Benzema to Real Madrid - Football season 09/10

[XIII]

So looks like we're going to have a real shitty season here in Lyon.
Juninho has left for Quatar and today it's been announced that Benzema is going to Real Madrid for €35 millions which I think is ridiculous. There isn't even another player included in the transaction even though we know that Real is selling ALL its Dutch players and that includes the likes of Huntelaar, Sneijder or Van der Vaart.

Fucking shit.

I believe Milan is in the race for Huntelaar and with Van Gaal at Bayern, better believe Sneijder or Van der Vaart will travel to Germany. You could get Robben, though? :D

[XIII]

Yes, we could get Robben. Everybody needs a player who breaks his knee every 3 months...

[MGM]

You'll get loads of penalty kicks from his diving!


Well, to be honest, he does dive less these days.

Ouch, tough group.
Will be trying very hard to get a ticket for the Liverpool game.

[MGM]

Yeah, but I think you'll manage it.

Feyenoord's in second place after today, we were first. 1-1 against Twente, which was a fair result. And we've got Makaay warming the bench.

[MGM]

Shit! Liege gets in the equalizer in injury time. AZ off to two matches against Arsenal with only 1 point.

[XIII]

Easy win for Lyon in Debrecen while Fiorentina beats Liverpool in the shocker game of yesterday. Meaning Lyon is ahead of everybody else.

[XIII]

WOOT WOOT WOOT

LYON WINS IN ANFIELD!!!! WITH A 20-YEAR-OLD DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER PLAYING CB FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

WHAT A FEELING!!! SECOND ROUND HERE WE COME!!!

WHERE IS CBKA WHEN YOU NEED HIM!!!!

[MGM]

AZ gets in the late equalizer in injury time against Arsenal, which was justified.


Liverpool looks like they're in trouble.

[MGM]

Well, Real - Milan was pretty awesome after the break. Due to the goalies, I have to add.

[MGM]

Begs the question, now that I see Chelsea playing, is little Kalou better than big Kalou ever was? I'd say yes, except that I wonder how big bro would've done if he'd had the opportunity to play in England as well.

[XIII]

Big bro really went to shite when he left Auxerre for Paris. Nowhere near the player he used to be. And he went downhill from there.

Woo, Bordeaux beats Bayern and are top of their group, ahead of Munich and Juventus!!!

[XIII]

So, we made it. Under shady circumstances, yeah but those things happen I guess. Still, it's a huge relief. Of course, lots of French are being arses, going all "I'm ashamed to be French". Well fuck off, they are probably the same people who will be yelling in the streets if France is good at the World Cup.
