Ashley IMO was the man of the match against us in the champions league. The guy is very good defensively and in his days at Arsenal was pretty good going forward as well.

You mean the match in which we didn't utilise the wings, put 20 year old Cuenca on Ashley Cole and tried to go through the middle? The one where Cole was supported by 10 other defenders around his box?

The match in which our wingers couldn't do anything against him. Yup,that one and also at stamford bridge where Danny Alves couldn't do anything against him.

Ashley Cole has been awful for the last 2 years. Past it even.

I've only seen him play 3 good games in the last 2 years and they were 2 against Barcelona and the Final against Bayern Munich. Besides those he has been utter dog :shit: and clearly looking past it. So much so that he allows his frustration of being past it show by lashing out with dangerous dangerous tackles and generally being a douche.

He's no better than Alba defensively really, especially when you see Wayne Routledge of all people constantly tearing Ashley Cole a new rear end hole time and again for 90 mins.

Lol who the hell cares about a LB scoring a better goal than another? Maybe one day Alba will be worthy of cleaning Cole's shoes but until then we wait and see how his career pans out.

Alba just won the EC and played a major role in it too. Not so sure if he would swap places with Cole. ;)

I'm sure he wouldn't either. But then, Cole did win the Champions League last season after playing a major role, and you'd have to say that's of a higher standard.

Just like EPL is NBA of football and England are best in the world, eh?
I'd wager that EC is more prestigious then CL. For one, it's only played once in 4 years and players only have few shots at it (and then that's if their team qualifies).
Also, Chelsea rode their luck from almost every single match of KO stages while Spain outplayed practially everyone on their way and they are hailed best international team in the world. Wonder how many would say that Chelsea are best in Europe?
