Ashley Cole

[robdog 2,084]

I know Cole has transformed to be a Better Blue, I have a really hard time shaking off the memories of Ca$hley playing w/ le goonies. I still remember him clearing a Gudjohnsen shot off the line @ Highbury in one of the Best Chelsea Victories I have ever witnessed. Still as long as no one @ Cobham gives him a gun, Ca$hley is pure gold on the left side. I heard he took PvA under his wing, so we can have really good memories of Ca$hley for a very long time

Please stop calling him Ca$hley.

THAT'S what you call a hat trick! Ashley Cole 'scores with three women in just one week'

It had been claimed earlier this year that Cheryl Cole was giving ex-husband Ashley another chance after his previous infidelity.

But, any chance the footballer may have had is likely to have gone out the window now, after claims that he scored with three women in just one week.

It is thought that the Chelsea footballer began his seven days of fun with an enjoyable evening with 21-year-old Playboy twins Carla and Melissa Howe.

Cole is said to have met the pretty redheads last Saturday night at the Jet Black Club in London, according to The Sun.

After inviting both twins to his house the following Tuesday night, Cole apparently decided to spent the night with Melissa, and is now said to be 'smitten' with the curvy model, after the pair spent the night together at the Surrey home Cole once shared with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl.

A source told the newspaper: 'The way Melissa was chosen was sick, but she says she had a really great time with Ashley.

'She's obviously starry-eyed now and is hoping a relationship develops.

'He's told her it's no problem for them to see each other again. Cheryl didn't come into it.'

Cole's night of passion with Melissa wasn't the only busy evening the sportsman had this week, as he also scored with one of Rihanna's backing singers after watching the star in action at London's O2 Arena on Thursday night.

The footballer chatted to the pretty blonde after catching sight of her at the VIP entrance to the venue, before asking her to accompany him home.

Claire Jeive, who attended the show with friends, told The Sun: 'We saw Ashley after the show and asked for an autograph. He seemed happy to do it but then this blonde caught his eye.

'He walked straight over to her. When he found out she was a dancer, he escorted her to his chauffeur-driven car and off they went.'

Arguably Cole's best performance this season. Saved us again with yet another goal-line clearance, made some vital last minute challenges & did well when going forward too.

Xavi? HA! Who's he?

Xavi looks like he appreciated that

Cole entered a masterclass against Barcelona, just as he had entered a superb display against Spurs a few days earlier. Despite the OTT criticisms he got on here a few months ago, he remains the finest full back in the business.

Cole's sheer brilliance shows he's more than just a love rat

If Ashley Cole did not exist, then the red-top tabloids would have invented him. He is a 31-year-old adolescent, a hero of the paparazzi, a 'serial lovecheat' who has cut a dazzling swath through some of the most distinguished lap dancers, topless models and reality television stars of his generation.

When disdainful civilians attempt to imagine the stereotypical Premier League footballer, then Cole is a prominent candidate.

His default expression is a petulant sneer, he holds match officials in arrogant contempt, and who was the prankster who shot and injured a work-placement student with a .22 air rifle at the Chelsea training ground? Need you ask?

Moreover, he will never truly live down the story he told six years ago in his 'autobiography' of how he almost crashed his car in affronted anger when Arsenal insulted him with a salary offer of £55,000 per week. Yet there is another side to our Ashley. As well as being a 'love rat', he is also a left-back and an extremely accomplished one.

There was a moment the other evening, during Chelsea's improbable Champions League first-leg victory over Barcelona, when he revealed his instinctive class.

Trapped on the touchline and surrounded by a posse of predators, he twitched a shoulder, fluttered a foot and flicked the ball into half a yard of space with the side of his heel before conjuring the pass. It was a manoeuvre stolen straight from the Catalan playbook. Indeed, of the entire Chelsea side, only Cole's talents truly equip him for a place in the Barcelona team.

But that flick merely hints at his contribution. He battled ceaselessly with the overlapping incursions of Dani Alves, winning his duels with the confidence of one who has consistently coped with the best the world game can offer.

And he denied Barcelona their critical away goal with a goalline clearance which demanded both athleticism and anticipation; the same qualities he had revealed in the last-16 away leg in Naples when another of his salvage operations proved the difference between mere defeat and certain elimination.

It may be that Cole's most impressive performance was delivered in the course of Chelsea's most abject display. On the third day of last month, on a chill afternoon at The Hawthorns, Chelsea surrendered to West Bromwich Albion.

It was a curious exhibition, vaguely shameful in its listless ineptitude. As the players slouched off, an old pro glared down from the Press box.

'That was disgraceful,' he said. 'They never tried an inch. They looked like they were trying to get the manager the sack.'

If that was the case, then they succeeded.

Andre Villas-Boas departed next day. But in the immediate aftermath of the feeble defeat, as the manager searched for words to capture the humiliation - 'very poor, in all senses of the word … not good enough … this is just too bad' - he made a point of exempting the man who fought to turn the tide, flatly refusing to allow his own standards to drop. 'The only player who performed up to any level was Ashley Cole,' he said.

It is on such desperate occasions that a player reveals his true worth and Cole came flying through his test. But perhaps we should not have been surprised.

After a dozen years in the Premier League, with three League titles, six FA Cup winners' medals and 93 England caps to his name, his excellence is beyond argument.

Along with Wayne Rooney, he is probably the only authentic worldclass talent that England possess.

Whoever takes the national job - and despite the erudite intervention of the Bolton chairman Phil Gartside, that race is not yet run - will see Cole as a central pillar of his plans, his Barcelona masterclass simply confirming his towering ability. None of which should suggest that he is preparing dramatic lifestyle changes.

The lap dancers, 'glamour' models and reality airheads should not abandon hope. The air stewardesses, Playboy playmates, blonde secretaries and fitness trainers should carry on checking their phone texts.

And certainly the paparazzi should continue to send wives to Armani and sons to Winchester, in the comfortable certainty that illicit snaps of the serial love cheat will settle the bills.

No matter. When Ashley Cole sets aside his amorous distractions and lays down his rifle, his talent tells a powerful tale.

And if Chelsea are to achieve a still more improbable result in the Nou Camp this week, then they will look to their eternal adolescent. For whatever his faults and foibles, the boy can play. Quite brilliantly.

I've said this so many times before and I'll say it again, Cole is one of the best fullbacks ever. Only few could match the level of his contribution both in offense and defence.

England & Chelsea's most consistent player in the last 4-5years. It was worth Mourinho & Chelsea getting in trouble over for tapping up, because everyone recognised his quality & potential. Could have a case for being one of our best purchases alongside Lampard, Ricky, Drogba & Cech.
