Ashely Cole

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

so why was nothing done?

My point is, and like various pundits have pointed out, tapping up happens all the time, just not in public.

like i said earlier, Martin Samuel put it correctly "why not pick up the phone like everyone else"

oh well

Does it?

How do we know considering there have been very few incidents where someone has been accused and even less clubs who have been susposed to do it.

As already said there are very few confirmed incidents of tapping up - Liverpool got caught for the Ziege one - the fine was tiny, but we had to pay an undisclosed, but probably several million pound sum to boro in compensation. Aston Villa got done for Beattie and Chelsea for Cole, are there any other cases when someone has actually be found guilty?

Hen. I focused my feelings on Ashley cole by rewriting Emimen's "Stan" into lyrics around the saga. I made it amusing though i'm not as funny as some people.
Made me feel better about it though.
Only did the first 3 verses becasue I don't particulary fancy doing anything from his point of view, the wanker.

CHORUS:
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see
at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture
on my wall
it reminds me that Clichy’s not so bad, he's not so bad

My tea's gone cold,I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see
at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture
on my wall
it reminds me that Clichy’s not so bad, he's not so bad


VERSE 1:

Dear Ashley Cole, I hear Chelski wrote you but of course you won’t be callin'
David Dein left his cell, his pager, and his home phone at the
bottom
he doubled the contract back in autumn
You must not have got 'em
It can’t be 5 grand problem, we’ll at least win the F.A cup or
somethin'

Sometimes hes scribble addresses too sloppy when he jot
'em
But anyways, sod it, what's been up man, how's your
girlfriend?
My girlfriend's a party animal too, I'm out to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm-a call her? I'm-a
name her Ashley.

I read about your playing great for England too, I'm sorry
I had to watch England get knocked out when Beckham missed a penality
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your
biggest fan.
I even saw the reserve games that you did and saw
that you were the man.

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures,
man.
I like the **** you did under Sven too, that **** was
fat.
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to
chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Dan

CHORUS

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see
at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture
on my wall
it reminds me that Clichy’s not so bad, he's not so bad




VERSE 2:

Dear Ash, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you
have the chance.
I ain't mad, I just think it's ****** up you don't
answer arsenal fans.
You didn't have to talk to mourniho in the hotel.
You didn't have to
but you could have signed an contract for Wenger.
He’s been like your father, man. Remember yours left the estate when you were 6 years old.
You kept him waiting for ink on that shiny contract
and ya just said no.
That's pretty ****** man, you're like his ******' idol
He made you the best left back in the world, he loves you more
than Campbell.

The club weren’t that mad, but Hill-Wood just don't like bein' lied to.
Remember back that if we doubled the contract
you
You stay forever. See Henry was just like you in a way.
Except he never left Arsenal over 5 grand neither.
He never would cheat on the Arsenal either.

I can’t relate to what you're sayin' in your interview.
So when I have a ****** day, I think about Henry and how he’s so “kwel”
Cause I don't really got **** else, so the DVD of his goals helps
when I'm depressed.
But I’m gonna laser off that tattoo with your name across my chest.

The French players just don’t know why you’re being so nasty.
But I hate reading how you ****** us. That pain is such a sudden rush
for me.
See, I used to think you were great, and I respected you
'cause of the way you play it.
Even Mourhino was jealous 'cause you were the best 24/7.
But he don't know you like Arsen know you, Cole, no one
does.
He don't know what it was like for Arsenal before we were on top.
You should have never met kenyon man. Arsenal will be the biggest club
you'll ever lose.
Sincerely yours, Cole. PS: I hope England drop you too.

CHORUS:

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all

at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture

VERSE 3
Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my arsenal fans"
This'll be the last cheer I ever give your ass.
You tapped up to Chelsea with not one word. We don't
deserve it?
I know you got Deins last 2 contract offers, I though 55 G for a defender would be perfect.

So this is my mp3 I'm sending you. I hope you
hear it.
I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway.
Hey Ash, "I drank a bottle of vodka, ya dare me to
drive?"
You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In
The Night"?
About that guy who could have saved that other guy
from drowning?
But didn't? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he
found him?
That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued Arsenal’s league challenge from drowning.
Now it's too late. I'm gonna shout for Clichy now, I'm
drowsy.

And all I wanted was for you not to take that Chelsea call.
I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the
wall.
I loved you Cole, we could have been together. Think
about it.
You ruined Arsenal’s season now, I hope you can't sleep and you
dream about betrayal.
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you
scream I betrayed Arsenal.
I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't
breathe without Arsenal.
See Ash, {screaming} shut up Cheryl, I'm trying to
talk
Hey Ash, that's your girlfriend screaming in the trunk.
But I didn't slip behind your back, I just tied her up, see
I ain't like you.
'Cause if she suffocates, she’ll feel like Arsenal fans, and then
she'll die too.
Well, gotta go, because unlike you I’m almost at the bridge now.
Oh ****, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this ****
out?


CHORUS:

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see
at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture
on my wall
it reminds me that Clichy’s not so bad, he's not so bad

The PL only take action if the "selling" club make a complaint. In many cases a club don't know that their player's been tapped up.

It's funny - most of the time I read Square football just out of curiosity, just to see what cock they're going to spout on a given situation, to see how much I disagree with it.
