Patrice Evra’s popularity in France has sunk either further after he was caught on camera wiping his arse with Mathieu Valbuena’s shirt.
Paris magazine, Le 10 Sport, said: “It was disgusting! But this gesture shows above all a real lack of respect towards the blue of France and all that it stands for. We struggle to imagine Evra doing the same with the Manchester United shirt.”

Oh dear.
to be honest I’d do it with a France top too lol….
errr, and? This video has and could easily be taken out of context… Pat is a GENT. FULLSTOP!
Top class WUM!
Seriously? The lad picks up a shirt that he’s sat on and he’s wiping his arse?!?!? Proper wind up? Was this poste by a certain L. Suarez, the buck toothed girl from luxumberg?!!
Evra smelled it – that’s more worrying!
Meaning he actually blasted some fresh air on it!
he clearly is joking about something we don’t know when Ribery and the other french fag laughed
Evra sat on the shirt by mistake and then realized afterwards. He knew nothing about it. And why are we making him look bad for….someone delete this story as its pointless….FACT
Evra removes shirt from bench without standing up !
This action is lampooned by anti-Evra activists, and a journalist exhibiting unusually poor judgement in this instance.
The headline writer sensationally and somewhat disingenuously promotes ridicule against the player most present for United during the recent years of glory, the player who captains United in Vidic’s long absence.
Evra Removes Shirt From Bench Without Standing Up !
or
French Journos Still Twisting The Knife !
Don’t know what the fuss is? I done the same with a Liverpool top.
Lmaooo he’s smelling it afterwards
Now I’m not being funny but the way he sits down and wiggles is clear indication he’s delibrately wiping his arse.
Just like when he moved his hand for suarez.
Just like he accused chelski groundstaff of making racial slurs.
Excuse the pun but what a pile of shit this story actually is.
Well, shit!!
But I don’t think he’s arsed?
why does he sniff it afterwards?
The journalists clearly dont like him after what happened during World cup 2010 in south Africa when he was france captain. They will pick on the most stupid of things and make a massive deal out of it.
Again this story is trying to say that he did it deliberately, but looking at the video evidence it seems he really didnt know nothing about it. Evra is a professional for his club and im sure he behaves the same for his country…people should stop jumping to conclusion..this story whoever wrote it is trying to give OUR player a bad image… absolutely pathetic and biased journalism…..either change the story line or get rid off it.
Bad person, worse defender.
Not sure why he’s here, never mind captain. Baines first choice, Fabio as back up.
What’s United got to do with it??? Global ABU conspiracy, methinks!
everyone hates united those are simple facts.. for some reason they are against us and our players and i really cant tell u why!!….everyone little stupid thing is about united..leave off it and get a life u journalists
Off topic? Dirk Diggler leaves dippers for Fenerbahce.
He didn’t look like he wiped his arse but who the fuck cares if he did.
If they say anything he will organize another mutiny.
Yeah. It smells; so does Camembert. BUT why did NinjaEvra actually need to bring it up to his nose for confirmation ?
Like WillieRedNut wrote earlier, we’d all do the same with a LiverPoo shirt
My Friend just sent me this on MSN.

(18.00 UK)
SQUADS – Real Madrid: Buyo, Contreras, Illgner, Roberto Carlos, Chendo, Rojas, Velasco, Hierro, Sabido, Sanchis, Fernando Sanz, Ramis, Karanka, Garcia Cortes, Redondo, Helguera, Zidane, Martin Vazquez, Figo, Butragueño, Amavisca, Alfonso, Ivan Perez, Santillana, Morientes.

I hope the match is available to watch somewhere….would love to see the likes of
Edwin,Irwin,Andy Cole,Robbo,Teddy,York again……along with Madrista legends like Hierro,Helguera,Zizou,Figu and Morientes.
Dirk has gone?
Scousers are going to miss some porn filled goals there
Oh yesh!
Evra is fucked now. I mean they wanted him deleted out of the squad anyway so finding a reason to do it has just been presented to them. I don’t get the sensitive bullshit, evra has always showed patriotism and passion and it’s just a bloody shirt.
Papii – Michael Thomas? When the fuck did he play for United?
Cahill out of Euros. Hope Rio tells woy to shove it!
Sad to see that Keano isn’t involved. Butty either.
Cahill out? He’ll probably call up some Liverpool Reserves cunt.
Willie
Fearz not Martin Kelley from ze LFC haz been promoted to ze English foozball team
Martin flat bap Kelly is his replacement.
Willie – super martin kelly has been called up to save the day. Rio is waiting and chilling at his holiday, he’d turn up there in a breeze. England really are in the Shit by picking all these average pool players.
Ahhhh there you have it.
The thing with this video is that it doesnt show who’s top it is, what’s to say he wasnt having a bit of banter with another player by wiping his arse with THEIR top rather than wiping his arse with the French top. Benzema and Ribery seem to be having a giggle about it and looking at some other player and laughing too!!
It doesn’t help that fact that he sniffed it the shirt. Fucking brilliant. Some people are too sensitive I wod.not care less if that was a united shirt.
MG & Samuel
Rio needs a break, anyway. Martin Kelly though? Deary me….
Martin Kelly & Jordan Henderson > Rio Ferdinand & Michael Carrick. No question about that.
Cahil out and Kelly in, this has to be the most mediocre side since graham Taylor.
Willie – i really do not know what hodgson is smoking? is he on a crack pipe? anyone else have an idea?. He’s got some players in that squad that haven’t got the quality to make impacts. Rio and carrick will rest and hopefully back next season to induce their experience into united’s team.
Who the fuck is Martin Kelly??
Cedars
He’s Martin Kelly
If he has done deliberately then He should be criticized. I can bet if that was united shirt then everyone here would have gone mad and abused that player.
Again it is not easy to say whether he did it deliberately or not. Honestly we united fans should not be proud of this fact. I am not over reacting but I hope he is not our captian next season. Honestly a bit disappointed.
hodgson is gonna be mocked for the rest of his career if england get knocked tumbling out (which they will). The media will have prepared a new nickname for him. i hope he can cope.
Correction: Lampard was replaced by Phil Jagielka, not Jordan Henderson. So it’s
Martin Kelly & Phil Jagielka > Rio Ferdinand & Michael Carrick.
Rio’s had a subtle dig at Woy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/209285968430243840
act* not fact
MG
Thanks, it makes sense now!!
So now 6th liverpool player joins england squad. Seriously wtf is hodgson doing. Poor smalling misses out because of injury.
What a non-story. Evra accidently sat on a shirt, and jus pulled it out and smell it, gathered it was somewhat disgusting for the smelling part, how did it become wiping his ass? I suppose the journalist who wrote this wipes his ass this way
Ribery laughed. Is that just as disgracefully unpatriotic being that he didn’t punch Evra in the mouth for doing it? Evra > France.
Cedars
It’s elementary my Dear Cedars
Willie – The defence rests
Can I ask you to rename this thread Scott? Its not like Evra is wiping Valbuena’s jersey up and down his crack. He’s sat on it, realises, takes it up, snifts it for a stupid reaction out of his team mates and that’s it. He’s going to get absolutely massacred in France because of headlines that make it sounds like he took a dump and cleaned his backside with the national jersey. RAWK has already lost the plot over it. At least call this blog entry “Evra accused of wiping his backside with France shirt”.
Fred – Mickey Thomas ?
I dunno but I think he played during the 70′s… way before my time.
Is this REALLY newsworthy?
Christ i think i need to find another blog because Scotts getting pretty pathetic with what he posts and writes this past season.
This is a shit article…..scuse the pun, it doesnt show evra wiping his arse with it at all….he removes it after sitting on the shirt, then shares a little private joke …….get off his back FFS
Eeeeyy,this is too offensive to EVRA,am a scouser bt I see this imagination n insulting EVRA,a very Gentle guy is really unfair,he sat on it,ddnt knw,till when he realised sth was under his backside,,stupid post!!!!
Papii – Ohhhhh Mickey Thomas!
I forgot all about him. Welsh winger, maker of counterfeit notes. 
659 million fans worldwide boys!!!..cant wait for te season to start…life without man utd playing football is boring as heell!!!
Sorry the press is after Evra………….the shirt was here and he sat on it…its a natural reflx to see what is under you and once to smell if it is dirty or not…but this shows that the press want to cut Evra into pieces
by hook or by crook.
You lot are brain dead morons,you come from everywhere apart from the shithole city,brain dead idiots.the man is a disgrace,a cheat.
Micheldu9 – a reflection:
You are a brain dead moron. People from everywhere come in your shit-hole. Brain dead idiot, you are despicable.
oh Patrice, when will Leighton Baines come?
Oh no, u could have written this article supporting patrice. Instead you jump on the bandwagon of journos who have no stories for the summer thus far. If you believe this then u need your head checked, it’s not as if he went out his way to look for a shirt to wipe his arise. Looks like he’s not allowed to sit on a shirt n smell it
The actions of teammates in a changing room where joking and pranks are commonplace is one thing. To take that and project it to disrespect of the national colors is at best bias against and individual and at worst utter idiocy and outright attack journalism.
stupid topic really
Top man Paddy !!
With that attitude he hould play for Ingerlund but then with hindsight he has no chance of selection because firstly he isn’t crap and secondly he doesn’t play for the rat munchers.
