Francesc Fabregas has lifted the lid on his spat with former Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole, saying that the player is now forgotten and that Cole didn't show any respect to his former team mates.

Fabregas refused to shake Cole's hand after Arsenal's draw with Chelsea and there were reports for a tunnel bust-up between the two players.

The Spanish midfielder said: "For me, Ashley Cole is a closed subject. He is not a friend because after leaving Arsenal he said many unjust things about us.

"In the world of football, respect between companions is the key - and he broke this rule.

"This player is forgotten - and also the person. I do not want to speak to him again.

"I believe that Cole was very well treated by Arsenal and that his response was not correct.

"I still don't think I am a star, but a player who desires to progress each day.

"On the pitch I appear to be fragile but week by week I am ripening and will never be intimidated by anyone. Never."

I love this boy! Ever since I watched him in the under 17s (he was 15) n was voted player of the tournament.

Then the Shield match against ManUre. He got into a tackle with Roy Keane. Roy Keane came to yell at him n the boy stood his ground!

When his agent was busy yappin abt Real Madrid, he INSTRUCTED him to state that he was a GUNNER!

Now he tells the Cashley Cole what he deserves, to his face! I love that.

Is there any wonder he got an 8 yr contract extension?

well said cesc. You can't criticise your team mate for being young. I would have punched him instead, i don't believe in violence but in cashley's case I'll make an exception
