Merde! William Gallas Victim Of Anti-French Bias, Says Frenchman

by | 25th, November 2008

FORMER Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit claims that the British tabloid media has victimised William Gallas because he is blackā€¦ er, French. French, that’s what we mean.

In an interview with French sports newspaper L’Equipe, Petit said:

“The gutter press in England are doing their job well. They’re only too happy to hit out at French players, as I know myself.

“Look at other French players such as Eric Cantona, too. They’ve done it before.”

Yes, the way the media idolised Cantona was a clear example of the anti-French media stance. Petit himself was very well-respected by British hacks, as was compatriot Patrick Vieira, his former partner at the heart of Arsenal’s midfield.

Gallas is an idiot with a book to sell, end of story. So what if he’s a French idiot. No conspiracy here, Manu.
