I’m Emmanuel Petit, World Cup winner with France and former Arsenal, Chelsea, Monaco and Barcelona player. Ask me anything.

You are out shopping in Tescos when you suddenly feel the onset of explosive diarrhoea. You make your way to the toilets, and there is only one stall, but thankfully it's empty.

After reliving yourself (and absolutely ruining the toilet), you suddenly discover that there is no toilet paper or paper towels. The only things in the toilet are an air hand dryer, a sink, and a mirror.

What do you do, Emmanuel?

I flush the toilet of course, and then with the clean water I clean my ass. Like a bidet.

Who is the most difficult player you have had to play* against?

Scholes.

Hey Emmanuel , who was the laziest team mate you've ever had? On the other hand, who was the best professional?

Fabien Barthez

I went into his room in the national team and said, can't you just put your pants away? And he said, but if I leave them on the floor, I can just wake up, step into my pants and pull them up

If you could say one thing to a younger Emmanuel Petit, what would it be?

Don't worry, be happy

What do you think about Mo Salah?

He is unbelievable. wow

What was the most money you spent in a single day and what did you buy?

I spent on £200,000 on two weeks on renting a boat

What other sports do you enjoy watching?

I love the olympics and I like disabled sports

Favourite memory of Arsene Wenger?

I have so many personal ones... But The double of course

Is there a club (excluding the ones you played for) you wished you had played for in your career but didn't?

Yes, I could have played for Manchester United. I really regret not doing that now, I could've played with Giggs, Scholes etcetera. Some amazing players.

But I have a crush on Liverpool - especially right now. I love Klopp and would love to play under him.

Have you ever considered cutting off that sexy ponytail?

No, I'm a sexy motherfucker

Excluding France and England, what's your favourite country to travel to, and why?

I love Thailand

1. Who was the best dancer in the dressing room at Arsenal and Chelsea?
2. Which was the game you feared the most before going into?
3. Your favorite food before going into a game?
4. Arsenal or Chelsea?

Thank you for the memories.

1. Lee Dixon
2. No, I never felt fear going into a game. Never, not even the World Cup final.
3. Pasta with fish
4. Gooners

Which current player is the most similar to you in terms of playstyle?

I'm unique.

And as a supporting question, which current player is the most similar to you in terms of hairstyle?

Once again, I am unique.

What gave you the idea of getting a ponytail? Because your ponytail is cool and I love it :)

Because I have a big head. I can't have short hair, my head is too big.

Which of your goals would you say is your favourite, and were you upset when Harry claimed it?

No because Kane doesn't need help to score goals

What do you think of Tottenham?

I have a lot of sympathy for them. The club are trying to improve and they are the most important for the national team. I have a big respect for Pochettino.

It must be very frustrating, though, to never win any silverware.

(Yes, I know what you want me to say and I won't say it)

How has your week been? Hope all is well!

Busy, i need a nap

What stadium you have been playing on had the best atmosphere?

The best atmosphere are in Turkey or Greece

What do you think of what Klopp is doing with Liverpool right now?

He is incredible. I would love to have played under him

Do you enjoy any hobbies outside of sports?

I love antiques, and I used to collect them. Everything

did you prefer playing left back or in midfield?

Midfield

Do you have any tips for the longer-haired gentleman? For example, do you use a conditioner or just a shampoo?

Avoid treatments, hairbrushing. Hair is sensitive. Treat it with respect.

Do you believe France have what it takes to win the World Cup in Russia? If not, what is the major flaw in the team?

We have the potential, but it's still too soon I think. We can expect semi-finals, but there are a good few teams better than us. Because they have a soul in their team, we have no soul.

With Wenger retiring, what are some of his qualities that you wouldn’t see in other managers? How was he different.

Thanks for doing this btw.

Integrity and humanity

Beside your goal in the 1998 WC final, what is your most memorable goal?

Scoring at White Hart Lane

Who was your favourite Arsenal teammate?

Pat, but I have a good link with Lee Dixon

Oh my days! Petit!!

Could you please share an anecdote of some of the Arsenal days? No names have to be shared, I just love hearing stories of Bould, Adams, Parlour getting up to pints in Bremen and the lot.

And..

Obviously with the recent news, who are you suggesting or intrigued by as a new potential manager for Arsenal?

Thanks for everything Emmanuel!

When I first came to London for Arsenal, it was Christmas here. And we had a party with all of the players. We went into a fashionable nightclub, and we went for dinner and the night. As soon as I arrived, the English players were already drunk and doing a competition on who could take the most shots... So you can understand how difficult that was for me. I'm not a big boozer. I will let you guess who won.

I don't care who manages the club, I only care about what they are going to do after Arsene's footprint. Bring back the winning mentality, and keep the Arsenal brand.

Who was the best player you played with at Arsenal and what do you think their best quality was?

Also, who is your favourite player in the current squad?

In the current Arsenal team... I have no idea... Ozil when he actually wants to be a player

Messi or Ronaldo?

That is too hard. Ronaldo is the best example you can have, when you look at him, you know the meaning of the word work

Hi Emmanuel.

Who has been the best manager to work for? Including national and club football?

Wenger.

HI Emmanuel. what would you have pursued in life if not football?

Carpentry

why always number 17?

My lucky number, of course

What is your favourite shampoo?

I only wash once per week. That is how you have good hair - take it from me

Do you reckon you could beat the shit out of Roy Keane?

I don't know, I know that I am mentally strong and in my heart. But I don't like violence.

Hi Emmanuel, I once read that you won the jackpot on a fruit machine in Monaco and gave the winnings away to charity. Is this true?

It's bullshit

Who do you think is the nicest teammate you’ve ever had?

Gianfranco Zola for sure

What aspects of England shocked you the most when you first moved over? On and off the field?

The alcohol and booze culture really shocked me. It starts when you are a teenager.

Who do you thinks is the best player of all times?

Impossible

Hey Emmanuel, what do you think of Arsenal Fan TV?

What is that?

What's your biggest regret in your career?

Also, what conditioner do you use...?

I use shampoo and conditioner once per week, no treatments and I never go to the hairdresser

How much do you like Man Utd?

I have big respect, they're one of the biggest clubs in Europe. They're not just a football club.

Did they ever approach you with a move?

Yes.

Best English team of all time (not just PL)?

I'd probably say, of those I've seen regularly, the Man United 1999 treble season or Arsenal invincibles. But I really enjoy watching City now.

Who was your roommate at Arsenal?

I've always been single in my room.

What's your favorite food?

I love Italian, French and Asian food

What’s your favorite song?

I have got so many. I love every kind of music, reggae, rap, anything.

What's your favorite pastry?

Croissant, pain au chocolat, you know the ones

Have you ever been approached by fans from a younger generation, who's only point of reference to you as a player, is from the FIFA Video Games?

And side note: What do you think of your stats? Is there any particular attribute you think should be upgraded?

i really do not care about my FIFA stats

[deleted]

No, but a lot of players want me to pass my badges. I always give the same answer... I want to mange my kids first.
