Hopefully Lyon has learned that they don't have to kick asses in the group stage, what matter the most is what come after January....

Looking at their current shape in the championship, they aren't at their top at the moment. Need time to improve...

 

great work FK, can we use it for Barça forum ?

Lyon and Barça will be competitive and have to show why they are big teams in Europe

 

vi

 

i'm so happy we meet the barça. long time i was expecting that.

 

I have a feeling Lyon won't qualify from this group. Stuttgart to finish above them.

Stuttgart is a tough team and will give them lots of problems but Rangers have not looked good so they still have a chance at taking the UEFA Cup spot. p

 

1ere journée
Mercredi 19 septembre
Glasgow Rangers (ECO) - VFB Stuttgart (ALL)
FC Barcelone (ESP) - Lyon (FRA)

Wow better get ready asap for Lyon.

 

Nah Lyon will finish second about 2 points ahead of Stuttgart I think.

 

I posted this just now in the world football forum:

I have this feeling Lyon will exceed expectations and make a better fist of this competition than in the past; of course, the psychological side of things is important and maybe their players won't feel the beam of the spotlight so harshly, people don't rate this team so highly and less is expected of them.

Most importantly, mali has been banned from this sub-forum and cannot open her annual "Lyon will win the Champions League" thread. p

 

you have dared?

 

That's often how my mind works. Whatever the majority think, my feeling tends to drift in the opposite direction.

 

but jeff, i don't think i made this sort of title. more something like "could lyon win the champion's league".

well, as we were beaten twice by the psv in this competition and as i rated at this time lyon higher than psv. all is possible this season. maybe lyon will make it

Just posted this in the aforementioned forum:

She just expressed to me her doubts that she opened any thread worded quite like this, more along the lines of "can they?" not "we will." So, apologies mali, I add this so there can be no misconceptions and no smearing of her name, however slight.

I'll now copy and paste this back to her as she waits in the French football forum.

 

but...
if lyon beat barça there. you will make the pleasure to open a thread about how good lyon could be in champion's league. i ask you that as a favor

You're asking me to become your "ghost writer." This will be the first time I've ever been in trouble, soon I'll be banned.

Of course it's possible for Lyon to defeat Barça at Camp Nou, it would be sensational; alas I can't see it, a draw is the best you can realistically ask for.

In any case, not long to go now. Can't wait for it, the Champions League is my favourite competition. It's a bit troubling for me to say that, though, as UEFA is a highly troubling organization. Still, at the end of the day, it's a great spectacle.

 

yes, you risk to be banned.
jeff, if you asked me to hide the body of someone you killed, i would do it for you. so, you could be my ghost writer, in the name of our friendship.

Maybe you could give me the gist of what you want to say, and I'll present it less dramatically than you would?

I'm quite interested actually, something that I've never done. I'd be glad to be of assistance.

Or I could give you my password. I wonder if anyone would realise that it's not me? Seriously, nah, that wouldn't do. I think the consequences of that action would be harsh.

 

you can't ask to a frenchie to not fall down in the dramaturgy.
well, i will tell you my feelings how they would go out and then, with your anglo-saxon style, you will present my thoughts. ok?

Congratulations. I wonder how close that match is to being sold out; of course, such is the opposition, tickets will be in high demand.

This translator is useful. Now that I know my English is more understandable for you than that wonky French, I don't feel so self-conscious with my writing style. Of course, you're still able to respond to those translations, so...

 

my friend told me that it will be hard to get tickets. right now maybe only the high prices are available.
i will have only one ticket. hope my brother can get one too.

 

Really, I do edit far too often... :doh: ^

 

don't worry, english or french, it's cool, the most important is to well communicate

Indeed. I remember that you jumped with him in the stadium.
