Will Ashley Cole Ever Get A Reprieve?

We all knew when Ashley Cole came to Chelsea he’d never win any awards for popularity. Not only was his transfer controversial but comments about his former club made sure the welcome mat would never be laid out there in a hurry and obviously the fact that he’s not exactly led a particularly ‘private’ private life has never helped his cause.

Still, as much as his off-field behaviour might raise a few eyebrows, that’s not what Chelsea signed him for so we can be grateful he manages to raise just as many eyebrows on the pitch. We already know he’s in some great form for Chelsea but he’s also one of the few who can transfer that form to his international play as well and Jamie Redknapp believes that should quieten his critics.

The Sky Sports pundit says “He (Ashley Cole) won’t win a popularity contest with David Beckham, but Ashley Cole might end up with more England caps than him. Last night (Tuesday) was No 86 and who is about to stop him from winning more than 115? He’s a buccaneering full back and a genuine world class player. He’s some footballer… wonder if there will come a time when supporters will look beyond his faults and lay off the boos?”

I wouldn’t hold my breath but at least we can be grateful he’s managing the notches on the field as well eh?
