Why irritated? Loathe as I am to say this, Terry is a really good captain. He's a leader, he's inspirational and he's proven himself at club level. As for not being great, I would beg to differ. He's one of the best in the world in my opinion.
Besides, even if the captain's armband is given to Terry, it doesn't mean Gerrard can't lead ..
