Cole: I'm Here For Life

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

Joe Cole wants to play out his career at Chelsea.

The 26-year-old will make his 200th appearance for the Blues if selected against Wigan in the FA Cup on Saturday.

And Cole, who has earned 47 England caps, has admitted the honour he feels in playing for Chelsea.

Cole has won two Premier League titles with the Blues since moving to Stamford Bridge from West Ham in 2003 and he is keen to repeat that success.

"It's a great honour, and if I could pause time and just play, I'd play for Chelsea forever," Cole told Chelsea's official website. "It goes too quickly. I just want to keep playing, keep winning things and enjoy it as much as I can. "There are so many happy times and hopefully I get a few more appearances under my belt too."

I'm impressed with the change in him since JT and Lamps have been out of the side. In terms of presence and setting an example to the rest of the team, he seems to have grown overnight. Is it me or has he not been throwing himself on the floor so much either?

You're right. He still has the occassional tumble but he has that extra drive to keep going even when his bootlaces are undone.
