You know, I had my hands (fingers) crossed for an easy group, but don’t everyone?
Group A
Pld
Pts
CFR
0
0
Chelsea
0
0
Bordeaux
0
0
Roma
0

The only good thing about this group is the possibility that the ties might be on TV. Despite my negative reaction to the draw, Bordeaux actually has a pretty decent chance at getting through to knockouts (25-30%?)
Blanc’s reaction isn’t too [...]

Wendel in Trouble?

Cavenaghi, who is fantastic and not in trouble.
Not everything that came out of the well deserved 2-0 win against Nantes is great. Cavenaghi’s 2nd goal of the season is great, Fernando’s added strike is great too, but Wendel might be in trouble after fracturing Nante midfielder Djamel Abdoun’s fibula in a rough tackle. Well, what’s [...]

9th!!! 9th!!!!!!!! You’ll be seeing more of this chart.
After the unpleasant loss last week, Bordeaux are hoping to pull up their ranking to be closer to leaders Grenoble (shock? Not yet.) Les Girondins will be hosting promoted Nantes this Sunday. Bordeaux and Nantes were bitter rivals back in the day (um, ’80s? Correct me plz.) [...]

Bordeaux Fall to PSG

PSG 1 – 0 Bordeaux
52′ Hoarau
After a good home win in Caen last week, Bordeaux didn’t fare so well in their first away game in Paris. Even though Bordeaux was the better of the two teams, the scoreline holds and a loss is a loss. Having more shots on goal simply doesn’t mean a [...]

Well Deserved First Win
By: set | 8 Comments
Best way to start a season? Win in front of your supporters. I was at the stadium last Saturday to watch the game in a sold-out crowd. I’ve been there a few times these last few years and you could really feel the excitement people are having for the team. It seems that last season’s [...]
SM Caen – a preview?
By: Jennifer | 3 Comments
I know this isn’t much of a preview for the game again Caen tomorrow, but I’ll try my best. I just finished watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics and my eyes are a little tired. (It was extravagant though, props to my rich relatives who could afford to go there to watch).
Bordeaux – Caen [...]
El Chino to Bordeaux?
By: Jennifer | 14 Comments
Okay, some basic history: my family supports Inter, and Alvaro “El Chino” Recoba is (okay, was) one of my heroes. So when footmercato came out with this article, I jumped. So the article says that OM, PSG, Monaco and Bordeaux are all looking at him, and while Bordeaux definitely does not top that list financially, [...]
We Have A Trophy!

I know this picture does not say “OMG BORDEAUX BEAT LYON TO WIN TROPHY!!!”, but it is adorable and I love it.
For a little après match. My thoughts: definitely a great game. Lovely to see Bordeaux domination, and the form that Blanc have been working on for most of the summer. I think that not [...]
