Why do people hate Ashley Cole?

I’M ALMOST loath to say anything as it may break the spell, but everything seems to be remarkably good in Chelsea world.

The press is full of lurid tales of infidelity yet they don’t involve one of ours; there are clubs on the precipice of financial ruin – and we aren’t one of them; there are managerial issues at a number of Premier League teams. We are more than happy with Ancelotti.

Add to that our great start to the season, a decent Champions League draw along with a settled squad. And you have in Chelsea a picture of content which must be enviable to some.
