John Terry stripped of England's armband...um, again.

[MrCoffee]

John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy by the Football Association's chairman, David Bernstein. The defender was informed of the decision by Bernstein in a phone call on Friday morning. It is the second time that he has lost the captaincy for off-the-pitch reasons.

"Following the decision to adjourn the court case against John Terry to July, the Football Association confirm he will not captain the England team until the allegations against him are resolved," the FA said in a statement.

The emphasis is mine and mine alone, except for the Guardian writer who made it the third sentence in the story.

Apparently 'FA' also means 'Fucking Arseholes'...
