It's great to see my Chelsea friends, I don't have any at Arsenal - Gunners captain Gallas's surprise admission

Arsenal captain William Gallas has made the remarkable claim that he has no true friends within Arsene Wenger's squad and admitted that he is an awe of former Chelsea team-mate John Terry.

Gallas hopes to be in the France team to face England in Paris tomorrow night and will renew acquaintances with Terry, Joe Cole and Frank Lampard just days after Chelsea ended Arsenal's Barclays Premier League title hopes with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

Asked by a French newspaper who his mates were at Arsenal, Gallas said: "Mates? Well, they are more like acquaintances. At Arsenal there is Theo Walcott but he is very young.

"Really, it's the guys at Chelsea like Frank Lampard, John Terry, Wayne Bridge and Joe Cole. It always gives me pleasure to see them again.

"We all have our own lives but when we see each other - especially Terry - we always like to spend some time talking together.

"After all, I spent five years by their sides. There is always something between us. John Terry in particular. I like his mentality. He is a real warrior.

"In fact he is an example to me even though he is much younger than me."

Gallas' peculiar reaction could possibly be explained by a suggestion that he understood the question to refer to English mates at Arsenal.

Either way, his comments are unlikely to go down well at the Emirates Stadium.

Well it would appear to me that he was talking about English mates. He only has one at Arsenal because he only has two to choose from!

Friends with JT etc??? I think not. In the tunnel Jt and the lads offered their hands 1st to Billy to shake. He hardly took any notice.....................then i sware Maka stacked it down the stairs lol

i dunno, maybe he understood the question but just simply has no friends lol. He doesnt look the same player with them, he seemed a lot happier with us. He doesnt even look that impressive at the back anymore. Ive seen him get out paced and out fought a lot of times since joining arse. Hes not the same defender anymore.
