gutted that auxerre couldnt do us a favour and beat montpellier in a game which was delayed for half an hour because the home fans were rioting

I like Ligue 1 for the unpredictability. PSG might just screw that up so I'm pleased with the finish in France.

Re: The Official Football Thread

who would have thought three years ago (when french football was dominated by marseille, lyon, bordeaux) that we'd have a top three of montpellier, psg and lille

Liverpool are struggling to get high-profile managers to remain interested in the job.

How the "mighty" have fallen.

Lol how sad that Liverfool are looking to sign a manager who had an average season with Wigan of all clubs. Are they attempting to become a mid-table club now? Seems that ever since they've not been able to taste any Champions League or Europa League football their goals have been lowered with each season. Next thing you know and they might chuck a West Ham or Newcastle and get relegated.

Re: The Official Football Thread

yeah, i am struggling to understand why he is the main contender for the role, for someone who has not acheived much and has come from wigan athletic of all places

Hahaha so far Guardiola, Capello, Rodgers, De Boer, Klopp has turned them down. Pray they get martinez. At least they'll have experience when it comes to battling relegation that way

Do you have any decent youngsters on the fringe or in the Reserves?

Decent season review this by Sky Sports:

Re: The Official Football Thread

As a United fan I want Leighton Baines during this transfer window. He's such a classy player and since he's 27 he should be at his peak as a footballer. I'm sure Everton will let him go at a reasonable price

Great replacement for Evra at left back.

One of the few English players that play proper football.

Re: The Official Football Thread

Glad to see Cabaye and Ben Arfa make the final 23 for the French in Euro 2012.

We're being heavily linked with Debuchy who is also in the squad.

gourcuff who was probably france's number 1 player at the last world cup is no longer able to make the euro squad

Not too difficult to be a good performer in that particular squad. 2010 was a disaster for France.
