genuinely shaky match at times, exposed to the pace of West Ham’s strike pair of Sakho and Enner Valencia without the triple-ply protection offered by Nemanja Matic. The captain might have been sent off for a second booking. He was certainly exposed several times in a performance of weary limbs and accumulated strains. And yet somehow this still had the feeling of a very Terry kind of occasion, the sort of midweek cross-town derby win that tends to keep the engines thrumming towards a league title at this time of year. It has of course been a very Terry kind of week, with José Mourinho confirming the offer of a new one-year contract to take his captain into his third decade at the club. It will be a rare achievement too if Terry does win a Premier League title 10 years on from his first. Seven managers and 20 different central-defensive partners down the line here he is, still leading the team, with his own loss of mobility – Terry was never quick – counterbalanced by fine positional intelligence and a simple winning spirit. Terry is, of course, a local boy in these parts, a West Ham academician before he left for Chelsea aged 14. Not that there is any residual fondness at the Boleyn Ground for a player who, like Frank Lampard, has always been an object of venom. Here the home and away sections spent a large part of the match trading Terry-based insults while Terry’s touches were heartily booed throughout. With 14 minutes gone he was booked for a horrible foul on Valencia – not malicious or violent, just embarrassingly rustic, Chelsea’s captain grabbing hold of his man as he passed like a middle-aged security guard in pursuit of the local skateboard crew. Terry trotted away, reflecting perhaps on the absence of Matic who is particularly expert in shielding his stately captain from marauding attackers several years his junior. Here Kurt Zouma was asked to reprise his midfield-hustler role. He had another dogged match too although at times the differences between a fine, all-round defensive athlete and a genuine elite-level midfielder were clear once again as West Ham pressed Chelsea back, a familiar pattern in recent weeks for these gristly, resilient league leaders. Poor old Chelsea, under the pump again but they just keep on running away with the league. The opening goal came against the run of play but was still somehow totally unsurprising. Cesc Fàbregas swivelled in midfield and played a nice pass out to Ramires on the right. His whipped cross found Hazard in the centre and he buried the header. It was the first time since January that two of Chelsea’s attacking players have combined to create a Premier League goal. But this has been the trajectory of Chelsea’s season, a team that began in a flurry of attacking football but has spent the past few weeks in rear-wheel-drive mode, bolstered by a brilliant, match-saving goalkeeper and a defence that radiates an intangible, veteran assurance. It is hard to overstate Terry’s influence even after a performance where he looked at times scarcely able to compete but still somehow entirely convinced of his team’s eventual victory. If Chelsea do win the league this season he will have a captain’s share in four of Chelsea’s five title wins and 15 of 25 major honours won in the club’s 109-year history. Little wonder Chelsea are so keen to hang on to a player who for all his decelerating powers and physical travails, and whatever one’s opinion of his assorted non-footballing adventures, remains a specialist in how to win. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/mar/04/chelsea-west-ham-john-terry-driving-force-title-road

What are you on about now you old bar steward? I remember the days when you used to be funny!!

Mikel does his job to absolute perfection when ever he is called upon. He is the perfect player to bring on when we need to protect a lead and is completely reliable and always makes the defence feel a hell of a lot safer. His positional awareness is immense. He has been an extremely important player for us for years and still is when he is called upon. If we face someone like Real madrid in the CL I know I would feel safer with Mikel in the pivot than Rami or Fab. Just because he doesn't do anything that looks to spectaculer doesn't mean he isn't doing his job well. The lack of respect for him seems quite ignorant to be honest. Arsenal, Man u, liverpool would all be much better sides with a Mikel to help their leaky defences.
