Back of the net

Last updated at 15:43 03 May 2006


This week's caption competition featured England defender John Terry hitting the back of the net.

Terry, who almost certainly has captained the Blues to successive titles, has been outstanding this year and once again was shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award, which he won last season.

Yes, we know it was back-to-back Chelsea but the picture of big JT flat on his back just seemed perfect for your primed sense of the sublime and the ridiculous.

And you certainly didn't fail to disappoint with arguably the best collection of captions yet!

After much deliberation and more chin scratching we declare this week's King of the Captions to be John Monk in Highbury for his line: "Sven was prepared to try anything to keep David James out of goal." Amen to that.

Honourable mentions go to Kate Snape, Brian in Silvertown and Tony in Stockholm.

Last week's Jose Mourinho-themed competition winner was

Alain Mahmoud in San Francisco. Find out why.
