Your talking about Ashley Cole not some random left back ffs. Are you sure your not related to Woy ? Luke Shaw is not ready for a WC either....yet.!!! I am not happy either with Leighton Baines especially when IF it comes to any one off games.
Before the public knew but Ashley knew prior, hence why he retired. The fact this is even being talked about simply beggars belief and hurts England.
He retired before the squad was announced, big fat Tickler FACT. That's the point of taking him, to prepare him for the future. If selected Cole would have been second choice, this would have achieved nothing. Look to the future. prepare for the future.
If Woy had taken Ashley Cole he would not have retired just yet. FACT. You really are stupid. FACT. The whole point is lost on a dummy like you. FACT. Have a nice day.
Tim Sherwood is favourite for the West Brom job. Also... Tickles, Shaw was rightly chosen over Cole. You need to give the players the experience of major tournaments. Cole would not have played over Baines, therefore taking him would've been pointless when Shaw can be taken to give him experience for when he will be our main left back, which, considering Baines' age, won't be too far away, probably the next World Cup.
As much as it pains me to recognise that Tickles is factually right for once, Cole only retired from international duty after Woy called him to explain why he was leaving him out. He was available for selection for the squad.
Which was before the squad was announced. Cole announces retirement. 11th May http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27368711 Squad announced 12th May http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27362447 Cole retired before the squad was announced. He may of retired because of his exclusion from the squad, but he definatly retired before the squad was announced.
You lot do know that a lot of the players find out before the squad was officially announced? This isn't Football Manager. They don't find out whether they've made the cut at the same time as us. If Ashley Cole was going to get the opportunity in this World Cup he'd be there. It'd have been a bit harsh on Woy if he'd have announced he retire from the team the day before he had to announce his squad if he had him penciled in, no?
Jesus. I thought man utd was little more than a money making machine used to fund the glazers ****ty basketball team or whatever gay American 'sport' they're interested in. Where the ****ing hell is all this money coming from?
Kin ell Man U. Also, Mame Biram Diouf has joined Stoke. He was good in the Bundesliga for Hannover, 25 goals in 57 games. Might be decent signing for them.
