Ashley Cole Parties With Arsenal Squad At Gunners Xmas Bash

Ashley Cole has risked the wrath of boss Jose Mourinho after joining rival team-mates from Arsenal at the Gunners Christmas party in London on Wednesday night, according to the Daily Mail.

The newspaper claims that Mourinho cancelled the Chelsea squad’s planned festive bash after the club crashed out of the Capital One Cup to Sunderland – who are bottom of the Premier League – on Tuesday night.

However, Cole, who controversially left Arsenal to join Chelsea in 2006 following a bitter contract row, decided to hit the town anyway along with Andre Schurrle and Ryan Bertrand.

The Mail state that the trio attended trendy London club ‘Libertine’ along with the Gunners squad were out celebrating their Xmas bash and were dressed in fancy dress.

It remains to be seen how Mourinho will react to the news that Cole, Schurrle and Bertrand went out despite the fact he cancelled the players official party, but Cole is already on the periphery of Mourinho’s first team plans having lost his place to Cesar Azpilicueta, so the worst that could happen is he’s hit with a fine.

It’s an interesting side-plot considering Arsenal meet Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night in what’s sure to be a crucial game in this seasons title race.
