A statue of Zidane's headbutt has been erected outside the Pompidou Centre in Paris:
Whatever next, a statue of Cantona's Kung Fu Kick or Di Canio pushing over that ref?
In other French news, their new proposed top tax rate of 75% which looks almost certain to be ratified is another nail in the coffin of FFP. As PSG, who spend beyond their means even more than City and Chelsea have done in the past year or two, will now have massively increased wage bills as their contracts with players are agreed net of tax i.e. they have to pick up the extra tax burden.
Of course, unlike with English clubs, we will not hear Platini coming out in critiscism of them. Partly because they're French and partly because his son is one of their directors.
