Ganu kicks off these new threads, so here's his thing :

*~~~~~*~~*~~~~~*

Bienvenue au Café de Saint-Germain! The one and only place for everything PSG!

Welcome back to a new year after a pretty mixed bag for PSG over the last 12 months. If you've never posted here before, don't worry, there is only one rule. You have to talk about PSG and Paris. Please feel free to post in French and English, I don't mind, it's all good - so long as I understand it.

So, please sit back and let the cool smell of Parisian coffee waft over you, as you just sit back and chillout at our very exclusive Parisian café. The sun is shining, the lights over Yvelines are bright, and the sweet sensation of springtime is trying to break free amongst the wonderful surroundings of the Boulogne forest...

"...If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." - Ernest Hemingway

PARIS EST MAGIK!!!

Here's latest news:

Former Paris Saint-Germain FC coach Luis Fernandez has signed a one-year contract to coach Qatar club Al-Rayyan. Fernandez, whose finest hour came when he guided PSG to their 1996 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup triumph, had not been involved in coaching since steering RCD Espanyol to Primera División safety 13 months ago.

Marseille fight PSG for playmaker
27 Jun 2005 00:00

Marseille have made a bid to hijack Paris Saint Germain's move for unsettled AC Milan midfielder Vikash Dhorasoo.

The former Lyon playmaker has just one year to run on his current San Siro contract and is widely expected to be sold this summer to prevent him moving on a Bosman free next year.

PSG registered a firm interest earlier this summer but Marseille are said to have tabled a £1.5m offer for the diminutive France international, as Milan consider their options.

Dhorasoo featured just 12 times last season

Man, PSG will try anything to win!




Actually, it's advanced cryotherapy. at the forefront of sports science...article here:

30 degrés à Paris, 140 de moins à Capbreton ! Voilà les Parisiens soumis à rude épreuve. Alors que ce dimanche après-midi était laissé libre par Laurent Fournier, Hakim Chalabi a proposé aux plus curieux - et téméraires aussi - une cryothérapie du corps entier à moins 110 degrés. Explication…

« Mais qu’est-ce que je fais là ? », Bernard Mendy n’en croit pas ses yeux. Planté au milieu du CERS (Centre Européen de Rééducation Sportive) de Capbreton, à deux pas de la mer, la cabine de cryothérapie intrigue. Une fois la porte franchie, vous comprenez enfin ce qui vous attend. « Attention, vous allez pénétrer dans une pièce à –110°. Bonnet, gants et chaussures obligatoires. Ne pas dépasser 4 minutes. »

Conçue pour soulager les blessures, la cryothérapie a des propriétés antalgiques et anti-inflammatoires inégalées. « C’est une première pour moi, explique Bernard Mendy. Passé le stade inévitable de l’appréhension, vous comprenez très vite les bénéfices de ces 2 minutes à -110 degrés. J’ai été comme envahi par une vague de froid, mais maintenant je me sens super bien. » Voilà donc, le latéral parisien conquis.

Autre aventurier, le jeune Boukary Drame. Pour son premier stage avec le groupe professionnel, l’international sénégalais profite de chaque nouvelle expérience. « C’est impressionnant ! Terrorisant au départ, mais bénéfique au final. Je me sens plus léger après deux petites minutes d’exposition. J’ai la forme », poursuit-il dans un immense éclat de rire.

Le docteur Alain Simon explique qu’il s’agit avant tout d’une initiation. « Même si les bénéfices ne se font ressentir qu’après plusieurs séances, nous souhaitions faire découvrir aux joueurs cette technique encore peu utilisée en France. Et même si aucune preuve scientifique ne démontre les bienfaits d’une exposition de quelques minutes à ces températures si basses, le froid permet incontestablement de récupérer plus vite. Et puis, c’est nettement plus agréable que le sceau à glaces ! », poursuit Alain Simon qui a lui même tenté l’expérience.

Jesus Christ. That looks insane...

I think that's the same technique that Cobos was using at Nice....

Hmm, if the club wanted to dish out money they could fly the team to train in the mountains of Tibet. The higher altitude would increase RBC count and increase stamina when they return to Paris.
