Talk:Ashley Cole

message: How about a section on his autobiography and his heartbreaking tale of how Arsenal wouldn't stump up the extra £5,000 to keep him at the club? --81.129.79.35 21:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think it deals too much with the transfer, but rather too little with his seven years at the club. All his triumphs with the club are essentially boiled down to two sentences! Of course it could use some tidying up, but even more so, a substantial write-up of his time at Arsenal. Poulsen 13:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

message: the stats table is not only not updated but reflects some inaccurate calculations: if he played 156 times for arsenal, then the total games in his career cannot be 156! well he's no longer in arsenal - whom im much more partial towards - so i guess its much to the chelsea fans to update his stuff.

thread_title: Stats

message: I got my original 150,000 figure wrong. The calculation of 75,000 books to break even was based on it requiring 300,000 to break even on a £1m advance, and Cole took £250,000. See citation from the Independent. If this too presumptious, please accept my apologies and feel free to delete. Hammer15 23:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There is no need to mention this at all. As the article says nothing about his parents (Were they Barbadian?) No citation also. Conclusion: There is no need to Mention this as it adds nothing to the article. Removing it. Celtic Muffin&Co. (talk) 20:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  “Barbadian” 

message: Before this turns into a proper edit war, let's discuss what content in the section on The Sun's allegations on Ashley Cole's affair is pertinent and what is not.
It's quite alright to discuss publicized scandals of a couple with such a high profile in the tabloids. Whether we do need to go into all the sordid details such as vomiting and penis length is quite another question. My suggestion is to delete the edit by user 82.20.34.126, albeit dutifully sourced.

thread_title:  Allegations 

message: The article's semi protected so I can't make this change:
International career
Cole has played for England at youth and senior levels. He was capped for the England U-20 team at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship alongside Stuart Taylor, Peter Crouch, Andrew Johnson and Matthew Etherington. However, the team finished bottom of their group, suffering three defeats without scoring any goals. He also made four appearances for England under-21s, scoring once.
Cole made his senior England début against Albania, on 28 March 2001. He played for England at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2004, and was named as one of four England players in the all-star squad for the latter tournament. Cole was also an ever-present for England in the 2006 FIFA World Cup; in their second round match against Ecuador he made a crucial block, deflecting Carlos Tenorio's shot onto the crossbar. The match ended with England winning 1–0, but England were knocked out on penalties by Portugal in the quarter-finals. As of the end of 2008, he has 68 caps for England, all of which were starting appearances. However, he has never scored an international goal.

message: One of the external links goes to this site which appears to have been written in a strange mix of English and gibberish, with outlandish claims that Cole scored 156 goals for Arsenal. It's also the venue for memorabilia sales and adverts, etc. That is to say, it's linkspam and should be removed I think. --80.192.21.253 (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: More allegations

message: In the intro it says he's been called one of the best left-backs in the world. He has, but without a better reference than his own manager saying it we'd be better leaving it out, since managers talk up their own players all the time. I don't have a better reference but there should be one out there. Mbc3001 (talk) 16:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a long time back when I wrote what I did above. Cole is certainly not the best in the world right now, sitting behind Azpilicueta. Being 33 years old I don't think he'll be getting any better, and is well past his peak. He was the best left back of his time there is little argument against it. So I am mentioning this in the initial lines of his article. Jatinbhatt blap (talk) 04:52, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Although the source for Ashley Cole's height would seem legitimate 5'9.5" the England player site lists him at 5'8"

message: Cole is known on the football pitch for much more than the colour of his skin, it's somewhat like splitting hairs to make Billy Wright the most capped player from the West Midlands.
