to quote captain haddock in la crabe aux pinces d'or.... vengeance! vengeance! VENGEANCE! VENGEANCE! http://www.channel4.com/sport/french_football/dec16d.html i wonder if we'll get nielsen?
We will destroy Eindhoven. That team was demolished by transfers last summer. Lyon also have such a big lead in Ligue 1 that we can focus solely on the 2 legs.
Lyon will win easy, they will be fired up for revenge after last season. Juninho and Carew to score two a piece as they romp to a 4-0 win. The more interesting tie is surely a Chelsea v Barca rematch! Real v Arsenal is looking tasty too!
In summer, PSV sell players; Lyon buy players. We are an expanding club not a retaining club. SO we must win.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MATCH... WOW LYON IS GOING TO BE SO PUMPED... i bet the stadium is sold out in 3 hours max by the way, lyon lost 3-1 against lille today, REAL SURPRISED to see that...
it's not a bad thing to lose before the CL knock out stage. we can learn what our problem is and improve.
They have they have three players that stand out more than others (IMO they are Cocu, Farfan, and Alex) But they also have alot of other great players like Kone, and Lucius.
The man to watch out in this match is GUUS HIDDINK. I'm telling you this guy is an old fox... Without their current manager, PSV are just one of those crappy Dutch sides whose shrewd bargaining skill keeps them going. The sole reason why PSV still remain a good side despite of selling key players last summer is the presence of Hiddink. Rebuilding the demolished team with small budget and inexperienced squad... that's something special. Hopefully he will leave the PSV post soon to take care of Austraila's WC preparation.
based on the disguusting "tactics" we saw last year, hiddink should just do football in general a big favor and have a heart attack.
it's not the penalties part that griped me; it was the knocking us down every 30 seconds just to stop the rhythm of the game. but hey, if that bozo dane was going to let you do it, why not? it's a way to play that doesn't require any talent, so more power to you! en ik ben kwaad! hartstikke kwaad! dat was geen voetbal, jokie!
you're living in some kind of past jake! OL-lille sold out in hours! getting seats for any match at germand these days is tough!
PSV may have played more physical than OL in both games, but I also remember Essien was very lucky not to be sent off during the game in Eindhoven. He was knocking over Van Bommel about every 30 seconds. Talent alone doesn't win you any titles. You also need the right tactics and the right mentality. I'm sure you agree to that given that the mix of these have made OL dominate the french league in the past years.
