[Superfly]

Finished 14th last season. Spent €2m and won the league.

Up against moneybags PSG.

Auxerre , 2 seasons ago in the CL this year relegated by a country mile ... Villarreal II

Shame for Auxerre I used to watch them a lot in the early 00's with the likes of Mexes, Boumsong, Pedro Reyes, Fadiga, Faye, Kapo, Mathis, Tainio, Cisse and Guivarc'h. How you ask I recollect so easily their team from that era, because I used to be Auxerre a lot on champ man 01/02 and used to buy their players often as well

Shame for Auxerre that they are relegated. I see St. Etienne (I like St. Etienne) managed a respectable 7th position.

Carlo.....doing what he did at Juve and Milan. (not winning league titles)

But well French football - sacré bleu.

Auxerre relaged after 32 years in Ligue 1. Two season ago they played in the CL....

Montpelier (played in the Ligue 2 three seasons ago) won the league this Sunday. Fully deserved and an amazing achievement.

And right now a fat boss called Louis Nicollin (Montpellier's president - google him) has an even worse haircut than Neymar.

In other news Stade de Reims (7 time champion of France and two time CL-finalist) are back in Ligue 1 after many years of absence. It's the former club of legends such as Kopa and Fontaine. Reims is located in the Champagne region - surprise, surprise the birth place of champagne.

Moreover Bastia are back in Ligue 1 and Ajaccio managed to stay up so next season we can look forward to the Corsican derby.

Another "funny" fact: All Ligue 1 champions from the 1994-1995 season to the 2000-2011 season, apart from Bordeaux (1998-1999) will all play in Ligue 2 next season. Talk about a rollercoaster league.

Only in France.

Lyon won what 7 titles in a row, I expect PSG to win 10 in a row.

 

[Galning]

it's possible.

 

[Barcaman]

Anyone knows if Ibra and Thiago Silva will be playing tomorrow?

 

[Ode to Django]

Thiago Silva is definately back but i'm not sure Ibra is ready, i'll be watching as much as i don't like the way they've splashed money around i can't deny that there team is pretty damn awesome.

 

[Barcaman]

Thanx.

I like the odds on PSG but then again Bordeaux seems very solid. Defeated strong Rennes in the last round.

 

[Beast]

They've been suffering big time Bojan .. i wouldn't count out inconsistent results

 

[Ode to Django]

ended 0-0 terrible start in the league for Ibra & co.

 

[BarcaGirl]

What's wrong with PSG?? They just can't score. Did Ibra play tonight?

yes he played,i didnt see the matches but psg doesnt seem adapted with their new players even if its ibra or lavezzi or whoever they are shit

 

[Ode to Django]

yes it's not Ibra's fault though they were playing the wings

 

[BarcaGirl]

So that makes it now the 3rd draw in a row for PSG. You'd think with all their cash they would buy someone who could pass the ball to Ibra!
Well, I hope they pick up from now on ...I've always had a soft spot for Zlatan ...I want him to do well.
