There was a link on BBC Sport to l'equipe article on Amavi being chased by Palace and Napoli which lead to one on the curse of the Villa on French players and Remi Garde and presumably talked about Sanson (behind a paywall sadly)One person said I visited Birmingham when I was a student,it was awful.The reply from another Frenchman,you obviously didn't visit 'the jewel in the crown',Villa Park,the fans are fantastic.
I couldn't add my 4 cents worth as you had to subscribe but it was nice to read such a lovely comment.
