A Pick Me Up; Bordeaux Style

After yesterday’s disgusting display by a group of Chelsea fans in Paris, I thought we could all use a bit of niceties.

Despite their manager, Willy Sagnol, making terribly racist comments about African players back in November their fans showed some class.

Messy? Yes. Beautiful? Yes. Classy? Absolutely.
