So every, as you can imagine, every member of the French media went to the training session.
The players arrived, no boots on.
And the media are like, are these lads not wearing boots?
What's going on here?
And they were just walking around.
They went to see the fans and they went to go back up to the bus.
And then Evra and Dominic basically go at each other on the training pitch.
And the press officer has to step in.
The press officer ends up nearly fighting with Everett on the pitch.
This obviously all gets photographed and videoed because it's during the open session.
And Everett comes back off the bus, hands him a statement from the team.
And the team statement was that they wanted Nicolas Anelka to be reinstated to the squad or they wouldn't train.
And Dominic basically took it from the press officer's hand and read it out to the media in front of them.
I was basically like, well, screw them.
And what else did Dominic have in his pocket?
The keys to the bus so that the bus couldn't leave.
