Lmao, just read about Gattuso. I figured they were gonna give him a summer transfer window and preseason, but nope!!
I keep thinking they’re going to hit a wall and fall off… doesn’t seem like it. they won 1-0 this weekend and scored the winning goal when down a man.
Marseille are a shit show in general but he’s an awful manager. Lyon finally seem to be getting things together but that’s after being in the bottom 3 for the first half of the season.
Also, awful news in Ligue 2. Alberth Elis had to be placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a head injury in a game for Bordeaux yesterday.
LLens lost today but man are they fun to watch. Such a great mix of old and young players … Andy Diouf, David Costa, Joanner Chavez and of course Wahi.
Lens v Brest coming up today at 3pm. They're #6 and #2 in the table. If Lens win they can jump to #3 (ignoring tomorrows results).
Amazing goal by Irvin Cardona for Saint-Etienne in Ligue 2, especially since he already had tied the match a couple minutes earlier in stoppage time.
Crazy that they’ve climbed all the way to 7th, including being 3pts ahead of Marseille going into the final match day. Their January business did indeed turn out to be nice.
for sure. Benrahma was electric and Matic was a rock. their rise was mostly them, but the rest of the league is really in shambles. its kinda crazy that they're in 7th but have a -7 goal differential
Yeah they completely turned it around. And Marseille were a shit show all year long in the league sadly.
Woof. It really is a shit show. Hopefully they can figure out a way to get a deal done soon because this is just going to be bad for everybody in the league not run by a nation state.
De Zerbi to Marseille all but done. Never imagined we would be able to attract a top manager after the craziness of last season.
Ugh that would be terrible. Need clubs like Bordeaux and St Etienne to get it together. Also, Gerard Lopez seems to be involved in a lot of French clubs having dreadful financials. Maybe let’s not let him own another team.
It’s amazing how poorly run some of these clubs. And I’m sure Gerard Lopez will somehow end up owning another club soon enough.
I just saw this news. Is this something that has happened before. They were in Ligue 1 like 2 seasons ago.
I have a hat, shirt, and sweatpants for Girondins de Bordeaux that my wife got me on a work trip many years ago. RIP
Ligue 1 signed up again with BEIN until the 28 season. As much as I am annoyed that I have to try to find BEIN sports I am glad they are at least on tv in the US. Still don't have deals done in England and other parts of the Europe for the TV rights.
OM... I love you, but do not like that you have Greenwood. OM could be absolutely filthy this year and I'm pulling for you.
