http://bordeaux.theoffside.com News from Bordeaux France Ligue 1 footabll team Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:24:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en There have been reports that Blanc is the United's #1 in terms of replacing Sir Alex when he retires (which health permitting might be in a season or two). I can see why Blanc would be an excellent choice for United, and I know that if indeed Sir Ferguson does ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/bordeaux-team-news/laurent-blanc-the-next-sir-ale.html Oh they're so cute! I've decided that having Gourcuff, Carrasso and Diarra is enough to make me support France in the World Cup (especially considering Sweden's exit...) http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/bordeaux-team-news/233.html After the exciting win (again) at Bayern with both Gourcuff AND Chamakh scoring (<--love), I think it's time we take a good break and relax with some pretty calendar photos. Martha (once of the Nice blog) managed to dig up some lovely photos of the new calendar which I am ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/people/225.html This is another one of those posts where I can dig up ancient history, but since I was just a little kid then,  I won't. I know I've been gone for a long time from this blog and that's because of school commitments and midterms and all that stuff. But, midterms ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/match/champions-league/entertaining-bayern.html Or maybe more things, I guess. Just a quickie update before Rennes. -Gourcuff had to rush away from training after a thigh injury. He might not be available for Rennes as he was told not to exert for the next 48 hours. (The above image is from yesterday.) -Wenger has allegedly said ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/people/chamakh/two-things.html The image is not suggestive at all, only hopeful. I know I've been gone for a loooooong while but university (and frosh week) ate a chunk of my time, but now I think I'm back, albeit not for very long posts but still back. The group for Turin: C. Carrasso, Rame - ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/match/champions-league/old-lady.html I recently spotted an article titled Arsenal Target Marouane Chamakh Isn't Very Good, and guess what, besides their video proof, I have proof too. I agree wholeheartedly with him. Chamakh is a terrible player. Everything from his ridiculously ludicrous headers to his impossibly insane moments in the air. The man ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/bordeaux-team-news/chamakh-isnt-that-good.html I realize I have something like 5 mins to up this post before the game but here we go. Possible groups: Marseille: Mandanda - Bonnart, S. Diawara, Heinze, Taiwo - Abriel, Mbia, Be. Cheyrou - Kone, Brandao, Niang (cap.) Bordeaux Carrasso - Chalmé, Ciani, Planus, Trémoulinas - Diarra (captain) - Plasil, Gourcuff, Wendel - Chamakh ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/bordeaux-team-news/214.html Wait, let me dig up some ancient history and pretend that we are still as glamourous as we were then. Maybe this will happen again? After all this is a league winning squad as well. Maybe we're back to the good ole' days with Blanc. SO. Juventus, Bayern and Maccabi Haifa. What's ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/match/champions-league/say-what.html Some genius decided to tell Google Translate that Mickaël Ciani = Adam Clayton. Hmm, I wonder why. (You might have to fullview that seeing as I don't have Photoshop yet.) As you can see, I've been absent for the past few weeks, but hopefully I'm back (for a while before school ... http://bordeaux.theoffside.com/transfer-news/back-to-business.html
