btfoom Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 LOL @ Manchester today. ManUre - the side who ESPN anointed group winner and 'dark horse' candidates to win the UCL - lose to PSV and look really bad in doing so. They had to resort to straight Route 1 football with Fellaini as the target for the last 25 minutes of the game. Yeah, they have any shot in Europe. ManCiteh was even funnier. All the talk about finishing top of group, semi-finalists to be (or even some have winning) lose at home to Juve, and were completely outclassed in that one as well. And just to rub it in, KDBs replacement in Wolfsburg, Julian Draxler, scores the winner for them. Can't wait to see that wanker little Stevie Nichol tonight on ESPNFC explain how these clubs 'just don't take this competition seriously, that's why the lose'. My arse.

FrFan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) La Rochelle sorry on Frisay. Bergerac tomorrow. Then Bordeaux. Then La Rochelle. Should be a very tidy little trip. Hail. I spent 12 years in La Rochelle the city of the 4 harbors. It's a couple of hours away from Bordeaux, I recommend you to hang around in the old harbor area. You'll find plenty of cork pulling places. One tipical local liquor I recommend you is Pineau des Charentes Rosé (the common one is white), it's a combo of Rosé wine and Cognac. Serve it before meal (apéritif) with ice cubes, be aware, since it's a combo of 2 liquors it can knock you off after a few shots. http://brooklynguyloveswine.blogspot.fr/2008/01/pineau-des-charentes.html Locals love to serve it to Parisians by summer time. It tastes very good, served with ice. They keep on filling their glasses with the refreshing drink, but when they try to get their asses off the chair they usually lose their balance and roll on the floor.

Man, I love my kids, but I am looking forward to when they are grown and my wife and I can start traveling. We are going to go all over Europe. I want to stay for a month at a time in various areas and just live there. Of course hitting England and taking in an Everton game. Ireland, Portugal, French countryside, Germany, etc. La Rochelle looks gorgeous. Edited September 16, 2015 by MisterPinstripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of folks on Bayern boards would be happy to see him go. I'm all for Klopp running a side that will need some new blood after this season. We will see.

Just thought I'd jump in to say I'm not gone, but nothing really to report outside of 6 games in, no wins and 3 points. That's good relegation form.

DC9 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 This is me. Not trying to bring sunshine in, but I though both Russian clubs played well. And like we talked about on twitter, the zonal marking is killing the Premier League in Europe on set-pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Adam Lallana should've done better with the first... but that was outstanding for the second chance in about 10 minutes. Nutmeg and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Well... a draw is what I thought was best case scenario. I guess when you put a 12 year old in to play defensive mid you're not conceding anything bad to happen at the end of the game... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Didn't think Bordeaux were anything special to be honest. Some sloppy defending on both sides created the best chances. Neither club was really doing anything to threaten. If Ings ever puts it all together he's going to be tremendous for LFC. I really like Jordan Rossiter. Noticably different in the midfield when he came off and the goal was scored by the player he was marking most of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, here's my legit questions to you and all Pool fans - what happened to all that money you spent the last 3 years (about 300 million Euro)? Is playing Bordeaux to a draw acceptable to you? Would finishing #6 in EPL be ok with you? You sold Suarez and other top players and seem to have only mid-level players to replace. Do you feel the same?
