A bit of French football

Those of us who are happy with our UK football teams' achievements so far, will empathise with Olympique Marseille supporters,  OM having reached the Europa League final against Atletico Madrid (sorry Arsenal supporters).
The first European final for 14 years for OM, who despite sitting fourth, 20 points behind Paris St Germain, are desperate to regain former glories. The club has been mired with allegations of corruption over the last few years and their supporters have a pretty fearsome reputation especially when playing PSG or Olympique Lyon. Ironic therefore that the final is to be played at OL's ground on 16th May. One of the club's players has appealed for supporters to "respect" the Lyonnais stadium and city - despite his intention to "tout casser chez Aulas" - the owner of OM.
