🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ashley Cole

[Styles 9,790]

@Styles,

The funny thing is, our defense has gone completely to pot since he has been dropped. Azpilicueta has done allright considering he is a right back filling in, but with every passing game that fact is becoming all the more painful.

For the Arsenal, Liverpool games atleast i would rather we went back to type and played Ivan,JT,Luiz,Cole, as toothless at that looks going forward, i think that is still our best combination defensively, i think we average 1 goal allowed every 2 games with that back four.

Horses for courses, I guess. Mourinho has already spoken about bringing back the bus and parking it, so Ashley might as well be back in considering he won't be required to cross the halfway line and can only focus on defending.

Happy one says Jose too. However, you are on the bench or at home on Monday, he continued.

Wait & see. Jose had spoken, I read.

Wouldn't even be surprised if he is not in the squad on Monday and if we lose, the newspaper will start countless articles on how there is cold war at Chelsea between Cole and Mou(which probably is true for once)

The thing is he was playing him again and then he oddly goes to the arsenal Christmas party, why? I thought Arsenal hated him?

Jose said he wasn't giving an opinion but his comment about he will be on the bench or at home says it all.

Don't people realise you upset Jose your done :/

Of all the times to go to an Arsenal xmas party. When he's not been playing for us, under Jose Mourinho, half a week ish before we play them. Smart move Ash.

[The_Flash 1,144]

I like Ashley but it was an idiots move :/

[Wimbledonblue 94]

Great player and a club legend but there's no doubt he's thick as pig shit. Smart move going to your rivals Christmas party the week before you play them

[The_Flash 1,144]

Happy birthday Ashley, I do like you I think you are a great player and have been disappointed you have not been playing however what the *** we're you doing at Arsenal Christmas party, you must have known it would annoy Jose

[AndersonBLUE 819]

So he has friends at Arsenal, who cares? He plays for Chelsea and that's all that matters.

[The_Flash 1,144]

It's a bit inappropriate and he must have known it would upset Jose

Getting Arsenal players drunk dem tactics

Some rumours about Cole considering retirement. Mostly BS but I think he's on his way out of Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

It's not as big a deal as it's being made out, imo, but he should have asked Jose before going.

I think Ash is on his way out of the club soon.

Would you stay ? AC one of the best in UK. Now, Jose plays games with him. Whatever he does in his free time, it should not be of Jose´s concern, I feel. I know, some might say, why Arsenal, but he might have done just to spite Jose ?

These games are for kids & not for professional footballers, I feel. Sad as it is, stupidity was always part of Chelsea.

In theory he should be able to do what he wants in his free time, but players know that they should have the club's image in mind whatever they do. Because doing something silly like attending Arsenal's party a few days before we play them gives the media something to write and make stories about and you end up discussing the event and not focusing on the game like we are right now.

He's always been a bit of a twat but he was a great player so he was allowed a lot of latitude. Now he's not doing it on the pitch so he can't get away with as much off of it, although this whole story makes me feel a little sad for Ashley.
