More than enough has been written about the unfortunate turn-of-events when France advanced to the
2010 World Cup at Ireland's behest.
Though Thierry Henry is the culprit, he should not become a villain, nor have his reputation
tarnished by what will surely become the omnipresent fine print in his character bio forever.

Thanks Alexia for the photo!
So he's not exactly the world's favourite man right now, but Titipo Henry has
officially joined The Dona's recreational volleyball club after his handball
against Ireland. Ok, instead of calling him a hypocrite like everyone, let's sit down and have a
drink.

This is a picture of what's currently going down in the center of Paris. No, that is not a
Frenchman celebrating the lack of video replay in football. No, that is not an Irishman infuriated
by the lack of integrity by one Thierry Henry. Hell, it's not even the CEO of Caran d'Ache.

start about a new one-year deal, there has been talk the 32-year-old is keen to move abroad.

fitness.

The mid-table Bundesliga outfit has yet to make an official approach but is keen on securing the
services of the Ukrainian international.
Voronin has struggled to adapt to the demands of the Premier League since he arrived at Anfield on

Under-fire Liverpool striker David Ngog believes he has the character to cope with the pressure put
on him.
Ngog has come in for fierce criticism in recent days after he dived to win Liverpool a penalty in
their 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Monday.
The Frenchman believes he is still learning his way in the game and that his experiences will make
him stronger in the future.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Nasty old November has never been too kind to the Gunners under our esteemed
leader's reign and this morning's Mirror claims the Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is desperate to
break the curse.
It claims the Frenchman has claimed that this month will be decisive in determining whether
Arsenal can maintain their challenge for the Premier League title and, in particular, avoid
injuries which have hurt them badly in the past.

by CARL ELDRIDGE The goal-hungry Gunners are on course for a record-breaking ton of Premier
League goals.
And this merits mention in today's Press with the Daily Mirror telling us that Arsene Wenger's

games.

It all started on September 19th in the year 2000. David Trezeguet, a high profile 40 billion
lira signing from the then French champions AS Monaco, scored his first goal for Juventus an 83rd
minute winner against Panathinaikos in the Champions League.
Nine years later, the 32-year-old Frenchman, who spent his formative years in Argentina watching
his father finish his own playing career, celebrated his 167th goal for the Bianconeri, making him
the most prolific foreign goalscorer in the club's history.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Manuel Almunia has been told by Arsene Wenger that he will remain Arsenal's No
1 goalkeeper.
But the Daily Mail reports that while the Spaniard prepares to face Wolves today he may be
interested in the rave review Wenger has given fellow Frenchman Hugo Lloris, the 22-year-old Lyon
keeper who starred in the Champions League midweek frustration of Liverpool.

Ligue 1 teams had an amazing week in the Champions League (not so much in the Europa) that somewhat
validated my prediction of French teams being real contenders this year. While Bordeaux won with
class and Lyon once again upset Liverpool in the same manner they did 2 weeks ago, Marseille
destroyed Zurich and are now in a position to make Real and Milan sweat.

Arsenal attacked AZ Alkmaar with speed and purpose to all but seal their place in the knockout
stages of the Champions League.

Whisper it quietly but this may be the real deal. Arsenal's speed and incision cut apart Dutch

The news that Gael Clichy is out for up to two months is unfortunate and may harm Arsenal's
trophy ambitions. When he first started his career at Arsenal, he was very injury prone, with
continuous operations on his broken metatarsals. He always seems to get injured at an awkward time
for The Gunners, and will return in the New Year.

Ronald Koeman's freaky run against Arsenal and English teams in general was abruptly brought to
an end. It could have been a lot worse had Arsene decided to keep a Fabregas keen to get his
hatrick as well as the stand in goal creating machine in Arshavin.
Barely three minutes had gone when a few one touch passes led to Van Persie firing just wide
across goal.

Jamie Carragher admits Liverpool are paying the price for letting Nicolas Anelka leave the
club.
The Chelsea striker enjoyed a productive loan spell at Anfield under Gerard Houllier in 2001-02,
but chose not to sign the Frenchman permanently, instead signing El Hadji Diouf was signed for £12
million.

Kudos are clearly warranted for Clint Dempsey as he hits his second goal in as many weeks for
Fulham FC. While his first professional coach and likely mentor, ex-Liverpool great Steve
Nicol, might not immediately love that Clint helped Fulham take down Liverpool, it was clearly a
significant achievement following a goal the prior week against wanna-be powerhouse Manchester
City.

So another decent performance sees United secure all three points at Old Trafford. Overall, I
was pleased with the result, but still found a few things troubling. The inability of our three
main strikers to score consistently when given the opportunity is slightly worrying, but Obertan's
EPL debut coupled with Berba's world class finish left me as happy as could be.

When I travel abroad, people often tell me that the United States is good at soccer only because
they import foreigners to play for the national team. While this strategy was key in our
development as a soccer nation, it is far, far less common today. The 1990s saw the US scour
European leagues for players with American connections, coming up with gems such as Ernie Stewart
and Thomas Dooley (both of whom had American servicemen fathers) and duds such as David Wagner and
David Regis (the latter was a Frenchman whose late call-up into the 1998 World Cup squad led to
great friction within the team and was a large part of the team's horrible showing in that
tournament).

Gabriel Obertan has made a bright start to his Manchester United career, putting in a good
performance against Barnsley in the week and impressing during his half hour run against Blackburn

With ten minutes left to play and the game still at 1-0, Obertan had the opportunity to make it
a dream start when Valencia presented him with a chance to score from five yards out.
