Carrie from #Homeland has got to be hands down the most frustrating, complicated, stressful, maddening character ever to grace a TV series. My Lord, the poor decision making is LEGENDARY.
Yes Carrie IT IS ALWAYS HAPPENING TO YOU 🤬🥴🥴

The greatest Premier League centre-back ever is John Terry, and for me it isn’t close.
People often reduce the debate to trophies, but Terry’s case goes far beyond. He had everything you could ask for in a centre-back. He was dominant in the air, elite in one-on-one defending, outstanding positionally, a brilliant organiser, fearless in putting his body on the line, and he was far better on the ball than he gets credit for.
What separates Terry from most defenders is that he combined elite ability with unmatched longevity. He was the defensive leader of one of the greatest Premier League teams ever, captaining Chelsea to 5 Premier League titles more league titles as captain than any other player in Premier League history. He also remains the only player to feature in all 5 of Chelsea’s title-winning Premier League campaigns.
Then there are the individual accolades.
This wasn’t just a defender respected in England, he was recognised globally. Terry was selected in the FIFPRO World XI for 5 consecutive years (2005–2009). Think about what that means. For 5 straight seasons, players from all over the world voted him into the world’s best XI. During an era that included, Fabio Cannavaro, Carles Puyol, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Alessandro Nesta and Sergio Ramos, John Terry kept his place year after year. That level of consistency at the very top is extraordinary. L
He also won the PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2005, becoming one of the very few defenders to ever receive the award, and was named UEFA Club Defender of the Year three times. Those honours weren’t given because he was popular, they were earned because he was consistently performing at an elite level.
His numbers are remarkable too. 214 Premier League clean sheets, the most by any defender, and 41 Premier League goals, also the most by a defender. He wasn’t just stopping goals, he was scoring crucial ones as well.
Every great Premier League centre-back has a case. Rio Ferdinand was arguably more elegant on the ball. Van Dijk may have reached a phenomenal peak. Vidic was an unbelievable warrior. Kompany inspired Manchester City. But when you combine peak, longevity, leadership, consistency, trophies, individual recognition and influence, John Terry has the strongest résumé of them all.
That’s why, for me, John Terry isn’t just one of the greatest Premier League defenders, he is the greatest Premier League centre-back of all time.
