Media: Hit or Miss - Spectacular own goal for Arsenal and French international Gallas costs him captaincy

Gunning for himself Arsenal and French international footballer William Gallas has discovered that literary promotion is not as easy as it looks. In an Associated Press interview to launch his autobiography, he accused teammates of a lack of bravery and spilled the beans on friction in the squad. The result? He was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy, dropped and fined two weeks' wages (£180,000). Let's hope his advance covers it.
