Ashley Cole Hates England. And All Its People.

June 30th, 2010 | by: Daryl |

ashley-cole One of the few – very few – bright spots of England’s miserable World Cup campaign was the form of Ashley Cole. The England left back had a decent World Cup 2010, and has avoided most of the criticism directed at the team by, well, everyone who saw the team play in South Africa. But a story in The Sun yesterday has ruined all that.

Apparently, before the World Cup, Cole updated his status on his Blackberry (supposed to be visible to only a closed network of people) to read: “I hate England and the f***ing people!” Nice one Ashley Cole. Because now they probably feel the same way.

The Sun did allow Cole to comment on his status update, explaining that “I always try my hardest for England and Chelsea but the intrusion and pressure I feel is making my life hell.” Which would be a good excuse if Cole didn’t attract said attention by doing things like cheating on his super-hot ex-wife and sending out status updates about how he hates England all its people.

I’m still not sure how The Sun got hold of Cole’s private status update, or what sort ethical boundaries they trampled to do so. But I know the basic equation here is that if Cole had not been dumb enough to insult an entire nation, then he wouldn’t now have that same nation about to hate him back tenfold. Am I overreacting, or is this the sort of scandal that ends in international retirement?

Well, if England did even a decent job of nurturing young talent like the Germans do, it wouldn't matter if Cole was retired by Capello. There would be a few young bucks ready to take his place. Stephen Warnock and Leighton Baines are next on the list, and they are pretty good I suppose, but they've only been capped 1 and 2 times respectively.

In all fairness, most of the nation hates Ashley Cole already, so this isn't going to change much.

Ashley Cole COME TO THE MLS! We'll pay you Beckham money & you won't have nearly the same pressure as you do in England. The players you tried to win the CL with at Chelsea area all moving on, and new players are pushing through.

I saw the title of the post on Twitter and I KNEW a photo of that white suit would be involved somewhere. Thanks for not letting me down.

If you had read the half page article you would know how The Sun got the info

“Cole, dumped by ex-wife Cheryl after repeatedly cheating on her and sex-texting women – posted his BlackBerry rant shortly after he started seeing ex-lapdancer Sarah Purnell.”

The old woman scorned deal.

Well, does anyone really “like” the English? I mean we appreciate the language and all, don't get us wrong. And music, can't forget the great music the English make, oh and some pretty nice poetry and fiction I suppose. And yeah, that whole “football” thing is pretty awesome.

But otherwise? Not so much, ya know?

Dear Ashley, who doesn't? No, seriousely. I think he found rather inapropriate words for expressing his dismay.
