Chalmé Loves Gourcuff Too..and other things

By: Jennifer | Comments 13 Comments

First, the result of our amazing luck? Galatasaray.
Galatasaray has got to be one of the harder teams in the UEFA Cup, and I’m not just over estimating them because they’e Turkish. I mean, they had the brains to sign Harry Kewell and Milan Baros, who both turned out to be fantastic players this season, away [...]

I’m Going to Eat Some Roman(isti) Babies

By: Jennifer | Comments 13 Comments

I am angry. Very very very angry. So if you’re having a really great day, please don’t read this. If you’re a Roma fan, again. Or if you’re a Blanc fan, please don’t.
Okay, I understand that this group is a very difficult group to do well in, and for Bordeaux to be so close in [...]

What To Expect in Rome

By: Jennifer | Comments 31 Comments

Expect Ramé, for he has returned. Jussiê as well!

Blanc knows that to expect too:
“I know what to expect in Rome. We must not imagine that Bordeaux will throw in the attack [...]

Bordeaux Will Fight For Qualification

By: Jennifer | Comments 3 Comments

Ahead of the do-or-die against Roma on Tuesday, Bordeaux’s L1 match against VAFC has been pushed forward to take place this Friday after appeals. (At this point Lyon starts to complain about them not getting this treatment…) Chamakh and Triaud are both happy about this decision, and I can really see how this will impact [...]

Ramé Will Not Start Against Chelsea

By: Jennifer | Comments 14 Comments

Ummmm, yeah, that basically sums it up.
“If we win it, it will be an achievement.” - Chamakh
Le groupe : Valverde, Olimpa – Chalmé, Diawara, Jurietti, Placente, Planus, Trémoulinas – Diarra, Fernando, Gourcuff, Wendel, Sertic, Traoré – Bellion, Cavenaghi, Chamakh, Gouffran, Obertan.
I was so excited about Ramé returning to training, but I guess he didn’t pass [...]

I thought we needed a “just for laughs” section here. *Giggles immaturely*
Just trying to console myself for what may not be a good match day against Cluj. If you don’t already know, Ramé was injured against the loss to Nancy and cannot play tomorrow.
Le groupe : Valverde, Olimpa, Meslien - Chalmé, Diawara, Henrique, Jurietti, Placente, [...]

Writing This In My Little Corner

By: Jennifer | Comments 7 Comments

This game obviously hurt my poor heart. I didn’t even know how I can sit through the second half (’cause that’s when I started watching) after watching just about 5 minutes of play. Really, what is that!? It felt like playing with non-existent defenders..no more like defenders who intentionally set the ball up for Chelsea.

Just [...]

The Big One: Bordeaux vs Chelsea

By: Jennifer | Comments 20 Comments

I thought I’d get started on this early while I still have time. I think I’ve been anticipating next week ever since the Champions League draw ( but also because The Office and CSI:Miami are coming back. That’s what she said.)

Just to recap yesterday’s game, it was a great game, an electric first half with [...]

Champions League Draw

You know, I had my hands (fingers) crossed for an easy group, but don’t everyone?

Group A

CFR

Chelsea

Bordeaux

Roma

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 [...]
