New Year predictions!!!

1. If they make a deep CL run it could be close, but they'll win either way.

2. Lens and Monaco, I'll say.

3. I think Strasbourg can. They just have terrible luck right now.

4. He'll be gone before the start of the second half. They underachieve way too much.

5. No. It's Marseille. Maybe UEFA.

6. Abromhavich will see Lyon thrash Chelsea in the final 8 of the CL and automatically swoop in and buy up the whole starting 11. Hey, I can dream!

7. They won't win. I see them losing in the finals to the US

 

1. They'll win by at least 8 points.

2. l'OM and Lens.

3. Probably not. Possibly Strasbourg. I hope with all my heart that Ajaccio go down.

4. He'll last the season, but that'll be all. Maybe Domenech to manage them after the WC.

5. Fire the bastard. They'll still qualify for the CL, but that guy needs to leave.

6. Fred --> Real. Unfortunately.

7. France bow out in the second round.

 

1. Yep. Its in the bag.

2. Lens and Merdsaille

3. Nope, they are all screwed.

4. Until Feb, when we lose in Coupe de France to Perpette La Galette. But he'll stay on at the coaching staff, because he's a great coach, but a not so good manager.

5. As soon as possible. I hope....

6. PSG to resign Ronaldinho and Heinze. What? A man can dream.

7. Germany. Just gotta be if Les Bleus want to win it.

 

I think its best for Ligue 1 if Ajaccio return from whence they came and up came Sedan to take their rightful place.

I would scream if Bastia came up oth, we just can't seem to get rid of these Corsican bastards...

 

LOL... The Corsicans are the blythe of L1 aren't they.... There terrible facilities, racsist chants.... Aweful.

I mean, take a look at Ajaccio's stadium?!? WTF. Looks like it has been bombed out. Looks like the Liberian National Stadium.

These guys belong in National....

Caen would be great to have back in L1 too.

 

Announcing that you want to sign what little money you have to sign Patrick Kluivert of all people makes him worse than all those before him.

 

1. Is Lyon destined to make history ?
-> No, because French prefer loosers. That's our romantic side. France 82 made history. France-Bulgaria 1994 made history. But a winning team ? How lame...

2. Who will qualify for the CL after raising above the current logjam?
-> Let's say Auxerre and Monaco.

3. Can any of the teams at the bottom as of Christmas drag themselves out of the relegation zone?
-> Strasbourg and Metz are hopeless, all others still have a chance.

4. How much time can Fournier still keep his job?
-> As long as he doesn't ask for a pay raise.

5. It's a time of peace at l'OM as Anigo declared. How long before it's just a forgotten memory?
-> A few hours at best. This is MARSEILLE, you know.

6. What's gonna be the most outrageous transfer made this year?
-> Zidane back in France (just a guess).

7. Germany is the obvious answer (provided we don't get crushed by Togo or South Korea beforehand).

 

1. Well when you become the first team to claim 5 titles in a row (and therefore erase Marseille and Sainté record) i think you make history...

2. Paris and Monaco

3. Really harsh... i don't think they have a chance of getting out of that drop zone.

4. No idea... perhaps 2 days, perhaps till the end of the season.

5. Till the end of the season.

6. Ribery to Chelsea

7. Nobody since we won't win the WC

 

1. No, they'll pull a Lens from 2001/2002. With a 12 point lead at the Christmas break Lens choked and gave OL the title. The roles reverse this year.

2. OL and Monaco

3. I agree with Courbis and Ajaccio to defy the odds.

4. Amazed he still has it. A defeat or two in January and he'll be out.

5. It's Christmas, the time of peace and good will. This is but a brief holiday season at L'OM, just a little break from the usual. The above comment about Fournier holds true here as well, a defeat or two and the peace will be broken.

6. The fire sale at Madrid at the end of the season.

7. If we can't win it, I'll take a long shot here and say Holland finally gets it done. Wouldn't they just love to win it all for the first time on German soil!

 

1. Is Lyon destined to make history (or will they pull a Monaco and choke such a big lead)?
They are.

2. Who will qualify for the CL after raising above the current logjam?
Lens and Monaco (hopefully)

3. Can any of the teams at the bottom as of Christmas drag themselves out of the relegation zone?
Hmm, I wish Strasbourg could stay in Ligue 1, but it'll be very hard for them, and like it's been said, Ajaccio should be in National (but all I care about is if I'll see Lorient playing there next year ...). Actually my answer to the question would be no ...

4. How much time can Fournier still keep his job?
Til the end of the season, but that's it.

5. It's a time of peace at l'OM as Anigo declared (http://www.football365.fr/infos_clu...0_-Latmosphere-est-totalement-pacifiee-.shtml). How long before it's just a forgotten memory?
Before Laurent Robert comes in

6. What's gonna be the most outrageous transfer made this year?
Drogba to Marseille ?

And most important (#7), which team will France beat in the World Cup to claim its second title?
Brazil (I would love that)

 

The kind of record you don't really want to be broken...
