Ashley leads England out tonight and becomes the 3rd Chelsea England captain serving in our present squad! Lamps, Terry and now Cole! Has this ever been equalled?
Good achievement and just reward for a long and distinguished career. Not Captain material in the real sense of the word, but a fitting honour for the occasion.
Have you seen how the rags are getting their knickers in a twist over this?!?! Purely because most of them are ****s and ash wont speak to them!! Any sane person can see it is right and proper to given the player the armband for a 1 off as a thank you for such great service to his country; especially given it is a meaningless friendly after all. Some papers are listing his misdemenours as reasons not to give him the armband (for 1 effing game!)...as if the last few captains have been perfect!! *cough* Rio, Terry, Gerrard etc
Ash gets far too much stick, the only people who have a right to dislike him are Arsenal fans. He's no saint but booing him every game was way OTT.
Yeah cos he cheated on his wife!! Boo Hoo! These red top reading tards!! Didnt Giggs sleep with his brothers wife or something? How come he aint booed every game?
And that he plays for Chelsea. Terry, Lamps and Cole have all been booed by England 'fans'. How many other players have suffered this?
all I'm saying is I can watch the matches but I ain't going to get any autographs and my dinner party of celebrities wouldn't include any football players.
