Lily Allen has launched a new attack on footballers - and their wives and girlfriends.

The outspoken star is quoted as saying she finds the current state of British soccer “ridiculous, I hate it”: “Footballers aren’t there to show off [partying] in London, but to play football.

“Mind you, they are probably too stupid to understand that. Especially the English ones. [They] go out everywhere they can find alcohol for too much money and sex for nothing.

“[Ashley Cole] is the worst, he disgusts me. He jumps on everything that moves. I am not criticising just to criticise, but I have met him several times. He is revolting.”

And she doesn’t think much of Ashley’s wife Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole either: “She is just a bitch. She represents everything I hate. She is stupid, superficial and as ugly outside as inside.

“The Beckhams are sickening [too]. Everyone knows Victoria is a monster. I’d rather shoot myself between the eyes than be a WAG.”
