Is that:

 

1.The same Ashley Cole that tried to pull off a sneaky illegal move the year before.

 

2. The same Asley Cole that was picking up 50k per game while injured for most of last season after trying to pull off a sneaky move the year before.

 

 

3. The same Ashley Cole that got to start in the European Cup Final despite doing Feck All to get them there and after picking up 50k per game while injured for most of last season after trying to pull off a sneaky move the year before.

He's such a loathsome little b*stard. All of his complaints are ridicilous. Why wasn't he treated the same as Henry? Maybe because you're not as good or as important a player, Ashley. :rolleyes:

He's got his move that he wanted so badly. Why doesn't he shut the hell up?

If Arsenal were Cvnts for haggling over a paltry 5k a week what does that make Ashley?

 

This bit made me laugh the most:

 

"The club made Thierry feel wanted and special, wooing him, wining and dining him, speaking in public about how much they wanted him to stay, going on a deliberate charm offensive," stated Cole.

 

But me? I didn't have one dinner, one meeting or one phone call from anyone. "

he's a nob end that one. Is it also not possible that Henry could have done that contract buyout thing and gone to Barca on the cheap?

Who other than a loathsome little tosser would read it?

exactly. He wanted 3m per year, Arsenal would only pay him 2.75m. FFS. Only RP on this forum makes 5kpw

the funny thing is that he has brought this book out to defend himself and make him look like the innocent party and Arsenal as the d*cks but the opposite has happened

The gooner I know claims that the baord were ready and willing to pay him the £60k until his agent demanded his slice and Arsenal then knocked it off.

 

Either way he has conveniently forgotten that it was his own actions that caused the problem in the first place.

Hardly appropriate in high level negotiations.

How to make a good impression with your new employers. By Ashley Cole. :)

 

 

 

Cole slams Blues over hearing

 

 

Ashley Cole has branded as 'rubbish' accounts given by Chelsea in the player's recent 'tapping-up' inquiry.

 

Cole has been at the centre of controversy ever since a notorious meeting with agents Jonathan Barnett and Pini Zahavi at a London hotel last January.

 

Then of Arsenal, the meeting led to accusations of 'tapping-up' on the part of Chelsea and a subsequent Premier League inquiry.

 

After a steadily deteriorating relationship with Arsenal, the England left back finally completed a switch to Stamford Bridge at the end of last month, but the recriminations refuse to go away.

 

Remarking in the Times' second extract of his autobiography, Cole questions much of the evidence given to the hearing by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and chief executive Peter Kenyon.

 

"I told the inquiry that everything that had been said about the hotel meeting was rubbish," Cole recalls.

 

"Jose Mourinho talked about me and Jonathan both being unhappy," he said of his new manager's remarks to the inquiry 16 months ago.

 

"I grew more and more agitated as he continued by saying that I also wasn't happy with the relationship [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger had with some of the French players and that they were in control of the dressing-room.

 

"The rest of his evidence wasn't good for me. Nor was the evidence of Peter Kenyon, who was next up. He said Pini Zahavi made the approach on our behalf."

 

Player and club were found guilty of contacting one another illegally, yet Cole remains most suspicious of Arsenal.

 

"All I could think was that Arsenal had been hell-bent on revenge against Chelsea and hadn't given a toss about my welfare," he said.

 

And Cole hinted the possible sanction of docking points from The Blues might have been behind his old club's actions.

 

"Perhaps they thought here was a way of possibly reining back the runaway leaders."

His behaviour has really astounded me over this whole affair.

 

His the epitome of the mollycoddled footballer.

 

The fact he can make these statments when he knows every other football fan knows he and Chelsea were in the wrong shows how arrogant/deluded/thick he truly is.

The England defender wanted £60,000 a week but says the Gunners board were only prepared to offer him £55,000.

 

"I don't believe the board gave a damn about keeping me, it preferred to haggle over a difference of £5,000," said Cole in his new book, My Defence.

Sounds like constructive dismissal to me.

You couldn't actually make this stuff up. In today's extract in the Time's he accuses Arsenal youngsters of having "big heads on young soldiers"

 

Cole hits out at 'selfish, lazy' Arsenal youngsters

By Matt Hughes

ASHLEY COLE provides a damning indictment of Arsenal?s problems today as his old club prepare for another difficult test against SV Hamburg in the Champions League without the injured Thierry Henry.

 

In the final extract from his new book, the Chelsea defender, who made his first start for his new club in their 2-0 Champions League victory over Werder Bremen at Stamford Bridge last night, launches a scathing attack on his former team-mates, particularly the younger players, accusing them of being lazy, selfish and arrogant before dismissing them as having ?big heads on young shoulders?.

 

*

After losing 11 Barclays Premiership matches last season, Arsène Wenger?s team have yet to win in the league this time around and Cole, who spent much of the 2005-06 campaign injured, thinks that he knows why. ?The brutal truth is that too many people played for themselves,? he says. ?I saw too much rubbish, lazy players who didn?t pull their weight and schoolboy errors.

 

?Some players were letting us get kicked and allowing team-mates to get bullied. Too many people took constructive criticism too personally and wouldn?t talk to you for a week. So I learnt to say nothing.?

 

Cole is particularly critical of Philippe Senderos and reveals tension between Robin van Persie and Fredrik Ljungberg. ?I was stunned when I saw Martin Keown, an Arsenal legend, speaking to Philippe Senderos, advising him to get tough, do this and that,? Cole says. ?Senderos just looked at him, blew his cheeks out and walked off.

 

?I remember feeling how fragmented we?d all become when Robin van Persie spoke up at training about Freddie Ljungberg, saying: ?Why doesn?t he talk to me?? Social occasions used to be a big thing, but I couldn?t tell you a thing about Kolo [Touré], [Emmanuel] Eboué, José Antonio Reyes, Cesc [Fàbregas] or Senderos.?

 

Cole also condemns Francesc Fàbregas as an ?unproven featherweight? compared with the ?heavyweight champion? that is Patrick Vieira, criticism unfortunately timed given that Fàbregas is on the brink of signing a new eight-year contract.

 

In the most detailed account of the infamous Battle of the Buffet at Old Trafford two years ago, Cole hints that it was the Spanish midfield player who threw the pizza at Sir Alex Ferguson. Cole confirms that the culprit was not English or French and is believed to be referring to Fàbregas.

 

?This slice of pizza came flying over my head and hit Fergie straight in the mush,? Cole says. ?All I?ll say is that the culprit wasn?t English or French, so that should narrow it down.?

 

In a renewed attack on the Arsenal board, Cole says: ?I can?t remember a time when they have counted the pennies so carefully. It?s got to the point where the finance men want to know who ate what, who ordered this, who ordered that after the team?s visits to hotels. We had to start writing down our orders like children on a school trip.?

 

Despite Chelsea?s victory last night, José Mourinho could not resist another dig at officialdom after bookings for John Terry, Didier Drogba, Lampard and Joe Cole. ??I shouldn?t say anything,? he said, before listing all the other clubs in the Champions League who had picked up one or no cautions.
