I personally think France should play its first choice team and ignore the British clubs spiteful little tantrums.

These are the same clubs which incidently are calling for the Player's Football Association to get a smaller percentage of television money next year because they are getting extra cash from Sky and ITV.

The cash doesn't go to the world class players its for training stars of the future, promoting the game in Britain and rehabilitating and retraining those whose careers are ruined by injury.

We could have player's strikes soon.

Incidently I'm a Spurs fan and we don't have any French players so I couldn't care less if they play 40 games in Oz this year. But I'd like to think I'd feel the same if we did.
