Ashley Cole to Retire from International Football

[Acker79]

Well, that's the rumours as world cup squad news starts to leak out ahead of tomorrow's official announcement.

Not been picked for the squad

 

[Driver8]

I think he has been retired!

Sad if true, should certainly go to this World Cup. Still a top performer despite being woefully underused by the Special One.

 

[Ernest]

Anyone who CHEATS on Cheryl is NOT all there

 

[Skaville]

A totally average squad with no place for a truly world class player. The guy is an arse but this is ridiculous.

can still do a job...

What a ****ing disrespectful prick!

You think the attention seeking prick could have waited for Hodgson to make the official squad announcement!

If ROy had announced Cole was not in the squad without telling him , he would have been crucified for it. He pre-warns him, and the gobby little shite spreads it before the squad is announced!! What a ****!

Urgh. The amount of brown nosers on Twitter is insane.

Apparently he has been stabbed in the back by his club and country...

I don't really "do " Twitter, is this the genuine Ashley Cole account do you think BoF ? If so, it's a little poor by him but hey, he has previous. He is still an International player but sometimes is a Conference standard publicist.

It was retweeted by Matt Law sports journalist for the Daily Telegraph, and has been verified (twitter has a verification system for celebrity accounts), so I'm confident it's genuine.

Not going to the world cup, I nearly swerved off the road when I heard that.

About the youngsters? I bet Fat Frank still makes the team though.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I get Roy's decision here. We are not going to win the World Cup, so much better to give Luke Shaw exposure to a big tournament. I don't blame Ashley for his comments on Twitter either. He's probably gutted and you do things you wouldn't normally do when you're not in the right frame of mind.

How do you retire from a job you don't have?

Jumped before being pushed

He was out best player at the last World Cup by a country mile.
