Nicolas Anelka To Learn Fate Over 'Quenelle' Nicolas Anelka is expected to find out later whether the FA will charge him for making a gesture widely considered to be anti-Semitic. The striker performed the controversial gesture during a goal celebration in West Bromwich Albion's match against West Ham United on December 28. Anelka said the gesture was made in support of the French comedian who invented it, Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, who called it the quenelle. The FA is expected to publicise its decision on whether to ban Anelka later today. Under new rules introduced last May, Anelka will face a minimum five-match ban if the FA decides he is guilty of discrimination. Dieudonne is a controversial figure in France. He has been banned from performing in the country because his act is considered to be anti-Semitic. He claims the quenelle is an anti-establishment gesture, but it has been widely interpreted to be a disguised Nazi salute. French youths make the quenelle gesture earlier this month Fans have photographed themselves performing the quenelle outside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and at Holocaust memorials around the world. On Monday, Zoopla announced its decision to end a lucrative shirt deal with West Bromwich Albion following the controversy over Anelka's gesture. The football club said in a statement: "West Bromwich Albion has been fully aware since the sponsorship agreement came into force in June 2012 that its partnership with Zoopla could expire this summer and therefore has been planning accordingly.
