A defender is supposed to win aerial balls and block shots. That is his job.

But, for fuck's sake, the commentators go overboard on Terry. Like earlier, an aimless ball forward, shite pass by Everton, Terry basically trots over and clears it, and Parry goes off on one about what a fantastic piece of defending it is and how great Terry has been all season.

Don't get me wrong, Terry has had a great season and is a good defender in that style, but it's ridiculous how the media cream themselves over him.

Game's over now.
