Ashley!
Football chants are the metaphoric glue that bonds fans together in banter. For some
players these are songs praising their talent, for others, well, it's best not to go there.
Unfortunately there are some offensive corkers we had to leave out, but the ones we left in are
equally class.

Oh, looky! Aitor Ocio and his stellar abs (and bad denim) are featured in a new Glamour ES
interview. What do you need to know? Aitor is a self-confessed flirt. That's the basic gist. He
also talks about his ex, Lara Sanchez and their daughter. If you don't live near an
internationally-stocked newsagent, we suggest you book a flight abroad and pick up a copy.

- The Ronaldo family brought the LOLz all weekend long. While Ron and his piggy posed together,
Irina Shaykweight spent NYE in Vegas and CRJR was carted around by Aveiro family members who were
clad in denim eye-busters and brain bleeder white boots.
Last year, whilst watching Wayne Bridge experience the embarrassment of having the ins and outs
of his lovelife splashed across the UK's tabloid press, we offered prayers that one day he would
find happiness again. (It was the least we could do as we pored over the deets and exploited the
story for all it was worth.
Better late than never, eh?
The Sypnosis
"I'm a fan of Chelsea. Chelsea are the only team that can play.
Chelsea players have by far the most impressive reproductive organs. Stamford Bridge is my church.
The men who play there are my Gods.
Steven Pienaar liked the look of Stamford Bridge from Fulham Road. Once inside, the South
African was not so impressed. Between £40-50K per week, you say? I think I'll bugger on down to
the Lane.
Good riddance.
No mercenary
The Steven Pienaar mini-saga is finally over.
Arsene Wenger is a hugely intelligent man, of that there is no doubt. I do think that he has
noticed a flaw in his plans though. Foreign youngsters will always want to return to their homeland
at some point.
However, purchasing English talent, especially from smaller clubs could be even more successful
if the quality of the player matches that of a foreign born youngster.
Now before you read the rest of this post I would like you to turn your attention to my match
preview I wrote yesterday. Please read the whole post first, you can find it here. I said that
Chelsea needed to play well at a high tempo and needed the big players to step up and make an
impact. Chelsea did everything I asked of them and every single one of our front three got on the
score sheet.
I was reading this article in the Guardian about Jeffrey Bruma on his debut and the injury time
equaliser Villa scored and it got me thinking. The title of the article is "Bruma refuses to take
the blame for Chelsea's late collapse" and I have to admit I wondered straight away "Why would
he?".
As I have said in my match report after the game it was in fact Lampard's man and then Ashley Cole,
rather than react to the run, stood there with his arm up hoping for offside.
Liverpool caretaker manager is set to seal a move for Benfica left back Fabio Coentrao as his first
signing in January, according to reports.
The new Reds boss wants to bring in a replacement for Paul Konchesky, one of Roy Hodgson's
high-profile flops, to improve their defence.
Alongisde Damian Comolli, Dalglish has amended Liverpool's January transfer wishlist, which now
includes Ryan Shawcross and Ricky van Wolfswinkel at the top.
I have a pet hate when it comes to Harry Redknapp and that's his inability to keep his mouth
shut. However, I'm not stupid enough to assume everything he says are his own opinions, especially
when it comes to player signings. I may be completely wrong but judging by the odd comment here and
there about what he's allowed to say and what he's not I think it's safe to assume someone within
the club briefs him regularly.
Continuity usually stands for a steady, tried and trusted formula that works, something you wish
to continue, to grow and progress in the same vein. It breeds stability, unity and structure, all
important components to a foundation of any football club.
Unless you have millions upon millions to chuck into the market, you need a plan and solid
infrastructure.
On the up.
Player of the season, without question
There are still issues to be dealt with, but consecutive wins is very much a sign of
improvement. Many thanks to Branislav Ivanovic for driving the team on, not only with his superb
defensive play but also with his ability on set pieces.

Jonathan Liew of the Telegraph summed this one up before I even had a chance to revisit
the scene.
"Grinding out wins in adversity may be the hallmark of champions, but still, this was about
as unsatisfying a 2-0 victory as it is possible to imagine. For a team low on morale and down on
their luck, it is a start, but Ancelotti will be aware it is no more than that.

Men behaving badly: Should players' off-pitch behaviour affect fans' support? is a post from:
Just Football
Football fans and morals. A thorny bush, as we've discussed before on Just
Football. But should we as supporters be ready to withhold our support for players whose
behaviour doesn't quite match our own standards or moral codes?
People who follow football and the tabloids in this country are well aware of Ashley Cole.
Unfortunately it's the reports in the tabloids documenting what goes on outside football that
dominate headlines more often than not. Tonight there is not a single article featured on the
tabloid sites that I can find from our press confirming a positive for once that Ashley Cole has
been voted into the UEFA team of the year and is the only English player and Premier League
representative selected by the 400,000 voters.

Ashley Cole may not be the most beloved footballer in the English Premier League but he is
certainly one of the best. Well Nike has enlisted Cole to help out some of the youth in their
Nike Chance Trials. If you are a left back looking to improve your game you would be hard pressed
to find a better player than Cole to give you tips.
Maybe it was Ashley Cole's! Jermaine Pennant forgot that he had left a Porsche parked at a Spanish
railway station for five months, according to reports on Mirror Football. The Stoke City winger was
allegedly contacted by former club Real Zaragoza after city authorities called them about the car.

Meet your Uefa.com Team of the Year for 2010...
Did you spot the only man who plays in the Greatest League In The World? Yes, well played Ashley
Cole, not just the only Englishman in an XI dominated by Barcelona and Inter players, but also the
only Premier League representative.
UEFA.com have taken the time and good grace to bestow upon us their Team of the Year
2010, and it should come as scant surprise that both Barcelona and Inter Milan dominate
proceedings with 8 of the final 11 slots being occupied by their employees, along with a further 7
of the 44 'unsuccessful' nominees.
Ashley Cole, the man everyone loves to hate. The boo boy of Arsenal fans and England fans in
general. The best left back in Europe, as any Chelsea fan will tell you.
Delivering a kick up the arse...
A few days ago, UEFA released their 2010 Team of the Year.

Sometimes I wonder if there's a forcefield that surrounds the Fantasy Premier League and I Know
The Score games available on the Premier League website. Why is it, for example, seemingly
impossible to have a good week in both games?
With me, it's exceedingly rare when I do well in both games.
With the imminent signing of David Luiz in the coming days and the fact that he will be able to
play anywhere across the back four, it's seems that Sven Goran Eriksson will look to capitalise by
trying to sign Patrick Van Aanholt on loan until the end of the season.
I have had my say on here before.
Photo by Ian Walton/Getty Images EuropeChelsea have allowed Gael Kakuta and Patrick van Aanholt to
leave Stamford Bridge, albeit on a loan deal. Kakuta will be joining Fulham till the end of the
season, while Patrick van Aanholt will be joining Sven Goran Eriksson and Leicester City also till
the end of the season.
Paul Konchesky is in talks with Fulham about rejoining the club and ending his miserable five-month
spell at Liverpool as the signing who came to represent Roy Hodgson's brief and unsuccessful time
at Anfield.
Konchesky left Craven Cottage in late August to become Liverpool's new left-back but his
performances under Hodgson, previously his manager at Fulham, led to him being heavily criticized
by the club's supporters and demoted from the team.
Forget the Torres brouhaha for 90 minutes. We have another FA Cup to win after all.
