I'm calling bullshit on this DEVO


Saudi Arabian NT and various clubs have thrown endless money at Zidane and the great man hasn't budged. He's turned down the sportswashers in Paris multiple times. I'd love to see him manage Marseille but if he were truly keen on that he's just do it and not wait for the Saudis.

Love to see him at Marseille as well, but I’m not holding my breathe.

Reims are looking good under Will Still again, big game against Monaco on the weekend.

1st v 3rd! BeIN are showing it so that's good.
Another good match-up is Rennes at home to PSG.

Are PSG in a crisis yet? Seems their move to exclude Mbappe in pre season because he wouldn't sign a new contract is backfiring so far.

 

[Zidane98]

Hahahaahahahaha





Reviewed on VAR by any chance

Atmosphere looks great at Toulouse. Can't wait for Liverpool to play them.

My late wife and daughter were born in Toulouse, so I have been to the city and the stadium a few times, it has been renovated since I was last there (2008), but the Stadium de Toulouse is nice little stadium. The club has been a little up and down over the last couple of decades, but the fans are fanatical which always makes for a great atmosphere. I'm pretty sure the grounds capacity was reduced after the renovations which is a little strange and now only holds around 33,000.

 

[Zidane98]

Bloody hell.

Mbappe & PSG should have parted ways in the summer.

PSG wanted 250m from Saudis but he wasn't having a bar of it. Should have just taken 80-90m from RM really.

Lyon continues to free fall. So sad seeing a once great French club struggling so badly.

DBAH0 Andy Carroll still got it in France....

Shocking scenes. Marseille will need to be hit hard over that.

What is with France lately... descending into mob violence at soccer games lately.

Unfortunately, I think we could see a points deduction, a forfeit of the Lyon game and 6 figure fine. Totally deserved, they were shocking scenes.

What's the story with the rivalry between Marseille / Lyon mate? I always thought it was nothing like the PSG-Marseille rivalry. Also, Lyon are atrocious this season.

I didn't think the "Olympico" was that intense either, I think this may relate to something outside the game. It could be political because there is a large Muslim population in both Cities.

Didn’t Marseille fans attack their own players a couple of years back? Something not right there

The French love a protest.

Depends where it happened. Liverpool didn't face any punishment against us a few years ago cause it happened on the way to the stadium, not inside.

Yes, seems to happen a lot

This guy has potential to be the next great modern day keeper.

I'd like to think Liverpool have him in mind to take over from Allison in 3-4 years time.
