West Ham<\/a>‘s Carlton Cole<\/a> has admitted his FA charge of improper conduct following the comments he made on Twitter during England<\/a>‘s friendly with Ghana<\/a> at Wembley last month.<\/p>\n

The striker wrote, but subsequently removed: “Immigration has surrounded the Wembley premises! I knew it was a trap! Hahahaha. The only way to get out safely is to wear an England jersey and paint your face w\/the St. George’s flag!”<\/p>\n

Cole, who has played for England seven times himself, said the comments were simply meant as\u00a0 a joke, but the FA deem them serious enough to take action that will likely come in the form of a fine.<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea man has requested a personal hearing over the matter which will take place in the next two weeks.<\/p>\n
