Someone fill me in on what's going on in Ligue 1? PSG won I see, what the fuck is happening at Montpelier?!

RIOT, PEOPLE FIGHTING, SHOOTINGS. Oh wait, no just fans being angry that the club is relegated after 33 years so they threw shit on the field. Match is stopped @ 1-1. If Montpellier loses, PSG are the champions, if not, Montpellier can dance all night long.

Auxerre's supporters are going mad because the club is falling in Ligue 2 after 32 years in Ligue 1. Match is suspended until order is restored. Might be reported to tomorrow, might be cancelled altogether (Montpellier would then win by default).

Game is still paused for now.

you do realize baby blue is pretty much THE colour baby boys get dressed in, right

Even if he does sign for City this is about as far-fetched as it gets

The match was lost the instant Conte decided Del Piero and Borriello had to play. Juventus supporter's idiotic sentimentalism costed us a cup, goddamnit.

Real talk.

I'm no expert but as much as I love Del Piero, shouldn't you be playing your best 11 in a cup final?

Mum's birthday today so missed all the football. Welcome Ligue 1 GAF! Nice to see you here :)

Montpelier game sounds ridiculous. I'll hit it up on YouTube later. I'd want PSG to win if they weren't against such underdogs, love Ancelotti.

Commiserations Juve but the Scudetto is brilliant anyway. And congrats to Napoli, great team that hopefully doesn't get broken up too bad.

City fans so desperate to find hints in clothing now? How pathetic.

Damn, you guys are mean. I'm just reporting what I'm seeing, that he has a sky blue jacket.

I'm not the only one, here's a page of United fans with sad smilies after the color:

He's been saying he was gonna announce the team after FT. Obviously we won't know until he says it himself.

Ahhh it's at Auxerre. What a hilarious weird end to the season, PSG and Montpelier players must be both losing it right now hahahaha.

Don't tell that to me, I've been wanting Del Piero to retire since two years ago but people wouldn't listen.

Maybe now the fact we played without strikers for over 60 minutes during the finals will smack some sense into the other fans.

Borriello linked up badly with Del Piero, isolated. Storari is no Buffon either :/ I'd have liked to start with the best XI but alas.

We really missed Chiellini as expected.

Judging by his celebration, Lavezzi is leaving. Not sure about the others, but it's still possible.


Edit:In the end, it was a deserved loss!

he's probably going to tell people to go to his website with a countdown timer on it to when he makes his announcement.

According to Kicker Bayern is no longer interested in Giroud but Javi Martinez from Bilbao is a candidate for midfield.

Nothing really interesting in tomorrows Bild; some Robben bashing (Arjen Floppen - Thanfully he's playing for the Netherlands now) and they pick up the rumour that Heynces might leave (there are were sources that say he would've retired had they won and his current assistent manager Hermanns apparently wants to go back to Leverkusen as a scout).
 
YES, they should be trough now.

Martinez is a CB though :O
Why not sign Di Matteo? Can't be worse than Jupp.

I wouldn't mind if Newcastle still went for Yanga M'Biwa. Doubt it now though given that his stock has been rising considerably this season so big teams should be in for him.

I'm waiting for the stadium to explode in a chorus of YNWA from the tannoy as a liverbird flag unfurls from above to glide down elegantly onto Hazard's back.

Hazard just said that he still don't know. Canal + Commentators are saying that Chelsea's offer might chanced everything for him.

Hazard told the supporters "I still don't know where I'm going" but every commentator is calling bullshit on that since he supposedly told his teammates as soon as last week.

Javi Martínez is a DM, but Bielsa is using him as CB (I guess the other CBs are very shit). I wish we buy him, Tymo looks very shaky as DM. He's losing his quality already.

I don't know about Jupp, he doesn't have balls. He's just a coach-puppet the board wanted and well he failed to be the coach as he failed to be the coach in Real Madrid. The divas took over the room, and he's merely an spectator. Still, I don't see what other options we have for the coach spot, maybe Benítez?
