Ecoute, je suis super grand fan du foot francais depuis toujours (depuis 78 au moins) et c�est une equipe qui a toujours eu beaucoup de fans neutres. C�est justement pourquoi il faut agir maintenant.

Il faut agir et changer les regles, rejouer le match serait un geste enorme je sais, et peu vraisemblable, mais c�est en passant par�l� que cela peut s�ameliorer. je suis d�accord avec toi sur l�hypocrisie, mais un mal n�en justifie pas un autre.

"By 11.20pm it's all over and we adjourn to the grim little cell in the basement laughingly called our "hospitality room". Once upon a time this contained some passable canap�s and a selection of drinks. Nowadays there may be a couple of bottles of Uzbekistan's finest Riesling and a plate of Monster Munch."

One of the more underrated qualities of life in Paris is FM radio. How many cities come close to the wealth and richness of stations available here? The French may have invented cinema and dream about being on TV, but they are at home on the radio.
