Cole: I still laugh at Arsenal
Arsenal fans will not be happy to hear what Ashley Cole thinks is so funny about the club's predicament under Arsene Wenger.

Ashley Cole has risked antagonising Arsenal fans by claiming it is amusing to watch their continued lack of success.

The former England full-back left the Gunners for Chelsea in 2006 in a deal that infuriated supporters of Arsene Wenger's side.

Cole won two Premier Leagues and three FA Cups before departing Arsenal and went on to win eight major trophies at Stamford Bridge, including the Champions League in 2012, while his former side have only one two FA Cups in that time.

The 36-year-old, now at LA Galaxy, admits his departure could have been handled better, but offered a candid view when asked if he found any humour in his old club's plight.

"I had a great time [at Arsenal], I missed the old players that were there but I moved on and won every trophy I could," Cole told ITV's Play to the Whistle. "I wouldn't look back and say I regretted it, no.

"If I'm honest, yes – I still think to this day, I laugh to myself.

"I had a lot of history there and I think the way I left was maybe a bit dodgy, but the lack of respect they showed me as well.

"Maybe I did things in the wrong way. But when I look back at it now I think there were a lot of parties I could blame.

"But it's gone now and it's 10 years down the line."
 
hmmmm

Lloris warns Tottenham: My future is tied to Pochettino
Hugo Lloris has suggested he would be keen to work with Mauricio Pochettino elsewhere if the manager ever opted to leave Tottenham.

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris says the future of Mauricio Pochettino will be a decisive factor on his own next move.

The Spurs captain hailed the quality of the club's manager and believes Pochettino is already the world's best.

Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with moves for both the Tottenham boss and Lloris, who is under contract at White Hart Lane for another five years.

And the 30-year-old revealed Pochettino's next step will have an impact on what he chooses to do in his own career, warning Spurs that things can change very quickly.

"My future is linked to Mauricio's, that is a certainty," Lloris, who is on international duty with France, told Le Figaro.

"He matters a lot to me and our relationship goes beyond football – it is a partnership.

"His presence and our relationship are the most important elements for me. One day he will be the best manager in the world and for me he is already.

"I feel very good here, but in football everything is fragile and things can change very quickly.

"I will not say I lack ambition. There are some things in life you cannot refuse, but that does not mean I am desperate.

"There are some teams that demand admiration, they are monsters for what they have done in their past and in 10 or 15 years they will still be winning things, although that is not the case for all of them.

"There are teams who keep making their interest known. These are giant clubs in terms of their history, their legends.

"Tottenham is not a club that always wins, but we are trying to create something. It is not easy to fight against European monsters, but it is a great source of motivation."

Lloris is nearing the end of his fifth season with Tottenham after signing from Lyon in 2012.

Of course one shouldnt be silly in trying to dispute facts, as they are undisputable. I dont think we are disputing facts here, imo, we are discussing the interpretation of those facts, and there are many variables involved.
