'The Snacks are too expensive!' — Why £130k-a-week England World Cup reject Cole Palmer hates cinemas

• Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer has been shockingly left out of Thomas Tuchel’s final England squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

• Speaking to Sky Sports, the £130k-a-week superstar dropped a hilarious, viral rant detailing exactly why he thinks cinemas are "rubbish."

• Despite his massive wealth, Palmer’s biggest complaints about movie theatres include the price of popcorn and having to be quiet around strangers.

Cole Palmer might be one of the most ice-cold attackers in world football, but it turns out he has zero chill when it comes to a standard night at the movies!

The Chelsea megastar is currently the biggest talking point in football group chats after Thomas Tuchel dropped a total bombshell by completely leaving him out of England’s final squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

But instead of hiding away to lick his wounds, Palmer sat down for an incredibly candid chat with Sky Sports and ended up breaking the internet with a hilarious, ultra-frugal lifestyle rant.

When the interviewer innocently asked the 24-year-old about the last film he watched, Palmer didn't hold back, bluntly declaring:

You would think a man pocketing a staggering £130,000 every single week wouldn't care about the price of a bag of Maltesers or a large popcorn. But Palmer proved he is still a regular, everyday lad from Wythenshawe at heart.

Lining up his grievances like a man who has been waiting to get this off his chest for years, Palmer broke down his definitive, five-step manifesto on why the theatre experience is a total scam:

And yes, before you ask, the internet is already laughing at the fact that "Cold" Palmer listed four reasons but confidently labelled them as his "five reasons why cinemas are rubbish." Classic!

The interview has instantly gone viral, with some fans loudly praising Palmer for being so incredibly relatable.

Complaining about the daylight robbery of cinema snack prices while earning millions a year is elite-level penny-pinching that every single fan can get behind.

While colleagues like Arthur Okonkwo are busy celebrating blockbuster international switches, Palmer seems perfectly content staying at home on his couch, controlling his own TV volume, and eating reasonably priced snacks.

Tuchel might have deemed his world-class talent surplus to requirements for the World Cup, but Palmer has firmly secured the trophy for the most hilariously grounded footballer of 2026.
