Ashley Cole

[Ollie 4,400]

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.

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

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.

Nah, he's always been fine and out of the spotlight off the field. I've still not come to terms with all this yet, Ash was playing well in the first 5 games of the season, looked quick and fit and now he can't get a game and when he does, he hasn't quite been the same. Is it possible for a player who's always been a machine fitness wise to just lose it within weeks? Very strange.

However one looks at it, he should be able to attend Arsenal party, whether jose likes it or not. There is no reason to reprimand him for it. Play him, after all, there is no better than him at LB. These idiotic quarrels create a bad atmosphere at the club, only.

When he could have gone out drinking with Rooney. It could have stirred up dust in the Rooney thread, atleast.
