Ashley Cole

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Thought he was poor yestarday.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Who you calling done?

[The_Flash 1,144]

Bit disappointed he wasn't playing today

[Styles 9,790]

Hopefully his last year and he can leave with his head held high. It's sad watching him now.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He's our only available LB to play vs Arsenal....

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Apparently he joined the Arsenal Xmas party after Jose cancelled our one. Seriously?

[Mouri_Matic 560]

If this is true he is fucked. Really in trouble.

Maybe he had played his last game for Chelsea?

Maybe war will soon go on, Ashley Cole will win again like he did with AVB or Jose will get rid of him completely this time seeing this is the last year of his contract. Which side are you on?

I also read about Ashley not very happy being replaced by Jose in recent games. I do not know, what´s cooking here, but AC is the LB & not Azpi. This to me is something I always said about Jose. My way or the high way, attitude.

Bit of a non story really. Believe it or not footballers go clubbing every once in a while...

Clubbing is fine, but to Arsenal´s party ahead of Monday ?

To be fair that been clear since he dropped Casillas and made Materazzi look like a sane person. Also dropping the club's best player for the last 2 seasons, he is the only manager in football atm that have the balls to do that. That is not really a bad thing, it shows he got character, but sometime it can indeed get too far like eventually the whole Madrid squad fall out with him, even Pepe. Yesterday there are rumors that he is having problem with Hazard's attitude too. Now if Jose vs Hazard is real then we as a club is fucked.

But anyone else though like Terry, Cole they can always go on the high way seeing they are not the best in their positions in the world anymore.

Well, let me post my words of wisdom on it. To say he has got character, just does not sit well with me, sorry. I look at it as a man on his power trip. Wasn´t AVB the same ? Look where it got him, lately. Jose alienated the whole Real team against himself, by exactly the same arrogant behavior.

Yes, I have read about Hazard. The kid cannot wait to get away from the training sessions, lunches, he is the first to leave...etc.

As you posted, this is the last thing this club needs. Mark my words, I see Jose as the one who could start the fire, easily.

The thing is though managers should always have the authority over the players, the moment the exact opposite happens mean it is the end for the manager. But I agree, if you go too far you could become a dictator and of course we all know it never end well for them. In fact, in his 1st interview back, he said something along the lines of ''If the board go with the manager, the couple of little guys could be gone easily, but if they doesn't, then we are in for trouble''. Maybe he saw this coming eventually and that was a warning message on what will happen. But if it is true about Hazard then I have to side with Jose here, you don't become the best winger in the world(which is who he could be based on potential) by going home early to watch Naruto(I notice he likes this a lot and even shown a picture of him watching it before) instead of staying to go to the gym.

But ultimately though, it is his choice, Jose can give him advices, that is what he is here for, but not FORCE HIM TO DO IT. He is still our top scorer this season for now which mean he is doing his job alright, not as good as it could be but alright nevertheless. I just hope Jose handle this situation a bit better than Madrid, when you have Hazard, Mata, Cole turning on him, then I really see it as the end for him or them here.

Remember, great players don't become great by being forced, they become great because they have the desire, the commitment to do it. If Hazard thinks he had achieved his dream job and dream life then fine, we must accept that. He is free to choose who he wants to be, not who we want him to be.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

I think this story for Hazard is totally BS.imo

I hope so man, he is like the only player atm at Chelsea which I don't think we can sell at any price(well maybe not the only but top 2 at least)

Partially, I do agree here. However, any good manager must be much more than a football tactician, I feel. To deal with a kid who makes 120 thou a week, might not be an easy matter. I believe, Hazard does his training, but just leaves right after & I read he is not willing to put in an extra, that´s all. That´s something Jose cannot force on him. Either he has it in him or he takes it lightly.

Whatever happens, both of us do not know. It just does not look too good to read about it. Any turmoil on the team will be reflected on the pitch. As I already said about my feelings on Jose, I do not like what I see on the pitch, what I read, at all.

Mata, Lukaku, Cole, KDB..who is fucking next ?

Roman after fighting all the mini boss it is the boss. And fighting Roman in Chelsea is like fighting Aquaman under water, you just won't win. But in all seriousness I hope it doesn't come to that, the perfect solution would be a couple of players being sold and a few top players being brought in to replace them, the team starts to play good football(doesn't have to be groundbreaking pressing, just good ACCURATE attacking football) and a new striker would hopefully start to bang them in. Everyone get on well again, but then again nothing in life is that simple straight forward, there is just bound to be twist and turn, I hope eventually it will be for the good.

Direct quotes -
The Chelsea players took the decision to postpone their own Christmas party, which was also due to take place on Wednesday night.

The trio are unlikely to face any club sanctions given they are permitted to be out three nights before a fixture.

The players hope to organise a festive party early next year.

Only Ashley was pictured and he isn't even in a fancy dress, as the Arsenal party was themed. Y'all need a pair of reading glasses after being the victims of classic English journalism.
