Proof you can't buy class....

And the Ca$hley - William Gallas saga rumbles on....
Chelsea claim they sold William Gallas because he threatened to score an own goal if he was selected.
Gallas 'issued own-goal threat'

Compare and contrast with Arsène's dignified comments about Ca$hley's departure:

'Upon Ashley`s departure I would like to thank him on behalf of the team and everyone connected with the Club for his contribution to our success over recent years, Ashley has always played with his heart for Arsenal.'
'I remember giving him his debut nearly seven years ago and he grabbed the opportunity. He had a strong desire to succeed and ultimately it was that determination that sees him leave this Club. Ashley has grown up with Arsenal and given time, will hopefully appreciate what the Club has given him. I feel the future is bright for this team and look forward to seeing it challenge for honours.'

These statements demonstrate the difference between the two clubs. Personally, I hope Gallas just ignores this petty, childish smear attempt by Chelski (true or not) and gets on with playing football for Arsenal.
