Terry's been shown the door.

Fabio Capello said he wouldn’t rush into a decision, that he would hear John’s side of the story, yet it took all of twelve minutes for him to decide that Mr Terry was no longer going to be England captain under his regime.

It is reported by the Daily Mail UK that the last straw was the hiring out of the Wembley captain’s box by John Terry’s associate Anthony White, an ex-member of the David Beckham foundation.

The new captain incumbent will be Rio Ferdinand, the crocked Manchester United centre-half, with Steven Gerrard as vice-captain, Gerrard looking likely to lead the team out if Ferdinand’s chronic back injury and dip in form continues.

However, John Terry looks set to keep his place in the English XI and Carlo Ancelotti was quoted as saying that this would not affect his choice for the Arsenal match (on Monday morning 2 55 am AEST).
