From Crabfootball:

Chelsea forward Nicolas Anelka has the football world on tenter hooks with the imminent release of his audacious autobiography ‘It’s not me. It’s everyone else.’ Which critics are are already labelling ’shocking’ and ‘compelling.’

The book, which details Anelka’s rise from Parisian street urchin to World Cup winner certainly pulls no punches, firing broadsides at former team mates from Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City, Paris St German, Liverpool and Galatasary.

“I wasn’t accepted anywhere I went.” Says Anelka with heart breaking honesty.

In it Anelka exposes the bullying tactics employed by multi national clubs world wide and holds a mirror to the ugly face of football. Some critics have even labelled it the sports equivilent to Nelson Mandela’s ‘Long Walk to Freedom.’

However none of the targets suffer the wrath of Anelka as much as former team mate Patrick Vieira, whom Anelka describes as a ‘world class git.’

In excerpts to be serialised in the Guardian Anelka reveals:

“My career at Arsenal was going from strength to strength until the day I crossed Vieira, who was better known in the Arsenal dressing room as ‘Le Long.’ I was playing against Fulham at Highbury and I remember receiving a ball from Bergkamp, then rounding the keeper with ease and, with the goal wide open, somehow managing to screw the ball wide at the last minute. It only happened because the sun was in my eyes. It wasn’t my fault! Anyway Vieira gave me a glare and I knew I was in trouble, afterwards in the showers he tore into me and I just snapped, I knew I shouldn’t have, but I called him a ‘lanky limbed boombaclart.’

At first he just stared at me with his hollow eyes. Then…..

WHAM!

Just like that he slapped me across the face with his Willie. Just once. But it knocked me back a few steps. It was like being struck by a wet kipper. No one could believe what they saw! Can you imagine how embarrassing it is to be smacked across the face with a 14″ pork sword in front of your team mates? It was the worst moment of my life. No one said anything for what seemed like an eternity, the silence was only broken when Ashley Cole asked “Is it my turn?” It was then I knew I had to leave. When Wenger found out what he’d done he merely high fived him and shouted “And that’s why he’s the captain. POW! Look at that thing!”

I love how Ashley Cole asked to be slapped next by Vieira's Willie, yes it could also mean that he asked to slap Anelka, but I know which version I'd rather believe.

LOOL

Good old Patrick. Can't see that description being real.

 

[Goonereagle]

There are some chronological errors, but I found it hilarious!

 

[Clrnc]

How do you slap someone with your Willie? Unless Anelka is squatting down...

And I don't believe AW highfived him, totally rubbish

 

[DREVAK]

Pow! Look at that thing!

 

[Proof]

Jesus!

 

[ibby]

Well, it's obviously bullshit.

 

[Kain]

Last paragraph is pure gold.

 

[truth_hurts]

Good read but bullshit story!

 

[arsenalsocks]

LMAO at the story... and the people who are thinking this is real.

 

[arsenalsocks]

It goes on to say

Anelka’s book reveals how he only regained his confidence eventually playing alongside Paul Dickov at Manchester City. “He could fit it in a polo.” Anelka reveals.

However not all are sympathatic to Anelka’s plight. Diagne N’dour, Vieira’s life long agent and business partner, described Anelka’s book as a ‘disgrace.’

N’dour wrote on his website that, if anything, Anelka should be privileged that he was allowed to touch Vieira’s chopper:

“In our country it is a great honour to be shown, let alone come into contact with Patrick Vieira’s porridge chucker. Instead of painting my client as a tyrant Mr Anelka should be apologising for sullying my clients Willie with his miserable, miserable face.”

Patrick Vieira is yet to comment on these accusations.

Brilliant

 

[Galahad]

I found this article to be perfectly realistic. Especially the part when AW high-fives Viera saying "And that is why hes captain, look at that thing!". Thats the Wenger we know ;-)

So apparently thers another book full of **** out there...nice to know.

 

[kamikaze80]

Pow! Look at that thing!

haha that was my favourite part, too.

"how can he slap?"

Arsène Wenger took time out of his busy pre match schedule to address the hyperbole surrounding the imminent release of Nicolas Anelka’s new autobiography “It’s not me. It’s everyone else.”

As reported earlier this week the Guardian have serialised excerpts of the book where Anelka claims he was hounded out of Arsenal by the bully boy tactics of Patrick Vieira and that he was assaulted in the Arsenal dressing room. An accusation which Wenger was keen to down play.

“There are elements of truth to the story,” stated Wenger, holding his hands up, “I’ll be straight with you, Vieira’s meat cleaver is pretty big. Huge in fact. I doubt a giraffe could deep throat him. I don’t think I can exaggerate it enough to be honest.”

So is there any merit to the accusation that Vieira hit Anelka with it after the Fulham game?

“Well that thing had a life of it’s own,” said the Professor, shifting uneasily in his seat, “I mean, people don’t appreciate what a burden it was for the poor guy, we had to put a sign up in the showers saying Vieira couldn’t walk around naked. Which was pretty hard to enforce but was necessary. If something caught his attention he could turn suddenly and WHACK he’d clock something with it, break some furnishings or knock a dwarf out. That sort of thing. Overmars was out for two weeks once with a dead leg like that. We had to tell the press he did it in training. It was a nightmare.”

So did Vieira intentionally strike Anelka? Or was Arsène evading the question to protect his former captain?

“Well let’s put it like this. I think if he intentionally struck Anelka round the face with it, and really followed through, then he wouldn’t be around to write an autobiography. If you catch my drift. Unless he wrote it in a Stephen Hawkins, one button at a time with his nose, sort of way. So yeah it was an accident and Anelka should grow up. And that’s the last I’m saying on Willie Gate.”

Nicolas Anelka’s book “It’s not me. It’s everyone else” is on sale August 29th from Penguin.

Whoever writes these blog posts has a real sense of humor. Make sure you read other posts too. They're class.

The book, which details Anelka’s rise from Parisian street urchin to World Cup winner

Its a load of bollocks- Anelka never won the world cup.....The rest might be true though.

WHAM! Just like that he slapped me across the face with his Willie.

Gawd how we need Vieira in the showers now.

 

[outlaw_member]

It also explains why Roy Keane sports a beard now.

 

[ThaSaltCracka]

k,the story is obviously fake, but it Anelka really writing a book, and is that what its called?

 

[Rain Dance]

Pow! Look at that thing!

haha that was my favourite part, too.

"how can he slap?"

The only way possible is Anelka was squatting which is not possible by looking at the next sentence
"Just like that he slapped me across the face with his Willie. Just once. But it knocked me back a few steps.
Anelka was clearly standing up

and what kind of Willie slap knocked a 6' feet man few steps back? ...

 

[Kilgallon]

Haha. Fake story....or is it!?
