If you don’t leave lots of lovely comments about me on this website and regularly send me envelopes stuffed with cash I’m going to stamp my foot, send an email virus to your computer or find out your home address and sign you up to every bit of junk mail I can find.
Sorry, I was just trying out the William Gallas approach to getting what you want out of life. I won’t really do any of the above so please don’t call the police.
It’s hard to know who to believe in this Chelsea vs Gallas row isn’t it? Chelsea claim their ex-player refused to play in games and threatened to score own goals and give away penalties if he did. Given the spoilt brat nature of some Premiership footballers I can almost believe it, but something just doesn’t sit comfortably with me.
If Gallas was such an enfant terrible - nice use of French there don’t you think? It means terrible child in case you were struggling - why did Chelsea continue to play him after his outbursts last season, why did they offer him a new lucrative contract in the summer and why were they so desperate to hold on to him when Arsenal tried to sign him?
I know some of the temper tantrums came after he had made it clear that he wanted to leave and Chelsea threatened to leave him to rot in the reserves, but isn't that sort of threat equally childish?
Hmmm, the plot thickens and as I’m no Agatha Christie you ain’t going to get no plot-twisting crime caper here and there will be no unmasking of the villain at the end of the piece because, in short, I’m as mystified as you are by they whole farce.
All it seems to prove to me is that Chelsea think they can do and say what they want with Jose Mourinho as manager and Roman Abramovich’s millions behind and that the top players are so sheltered and so privileged, that they believe they can behave like children when things don’t go their own way.
The phrase sent to bed with no tea springs to mind.
