Agree with your first comment Swift - wouldn't touch 'em with a bargepole. The only good Frog is a sauteed one!

They're pretty cocky 'bout their games in the dark
They think with girls they light a special spark but That's why I hate the French

They say their films are the best we've ever had
Well I suppose Emanuelle wasn't bad
I'm sick and tired of eating all this Brie
And I'll be b*ggered if I'll go to gay Paris.

There's another line in there - can't recall the whole verse :-

They even steal from us the words they lack
Le weekend, le camping and cul de sac
That's why I hate the French

Mind - they can play football a bit when the mood takes them and to be fair, Guivarc'h remained loyal throughout most of his fortnight with us.

Correction to verse 1

They're pretty cocky 'bout their games in the dark
They think with girls they light a special spark but
Look what the b@st@rds did to Joan of Arc
That's why I hate the French

Aye Jonno, I'm surprised Guivarc'h didn't hold out for a testimonial!

Jonno, wasn't it us English who burnt Joan of Arc?

As for Lauren Robert, he's on the outer at PSG after spitting his dummy when he was substituted the other day. He's not a bad player mind, a left winger with pace, a good cross, and a good shot. His only trick to beat a player is to knock it past them and chase after it.

Divn't worry though, after he's talked to Domi he'll be nowhere near SJP.
