Dear Mr. A. Cole,
How you doing mate? All good with Cheryl I hope…Just thought I should send you a letter as an Arsenal fan as a “letter of farewell” as you seem to be going to our old chums down the road at Chelsea shortly…Just wondering…
Seen the world of Chelsea recently…The William Gallas saga? Still think Arsenal treats players so bad? Yes our club wont pay you stupid amounts of money “earned” from notoriously cynical business deals in the world oil trade (Mr. Abramovich…yes im taking to you)….BUT we treat players with the respect they deserve when they do deserve it, not when you go behind their back and commit adultery with Chelsea Football Club…our club has history and honour…not a couple years of success from buying the most expensive players in the world. If Arsenal treated players so badly then great legends of the game from foreign lands wouldn’t have stayed here for so long…Like Dennis Bergkamp…Thierry Henry…but then again those players aren’t after huge sums of money just to feed their popstar wife.
In contrast to what Chelsea have done or are saying they will do to Gallas for his minute crime in contrast to your deception attempt…we have been pretty graceful and generous to forgive you for what you did in the first place…you got a nice new contract and that’s that…BUT NO….get it over and done with and leave for your own security…not physical so much (even though that is debatable) but more your mental security…if you stayed now you would STILL be hated by all of the Arsenal fans and would never be the same player again.
Thank you for what you have done in the past, you truly are a great player…but a stupid one who will look back and read M. B. Zaidi’s famous words on ArsenalReview.com in five years time and realise what a stupid mistake you made.
I once met you…down at the Chigwell parade of shops…I had a picture taken with you and you seemed like a nice guy…I had a laugh and a joke with you and then you drove away…the first time I had met a footballer face to face…you were one of my favourite Arsenal players on the pitch and when you played for England you were the first one I looked for on the sheet…I truly DON’T THINK YOU ARE A BAD GUY or anything of that sort, just one that made a mistake and now after partially redeeming yourself…have jumped back into the cockpit of hell where your potential “Arsenal Legend” title has disintegrated and is tainted with the memory of this betrayal.
I will tell you why I am speaking harsh words because you are one of our own and have grown up as an Arsenal boy…your football is truly as fluid and brilliant as our team plays and that is why you fit into OUR TEAM…a team that plays attacking football with verve and incisive passes…you are a limited supply of “one of our own” players…and that is why it feels so terrible that you are doing these stupid things a second time round. That is why you are now going to be hated by Arsenal fans when you could have easily been the next captain and a true Arsenal legend…it’s a terrible shame and a pity because the time I met you I really felt glad that you were one of “our own”…It feels like my child has run away from home and gone to live with my worst enemy…for a bribe…a cheap bribe of simple cash…not being part of a great club playing in the best stadium in the UK for the fans that have supported you for so long….
Ashley…good luck for the future and beyond…thanks for the memories of the “un-beatables” season and everything else, that goal you scored in the champions league…BUT there are some actions that carry consequences…and this time the consequences are not so pretty…Have a nice life…
Yours Sincerely
Mohammed Bilal Zaidi
