Ashley close to grief again

No one likes to see anyone get injured, especially if they play for your national side so here's hoping Ashley Cole recovers from what looks like a pretty serious injury, sustained in last night's 3-0 win over Blackburn at Stamford Bridge. Even Mourinho admitted: “It looks bad, Ashley couldn’t walk. It could be a ligament, cross ligament, internal ligament or patella — at the moment we are not sure.”

Cole jarred his left knee after catching his studs in the turf. Scans today will reveal the full extent of the problem but Mourinho is bracing himself for the worst - Cole being on the sidelines long enough for him to 'write' another book in which he can declare to the world that he felt an emotion "close to grief" when he realised he wouldn't be getting any more win bonuses this season. We wish him a speedy recovery.
