To think a premiership footballer having a 'pay as you go' phone is laughable.

What a sorry excuse.

I feel sorry for Cheryl Cole. I bet she believes him.

i think its a privacy thing.thats why drug dealers use them then chuck them.

SixtyFootDoll · 12/02/2010 14:00

Theres only one reason why he had a pay as you go.....
Its his shagging phone, that he keeps away from the wife.
Know lots of people who do the same, never trust someone hwho has 2 mobiles!

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 12/02/2010 14:00

He earns £78'000 a week!

SixtyFootDoll · 12/02/2010 14:01

He's a knob.
The sooner Cheryl gets rid of him the better.

pagwatch · 12/02/2010 14:02

errr. I am not short of a few quid and i have a pay as you go.

I Am Not Shagging Around

pagwatch · 12/02/2010 14:04

...and probably should add Not Drug Dealer either

foxinsocks · 12/02/2010 14:04

slebs often have them for privacy reasons too

their contract numbers become too well known and papers like the mail and screws hire unscrupulous detectives trace calls etc.

muggglewump · 12/02/2010 14:06

Oh but they have to split up soon don't they, because it was never a real marriage in the first place and him cheating is the best reason as it means he can't possibly be gay.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 12/02/2010 14:07

Ah okay fair enough reasons to have one.

But would you buy that excuse if it was your husband?

Why would he have taken naked pics of himself anyway?

pagwatch · 12/02/2010 14:07

I Am Not A Celebrity Either...

( pag is denying so many things she could be a celeb. Perhaps having a pay as you go is the province of people who like to deny stuff...)

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 12/02/2010 14:08

Pag.

Your house is a celeb on mumsnet at least...haha

upahill · 12/02/2010 14:09

Err I've got two mobiles sixtyfootdoll!!

juneybean · 12/02/2010 14:11

I hope they split up, Cheryl can do so much better!

SixtyFootDoll · 12/02/2010 14:12

I actually have 2 mobiles too, but one of mine is for my mini rugby team that I run!
Obv I am morally superior!
Was a flippant remark but you get my drift!

pagwatch · 12/02/2010 14:14

yes . I am that woman with the house.

I have a pay as you go because I actually use my phone so little and I can go weeks without topping up. I expect I will get a contract when it dies.

I would be about DH having a spare phone that he would give to someone else and the naked women thing would need a great deal of explaining.

upahill · 12/02/2010 14:14

Of course I do sixtyfoot My other one is a work issue one which flippin haunts me at times!!!

foxinsocks · 12/02/2010 14:16

I used to have 2 too lol (1 payg and 1 contract) as I had one for work and one for home (can't think why but I did!)

I dunno. I don't take nekked pictures of myself (god knows who'd want to see them!) but there was a thread on here the other day about a mumsnetter leaving a film of her giving her bloke head so I'm guessing, taking err private films/photos is more common than we realise!

I have seen a fair few men browsing pics of naked women on their phones on trains etc.

tallulahbelly · 12/02/2010 14:16

I'd be very disturbed if a naked photo of Ashley Cole popped up in my inbox.

Couldn't he just woo her with a nice Prada bag? I'm sure she'd appreciate it more.

canella · 12/02/2010 14:19

this story is like those Little Britain sketches where the MP makes a public apology for being caught having gay sex by saying he fell on to the other man and his clothes somehow fell off at the same time!

the excuse that ashley cole just happened to have taken naked photos on a pay as you go phone that he just happened to give to a friend who just happened to send them as a joke to a glamour model!!! yeah right!

both the Little Britain sketch and this story are equally unbelievable!

upahill · 12/02/2010 14:20

foxinsocks Flippin 'eck I missed THAT thread!!

VinegarTits · 12/02/2010 14:21

i use a pay-as-you-go phone

only i wish i was shagging around

SixtyFootDoll · 12/02/2010 14:22

I am trying to work out how AC managed to take naked photos of HIMSELF?
He must have very long arms.

I hope she doesn't mind me linking!

he must have taken them in the mirror SixtyFootDoll!

pagwatch · 12/02/2010 14:26

I thgink tis more likely that Ashley sent them to his friend and his friend then forwarded them to said glamour model.

( given Cheryls prediliction for pubescent gay boys a la geordie joe and little lovely popstar trio ...))

upahill · 12/02/2010 14:27

OMG!!! foxinsocks I would DIE if that was me.
My heart would top!
