Yes. They called him Frankenstein when he played for Marseille.

Zinedine Zidane is a god.

Well, normally when it comes to France, the French or French citizens of Algerian decent, I'd dismiss them out of hand. But on Zinedine Zidane I can't disagree.

Is it good? I suppose it's part of the long therapeutical treatment and a step in the right direction towards recuperation and regaining my once Francophile tendancies. Alas, however, I might have Général de Gaulle as an avatar, have his words as my signature, agree that Zizou is a god and still enjoy the odd glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but I fear that there is such a long long way to go yet.

I care, passionately, just like a French person discussing science versus religion over a mouldy croissant, a cold cup of Café au lait and packet of a gauloises blondes. You want to talk about the fight? Would you like to take this outside, sir and we can discuss it?

I challenge you to a duel! *

*in my best French accent.

Then monsieur, I accept your challenge. But in honour of the République and my fellow French citizens, I am afraid that I'll be forced to run in the other direction before you or I have time to draw our duelling pistols.

Can't we just slap each other with our white gloves?

That's fine. Take that you.. you.. American pig.

is that The Scarlet Pumpernickle?

No, it's Lord Darcy Pue from a 60s British Carry On film. I believe this is the chap, aka the Le Comte de Frou Frou, you are looking for with a sausage that looks suspiciously like a horse's willy.

And you sir, taste my glove.
