Andy Cole was such a weird dude looking back. His reason for that beef is so petty.

After Chelsea won the Champions League he wrote a really shytty piece about Di Matteo which was so incredibly bitter. You'd think Di Matteo broke his leg or something.

Some of the quotes include:

I'll see Di Matteo this weekend as I'm playing in a veterans' tournament against him in Barbados. He'll receive congratulations for winning in Munich and he'll get lots of backslapping from players telling him that he deserves to get a long contract at Stamford Bridge.

With the greatest respect, I won't be one of them.


Di Matteo was a decent enough player, a neat and tidy midfielder in a class below the best of his generations, the Vieiras, Pet*ts, Keanes and even Dennis Wise. He fitted in with the others at Chelsea, a team full of what I called 'Tottenham players' – someone who is arrogant, flashy on the ball, makes passes to teammates five yards away and then runs to retrieve the ball. Someone who has a big name, but a soft underbelly which can be exploited when the going gets tough. Someone who wins next to nothing.

I played against him several times and he never made an impact on me like the best midfielders.


Chelsea must look at the bigger picture

It's so random that this has stuck with me all these years later since I read it :mjlol:

Man won the CL, a real fairytale story for a player at his old club and this is your take? Sad b*stard.

Andy(edit: sorry, Andrew) seems to move a bit different.:mjlol:
(ask Dwight Yorke and that woman they 2's up on:dame:)


Gotta feel bad for him though had loaaads of health problems with his kidneys in recent years.

Might have took him 5 chances to score every game, but if you gave him 5, he was a guarantee:banderas:
