Toulouse F.C. ** SPOILERS **

[13obscur]

I want to present my favourite team: Toulouse Football Club. http://127.0.0.1/StatsL1/images/logo/tfc.gif
In 2001-2002, Toulouse played in National (third division) with only 3 professional players (Revault, Lièvre, and Prunier) and since 2003-2004, we are in Ligue 1.
This year, we're going to stay in Ligue 1 for the 4th years, and that's a little miracle for this team. :D

The most famous player is Daniel Moreira. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/photos/FootballImage2832.jpg
We have some internationals U-21: L.Aubey, D.Congré, and A.Ebondo.

[SilentToni]

Yea Toulouse is a pretty small club but i say they deserve to be in Ligue 1. They won the Ligue 2 championship in 2003 too.

But you mentionned Moreira but I'd say Bergougnoux should be mentionned too. He is really young but I'd say he's gonna get a whole lot better.

You heard it here first.

^^

^^
Bergougnoux must learn how to pass the ball before, and play for the team and not only for himself.


Toulouse will change the coach at the end of the season. Erick Mombaerts will be assistant general manager next season. :(
He's the man who accept to manage a cfa's team in National to Ligue 1. Thanks for all Mister Mombaerts.

[cavenaghi]

This year, we're going to stay in Ligue 1 for the 4th years, and that's a little miracle for this team. :D
What is not a miracle is the way Toulouse is playing this year. Man, I can't see another team playing so badly except Bordeaux or St Etienne (I'm talking about teams with ambitions at the beginning of the season). It's a shame cause they bought some gifted and offensive players.... but nothing. Maybe they will play football next year ;)

Some players didn't appreciate the coach, and they don't played as they can play. They didn't do what Mombaerts wanted.
During a training, I saw the coach explained how to defend to a player, but the player didn't listen him...

A rumor announce that the next coach could be Laurent Blanc. :eek:

Hey! Considering what they've already done in their career, they have the right to have a "big head" :D
You know, you can give names. They don't have time to surf on the internet, they are on PES all day long ;)

Hey! Considering what they've already done in their career, they have the right to have a "big head" :D

For this:

It's Bergougnoux.

For this:

I have no confirmed information. But Cardy had problems with the coach, Bergougnoux said that tacticals choices were not good.
Some players like Emana, and Ebondo, "choose" their matches. They made great matches against Lyon, Marseille, or PSG, but against (for exemple) Strasbourg, Nice, or Ajaccio, they were bad. In fact, some players are good if the match is on Canal+...:rolleyes:

[13obscur]

Hi all!
A little summary of the transfers in my favourite team:
Out: Cardy (Metz, L2), Giresse (Amiens, L2), Bedimo (Le Havre, L2), Lièvre (stop his carrier, he will be integrated to the staff), Moreira (Rennes, L1).
Out (rumour): Psaume (Nimes, National), Emana (Portsmouth, Premier League).

In: Elmander (Brondby), Fabinho (Santos).
In (rumour): Barthez.
Three young players of the second team became professionnal: Camara, Pentecote, and Robic.
Toulouse change the coach. Erick Mombaerts will make a study on the formation. The new coach is Elie Baup.

We will play in 4-4-2. Bergougnoux seems to have a better spirit. Mansaré scored 7 goals in 5 friendly matchs. Emana played great games.
Francileudo Santos is injured, we don't know when he will come back.

:D

[Butterfly]

Definitely, Moreira is one of the most talented player of the TFC!
He usually scores against OM :mad:
We have a friendly match today at 19h! Good luck ;)

[13obscur]

Definitely, Moreira is one of the most talented player of the TFC!
He speak too much... Every month, we can read that he want to play in Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Paris,...
Now, he's in Rennes, and I think it's better for the team.

He usually scores against OM :mad:
And against Paris. ;)

We have a friendly match today at 19h! Good luck ;)
And you win. :o

[indomitable_lion]

Thanks for starting this thread. I have some relatives that live in Toulouse but I don't know anything about this club. Probably because they were down there in L3. Hopefully now I'll have more to talk about with them than the HOT weather :eek:

Is Toulouse fun to watch, like PSG in form? I just saw the 1st half of PSG vs. Bordeaux where Pauletta scored the hat-trick. I'm going to be watching a lot of PSG and Lyon this year. Can anyone convince me to add Toulouse to that list?

[indomitable_lion]

Toulouse start the season with a 2-0 loss to Bordeaux. This looks pretty bad, considering next week they travel to Lyon. Yikes! Is it too soon to suspect relegation?

[Butterfly]

This is crazy!
The first two matches of the season are away against Bordeaux (2nd last year) and Lyon (Champion) :eek:
Just hope you can make a draw at Lyon...

[Bruun]

Being relegated to National (3rd division) was the best thing that could appened to us. It was a new rebirth with young players (from cfa team, the 4th division) and 4 old players (Bancarel, Lièvre, Prunier and Revault). Four players became international U-20 (Taider, Congré, Aubey and Ebondo).

Well, some games are very fun to watch, but not all. During the 3 past seasons, the best matchs was against teams like PSG, OM, OL. This year, the first half time against Nice was very good (I can't see the other match).
And if you likes Cameroon, Achille Emana is playing very very well this year. :D

[Weeela]

I hope Elmander will develop a lot in Toulouse.. I think he has been pretty good so far. A little more time and he'll be scoring goals as he did in Bröndby :).

And Toulouse won yesterday! Placing them fourth in the league.. not bad, not bad!

EDIT: OOh, didn't know it was you who had done the video Bruun.. must say, very nice :)!

[13obscur]

Well, Elmander is an impressive player. The Stadium love him! He plays for the team, and not for himself. I'm very happy to see a player like him.
That true that he didn't score yet, but he made 4 assists (the last was this saturday, on the first gol).

Pictures from the last match:

True, Elmander is a really interesting player! Let's hope he can't score some goals and then Toulouse will definitely make a really good season!

[Weeela]

Glad to hear he is being well received!

Thanks for the pics obscur.. anyone know if there's any video highlights from saturday's match?

[13obscur]

Elmander scored his first goal in France (well, not exactlly because it was in Monaco :p ). :)

Woho, read that he had scored his first goal! Thanks for the video, much appreciated!

[nimme]

I remember Elmander saying after 1 or 2 matches with Toulouse that he enjoys playing in a club where the team has to fight 90 minute every game to get at least 1 point with them. He said some matches in Bröndby they could play at half capacity and still win comfortable.. That is one of the reasons I like Elmander, he is a real teamplayer!

Clubs in the french league (except Lyon, of course) don't play a very good football but have, more or less, the same level. That's why you can win or lose against almost any team. But most of the time you get a pathetic 0-0 :cool:

Btw, Elmander is out for two weeks. Small injury.

[Weeela]

So I heard, too bad :(.

To lose or not to lose.. that is ithe question.. :D

ok... i'll get me coat :o

Hahaha, that one is quite nice actually :D. Please continue :P!

[Bruun]

3-1 over Sedan

Elmander scored two :cool: Man... the second one sounds brilliant. Would love to see it.

[cavenaghi]

Many commentators say that Elmander was the man of the day in the league tonight. If he keeps this level of play, I doubt he will stay more than one season in Toulouse. Although, if they play in the UCL next year... :rolleyes:

[13obscur]

Elmander missed two matchs, and TFC loose two matchs. :eek:
3-1 over Sedan

Yes, the second was impressive. Defender hit him to his face, and he didn't fall to get a pebalty.
I upload 3 little videos on my ftp:
First goal (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/elmander-1.avi).
Second goal (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/elmander-2.avi).
Some stats (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/elmander-3.avi) (at the end pf this video, Elie Baup, the coach, said he will make Elmander a real Toulousain, by eating a cassoulet :D )

If he keeps this level of play, I doubt he will stay more than one season in Toulouse.
It is what I fear. :(
I hope he'll stay in Toulouse 2 or 3 years, and after leaving us for a big team. And I'm surethat if he'll stay here, he'll enter the TFC's Legend, like Beto Marcico.

[Bruun]

he'll enter the TFC's Legend, like Beto Marcico.

Who? :p

Thanks for the goals. Will do a little remix and upload them to YouTube :cool:

v/Beetyt7CLi8

[Weeela]

Awesome! Thanks for the videos guys.. beautiful goals, both of them. If he continues like this, Elmander will be one of the top scorers in Europe not in a too distant future.. veery nice!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to 13obscur again.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BruunLovesFootball again.

Lol? Yeah right, wtf?!

[13obscur]

Auxerre win 1-0 against Toulouse last week. The second bad news is Elmander's injury. :( He'll miss today's match.
Tonight, TFC receive Rennes. Toulouse fan's will make a triumph with its former captain Monsieur Christophe Revault.

The team will be: Douchez - Ebondo, Arribagé, Dao, Aubey - Dieuze, Emana - Bergougnoux, Batlles, Mansaré - Santos.

[Weeela]

Too bad that you lost against Auxerre and that Elmander is out.. I don't think it was a bad injury this time though? I think he will be back in the next game..

I watched the Auxerre game, but I came on after Elmander had gone out, so I was a bit confused when he wasn't on.. as one of the commentators said: "Just when you expect the big, ugly Swedish centre forward to come up.. he's not on the pitch, is he?" :D lol.

About the game, I think Toulouse gave away to many easy balls all over the pitch.. they tried to do something, but then someone made an unforced mistake and they lost possession.. didn't get any flow in the offence because of that. Not good :(.

How did it go against Rennes? Appreciate that you are updating on Toulouse's games!

[13obscur]

Too bad that you lost against Auxerre and that Elmander is out.. I don't think it was a bad injury this time though? I think he will be back in the next game..
I don't found any news about Elmander's injury...:( Next match is against Paris, at the Parc des Princes, and I hope he 'll play because we need him.
Two before the match against Auxerre, I read that Elmander was injury, and he won't play this match. However, Elie Baup take him, and Elmander was on the green ground. For only 28 minutes. :rolleyes:


Last saturday, we received Rennes. Christophe Revault was applauded for all he give to Toulouse. And Moreira was whistled for all he didn't give to Toulouse. :D
The match wasn't interesting. The absence of Elmander was prejudicial in offensive animation: Santos was a ghost, Bergougnoux and Batlles had not inspiration,... Only Fodé Mansaré have done a very good match.
During the second half, Pentecote enters and he offers solutions to the team.
Two penalties were whistled for Toulouse: Bergougnoux scored the first. Mansaré want the second, but Bergougnoux didn't let him, and Bergougnoux missed... :rolleyes:
So, TFC win 1-0 and stay at the 9th position, but at only 2 points of the second Lille.

:( too bad.. hopefully it was just temporary. And on the bright side; Toulouse won when all these players didn't play any good!

What position does he play?
Two penalties were whistled for Toulouse: Bergougnoux scored the first. Mansaré want the second, but Bergougnoux didn't let him, and Bergougnoux missed... :rolleyes:

So, TFC win 1-0 and stay at the 9th position, but at only 2 points of the second Lille.
Wow, that is a tight league from 9th to 2nd place! Hope Toulouse can win the next, to get further up in the table!

Thanks for the pics and the video as well! Great update.. hope Elmander will be back to next game, and that Toulouse will win! I'll try to watch it if it's on somewhere..

[13obscur]

He's a striker.

hope Elmander will be back to next game, and that Toulouse will win! I'll try to watch it if it's on somewhere..
Elmander back to training yesterday. Baup said that he hope Elmander will be ok for next Sunday. But he's not sure, and he said that Elmander will play the match against Lens, the next week.

Due to security problems, the match PSG-TFC is postponed.

Indeed... :(
I wanted to cap that game but it will wait...

[cavenaghi]

I wanted to cap that game but it will wait...
If you were thinking about capping it from the TLT channel, I advise you not to do so. They have the worst image quality I've ever seen from a TV channel. It looks like an old video tape recorded in the 80's and having been watched like a thousand times already. I'm serious, it's barely watchable!
Watch games on this channel (like I do from time to time) but don't spread material with such a bad quality unless they improve it. Check it first if you haven't already, you'll see what I mean.

[13obscur]

Today, at 5pm (on Canal+), Toulouse receive the 2nd: Lens.
It's the best team that we will play at home this season. It will be very difficult to defeat them because we will play without our 2 midfields Dieuze and Emana.

J.Mathieu and J.Elmander will play. :)

[Bruun]

Wow... what are your expectations? Will you cope with the loss of two important players? Do you think you have a chance or are Lens just too good?

Looking forward to a summary of the match in this thread :) And perhaps some video of the three goals Elmander will score ;)

Hehe... or just a report :)

Good luck!

[13obscur]

Wow... what are your expectations? Will you cope with the loss of two important players? Do you think you have a chance or are Lyon just too good?
It' Lens, not Lyon. ;)
We always have a chance, if not, we don't play the match. :D
We have 3 or 4 players to replace Dieuze and Emana: Taider, Sirieix, Fabinho and Mathieu. But, this season (and since last year), we never played without this two men. So, the two players who will play today, didn't practice enought to do as well as Dieuze-Emana. And the fact that "affraid" me, it's that this happen against one of the 2 or 3 best team in France.
Lens didn't lose since 8 matchs, I think that a good series but, I hope it will ended today. :) I think also that a draw won't be a bad result.

Today, the temperature is cold, Elmander will play a big match. :D

[13obscur]

Lens wins 1-0, goal scored at 91°. :(
Maybe they were better than us, maybe not. I can't explain because Lens played with a bad spirit: they simulated, they played falling to obtain faults. It's not football, it's not my football. I am disappointed, and sad for my team.

Well, we don't made a great match, but we should get the draw. Elmander was too alone to do better. Bergougnoux, like past year, play for himself and not for the team. Sirieix and Fabinho were not as brilliant as Dieuze and Emana.

@Bruun: I will try to found some picture of Elmander. ;)

[Weeela]

I just watched the match, and I must say I didn't think Lens was second in the league.. The teams played at equal level all the match, so I thought they were around Toulouse's spot in the table.

About the match, I think MAYBE Lens deserved the win in the long run.. but when they scored the goal it didn't feel fair.. but they did hit the woodwork twice, and early in second half I think they earned a penalty, but the referee didn't.

Would not have felt unfair if Toulouse had got a goal in the end of the match though.. very unlucky that Lens got that one in :(.

[13obscur]

We lost again last week end at Le Mans.:(
Today, we receive Nantes, 19th team of Ligue 1 with 14 points. Some players can't play due to injuries: Christian Wilhelmsson, Eric Cubilier, Franck Signorino and Guillaume Norbert. Barthez is not yet ready to play.
At Toulouse, only Aubey can't play. We must win this match to have very good Xmas. :D

[Weeela]

I saw somewhere that you lost against Nantes.. too bad :(. Hope things will be better after the Christmas break!

[13obscur]

Yes, we lost, and very sad and angry against players.
Nantes is not a good team, we were better than them during 1 hour. After, Nantes scored a beautiful goal on a free kick. And since this goal, we couldn't do anything, mentally, we were KO. Only one player continues to do something, but playing alone against 11 it's not easy (we create the 0-0-1 system :D ). It's not a surprise, this player was Elmander. He was the only player to received applause of the Stadium.

Now, the mercato will start, and we wait for a right winger (Fabinho, and Bergougnoux aren't real wingers) and a striker (we'll try to sell Santos).

Next match is the 6, in Coupe de France, and we'll play at Châtellerault (3rd division).

I get two videos from the TFC official website (www.tfc.info). A little gift for Bruun and Weeela for being interesting in TFC results thanks to Elmander. ;)
The first video (4.09Mo, 1'56) is an interview of Elmander when he arrived at Toulouse: http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/elmander_1.wmv

The second (10.05Mo, 9'15) is an other interview of Elmander several month after he come here: http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/elmander_2.wmv

Both videos are in english, subtituled in french. :D

Jean-Louis Akpa-Akpro is loan to Brest for 6 next month.

We still search a striker, Luigi Pieroni may be this one.

[13obscur]

Coupe de France. Toulouse used to be eliminated by teams from 3rd, 4th,... division. Tonight, we played at Chatellerault, a National (3rd division) team.
And the qualification is for TFC. :D
Batlles scored after 20 minutes. At 74', Chatellerault scored. 1-1 at the end of the match, no goals after extra time.
Penalty kick decide the winner. Elmander missed the first, then Fabinho, Bergougnoux, Ebondo and Emana scored. Douchez and the cross-bar stop two Chatelleraul's penalty kick. 3-4, Toulouse is qualified.

[13obscur]

Next match in Coupe de France: Monaco - TFC. Not easy...

Tonight, Toulouse start the year with the best french team: Lyon.
Even if Coupet won't play, it will be difficult to get a good result. First, Lyon remember the draw that we get in august. And we have some problems in defense with the injuries of Lucien Aubey, Jeremy Mathieu, and Mohamed Fofana. Ebondo and Arribagé are Ok, Dao too (but he have play only 4 match this season after a long injury). I don't know who will play left back: Walid Cherfa (19 years old, 0 match in Ligue 1) or Alsény Camara (19 years old, 0 match in Ligue 1).

Last 3 years, Lyon win at Toulouse (0-1, 0-2, 0-1), but each match was a great Toulouse performance against the french champion. I'm sure that we will play good match, I sure that we will scored, I sure that David will defeat Goliath. :D


French newspaper, L'Equipe, announce new transfer for next season: Paulo Cesar (PSG) sign for 3 years since next July.

[jorquera]

What do you think about Mathieu linked with Roma? There have been many rumors about it but nothing has happened thus far.

[13obscur]

What do you think about Mathieu linked with Roma? There have been many rumors about it but nothing has happened thus far.
It's a good player, but he's young. I think that he should stay 1 or 2 years more in France before playing for a european team. I think he will be a very good player. He plays left back, he can attack. I like him.

And now, the spoiler of the night:

I'm sure that we will play good match, I sure that we will scored, I sure that David will defeat Goliath. :D
We do it, putain, we win, 2-0, against Lyon.
Elmander made an assists. I don't know if you see the assist he made at Gerland, but he made the same pass, for Emana. And then, Elmander scored an incredible goal: he shoot a free kick, on the wall, get back the ball, run in front of the penalty area, enter into it, shoot and scored.
Mansaré was really magic.
In defense, Arribagé didn't play (he's ill), so the midfield Dieuze played in defense with Ebondo, Dao and Cherfa. All the team made a great great match.
I'm very happy.:)

[DanneS]

SHIT.... Toulouse vs Lyon et vous avez gagné!!!
You won vs Lyon with the help of Johan Elmander.

He will be a new star of european football if this trend continues. :cool::)

[Butterfly]

Congratulations!!! Enjoy the moment cause Lyon won't lose everyday!

I'll cap the game in 15 hours ;)

Edit : Between OLTV and TLT, I think I'll be able to cap the game earlier than in 15 hours.

[Bruun]

Wohoo! Just woke up and saw it on tele-text :eek:

I didn't expect Lyon toulouse (;)), so a really pleasant surprise.

And a Elmander goal... mon dieu :cool: Can't wait to see it :)

Butterfly, DanneS and 13obscur... tonight we party :cool:

tribalfooball.com - January 14, 2007

The agent of Toulouse midfielder Jeremy Mathieu admits he's close to sealing a move to Roma.

Federico Pastorello revealed yesterday: "In the past months we have worked a lot with (Roma director general) Daniele Prade on the topic of Mathieu.

"The only problem I see is that Roma had hoped to sign him as a relative unknown. But now many people are aware of him and that means his price is going up."

Pastorello says Roma will have spend over £3.5 million to land the young Frenchman.

Would you let him leave in winter or do you want him to stay?
How much did you oay for him, was it 5 million?
I prefer he stay one season more in Toulouse.
We paid 4 millions € for him.

[nimme]

Great for Elmander, shows he learned something in ÖIS ;)

[sirmax858]

great win guys, you really earned it.

I hope I don't see lyon win the league again after this year.

Poor Govou:

:D

[indomitable_lion]

I just watched the game and I was really impressed with Toulouse. I've only seen them play Marseille and they were well beaten that day.

I was particularly impressed with the quality of the football. Maybe it was just the white socks that made Toulouse look cool ;)

I thought Mansare was the only top class player at Toulouse but Ellmander really impressed me today.

[Weeela]

Got to get the Lyon game! Veery nice.. seems like Toulouse got something on Lyon! Go Elmander :D!

EDIT: The Lyon Toulouse game torrent was gone :(:(. Bummer.

But I read Elmander scored another goal today! Yay, 1-0 win for Toulouse vs. Nice!

[Bruun]

Weela... I have the Toulouse - Lyon game. I can up it for you, if you want.

A Nice win yesterday... and some Swede scoring again ;)

http://s.tfc.info/tfc/image/article/une/7/1381.jpg

A penalty stopped by Benvegnu and a new goal of Elmander offer to the TFC a beautiful victory outside. Three deserved points conquered thanks to an enormous combativeness of all the team…

a raid carried out by Emana on the left-hand side will make fly. Left the medium of ground, Cameronian serves Elmander of the outside of the right, in front of the goals. An offering tasted as it should be by Swedish for the opening of the score and its fifth drank this season


So.... 13obscur! Hook us up with the goal please :cool: ;) :) :p :D

[13obscur]

Well, during last 7 days, Toulouse was on the road: we get one point at Paris (0-0), we lose in Monaco (2-0, Coupe de France), and we win at Nice (0-1).

The defeat against Monaco was not really dramatic. Our goalkeeper, Douchez was excluded for a foul out of the penalty area. If the red card is severe, the FFF decide to punish Douchez with two matches !!! :mad: Fucking federation...:mad:
The video of the foul (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/NdRedCard.avi).
So, Benoît Benvegnu enter for his first match with the first team. Only 20s after, Meriem scored on the free kick.
Defender Momo Fofana injured, and so, Daniel Congré played his first match after one year without playing (due to injuries). :)

Three days later, at Nice, Benvegnu played his first match in Ligue 1, and was the man of the match. Emana did a bad pass to Congré who must tackle Koné: penalty kick for Nice after only 3 minutes. Laslandes, 35 years old, one of the most scorer in activity in french Ligue 1, shoot, and Benvegnu stopped the ball. 20 minutes after, Emana offers a good passs to Elmander who scored his 5th goal in France and give the 3 points to the TFC. Last victory in Nice was in 1987, 20 years. Ouf!:D

I downloaded some video of Nice-TFC:
-Penalty kick (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/BenvegnuNice.avi).
-Swedish goal (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/ElmanderNice.avi). :D
-Elmander and Emana (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/ElmanderEmanaNice.avi).

[Weeela]

Weela... I have the Toulouse - Lyon game. I can up it for you, if you want.

Oohoo, Bruun, that would be AWESOME!

Thanks a lot for the videos obscur, what would we do without you :cool: :)!

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to 13obscur again."

EDIT: Holy fuck, that third video.. what a goal it would've been!

[13obscur]

Well, so we lost last match at Nancy 2-1. Elmander didn't play (he was injury).
Tomorrow, the match won't be easy to play against a good team: Lille. Pavel Fort, and Achille Emana are suspended.

[13obscur]

Victory is back to the Stadium. :cool:
We defeat Lille 1-0, goal scored at 92' by Bergougnoux with a new assists of Elmander.
The defeat is unfair for Lille because they do a great match. But, well, it' football. Lille is the best team I could see in Toulouse this season, hope they'll do interesting things in Champions.

After Lyon, Lille lose in Toulouse. The next match in Toulouse (into 15 days) is against Marseille. Hope the good serie against big teams continues. ;)

[Weeela]

Woho, great to hear some updates :)! What's your position in the table now? Think there's any chance you will get higher up?

And the video of the goal (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/TFCLOSC_Bergou.avi). :)

[13obscur]

And another victory, at Lorient, 1-0. Paulo Cesar scored on a penalty kick. Elmander obtain the penalty, but, I think that the referee was wrong. But, well, sometimes the referee was against us, this saturday, he was with us.:rolleyes:

Next saturday, at 17pm, Marseille will visit the Stadium. Toulouse, 6th, Marseille, 5th, this will be THE game of the next week.
Marseille win the first match, so logiclly, we'll win the second. :D ;)

[DanneS]

El-man-der El-man-der Woohoo!!!

Toulouse gagne presque tous les matches. Toulouse will win of course.

[il2]

how is PC playing so far?

[13obscur]

how is PC playing so far?
He see where the game is, he can done good passes. He's a good player for us.

I went to the Stadium this morning to see the last training before the match. Except Aubey and Cherfa, every player are ready: Elmander and Fort aren't yet injuried.

[Butterfly]

An interesting game tomorrow between our teams!
Marseille got only 2 points in the last 4 games... so I'll hope to see warriors on the pitch and a good game.
May the best win! ;)

p.s: I should cap it

You have only 2 or 3 dangerous opportunities. Marseille played only with Nasri (he done a good match, I like this player) and Ribery (he wasn't in a good day), and they can't do everything.

Well, if you wants the goals, there are here: :D
Elmander, number 1 (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/ElmanderOM_1.avi).
Elmander, number 2 (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/ElmanderOM_2.avi).
And Achille Emana (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/EmanaOM.avi).

Toulouse wasn't affraid to play another match against one of the best french team with great players like Cissé, Ribery,...(victories against Lyon and Lille make us entrusting).

[Butterfly]

Marseille played only with Nasri (he done a good match, I like this player) and Ribery (he wasn't in a good day), and they can't do everything.

Always the same story actually...
Nasri is getting better and better! I can't imagine what he'll do in the future with Ben Arfa or Mathieu in the NT of France... They all are pure gold!
About Ribéry, I don't know if I should tell what I think of him cause it won't be nice... The only thing I can tell you is that the right and only place for him should be on the bench until the end of the season when I'll leave Marseille for Arsenal... :mad:
Finally, about Toulouse, it breaks my heart to say it but you deserve more than us to qualify for UCL next year...! :(
May the force be with you! ;)

p.s : j'vais poster l'action hallucinante où trois toulousains enchaînent trois petits ponts d'affilés(!) dont le dernier est effectué par Elmander en talonade(!) mais la balle passe à 50 centimètres des buts marseillais! :eek:

Look at this my friends! (http://www.sendspace.com/file/v8jibj) This is world class football! Three balls between the legs!!! If it was on the net it would have been crazy!

[zeratul]

congratulations to Toulouse FC ! they're doing a very good 2nd part of the season. I think they are the best team in the "matches retour" (sorry don't know the English expression for that). and what a fantastic player is Elmander ! His 2nd goal against Marseille yesterday is really nice. but I'm not sure he'll stay very long in Toulouse.

[varun]

so who is this Elamander :o

[DanneS]

so who is this Elamander :o
The New Henrik Larsson of swedish football! :)

He's one of our best new players in many years.

Before he went to Toulouse he was playing in Bruun's Bröndby.
They still love him there and now there's talk of him going to an even bigger club soon.

Maybe Barcelona? :D

Hmm, i think i remember him now.......played with Brondby on fiFA, yup he did well :cool:

I'd love to see him at united simply because you and Bruun hate manu so much the reaction will be worth it :p :D

[nimme]

Of course he is great, he has played for Örgryte. :D

[leoni11]

Ask the spanish national team defenders... they should know after our last Euro Qual game :p

What's shaking and baking in Toulouse?

Did Elmander get a red card against Valencienes or something? Someone commented on YouTube, but haven't looked into it.

1-0 up at home against Monaco right now...

Yes, he got a red card (the first of his career) at Valenciennes (0-0).

1-0 up at home against Monaco right now...
Monaco scored by Koller. At the end, Dieuze scored a second goal for Toulouse, but referee refused the goal due to a foul...:confused:
Well, we got the 5th matchs without defeat, with 43 points, we stay at the 4th place and we're sure to play in Ligue 1 next season (for the 5th season!!!).
Two next matches will be some dificult: we go to Sochaux (next week) and we receive Saint-Etienne (in 3 weeks).

We'll play a friendly match in 2 week against an algerian team: MC Oran.

[Weeela]

Aren't you going for Champion's League? What palce is required to qualify? 4th isn't it?

[13obscur]

The 3 first places are for Champions League.
The 4th is for UEFA Cup.
The 5th is for Intertoto Cup.

[Bruun]

4-2 defeat to Sochaux. Always bad to lose, but extremely bad to lose these "6-points" games.

Now Sochaux and Toulouse have 43 points, but Sochaux have a better goal difference :( Only by one goal, though. Lol... it's a close race. Toulouse would have been in third place, if they'd won. Now they are i 6th place.

http://www.bolddk.com/statistik/tabel.php?liga=15

Now they have a friendly, but when is the next game? First of april against St. Etienne?

I'm not surprised by this defeat. Every year, matches against Sochaux are very hard for Toulouse.
This season stay one of the best season we made in Ligue 1 since several years. Two years ago, we were 6th after 30 matchs (29 matches were played this season) and we lost the last 8 match (a "record" :cool: ). So we know that the 6th place now have no signification, we still work, and I prefer not imagine european cups next year.
The real bad news of this match, it's not the defeat, but Elmander's injury... :(

Now they have a friendly, but when is the next game? First of april against St. Etienne?
Yes, sunday 1st april. Saint-Etienne is also difficult to beat.



ps: I don't find yet the video of the goals of Toulosue in Sochaux. I still search for this. ;)

There are here (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/SochoTFC.avi).

Toulouse wins the friendly match against Oran last week 3-1. Goals scrored by Fort, Robic and Bergougnoux. Oran scored by Feham.

During the last week, 3 players played with their selections: Mansaré, Emana, and Elmander.
Mansaré play 90', and Guinea win 2-0 against Gambia. :)
Emana played 47' and was injuried. Cameroon wins 3-1 against Liberia. :)
Elamnder played 90', and scored the only swedish goal against Ireland. Sweden lost 2-1. :mad:

Woho, thanks for the update obscur! Great video as usual :)! Thanks!

[Bruun]

Saw a picture on tfc.info with Elmander and a sign saying "league 1 player of the month"... was that for the month of march?

He is on fire lately... do you think he will play for TFC next year? Brøndby only received 5 millions euro for him, you guys robbed us :( :D

[Weeela]

Hey Bruun, is your computer up and running again? You don't happen to have the ancient Lyon - Toulouse game still on it? Would love to see it :)! Cheers!

[13obscur]

Saw a picture on tfc.info with Elmander and a sign saying "league 1 player of the month"... was that for the month of march?
Every month, the paper L'Equipe, Canal+ and UNFP (National Professional Player Union) organize an "election" between 3 players. Every body can vote. Elmander wins for February, and was second in january. :)

Brøndby only received 5 millions euro for him, you guys robbed us :( :D
I think that Elmander had no price. But I'm happy that we could get a so extraordinary player.

do you think he will play for TFC next year?
Everybody in Toulouse asked themself this question !!!
I hope he will stay. He said that he will play Euro '08 with Sweden, so I think that be am important player, and play every match in Toulouse is a good way to play with his national team (if he's on the bench of a bigger team, it may be more difficult). If we can play an european cup, and if our president accept to pay Johan better, he may stay.
There no TFC fan who want see hi left the team. A second season here and he enters the legend. :D

The tifo of the Indians at the begin of the last match:

[13obscur]

do you think he will play for TFC next year?
Only Elmander can answer: the captain, Arribagé, had an interview after TFC-Saint-Etienne (http://13obscur.free.fr/tfc/video/elmo.avi).

2-0 WELL DONE! Now we need a match report.

[13obscur]

La chanson de Toulouse, c'est ~Goooool Elmander!~ :cool:

"Elmander! Elmander!! oh oh oh oooh oh oh oh oooh" :D Elmander was replaced 5 minuts before the end, and all the Stadium stand up and applause him.

3rd victory in 3 matches. Except Lille who wins against Sochaux (Thanks and congrats ;)), all others matches had the big score: 0-0. Also Lens. So after 32 matches, Toulouse is 2nd. :cool:
After only 7 minuts, Kaboul (Auxerre) "gives" the ball to Emana who score. TFC 1, Auxerre 0. The night is starting very well. 17°, Batlles shoot a free kick, Elmander is here and scrore. But he was offside (It's not sure) and the goal was refused. :mad: 30°, an extraterrestrial player come from the north offer a great assists to Mansaré. Toulouse 2, Auxerre 0.
This first period was really nice. :)
The second, Auxerre try to score but our goalkeeper, Douchez was unbelievable tonight. The defenders Congré and Mathieu realized a great match. At the minut 65, Arribagé score but the referee refused this goal, again... :(

We win, we are 2nd, and I dream with UEFA. :rolleyes:

Un nouveau dauphin
samedi 14 avril 2007 - 22 h 00 - Patrick DANIEL
Toulouse fait la bonne affaire de la soirée en s'imposant 2-0 face à des Auxerrois impuissants devant le réalisme toulousain. Les joueurs d'Elie Baup enchaînent une troisième victoire et prennent la seconde place.
http://www.football365.fr/division_1/story_161481_Un-nouveau-dauphin.shtml

Do you guys think that Toulouse will continue it's great form?

[13obscur]

It's possible. Players want an european cup, they want the Champions League. We need at least 8 points to get a european cup.
But, when you see the tables, the 10th have need 3 points to be in an european position. So, if Toulouse wants UCL, we had to continue winning.
And we will play some difficult matchs to the end (Paris, Lens and Bordeaux):
J33 Rennes - TFC
J34 TFC - Paris
J35 Lens - TFC
J36 TFC - Le Mans
J37 Nantes - TFC
J38 TFC - Bordeaux

Paris and Nantes play to stay in Ligue 1. Rennes, Lens, Bordeaux for a european cup (even if Bordeaux will play UEFA cup due to the Ligue Cup, they may wants the UCL).

Now, the players want Champions League, so they had one thing to do: continue to play well, and win.

The end of this season will be very very exiting. :)

[Bruun]

wawawewa... Toulouse got it going ON!!!!

Fucking hell, second place :eek: :cool: Checked the league earlier and it sure is tight. But if they keep it up, they go straight to CL!! And then you will keep your best players for sure! Why would they leave, when they have CL, good team spirit, cool supporters and a pink shirt?

Congratulations my friend!

And hook us up with some highlights... NOW!!! :) ;) :D :cool: :cool: :cool:

The referees were very bad. Emana scored a second goal, we should lead 2-0, but the referee cancel the goal (for a goal kick). But the ball stay in game, in the ground. :mad: With 2-0, we should win, it's sure. But no, Paris must stay in ligue 1, so "we" had to do everything to help them.:mad:

Well, except that, physically, it's was very difficult. The last matches will be difficult to play. We have not enought players to fight during 38 games.

I'll post videos later. ;)

Come on guys, you have to win against Lens so that Marseille can catch the UCL! :D

[13obscur]

Very very sad month... :(
We lost in Lens (0-2), and then we lost against Le Mans (0-1). We scored 0 goal (but 1 against Le Mans, but referee refused it for an inaginary foul...).
Except 3 or 4 players, the others think about next season...in an other team...:rolleyes:

I don't expect anything for the two next matches... I very disapointed.:o

[Bruun]

Did they get rubber legs? (danish expression :cool: )

Seems like they didn't have what it takes. Real shame...

http://www.bolddk.com/statistik/tabel.php?liga=15

They can still make second place, if they are lucky. I hope they get fourth place. Any news on Elmander?

[13obscur]

They can still make second place, if they are lucky.
Hum... no, I don't think. Marseille will be 2nd. They made a great end of season.

I hope they get fourth place.
With the victories of Bordeaux and Sochaux in cups, the 6th place can put us to UEFA (and the 7th to Intertoto).

Any news on Elmander?
Oh, yes. He's tired, he spend lots of energy during this season. He was not very good in Lens, but he was better against Le Mans.
Some rumours said that we could be transfered to the Betis, and that Lyon is interested by Johan. But nothing is sure.

UNFP Trophy, tomorrow at 7pm. Every year, the UNFP elect bests players of the year.
There is 7 categories: Best player (for L1 and L2), best goalkeeper (for L1 and L2), best young player (L1), and best coach (L1, L2).
Toulouse have a player, and the coach, nominated.

Best L1 player: Johan Elmander (Toulouse), Florent Malouda (Lyon), Abdul Kader Keita (Lille), Seydou Keita (Lens).
Best L2 player: Julien Féret (Reims), Yoan Gouffran (Caen), Babacar M’Baye Gueye (Metz), Jean-Michel Lesage (Le Havre).
Best L1 goalkeeper: Grégory Coupet (Lyon), Michael Landreau (PSG), Ulrich Ramé (Bordeaux), Teddy Richert (Sochaux).
Best L2 goalkeeper: Stéphane Cassard (Strasbourg), Steve Mandanda (Le Havre), Christophe Marichez (Metz), Romuald Peiser (Gueugnon).
Best young L1 player: Jimmy Briand (Rennes), Karim Benzema (Lyon), Samir Nasri (Marseille), Dimitri Payet (Nantes).
Best L1 coach: Elie Baup (Toulouse), Gérard Houllier (Lyon), Alain Perrin (Sochaux), Ricardo (Bordeaux).
Best L2 coach: Ludovic Batelli (Amiens), Cédric Daury (Châteauroux), Francis De Taddéo (Metz), Jean-Pierre Papin (Strasbourg).

For the best player, I think it will be Elmander or Keita (from Lille). For the best young player, Nasri had to win (I really like this player). For the coach, Perrin should win.

[13obscur]

86', 0-0 and Toulouse play with 10 players (Ebondo had a red card), Elmander is injuried.
Nantes' fans went on the ground, players run out the ground, the police enters the ground... I don't know if the match will continue...:(

[Butterfly]

Indeed, the game was stopped because some fans of Nantes went on the pitch... so this could mean that Toulouse won the game 0-3...

In two weeks time Elmander will score a few goals at Parken, Copenhagen. :)

[drac78]

Houiller best coach :eek: :eek: :D :D with that team and that money anyone would have done as good as he did imo...and it's not like lyon have gone far in the CL

Perrin should get that award imo

[Butterfly]

Indeed Perrin did pretty good in Ligue 1 and won the French Cup...

[13obscur]

We have 3 points !!!!!!
We have at least the Intertoto Cup. :) We wait for 20 years for an European cup. I'm so happy.:D

[Butterfly]

You're now abvle to catch the UCL! I hope you'll finish 3rd cause you deserve to be in the UCL and cause Bordeaux plays like shit! May the force be with you! ;)

[13obscur]

Thanks Butterfly.
Last season game start in less than 1 hour. I go to the Stadium to thank the players for this incredible season.
In the worst case, we'll play Intertoto Cup, if we have chance, it'll be the UEFA Cup. One thing is sure, tonight, I'll be drunk. :D

[Bruun]

1-1 at halftime. ELMANDER :cool:

2-1 now... Elmander again :cool:

Toulouse is in third place at the moment!!! That means CL.

Lens is losing 3-0, so they are gone. TFC is leading Bordeaux and Rennes is playing 0-0 with Lille at the moment.

30 minutes to go. SO EXCITING!!!!


HATTRICK HERO!!! 3 goals from Elmander!!!!


But Rennes are leading 1-0 :(


w00000000000000t!!!

LILLE did it... 1-1!!

TFC are in third place... Champions League!!!

[Butterfly]

Oh boy!!! Fucking unbelievable!!! :eek:
Lille did the draw at the last minute against Rennes which means Toulouse is in the UCL with a hattrick of Elmander the king!!! Congratz!!! ;)

[Bruun]

I'm so fucking proud of that Swede!!!!!!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

To think he played for my club for two seasons :cool:

Well, now, things change. We are in CL.
Yesterday, after the game, on L'EquipeTv, Aubey said we will stay, and he add that the players who wanted to go to another team expres the wish to stay in Toulouse. And Aubey named theses players: Emana, Elmander, Mansaré, Ebondo.
So, wait and see. But now, it could be easier to keep them one season more. :)

Nice man, but can you upload it as a torrent? Can't get that FTP to work. It just keeps loading, never lets me access the site.

Many commentators say that Elmander was the man of the day in the league tonight. If he keeps this level of play, I doubt he will stay more than one season in Toulouse. Although, if they play in the UCL next year... :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :cool:

[Weeela]

Nice chant obscur! Love that :)! Am I blind or is there no torrent file in that link you posted? (maybe I should post in that thread instead.. but what the heck).

:rolleyes: :cool:
Yeah, I know: I'm a genius! :D

Congrats to Toulouse!
We'll see for Elmander but what I still don't understand is why Paris let Paulo Cesar go :confused: He has been a major player for Toulouse during this second half of the season.
And don't forget to thank Lens and Bordeaux for being so pathetic and Nantes for giving you 3 points for free... :rolleyes:


This season of L1 might have been the worst I've ever seen. Glad it's over, let's hope the next one will be better.

[usagi]

This season of L1 might have been the worst I've ever seen. Glad it's over, let's hope the next one will be better.

Fuck Nantes :mad: and fuck Bordeaux for having played so badly this season. Losing against Nantes while already relegated has been one of our great achievements of this season. I still can't believe it....
Congrats to Toulouse even if it's hard to say it but they will show better football in the next CL than Bordeaux or Lens would have anyway....

[usagi]

I'm really happy for TFC but also for french footabll cause with Lyon, Toulouse and Marseille, next year we're gonna kick some asses around Europe :D

I'm praying for that....Just imagine three French clubs in the semi finals!!!:D
Toulouse FC vs Olympique Lyonnais
Olympique de Marseille vs AC Milan

Toulouse beats OL Lyon 3-2 agregates, OM destroys AC Milan 5-0 and we have the most exciting game in the CL history :) :)
but if TFC let Elmander go and Ribery goes to Madrid or whatever big team.......it might just become another dull European cup
I'm really fed up to see great players in the Ligue 1 making it to the Champions League just to leave right after
MOney...money...money

[Butterfly]

I'm praying for that....Just imagine three French clubs in the semi finals!!!:D

MOney...money...money Indeed that's a shame but French teams can't compete with European teams about wage cause in France (except for Monaco) there are too much taxes on the wage... :(
About Elmander I really hope he'll stay at TFC and ELie Baup asked for money to the chairman... wait & see then...

[Weeela]

According to Aftonbladet (http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sport/story/0,2789,1105002,00.html) Jon Jönsson, a full back from last year's Swedish league winners Elfsborg, has been talking to Toulouse. They also say he's been talking to Newcastle, as well as PSG.

Couldn't find any news about it in French or English, but maybe you guys can.. I think it would be nice to see him rise in Toulouse as lord Elmander, he's indeed a talented player.. has done a few performances in the Swedish NT as well, not in important games though.

The future will tell.. any more transfer news in Toulouse?

[13obscur]

Four players left the team: Benvegnu (Amiens), Bonnet (Sedan), Pentecote (Bastia), and Cherfa (Tours).
We have two new players: Rudy Riou (goalkeeper), and André-Pierre Gignac (striker).

Gignac sign a "pre-contract" with Lille, but after he decided to sign in Toulouse. Lille is angry against TFC (it's logical). The LFP will decide in which team Gignac will play.
I don't know why we're fight against Lille for this player. He played only 1 season en Ligue 1, and he cost 4M€. :confused:

I heard this news about Jönsson. L'Equipe:
Par ailleurs, le TFC a enticipé le départ d'Aubey et est sur le point, selon les informations de L'Equipe, de recruter le défenseur central suédois Jon Jönsson. Âgé de 23 ans, il évolue à l'IF Eslborg, leader du Championnat de Suède. Il est attendu dans la ''Ville Rose'' ce mercredi midi pour y parapher un contrat de trois ou quatre ans. Elie Baup le décrit comme « mobile, vif, dynamique et bon de la tête ».
I think it may be official this week.

[Weeela]

I think it's official now.. Elfsborg has said it, haven't seen anything on tfc.info though.. but I think it's 100 % certain.

I wish him the best of luck!

[13obscur]

It's official, two defenders sign today: Jönsson and Ilunga (from Saint-Etienne).

[Butterfly]

Pretty good transfer summer cause you kept you rbest players and bought some good ones! Keep going and we'll have a great Ligue 1 season :)

[13obscur]

Yes, we seem to be able to keep our players. And also Elmander. :) Even if aulas "try" to buy him (but I think he's doing what he has done in the past with Chamack or Pauleta). :rolleyes:
Aubey is a new player of Lens. He was transfered for around 2.5M€.

[avantsweater]

From TimesOnline.co.uk

"Wigan Athletic and Mallorca have expressed an interest in Fodé Mansaré, the Toulouse winger. The 25-year-old scored four goals last season. He was part of the Guinea squad that lost in the quarter-finals of the 2004 African Cup of Nations."

He looks great on YouTube. We need a left winger badly do you think there is any truth to this rumor? This thread looks like the place to ask about him! Any info would be greatly appreciated! :)

[Butterfly]

According to me it would be a pure madness for Toulouse to let Mansaré go cause this year they can play the UCL.
And i guess Toulouse's chairman thinks the same about Mansaré or Elmander.

[avantsweater]

Hmm I hadn't heard the rumor about him before I read it in the Times transfer watch section that why I was asking. It seemed sort of out of the blue.

[avantsweater]

Oh well,:rolleyes: our manager said it was just paper talk!

[jorquera]

What's the status on Mathieu? We are again/still looking for a left-back and after Chivu's department Mathieu's name has ran across the rumor mill too. It is reported that his price is 7.5 million Euros and that was considered too much by Roma.

This what I know. Your comment?

[irie-jaffa]

Toulouse - Liverpool in the Champions League!

[dolpiaza]

Ha ha ha it has come to this.. LFC v Toulouse.. So once again.. the question remains.. to lose or not to lose? :D

may the best team win!

[Butterfly]

TFC v FCL :eek: Oh boy! :rolleyes:
It will be a very interesting third qualifying round to the UCL!
Elmander will have to be at ther top!

Toulouse - Liverpool in the Champions League!

Uh oh.

[nimme]

Elmander gets to show his great skills in England!

[zeratul]

nothing better than that for Toulouse !! they have nothing Toulouse :D (sorry)

anyway, it's still better to be eliminated by Liverpool than to be eliminated by, I don't know, Maribor for example :D

[Butterfly]

anyway, it's still better to be eliminated by Liverpool than to be eliminated by, I don't know, Maribor for example :D Or Mlada Boleslav :rolleyes: :mad:
Anyway, Toulouse have two L1 games to play (august 4th & 11th) and Liverpool will start the PL in august 11th, so Toulouse could draw or maybe win the 1st leg but the 2nd leg in England wil be really hard...

[Weeela]

I hope Toulouse win just so we get the satisfaction of watching Torres miss out on Champions League football for the 10th year in a row :D

AHAHAHA, would be nice, wouldn't it :D!

Toulouse have just become my favourite French Club.

:D

[drac78]

good luck to you in the CL!!!;)

Toulouse's coach said that the team will go to Lourdes! (a holy place well known for wishes) :D

[Volta]

I hope you guys win Liverpool...:D

[13obscur]

Hi guys !
I have some computer problems, that's why I didn't post since few weeks. I hope it will repair next week.

Liverpool is the best draw we could have. If we are eliminated, it won't be a shame, and if the result if better... :cool:
The first leg will be an increduble game for all Toulouse's fans, and especially for those who were at the Stadium, in 2001, for a 3rd division game. :)
And it's a good reason for me to do a travel in England. :D

[LilleOSC]

Toulouse had trouble against Valenciennes yesterday. They lost badly to them.

[zeratul]

and Elmander gets injured apparently.

[Butterfly]

This is getting embarassing without Elmander... However it could be a great opportunity for Gignac to show what he can do!
Toulouse will have two great opponents : Lyon on august 11th and Liverpool on august 14 or 15th :cool:

[13obscur]

Elmander will play tomorrow. :cool:

It's official: I'll go to Anfield for the second leg. :D

[Butterfly]

Héhé good for you! ;)
I hope Toulouse & Elmander will stop Lyon just like last year :)

[Bruun]

Elmander turned down a contract, that will double his salary. How many years does he have left of his current contract?

TFC have to sell him before the contract runs out, if they want some cash.

[13obscur]

He signed a contract to 2010.
But I have read that he may leave Toulouse in 2008 if a team can pay XX M€ (I haven't the price...).

[Butterfly]

Allez Toulouse!!!!!
The game just started :)

[LilleOSC]

Allez Toulouse!!!!!
The game just started :)
Poor Toulouse is up against Lyon their second week.

[Nelly]

Elmander wins it right at the end:eek:

[Butterfly]

Héhé that was good :)
Elmander always & again! :eek:

[LilleOSC]

Elmander wins it right at the end:eek:

No way :eek: . Les Marseillais must be so happy.

[Butterfly]

I guess anyone in France except from les lyonnais is happy :D

Toulouse won against Lyon just like last year! Well done!
Aulas : «Une défaite injuste»


Au micro de Canal Plus, Jean-Michel Aulas était très déçu par la défaite contre Toulouse (0-1) et n'a pas hésité à se plaindre du peu d'amour dont jouit son club. Le président de l'Olympique Lyonnais a même crié à l'injustice. «La déception est grande de voir que tout le monde est excité par une défaite de l'Olympique Lyonnais qui est injuste. Je pense que l'ensemble des gens qui s'intéressent au football d'élite devraient s'intéreresser au fait que l'Olympique Lyonnais présentait ce soir une équipe de haut niveau avec uniquement des joueurs internationaux, dont certains se font expulser injustement et un autre qui se fait blesser, qui a peut-être une rupture des croisés et qui est notre meilleur joueur.»
Jean-Michel Aulas fait référence à la sérieuse blessure de Cris, sorti sur une civière après une faute d'Elmander. Il juge d'ailleurs très sévèrement l'arbitrage. «Cela va donc demander réflexion, ça fait trois genoux en quelque temps, il y a beaucoup de blessés. Ce qui m'insupporte en ce moment est la réaction anti-lyonnaise pour essayer de faire en sorte que l'OL ne soit pas au top. Alors je comprends que cela soit un spectacle, qu'il puisse y avoir du suspense, mais que l'on ne nous expulse pas un de nos meilleurs joueurs. Il y avait faute pour Källström, cela se traduit par une faute contre nous avec une expulsion qui encore une fois est injuste. C'est l'interprétation de l'arbitre qui fausse le spectacle et quand on veut que le spectacle soit au rendez-vous, il ne faut pas prendre des décisions qui vont en sens contraire de l'intérêt du spectacle. Et ce soir, le match a été bousillé par une faute d'arbitrage, et j'en suis désolé».
Linkage (http://www.francefootball.fr/FF/breves2007/20070811_194556Dev.html)
lol I wonder why Aulas does not talk about the fact that Keita should have been sent out... :rolleyes:

[13obscur]

Johan !!! :cool:

Kalltrom insult the referee, and he see the red card. Honestly, if Kalltrom wasn't excluded, the result should be different.

But, well, a victory against Lyon makes be happy for several days. :p

Jean-Michel Aulas fait référence à la sérieuse blessure de Cris, sorti sur une civière après une faute d'Elmander.
That's not true. Elmander did not do nothing bad !:rolleyes:

[Butterfly]

Kallstrom or Keita, at least one of them had to be sent off.
About the injury of Cris, Elmander didn't make a foul but Cris shot on him and injured himself... that's football but Aulas need to open his mouth everytime... he should learn to STFU!

Well done by Toulouse & especially Elmander ;)

[kuanti]

Although Lyon was controlling the game until the incident, Kallstrom's red card was well deserved. The replay shows him spitting in the direction of the linesman, who immediately complained to the referee. Also, the injury to Cris was not Toulouse's fault - he kicked Elmander instead of the ball and his knee seems to have locked.

Toulouse played extremely well in the 2nd half with the extra man and took advantage of their best opportunity. Elmander found himself in perfect position for the goal, and Emana came very close to making it 2-0 in extra-time when he hit the post. In my opinion, Emana was the player of the match.

------

Lyon controllait le jeu avant l'expulsion de Kallstrom, mais le carton rouge était bien mérité. La reprise montre effectivement qu'il a craché dans la direction du juge de ligne, et celui-ci s'est immédiatement plaint à l'arbitre. En plus, la blessure de Cris n'est pas la faute de Toulouse - Cris a simplement manqué le ballon et son genoux est entré en contact avec Elmander.

Toulouse a très bien joué en deuxième demie avec la supériorité numérique et a su prendre avantage de sa meilleur chance. Elmander s'est trouvé en parfaite position pour marquer, et Emana a presque ajouté un autre but en temps supplémentaire. D'après moi, Emana était le joueur du match.

[Butterfly]

In my opinion, Emana was the player of the match.I agree with what you said and especially the fact that Emana was the player of the game! He was on fire and made some great moves! :eek:

I don't think Toulouse is playing at 100% but if they can reach that level Toulouse could do something against Liverpool...

:D:cool:

In my opinion, Emana was the player of the match.
Yes. Emana, Dieuze, and Elmander were the 3 best players of this match.
I want to say a word about Moussa Sissoko. Only 18 years old, and he fight for starting the matchs.
He firm his first contract last year, some english clubs wanted him (Bolton, Liverpool,...). And now, I know why. He'll a great midfield.

I don't think Toulouse is playing at 100% but if they can reach that level Toulouse could do something against Liverpool...
Hum, I'm not completely trustful. Our defense wasn't great. At the begining of the game, Lyon had 2-3 dangerous actions and the defenders weren't present.

[Weeela]

Woho, Elmandeeer :)! Lyon can't seem to beat Toulouse, great job :D!

Too bad about Källström though. Meh, heard something about a two month suspension, hope that is NOT the case :eek:. Even though the red card was deserved, he's said it wasn't intentional: he was mad and spit several meters away from the linesman; though in his direction.. he was very regretful afterwards.

[DanneS]

Haha Elmander again :D:cool:

Look out Liverpool! Or he'll punish you as well. :p

[13obscur]

Too bad about Källström though. Meh, heard something about a two month suspension, hope that is NOT the case :eek:.
He's suspended for 1 match.

[Bruun]

Why did they play game so early in the crazy heat?

Bit obscure.

Going to Anfield now, it seems impossible. Don't you think?

It's Canal+ who decided this... Thanks to god €$£ :mad:
FL1 play the same day, C+ wanted to have TFC-Liverpool, VA-OM, and Rennes-St-Etienne. So, they decided that the security of the players was not important (It's not human to play with that conditions).

Going to Anfield now, it seems impossible. Don't you think?
We'll go to Anfield to try something (drinking some beers :D ). We see that we have to learn lots of things before being a real outsider in a match like this.
It's because it's impossible that we can do an interesting match and a draw could be a great result for us (1-1, with an Elmander'goal :cool:).

to scare the English.......hot weather scares them
lol :D

course it is....come on.....Toulouse :cool:

He's suspended for 1 match.

Yeah, I saw.. that's great.. or what you should call it. Way better than two months anyways :).

Definitely seems possible! Just keep tight in the back, and someone (Elmander) will snatch that 1-0 .. then, in extra time.. everything can happen!

[LilleOSC]

13obscur, how hard do you think les Pitchouns will play in the 2nd leg? This is slightly off-topic but I was just wondering... 13obscur, parlez-vous occitan?

[13obscur]

Yes. We do that in 1986 against Maradona's Napoli. :D

Well, I don't know. The problem will be our physic conditions. Tonight, we'll play the 3rd game in 8 days. After, we have a week before going to Nice, and 3 days before going to Anfield.
It's the first time that we had a calendar like this.
One thing s sure, out mind will say "Go on man! You must die on the ground to show what you can do!". But I don't know if the legs could do the same.

13obscur, parlez-vous occitan?
No. :o But I can understand some sentence during a conversation.


Great news, yesterday, R.Domenech call J.Mathieu to replace A.Diaby. :)

Good news for Mathieu. In Toulouse do children learn Occitan in school?

[13obscur]

We lost 1-3 against Strasbourg. They're not better than us, but we were tired. :o

In Toulouse do children learn Occitan in school?
No. In France, the languages like Occitan, Breton, Basque, Catalan,... are excluded from officials programs. Theses languages may be learnt like an option (for the Baccalaureat), or in some specialized schools.

Ah I see. Thanks for the information. I guess my uncle and dad learned Picard (chtimi) on their own then. How much does la Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France really help languages in France like Occitan?

How well do you think Toulouse will do against Nice?

I don't know this organization. :confused:

We still have problem in defense. Ebondo is the only player on the right side, and he's injuried for two weeks. Last game Sirieix (midfield) played in defense, but he didn't do a good game.

Arribagé and Congré will be back during September. We really need them to have our better defense.

[kuanti]

Big game today against Nice. We really need a win or tie here to get back on track.

[13obscur]

Logical draw 1-1 at Nice.
Koné (Nice) missed a penalty kick. Gignac scored at the end of the game: the goal (http://rapidshare.com/files/51261249/but5.asf.html).
We played with a new defense (again...:rolleyes:): Mathieu, Ilunga, Cetto, Paulo Cesar.

Next game: thursday in Liverpool. I'm very happy to go to Anfield. :cool:

[drac78]

Good luck against Liverpool! even if you don't beat them (which I'm nearly sure of) you will still have the uefa cup ;)

[zeratul]

well, I think you enojoy more the travel than the game. really bad performance form Toulouse in my opinion. of course, it was against one of the best team in Europe but they lack agressiveness, fighting spirit. they didn't make the game difficult at all. maybe they were overwhelmed by the event.
still have the UEFA Cup but it isn't by far the same thing.

[DanneS]

Liverpool have been in the CL-final twice the last three seasons. And some say they have an even better team this season.
It's not a shame to lose when playing vs one of the best Cup-winning Teams in the world.

After the first two goals were conceded, the Toulouse players became less motivated to play the way they need to stop Liverpool.
So it's back to the UEFA Cup for Toulouse where you could get a chance to meet Helsingborg of Sweden,
if we don't screw up our game vs Drogheda of Ireland tonight.

[13obscur]

Hi guys!
I'm back from Liverpool. For the game, nothing to said except that Liverpool is the best team in Europe.
I'm very happy because the 500 Toulouse fan's sing during all the game. When we sing the "Se Canto" (an occitan song) in Anfield Road, it was magic. Some friend said that we ear this song on tv. :cool:

Hi guys!
I'm back from Liverpool.

You went?! Very cool. Thanks for the pictures.

[Weeela]

Nice pics Obscur! Too bad about the result, but hey, better luck in the ligue 1 and UEFA cup! I think that's your focus this season anyways.. CL would've been too much to cope with.

[13obscur]

Important victory last night against Auxerre.
The first goal was scored by Johan Elmander. :cool: The second was scored at 91° by our young midfield, 18 years old, Moussa Sissoko. :)
Auxerre played very badly. They must do better if they want to stay in Ligue 1. :(

[Butterfly]

Good result against Auxerre.

Next game at Marseille :)

[LilleOSC]

I did not expect Toulouse to beat Auxerre. Nice job.

[AJAuxerre]

This Moussa Sissoko guy, seems a lot of attention regarding him recently.

Is he actually related to Momo or is he not? Some places ive read say he is, some say hes not. So i am a little confused.

[13obscur]

I don't know. I haven't read an "official" explanation. :confused:

[13obscur]

Next game: OM-TFC.
Good news and bad news for the Toulouse 's defense: Daniel Congré can play again, but Paulo Cesar is injuried for 3 weeks.
This match is the first of a serie of 5 games in 15 days: OM (15, L1), CSKA Sofia (20, UEFA Cup), Lens (22, L1), Caen (26, Ligue Cup), and again Caen (30, L1).

[Butterfly]

Indeed it's gonna be a tough schedule so let's hope nobody will get injured...

[13obscur]

We win !!!:eek:
2-1 in Marseille. Incredible. Goals scored by Emana and Elmander.

I hope Marseille will obtain better results soon. I don't want to see them all the season at the 15th place...

[Butterfly]

Congratz to Toulouse ;)

I post what i said on Marseille thread :

Once again an other disappointment...
We lost 1-2 in a game we shouldn't have lost.
We started the game very well and just like Scotland against France, Toulouse scored with one opportunity.
After that the genius Elmander scored a goal on a ball that Nasri gave too easily.
At 0-2, our team was too weak mentaly to come back. So Toulouse won this game 1-2. They played defensively and it payed.
We shot 22 times and only 4 times on target. Toulouse shot 8 times and 3 times on target... It says it all!
After the disappointments of France in Volley, Rugby, Football, Basket and this defeat I feel like i'm leaving in a black hole :D

[Weeela]

Woho, go Toulouse :)! And Elmander :cool:

EDIT: Seen the goals now, and it seems Elmander always does that on free kicks, lol. I know he did it one time in Bröndby, and then last season vs. Lyon and now this against Marseille. Bit odd way to do it, but hey, all goals count.

[13obscur]

It's sure that we were very lucky for the match in Marseille. And this victory was a very big surprise for us.

Tomorrow, the UEFA Cup will be at the Stadium, we receive CSKA Sofia. I don't know this team. They're leader of the Bulgarian league, and they have some european experience. If we want the qualification, we need to win this game because the second leg in Bulgaria will be hard.
And after, only 47h30 after this game, we receive Lens for the L1. Hard days...

Have you a video of that goal on Bröndby? :D

Ok, it wasn't as I remembered it, but it's almost the same.

Good luck these upcoming games!

[13obscur]

Thanks for the video. ;)

We didn't have good result since several games against Sofia (0-0), Lens (1-1), Caen (3-3 in ligue cup but Caen was qualified; and we lost 2-1 in L1).

Toulouse is qualified for the next round of the UEFA Cup !!! Dédé Gignac scored at the 90+6. Draw 1-1 in Bulgaria against the CSKA Sofia.
We'll have 4 more european games. :cool:

Sunday, we'll play in Sochaux, and after we will have 15 days without playing. We'll need some rest against the tiredness.


Gignac's goal (http://rapidshare.com/files/60276418/Gignac.wmv.html).
