Homophobic Ashley Cole Banknotes Can't Buy Win
Although attempts by officials to stop homophobic demonstrations against Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole at this weekend's match against Arsenal were reportedly stringent, quite a few fans were still able to get through security with their fake banknotes depicting Cole as the Queen — as evidenced by this photo.
The homophobic taunts weren't enough to facilitate a win for Arsenal, however. The club lead 1-0 for most of the game until Michael Essien scored the tie goal with six minutes left.

God, I almost threw up when I saw that picture. What a bunch of gross pigs. Especially that fatso with the big head in the middle. Ugh. Glad their fave team didn't win. Douche bags.

They only lead 1-0 after 78 minutes, not the whole game!!!!! Anyways, those fans are pretty sad, although I agree that Cole is a tosser for leaving the club like that and writing that BS his STUPID autobiography. WHY GOD, WHY??
Anyways, more Ronaldo posts please!!!! ; )

Pathetic violent UK soccer fans make me sick with their cruelty and sports IDOLATRY (you heard me right). These kinds of fatheads are the type to drive some(gay) people to suicide for their taunts/violence. Sickening. I wish I could wip'em good. All of 'em.

It's pillocks like these gits that embarrass the Gunners. I have been a life-long Arsenal fan, and never had a problem in my many visits at Highbury. I'm going to two Arsenal games over the holidays and I'll report back on whether I see more of this bollocks.

...I guess this is why athletes don't come out. It never ceases to amaze me how puerile grown adults can become at sporting events. I was just watching a youtube clip of little league parents beating on a ref in Texas. I mean, wtf?
