| Why the sudden trend for french players? Maybe its because they are in fashion. Before they won the world cup in 1998 Ginola, Viera, Grimandi and Petit were the only french players players from the list above who were playing in the premership. Arsene Wenger was also Arsenals manager. There has been an explosion of frenchmen arriving. This could be down to the successfull results of the national academy at Bloomfontien which has been starting to reap its fruits over the last few years. Why didn't England start this sort of thing earlier it has cost them dearly, and according to Michell Platini we are "ten years behind". We are one of the richest footballing nations, we invented the game, our population isnt that much different from that of our rivals and the number one sport in France is cycling!! |

| OH DEAR This is an example of what happens when managers are given license to buy cheap foriegners. Hang your head Arsene!! |

| SILVAN WILTORD Arsenal's record signing has hardly played for the gunners. just another foriegner here to pick up wages, although he has chipped in with soem important goals. |

| THE LEAGUES BEST FRENCHIES? Although we would all prefer there to home grown talent in the teams we all know that it is important to have the top players playing in our league instead of other rival leagues. In Patrick Viera and Theirry Henry we have certainly got that. |
