Patrice Evra returned to International football after being suspended by the FFA for his part in the protests against the former French manager Raymond Domenech.
As captain, Evra was seen as a ring-leader, a role which he himself denies having.
Ahead of France’s 2-0 win over Luxembourg this weekend, former Arsenal midfielder, Robert Pires, expressed his sympathy for Evra and the rest.
“I sympathise with the players. They were managed by a madman – Raymond Domenech,” he said. “I speak from experience. When I was called up to play for France, when he was in charge, I felt I was going to a madhouse. I was physically sick. Arsene Wenger used to ask me what was wrong. I would reply that I didn’t want to go there. The man is insane.”
Evra’s return has meant that Gael Clichy, who filled in during our player’s absence, was missing from Laurent Blanc’s squad.
“It’s difficult to accept, but it’s part of the game,” Clichy told L’Equipe. “Even if there is no hierarchy, I know it’s there. I’m not going to lie to you: it’s disappointing, it is no fun, but I knew it was possible. I was prepared.”

Dry your eyes mate.
buu fucking hoo
Evra was always going to be first choice when he came back
Knock knock.
Pat is a legend in the making….best lb in the world…..
As if Clichy is anywhere near or will ever be anywhere near Evra’s quality. No competition.
Men go on the field and win. Boys stand on the sidelines and cry.
What is alarming is that he expected himself to be picked ahead of Evra. What a fool!
Arsenal’s Clichy by name, and an arsenal cliche by nature.
Same old arsenal, always crying.
The only competition for Evra would have been Abidal(GOD BLESS HIM) Clichy should learn from Evra and stop moaning! One tends to wonder at times how these Arsenal players are brought up at their Club. Always Complaining, grumbling. Not a good mentality at all. THERE’S ONLY ONE UNITED!!!
Wait a min, that grade A pussy twat Naseri captained the french side yesterday?
I would be embarrased if a United player said this..
Our players always do the talking on the pitch/training ground in these circumstances, dont they..
the exception was Argie cunt, who we thankfully got rid of
In response to redruders comment about nasri, what your problem with him.
As a united fan I don’t have a reason to hate him an will admit he’s quite a good player.
I think it’s important as football fans to be able to appreciate good football and players when we see it – and not let blind and unqualified hate make us bitter to others for no reason.
There are of course some players who deserve the hate but personally I don’t have a problem with nasri
Never mind Clichy you cunt. Fuck off.
Yeah why would he choose Evra over you…
Good to see Patrice Evra back where he belongs in the national team.
I See Laurent Blanc as a potential UTd manager depending how he does with France over the next couple years.
clichy is deluded, he’s been poor for the last 2 years and he expected to be 1st choice leftback for his country… even if he was playing well evra is better player anyway.
Come on lads Gliches a talent imagine being da silva and having danni alves in front of you, all gliche has to remember potty paddy is just a bit better than him.
Is pissing and whinging and bottling trophies the only thing these mincing cunts do? Nasri moaning. Van perise. Wenger demanding different kick off times. Sagna crying about scholes. Fuck off and play and let the bigboys win titles. Cunts.
H R. Nasri is a little cunt mate. I dislike him immensely. He is a snidey little bastard. Squaring up to scholesy and a cheeky pull of his hair. Fucking girl. Scholesy would smash his face in. He only messed with paul when he had his back turned. Always giving it large how arsenal are superior and how united run scared and play defensively. He isn’t even that good. Granted he had a good august to november but since then has gone missing and failed to turn up at old trafford. No I don’t like him.
King Eric, couldn’t agree more, its ok being called the best player this season but when you go missing when it counts you are classed amongst the biggest of cowardly custard cunts, which is excactly what Nasri is, fair play to Jack Wilshere who tried to give us a game, are you watching Nasri you lilly Livered Cunt!!!
@ King Eric,
Couldnt agree with you more, he’s fucking skanky pretending to be French. Who the fuck is he to pull Scholes’s hair behind his back and get him booked. Would love to have seen him get filled in off the pitch the puff.
He’s always fucking moaning cos things dont go exactly how he wants them to. Stupid scarf wearing prick. Talented player? No doubt. Absolute wanker? 100%! Player of the season? Fuck off! He was excellent in the first third of the season, scored a lot of goals, and carried Arsenal on his own, but he’s gone missing in the second half and business end, with little to no sign of him turning up again.
Fuck him.
And as for Clichy he’s a fucking twat too, not even fit to lace Evra’s boots. Useless scarf wearing bastard as well.
Nasri is a cunt. Nasri is a cunt. Here I said it. And wouldn’t mind saying it again.
Say it whenever you feel like Raizzen it.
Some genuinely twisted comments. I hope all Man Utd fans aren’t like this. Jeeze.
Nasri is a snood wearing mincing little cunt. He’s lucky Scholesy didn’t break his jaw.
lol. Came a lil too late.
There you go HR. You got all you were looking for.
He may be a decent player, but it stops at that.
This is the sort of heartwarming story I come to RoM for. Seriously – watching the Arsenal babies cry whenever they can’t get their toys is always a highlight of the day.
That said, I’d rather all our players retire from international football and devote the rest of their careers to United. Berbatov retires and boom, he gets a hat-trick against Liverpool. You just have to look at Scholes to see what wonders retiring from international football does for a player’s club career.
If you cant see that nasri is a horrible little kunt you need your head testing. Good player, but a rite slimy little kunt.
Evra >>>>>> Clichy !!!!!!!!!
@gooner All United fans are not like this. I have no problem with Wilshere getting a place in England squad ahead of Carrick, but you’ve gotta admit Evra was the obvious choice here.
Gooner – Nasri is a CUNT
Clichy should be used to being runner up behind Evra by now.
Yep, Evra is indeed a fascinating player and I loved seeing him playing and overlapping the left flank. It’s good if he can also score for both club and country…
@heinnlinn Yeah. Clichy isn’t the best left back in the league, which i personally feel is A.Cole then Evra, so he isn’t going to be number 1 for france. What i dont understand is what people find so wrong with him wanting to try and make the left back jersey his own. Hell, internationals suit players better than league level games on occasions. Nothing wrong with trying. And all he has said, is that he’s dissapointed too not be first choice. Instead theres cries of him being a cunt and then the vendetta against Nasri. Don’t know where to start about that.
gooner
When an arsenal player openly admits sadness, frustration and disappointment, we cheer!
When that sadness, frustration and disappointment is due to United, we cheer loudly, and throw rude comments.
This surprises you, which is in itself surprising, if you have been around football for a while, which I guess you have. If you have, then chances are you are not surprised at all, just winding us up.
Finally, you ‘don’t know where to start’ on ‘the vendetta against Nasri.’
Start with Nasri.
what a significant cunt
