First of all, the roster at the beginning of the season (in bold, the new faces):

N° Nom Prénom
1 LANDREAU Mickaël from FC Nantes
4 ROZEHNAL David
5 MENDY Bernard
6 YEPES Mario
7 PANCRATE Fabrice
8 CISSE Edouard
9 PAULETA Pedro
10 DHORASOO Vikash
11 DIANE Amara from RC Strasbourg
12 ATEBA Jean-Hugues
13 FRAU Pierre-Alain from Olympique Lyonnais
14 NGOG David
15 KALOU Bonaventure
16 ALONZO Jérôme
17 TRAORE Sammy from OGC Nice
18 PIETRE Samuel
20 CHANTÔME Clément
21 RODRIGUEZ Cristian
22 ARMAND Sylvain
23 MBAMI Modeste
24 HELLEBUYCK David from AS Saint Etienne
25 ROTHEN Jérôme
26 DRAME Boukary
27 BANING Albert from FC Aarau
28 Paulo César
30 COUSIN Nicolas

players who had left the club during this summer:
Lionel LETIZI to Glasgow Rangers
Carlos BUENO loan to Sporting Portugal
Branko BOSKOVIC free (at last !!!)
Stephane PICHOT to FC Sochaux
Christophe LANDRIN to AS Saint Etienne
Rudy HADDAD on loan to Valenciennes
Jean Michel BADIANE to CS Sedan

there is a player who is expect to leave, it's the Cameroon midfielder Modeste M'Bami. he has declared several times that he wanted to leave the club, then after to stay, then to leave...the coach, Guy Lacombe, said that was enough and now he has to leave.

First game is tonight at the "Parc des Princes" against promoted FC Lorient. it's a new era that begins in Paris as the French broadcasting group, Canal+, is not any more the club owner. It's a conglomerate of financial companies that owns now "my" club.

ALLEZ PARIS ! PARIS EST MAGIQUE ! :D

M'Bami is the Govou of PSG. He wants to leave but nobody wants him :D

In fact, some clubs are interested (West Ham, Charlton) in but M'Bami isn't interested in them. He wants to leave because he wants better but when he take a look on the mercato, he doesn't like it :D
they have to be solid for my first season as a abonné, or season ticket holder if you prefer

PSG-Lorient 2-3
And the curse continues... each time a former PSG's player is on the field against his old team, he scores. So this time, it was Fiorèse's turn...and he scored twice! :D
Something tells me that Rudy Haddad will make a great game next week :D

(by the way, did Pauleta play as a right winger like on the picture??? :confused: )
PSG leaded the score twice but Fionrose scored each time... it's a crazy world!

Especialy when you consider that last season, they won their first match 4-1 against Metz and many people (the medias) thought that they would make a great season and be Lyon's major opponent. And Kalou (1 goal and 3 assists in that game) be the..... best player of the season :D .
So, maybe this defeat against Lorient in the first game is a good sign for the new season :rolleyes:

I don't know if you're in the US but FSC has been showing games from last season over again. I saw PSG vs. Bordeaux and that was an absolutely sublime performance from PSG in the first half.

Bordeaux has the best defense in the France but Pauletta scored a hat trick against them in the first half. They also put together some world class moves during that game. Maybe Splatypus has a copy of it somewhere. Hopefully someone can seed it for you.

You just need to see the 1st half. PSG is a world class team. They just have some consistency issues. I believe they finished 11th last year.

I'll be watching PSG and Lyon this year and I can recommend them to you.

In Marseille, we have corruption, cheating, violence... but also the best fans in Europe, great players who give 110% of themselves (no divas like in PSG) and finaly, nights you'll never forget (this one is just one among others). You'll understand why Marseille is the most popular club in France :cool:

PSG might not have lots of glorified stats but just watch them and decide for yourself. I think you'll see that they're world class......unless they're playing Lyon. I think everyone can pretty much agree that Lyon is the best team in France.

So if you're watching Ligue 1, watch Lyon then decide what other teams you want to add. I can recommend PSG, Auxerre, Marseille, Bordeaux, Rennes, and St. Etienne.

[EDIT] I also have a soft spot for Sedan because former Cameroonian international defender Njanka plays there. The also played one of the most exciting cup finals in a long time against Auxerre 2 years ago, while they were in 2nd division.

Njanka scored one of the best goals of the '98 world cup. (shamless plug :D )

If you like 0-0 and 1-0(Pauleta) then PSG are your team.That game against Marseille's youth team at the end of last season almost made me give up football for ever I was so disgusted with PSG.
Saying that,Paul le Guen was part of PSG's good team about 15years ago so I don't quite hate them.
Rennes were my choice to follow last season.Haven't decided who to look out for this year along with Lyon.

Nice! Someone wants to follow PSG this year and you tell him to watch games from at least 10 years.... :D
The fact is that you can easily find great stuff from Marseille from the last years without refering to something like a decade ago (Giresse, Tigana, Allofs, Papin, Cantona, Waddle, Francescoli, Stojkovic, Pelé, Mozer, Boli, Desailly, Boksic, Sauzée...). We like the continental level that's our curse ;) (UEFA cups in 99 and 2004) and who else could make the intertoto cup sexy? :cool:
Btw I have nothing to say about PSG in the 80's cause they were spectacular. Games against Nantes were classics. Great period even if it was poor in the european cups.
But PSG in the 90's.... Really it was the french version of "Boring Arsenal". The Arthur Jorge period was ugly. Corner kick, header from Ricardo (or Weah, or Roche...). 1-0, game is over. Don't you remember that? Although Jorge had won the only championship in the Canal+ period, fans asked to change the attitude, that's why they took Fernandez. And Fernandez... not even able to win the league (with Marseille in the second division). On the european level, great successes.... although it was against teams out of form: Napoli, Real (as a Real fan I know what I'm talking about,. Last days of the Quinta del Buitre, old players with pathetic stars like Prosineki) and Barça (end of the Cruyff period after the humiliation against Milan and most of all without Romario). But they won those games sometimes with panache . Unfortunately, when they met a real great team (Juventus, Milan, Arsenal), what was the result: defeat without arguing.
The only time they won against a great team was when they met Parma in 96.
So PSG was a big team in the 90's but more cynical than magical.
But of course I'm biased since I'm an olympien and everything I've just said is BS. I know, I know...

by all means watch but honestly it's hard to simply 'pick' a team - being a supporter means knowing the community and what the club means. You cannot get that from a television.

Seems hard for certain people to understand simple things :cool:
Someone is asking which team should he follow this year? Meaning: "I love football and I'd like to watch games from a french team (other than Lyon) able to give me a weekly fix a quality football (and btw I'm not going to take a season ticket in the stadium :rolleyes: )".
So I give an example of what type of match he could watch by following OM (not every week for sure but we have some of this type each season). Here come the PSG fans.... the first one tells him to watch games from 10 or 20 years ago (arf...), and the second one tells him to watch the fans, without anything about the field (no need to bring videos from tifos in the vélodrome :cool: ).... :confused: Damn if he's not convinced by now :D
He doesn't want to become a fan (that's the second step eventually) he wants to see some good football. So you should focus your arguments on the field and players who are not already dead by now ;)
For example you could tell him that you have a great young player who could become this season's revelation: Amara Diané. He's the one who could bring the sparkle in the offensive side. And maybe as another Ivorian he could make the gifted Kalou become a more consistent player. If everyone plays right at the same moment, PSG is definitely a squad to follow. And once again, they should be the second team in the league. But as always there will be a crisis in the middle of the season....
PSG and Marseille at the top is really what needs this league to become more interesting for foreign viewers (and for ourselves :o ). So let's make a great season with another stake in the PSG-OM games than our little war.

in uefa cup or champions league people only remember the winner not the 2nd...
In a great country of football, indeed. Unfortunately, french clubs have only won 2 european cups. So you can't make "la fine bouche" when a team looses in finals. So even if we didn't win the title, OM is still the best french in european cups in the last years (even if we are qualified only every two years, at best :D )
don't you remember psg vs real in 93 ???one of the best match ever for a french team
PSG-Real was a great match, the problem with your comment was to invite us to watch games from PSG when Valdo was there. It was a team with great players but playing one of the most boring football we've ever seen in France. Fans were only awake when there was a corner kick. I know time can deform reality but really... rewatch your videos. Like when everybody says that Denisot was a great president. Do you remember what the fans were saying when he left? :rolleyes:

Now let's concentrate on Valenciennes-PSG!
So, Rudy Haddad, 3 or only 2 goals? :D

No, perhaps you misunderstood - the point of my post was for him to go and watch every match possible - not to focus on one team and picking it in preference to the other 19 as that would not be fair.

As for my linking of the fans, perhaps I should've added a line break :rolleyes: because it was not in response to his comment but rather something for the general public to enjoy. Oh wait, I did.

well, one would say that's exactly the reason people whistle the players. The fans are 100% behind their team and their club, and when you see overpaid players not giving their best and playing with their heart, it is quite natural for them to be heckled - they should be!

fans don't whistle players who go out and fight until the end.

as the author of this thread, I have some replies to make.

First: OM has the best public in Europe ? Please, this is a serious thread and jokes like that haven't there place here. Are you talking about the same public which was songless during 84 minutes at the French Cup final in April ? Ok the city of Marseille is all behind its team but I think it's wrong to say that they are the best fans in Europe. As siad before, many countries have better ultras group than Marseille.

2nd: Marseille best French team in Europe in last years ? I can't hardly believe what I read ! Even if I hate them, Lyon has made much more in Europe in last years than Marseille and Paris united. You've played an UEFA Cup final ? good but after being eliminated form Champions League. And I'm sure that Zenith St Petersburg's fans and Mlada Boleslav's fans must be laughing at you when they read that. A bon entendeur...

To cyrus2050: I speak for many PSG fans Iv'e speaked with: thank you for your welcome in Ireland and your sympathy. Derry fans have been fabulous and a friendship has born between our two publics. We'll never forget that and I wish you the best for you and your team. ;)

To silas awaketh: please bring us back Gaby :( we need players like him who run 90 minute long and who "l'amour du maillot"

Talking about European Ultras, we'll see a good example in few weeks at the Parc des Princes as the Panathinaikos will come to Paris for UEFA Cup.

Since your club is a joke, I can't see how this thread could be serious :cool:
And as the creator of this thread your have the responsability to post some comments or news a little bit more often (like Jorquera on the Roma thread, Butterfly on the OM thread, Vip on the Boca thread...). We all have something else to do in our lives but don't mention yourself as the creator of this thread if you aren't able to bring more input to this one. And try keep it on the PSG subject cause almost nothing in it is about your club (partly because of some hooligans from the south ;) but mainly because no one seems concerned). How come the Vikash case is not even discussed in this thread? Nobody loves him but still... :confused:

2nd: Marseille best French team in Europe in last years ? I can't hardly believe what I read ! Even if I hate them, Lyon has made much more in Europe in last years than Marseille and Paris united. You've played an UEFA Cup final ? good but after being eliminated form Champions League. And I'm sure that Zenith St Petersburg's fans and Mlada Boleslav's fans must be laughing at you when they read that. A bon entendeur...
A final is an achievement (even if winning it is always better). Has Lyon ever achieved anything in europe? NO! Who cares about how many quarterfinals the have collected? And remember Maribor or Liberec who defeated Lyon not so long ago. Everyone can loose against shitty teams. Plus in 2004 we won against Inter, Liverpool and Newcastle before loosing versus Valencia. So I wouldn't say that it was not a Champions League level. So Marseille is just a better team on the european level because even though we can loose patheticly against shitty teams (like Lyon did), we can also reach the ultimate step of european competitions (even if it's only the UEFA cup) someting like one time out of three. And Lyon can't, whether it is the Champions or the UEFA Cup. A bon entendeur...

About fans, I only express my (biased) opinion and you are entitled to disagree. But mentionning greek fans like someone else did in this thread is just pathetic. Why? => How can you tell that certain people are good fans? Simple, good fans are those who obtain from their players to play at a higher level then they can do. And the easiest way to judge that is the faculty that a club has to beat better teams. Not once but often. And you can count on one hand victories from greek teams over bigger clubs during the last 15 years. So, obviously, their fans don't bring much to their teams. So they're not good fans. They are much more trying to impress the opposite fans than helping their own team. Hell, we even won our two games against Olympiacos in the UEFA Cup although we were only playing in 2nd division at that time :rolleyes:

About PSG, this game against Sedan is the typical match for a new start. So maybe Paris will wake up and begin to win against other teams than promoted ones.
A good PSG is crucial for the Ligue 1 as the city is always attractive for many stars or future stars. And more stars is always better for the show than any sub classification (cf the useless Challenge de l'offensive).

To put an end to worst first half of a season in PSG's history, maybe Budan's coming (from Parma) could be a nice solution to help Pauleta. Only a rumour but a very good player.

Ibrahimovic

15-01-2007, 10:33 PM

I would say it depends on the title picture. If Lyon aren't the champions by May, and they face say PSG in the last game of the season, to determine who wins the title; then obviously that game would be the best to watch on the last day. It just depends really like I said.

Well congrats to Le Guen. I don't follow Ligue 1 much nowadays as I did a few years back, but I do try and follow it every so often. Lyon are unstoppable at the moment, so the PSG board will no doubt be aiming for 2nd, and a possible Champions League place next season.

hmm lol 2nd? More like top half of the table - 17th place, 17 points off pace to the 2nd placed team, bad form, a team that is insufficient... PLG is not the savior. Who knows if he will even succeed.

I think he said "next season" at the end of his sentence ;)
But if you listen to your president, you have the best manager and the best "10" in the world, so everything is possible... :rolleyes:
Well, it is! ...You just have to forget that Gallardo was playing like shit in River and lost his spot in the team, and that PLG made some pathetic decisions with the Rangers and gave up like a coward when he understood it wouldn't be as simple as he planned it to be.

PSG 0-0 TFC

The team had some positives (lots of energy, rothen, kalou), and noticeable negatives (pauleta all alone, 0 goals, no imagination, defensive frailty)

Next match is this weekend, and our last hope of silverware. But that said, no pressure on PLG :D, i'd rather us finish well in league with good performances than be weighed down by a constant demand for something the team obviously can't provide.

05-02-2007, 06:25 AM

yes, he started in a cup match but was injured in the first twenty minutes. He hasn't played since, logically :/

I heard from some other rangers fans that he's a bit hit or miss depending on the match. I've never seen him play when he was at lyon, so what's your judgement?

PortGlasgow

05-02-2007, 06:50 AM

first name on my rangers starting 11 if he was still here, easily the best of Le Guens summer purchases. I thought he would be a massive name in the future and in a few years bring in a lot of money when he left.

He was a solid defensive mid, broke up opposition play and didnt lose possesion easilly. He came into a completely foreign league and I think was excellent to adapt so quickly. And he turned down Lyon to follow PLG I think that shows hes determined to learn his trade

PSG garners a precious 2-0 away win in Athens, with a team packed full of youngsters and substitutes. The performance was quite solid, despite a shot against the Landreau's bar and very poor Kalou, and moreover this'll be the first time PSG has won two in a row I think!

Traore's first goal was just before the break - good header from a corner.
Mendy's goal was pure brilliance near the end of the 2nd half - why can't he play like this every week?

European Union, my friend! :D

I was just watching the report on France 2 about Julien's death. I've always had doubts about these events and for once I'm glad they didn't just give the official statement from the police. I'm not gonna defend the guys from Boulogne, but this cop lost it. The situation was tense but not enough to allow him to use his gun.
Bon là je continue en français parce que ce sera plus clair :o
Je pense que c'est son intervention qui a tout précipité. En arrêtant le gars qui se sauvait, il a favorisé l'attroupement et donc la montée de la tension. En croyant bien faire, il a précipité des évènements qui, à mon avis, ne se seraient pas passés avec un flic qui connait le Parc et certains connards qui s'y rendent.
Généralement ces gars te coursent, tu te manges quelques coups, et ils abandonnent. Ca ne va jamais très loin (surtout quand ce n'est pas entre hools ou ultras). Ca reste insupportable et intolérable. Pour autant est-ce qu'on aurait eu un lynchage? Moi je n'y crois pas et surtout il y a trop d'éléments bizarres dans l'intervention du flic pour faire croire qu'il était forcé d'agir comme il l'a fait.
Tout ça pour dire que c'est bien que les journalistes relèvent des éléments (qu'à mon avis tous les supporters avaient vu) qui mettent en doute quelque peu la version officielle. De vrais éléments et non pas la pathétique histoire à propos de la fausse agression du flic quelques années avant. Ces mecs n'ont pas eu les couilles de mettre en évidence des trucs qui aurait pu défendre un supposé facho. Y a qu'à étudier les évènements pour voir qu'il y a quelque chose qui cloche...

Et qu'est-ce qu'il a fait depuis le Sarko?...

ctait quel émission au fait?

"il y a trop d'éléments bizarres dans l'intervention du flic pour faire croire qu'il était forcé d'agir comme il l'a fait"

but, IMO only in the sense that he felt it was necessary to actually shoot at the crowd and not, perhaps, in the air (of course, bullets that go up must come down, so that's not a great solution either). The intervention occured to save the youth, maybe not from certain death, but from certain physical harm - and should indeed happen, it is a policman's duty. If he did not brandish the gun, then no doubt the BB, independants or "whoever" would have probably attacked both. This is where I think the display of force in the form of brandishing a firearm is justified.
But certainly the shooting has a lot of details that aren't explained, or even logical. For example, one of the deceased was shown to have died from a bullet coming from high to low, while the policeman claimed to be down on the ground, shooting up to defend himself.

Did his intervention increase the tension? Probably a little, but only from one that was already elevated. By intervening, the flic was a priori doing his job. What he did after though...

Stupid Utrecht supporters. I still don't understand it..

I still have some hope but the problem I see is the useless baggage on the pitch that only make things difficult for the rest. Here I am specifically pointing out Kalou and Cisse (most recently). So what if Bona made a great dribble against Benfica? He needs to do that every single game, and treat every opponent like they are a big team! Instead, he does not even run, like that is too much effort for a "star" like him, just as he wouldn't take the bus with the rest of the team to make the trip to Sedan.

PSG just play a pathetic brand of football this year, totally reliant on the aging Pauleta to score your goals. Eventually the coup de grace will come.

It's quite a turn around though, give you that. From top of the league to bottom in one season. Two away wins in 16 months.

2nd consecutive victory for Paris, right now waiting for the Nice game tommorrow to see if we can move up to 16th.

A good second-half performance - on the first goal, pauleta controlled the ball and served up luyindula; for the second, PLG's coaching is reaffirmed as the two substitutes (rodrigo and diane) combine and win the game.

Time to bump up the thread with the new season just around the corner.

The first game is on the 4th at home against Sochaux. We've had an excellent preseason so far, winning the large majority of games. In addition to some good signings, we've promoted a number of talented youngsters.

zeratul

31-07-2007, 11:01 AM

some young players have shown their skills during this preseason and that's a good thing. maybe we didn't have the best mercato ever (how could we sell Kalou for only 1.5m€ ? ) but we succeed to keep some key players like Armand and Rothen. we have renforced our defense with Bourillon and Camara (but I think I'll miss Rozehnal) and our midfield (with Digard, young player from Caen).
The Emirates Cup games give me hope because I saw a PSG playing well. I hope it will continue against Sochaux. I'll be at Parc des Princes this year again to support the "Rouge et Bleu"
moreover, I think I'll cap some Ligue 1 games for all PSG fans around the world ;)

On the paper it seems you can do very well but last year was the same... so i don't really know what to think anymore...!
However BL is gone and PLG can't obviously do worst :rolleyes: I guess Paris couldn't find a better coach than PLG who's got a Paris heart. With PLG the end of the last season was really good.
So you'll start the season without any pression and i guess you can definitely be on the top 5 and with confidence you could finish with a UCL qualification.
Anyway, this season should be interesting and for the sake of french football this could be the end of Lyon's supremacy :D

They had trouble scoring on Sunday, too. Bad match for Lille. PSG dominated possession. Mirallas and Dumont both blew great chances. That did not look like a penalty, but Sylva saved it anyway :D. I figured we would have trouble this season with such a weak and inexperienced squad. Losing 13 players is never a good sign.

zeratul

28-08-2007, 11:33 AM

even with losing so much players, the team keeps to be difficult to play. Going to Champions League seems impossible but the you won't be in the relegation battle for sur. It's a "année de transition".
For Paris, it's unbelievable how players are lost when they get the ball. They don't know what to do with that and when you lose Rothen on injury (for Xth time...) and when Gallardo is in a bad day, you just can score on a penalty kick (even that we can't) or in taking back the ball at the 25 meters.
After Sochaux, I was optimistic. After this game on the one in Metz, I'm really worried about this team.

Philo_

24-09-2007, 11:48 PM

Still no victory at home in five games.
We are the best team away with Bordeaux and one of the worsts at home.
The 4-3-3 of Le Guen is excellent when we play away but we have big difficulties with system when we play in Paris.
And our forwards need so many occasions to score one goal...

The public of the Parc des Princes want Pauleta at home he's the only one who seems able to score, even if he become old.

Next game at Lorient for the french League Cup. The young parisians from the academy should play so it could be very interesting. They are amazing with the Reserve Team, especially Sankharé (defensive midfield) who has signed his first professionnal contract recently. He's very strong technically and made a great performance during the Emirates Cup against Valencia. N'Gog, who's a striker, has played 30 minutes against Bordeaux. He has made a pretty good entrance and should play again. He's very talented.

This young generation is probably the best ever produced by the academy. They were french champions of under 18 two years ago and they are almost all now in the professionnal group. If people are interested, I could talk about them I go very often see the young teams of PSG.

FINDOS

03-10-2007, 05:56 PM

another lost game at home: 1-3 against Rennes
but the game will stay in our memories for the tribute to the former Paris SG president and co-founder, Francis Borelli, who lead the club during the 80's. Two minutes of silence have been strictly respected in his honour (something I've never seen before at Parc des princes) With Borelli, the PSG won its first titles (French cup 82 and 83, championship in 86) and become the club that it is. He was really close to the fans who were not so much at these time. The stories of his relations with the fans are numerous and all are unbelievable: when fasn had trouble with the polic, he went to the police station that fans were treated well, he offered free access to stands when Paris needed the much support to avoid relegation, etc...It is really a great man that left our club.
For all the work, the time, the passion you gave to this club, you deserved a victory President. We'll miss you :(

I, too, have developed a soft spot for PSG, but the news of the banner is disheartening. Unfortunately - and this my be my bias speaking - I have come to see this as the dark underbelly of French football, a side that I keep hoping will disappear. It's unfortunately to see a great club with great history have to this cloud the highlight of a disappointing season.

I really want PSG to stay up. It will make following Ligue 1 much more interesting for me. I just hop incidences like these steer clear of both PSG and French football in general.

too true. certainly no secret that racism exists in football, and Spain, France, and Italy unfortunately fall into that category sometimes a little more than others. PSG is no stranger to racism either unfortunately. :( sad because i always liked the allure of the club, the stadium, the city etc. but things like this puts a huge stain on all the positives.

more news on the subject suggest quick action against the club, but no replay to be played which i think if the right decision.

If the supporters want to get Paris out of the dyer situation they are in, it is now that the Club need their support, what the hell happened to being loyal in thick or thin?

Their supporters suck and they are racists. They're like Shaun Wright-Phillips. Good in the cup, but sucks in the league. Here's hoping they get relegated. Paris FC are only 4 points out of promotion to Ligue 2. Let them come to Ligue 1, so they can re-claim Parc des Princes. :D

i would agree to not lump all PSG supporters into one, but unfortunately the supporters who get the press and the media is the ones who are racist. :(

but in terms of the footy on the pitch, they certainly arent built for the long haul. strange to me too as Pauleta has experience, Landreau is a decent keeper, Mendy and Rothen have been with them for a while, but they cant put out a winning squad. whats most surprising for me is that Le Guen worked Lyon into the first of 3 consecutive titles, now onto their seventh, but he cant manage PSG into a mid table side. i do respect the fact that he went back to the club that really made his name, but surprised he cant get better results from them.
positives for them is that they have Sochaux, Toulouse, and Auxerre left, which they might be able to steal points from even if they drop 3 to St Etienne which is their 4th remaining opponent. picking up maybe 2 wins and a draw from those first 3 teams might be enough to stay up, but those Auxerre and Toulouse matches are huge as they are only 5 points and 3 points above them respectively.
Lens still has to play Monaco and Bordeaux, and Strasbourg (equal on 38 points with PSG) have to play AS Nancy, Rennes, and Marseille.

No League Cup for PSG next yr which is sad for them as thats the only place they seem to excel in as of late.

but justified.

any penalty for racism needs to harsh and long lasting, so as to serve as an example.

this is ridiculous though, the only reason Paris got this punishment is cuz of all the hype around that banner and our President was there...:S

there are many other cases like that which go unnoticed because it's not a cup final or because Sarkozy is not in the stadium..

cup final, lague match, reserve match, or pub league, its racism, and they did it in front of thousands of people and should be punished for it. been through it many times as a Roma fan and i hate those "supporters":rolleyes:, and its all over Italy, it doesnt mean its right. punishments need to be severe. i think not allowing PSG to have a chance at holding their Cup is severe.

I think the punishment is fair. I agree with drac that they should have been penalized points (They penalized Metz. I guess because it was a league match). I also agree that Sarkozy's presence played a part too. Most PSG fans (I said most) are very much right-wing and the government used this to their advantage by forcing PSG to dismantle one of the far right ultra groups.

well, that was the one i said they needed to win. a 1-1 draw, and a draw from Lens v. Monaco means that everything stays the same, and goal differential separates those 3. so its Toulouse, Lens, PSG on 39 points, PSG in the last relegation spot due to that differential.

a win today would have pushed them above both. :o

Yea, and Bastia also got points deductions because of a racist banner.

I knew very well that Paris wouldn't get points deduction as the FFF (french football federation) are doing their best to keep Paris in ligue 1. That's what annoys me the most.

also, I think banners shouldn't be allowed in stadiums, most of the time they're just there to provoke people...banners are forbidden in England (I think), we should do the same too.

Do you know why Paris didn't get points deductions??Because the game wasn't a league game unlike Bastia and Metz games!!!that's the only reason!

we could read in the banner :Marseillais Bienvenue en France" so"Marseillais welcome in France"and we all know what It means...

well, that was the one i said they needed to win. a 1-1 draw, and a draw from Lens v. Monaco means that everything stays the same, and goal differential separates those 3. so its Toulouse, Lens, PSG on 39 points, PSG in the last relegation spot due to that differential.

a win today would have pushed them above both. :o

Great match, but disappointing if you were backing PSG. I was excited with the Mendy goal, and then to give it back so close to the end.

I don't know if the goaltender could have otherwise stopped it, but I would have liked him to do more on the tying goal. He just kind of fell backwards and to the right when the ball went down and to the left. He ... kind of panicked. Not sure he could have done anything to stop it. It was just disappointing.

What was the controversy in the tussle after the goal? I watched the French broadcast and couldn't make out what had happened.

Toulouse scores. A Toulouse coach, from watching the video, they said it was Alain Casanova is obviously estatic and overcelebrates by running up the lines and gets into it with Bernard Mendy and other PSG players who obviously weren't happy with the late goal and this guy practically rubbing it in their face.

sigh. makes if really heard to like them doesnt it. even had a Pauleta shirt a few yrs back too around Dinho's time there. little after maybe. but makes it difficult to support them when they act this way.

maybe the best thing is for a drop, restructure everything, bans/fines for racism and let them have a Ligue II experience to humble them before a return. but i know that would probably only promote more violent acts:(

funny think is that they won 1-0 so they are in the final and may pull off the French Cup and Coupe de la Ligue double, qualify for the UEFA Cup and may still end up in Ligue II. terrible fans, they have a trophy, could earn 2 in a season, but will throw racist banners up everywhere and throw riots if they are relegated

Yes, it is very ridiculous, though PSG did get lucky with the draws in this cup (conspriacy, maybe :D). Even though they should get relegated, they won't, unless they really mess up because Lens has Lille and Bordeaux to finish. And if we win tomorrow, ASSE might gift PSG because the coupe de france UEFA Cup spot will revert to the league

sorry but yesterday's trouble teargas wasn't the responsability of PSG fans but came from the police outside the stadium. some people were pushing to get entrance to the stadium but as always in France, the only answer is teargas. same thing happened during the France-England at Stade de France last month.

Yannick Boli scored a nice first goal in his professional career. I hope it won't be the last :cool:

PSG appeal against League Cup ban

PARIS, May 7 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain will appeal against the decision to ban them from defending the League Cup next season after some of their fans held up an abusive banner during this season's final, the club said on Wednesday.

The banner was briefly unfurled after the interval of the League Cup final on March 29, which PSG won 2-1 against northern club Racing Lens. It referred to a film about the life of the Ch'tis, a nickname for the people of northern France, which is breaking box office records in France.

It read: 'Paedophiles, unemployed, inbred: welcome among the Ch'tis.'
The French League (LFP) ruled last week the club would not be allowed to enter next season's League Cup.

PSG, third from bottom in Ligue 1 with two matches left, qualified for the French Cup final on Tuesday with a 1-0 win at second division Amiens.

I know you support PSG, but do you seriously think they have been a worth while club in the past 3 years. Yes, they have play well, in the cups, but in the league, you have stunked. The only reason why your relegation struggles were talked about was because of your history and the fact that you are based in one of the capitals of Europe. If that had been, let's say Valenciennes and they had the same "honors" you guys had over the past couple of years, no one would of care. I think getting relegated would of been a wake up call to your management just like what happened to Nantes last year. But, anyway, congratulations. Since you are safe, maybe the final will be entertaining since both of us are going for the double.

Just to rectify a few points im not a true PSG supporter i just live in Paris, i used to go and watch Paris in the 90's (la belle époque) and saw some fantastic games aswell, but thats all so i can't really class myself as a full PSG supporter just someone living in the city and supporting the team of that city.
Im originally from North London hence the link with Tottenham Hotspur and Juande Ramos in my profile to the left...

<-------------------- COYS!

Now back on topic, can you honestly say that the Ligue1 without PSG would be a better place? i can't, Paris are amongst the elite of the Ligue1 with other such teams as Monaco, Marseille, Lyon, Auxerre, Bordeaux, Lille, even Saint Etienne, etc. for the other teams that hop in and out of the Ligue1 it is sort of normal that they go down and try to come back up the following season as it is all part of being a mediocre club in a mediocre league.

If Paris had gone down im really not sure that we would have ever see them again in the Ligue1 again as the club would've broken its back in selling players and not getting back up to the level required to challenge for a ligue1 place, this would have a long term effect on the club and probably liquidation after 3-4 years.

Paris needs a big club, paris needs european football, and the Ligue1 needs PSG as they are always stiff competition in whatever game they play, admittedly not this season or thoses preceeding this season but they will be back to challenge for the title in which Lyon has had a strangle hold on for the past few years.

The final at the SDF will be great as both teams can relax and just play football without worrying about going down or winning the title etc. so we should see a great match.

Good luck to Lyon and Allez PSG (sans ses supporteurs bien sur ;))

of course it would be, SOME OF your "supporters" are just troublemakers and create problems wherever they go.

Now on the footballing side, PSG suck. They don't have any talented players and I'm sure the likes of Bourillon, Chantome, Luyindula & cie would not be missed...

I know that's crazy but once every 5 years (more or less), Paris somehow manages to battle for the title (champion in 94, runner-up in 2000 and in 2004).
I'm aware they had some crappy last 4 years, mainly because of too many presidents and managers to come and go.
Still Paris gathered 9 titles in the last 15 years. Not all of them are that magnificent (Coupe de la Ligue, anyone ??) but that's more than say, Marseille, Bordeaux or Monaco during the same period.
And even one could consider the Coupe de France is a sorry little sad trophy, I know one magnificent French team very eager to get it home :)

Never forget what Paris has to offer:
- One of the biggest average attendances (only beaten by Olympique de Marseille). If you don't care, the League won't agree with you
- Broadcasting PSG games is always a good draw for Canal+ : the third most popular team for Ligue 1 TV ratings (behind Marseille and Lyon)
- The best stadium, soundwise. The home crowd can be pretty amazingly supportive and enthusiastic.

Surely, not all PSG fans (especially ultras) are not well-mannered. But just look at what happens last week end only in Lens (angry supporters mob coming on the field at the end of the game who saw their team relegated. They were not happy and wanted to show it off) or in Auxerre (Lyon ultras fighting with faiground people before the game).

It's true it's sad Lens gets the last seat to Ligue 2. I'd rather have Toulouse who already proved they couldn't (or wouldn't) represent France correctly in European Cups. Besides they still have the rugby team to cheer for :) But utter crappy management made the decision in Lens.

Oh, and put a little faith in Chantome. He'll become a solid creative player. A good prospect, he may be a new Vincent Guérin.

TheLionLyon

20-05-2008, 03:16 AM

I agree with you tagolo that PSG is a great draw for ratings. They are going to have great attendance because as I stated in an earlier post, Paris is one of Europe's capitals. When and they will :D Paris FC get to Ligue 2 (I have been to a few of their matches), expect their attendance to increase significantly.

I would of been sad if PSG got relegated, but I wouldn't cried a river. Nantes averaged in the top 4 attendance-wise consistently every year in Ligue 1 until their relegation. When they got relegated, that was a big wake-up call and management took notice and now they are back up and I expect them to stay up. I think management would of woke up if PSG had gotten relegated. And it is ultras job (not primary) to cause trouble and incite acts, however PSG ultras often take it a little too far.

And once the world takes notice of Chantome, he will be out of PSG. Has he signed an extension? PSG needs to hold on to Ngoyi, Sankhare, Digard, Mulumbu, Diane, and Guillaume Hoarau. Hoarau tore up Ligue 2 this season.

rumors are that Diane is already being shopped by EPL clubs, i think Newcastle and other bottom 10 clubs were interested.
bad news for PSG as one could make a case that he was the reason they stayed up. timely goals from him in matches they needed to win

they also need to hold on to Landreau, but i dont see that happening either tbh.

Diané has been indeed linked to Newcastle, he'll land in EPL one day for sure.
Arsenal might (already) have an eye on Chantôme, so it will be tough to keep him.
As for Armand.... I'm not a big fan of him as a left back (way too slow) but he's good at CB. Is he off to Lyon or to Spain ? In any case, Paris will have to look for a left back...

Not yet... He won't be ready for at least one more year : training @Arsenal (+ Carling Cup ??) or playing all games (including UEFA Cup) with PSG

He's a really good team player, very mobile with precise passing
BUT
he lacks the fitness and a good mid-range shoot

You just can't compare it to Nasri (or Valbuena) for now. But given what happened in PSG this year, he for sure has a strong mental and is eager to become a starter next year if he stays in Paris.

Yes, he sucks. If you look at the league table, you'll see PSG barely survived in Ligue 1 this season, Chantôme started most of the games and was just terrible.

I'd say it's a poor assessment, and your last sentence shows some bias.

Chantome has been one of the very few players who were rather consistent all season long. There has been many experiments and changes on Le Guen side during the first half of the season, so Chantome didn't always play where he's good at (he's not a terrific right winger indeed).

If you want to accuse some PSG players for sinking the team, you could focus on Ceara, Armand, Bourillon, Landreau, Luyindula, Souza.... first. Chantome is part of the good guys (Pauleta, Diané, Rothen, Clément)

@TheLionLyon : has it ever happened for a French (or francophone) youngster to make a bad decision when going to Arsenal ? I can't recall a "Sinama-Pongolle / "Le Tallec in Liverpool" case with Arsene Wenger. Come on, even Djourou still plays sometimes.

I am not insulting Arsenal. Why sign with Arsenal when you haven't even proved your worth in Ligue 1. He's only 20, with PSG playing in Europe next year, he can get more exposure and maybe Arsenal won't be the only elite club linked to him. I mean seriously, out of all the players in France's youth system, 75% percent of them have or are probably linked to Arsenal (including myself :p). I am just saying that he's in a win-win situation if he stays at PSG. Now I wouldn't mind him signing with Arsenal and they loaned him back to PSG like what Real did with Garay.

I see your point. He may still have some time left in Paris (actually I hope he'll stay) but going to Arsenal might not be as dramatic as going to... Newcastle, Tottenham or any "less French-friendly" team right now. I'm convinced Wenger has a long term project for every youngster he enrolls.

Actually, the League doesn't agree with you: You're third (http://www.lfp.fr/ligue1/stat/affluence_club.asp)! ;)

We spent 2 years in the 2nd division and we were much much more important for the league at that time than you will ever be and I don't remember people saying that we shouldn't get relegated just because we were the most important club.
Only few years ago, we were very close from being in 2nd division again. We had, once again, much more to offer than you do and still, no presss campaign about why we shouldn't go down, how the league would be in danger...
If you are too bad for Ligue 1 why should we keep you? I don't see any reason why we should protect you. That's part of a club history. St Etienne, Bordeaux, Lens, Lyon, Marseille etc experienced 2nd division. Any complains? Can't remember of any.

I was close to pick him. But considering he managed to stay at Arsenal for 8 years and yet was able to become a starter @ Boro, he pretty much flipped it. You can't stay at a club for 8 years if you're that unhappy.

If you compare to the destiny of guys like Le Tallec (back in France, now rather anonymous) or Vincent Pericard, you can't say Alliadiere crushed his carreer even though he didn't play many games.

lol @ you saying I'm biased. I support neither PSG nor Marseille. And if you say Wenger should not sign the likes of Valbuena or Pjanic instead of any PSG player, then you're the one showing some bias ;)

I'm not saying Wenger should pick Chantome over Valbuena because :
1. I'd like to have Chantome at least one more year in Paris
2. Valbuena is a better player (for now ??)

I consider Diaby is in the rotation (let's remember he was injured for 8 months in 2006 so he needed time to adapt and to recover).
So far Flamini hasn't been replaced and Gilberto is unsure to play next year. Diaby may come next in Wenger's mind and play many more games.

And Senderos is Swiss so it won't count :D

Actually, the League doesn't agree with you: You're third (http://www.lfp.fr/ligue1/stat/affluence_club.asp)! ;)

- Marseille has a longer history and had better performances than PSG : 100% true of course. Still the fans can't avoid thinking it will end some day :)
- The reason why Marseille got relegated 15 years ago what not really the kind of reason you get much support for, they didn't end up 18th or lower. Not the same situation = can't compare = irrelevant.

I can't remember what happened in 2000 for Marseille. Sad if there were no support but I doubt it, there's always a Saccomano around to sing his love for his club.

And I agree, history and past glory won't give you a pass on relegation. But it's good for an average championship to have teams with some money which might compete in Europe (provided they're good enough in their own country but that's another story :D )

I'm not talking about the history. I was talking about what both clubs had "to offer" according to you (audiences, people watching TV...). And in these subjects Marseille is always in front. These arguments weren't used in Marseille's case, so why would they be used in PSG's case?
- The reason why Marseille got relegated 15 years ago what not really the kind of reason you get much support for, they didn't end up 18th or lower. Not the same situation = can't compare = irrelevant.
Whether it was for sporting or administrative reasons doesn't matter. Marseille was the most important club in the league and the most beloved one. Newspapers, TV, radios... needed Marseille, the league too. We could have stayed in 1st division with some handicap points at the start of the next season. But we were relegated and no one thought of saying how vital we were for the league. Not because of the circumstances but because no one thought of using such a poor argument.
And I'm sorry if you can't remember what happened in 2000 and 2001 but I can assure you there wasn't anything like we've seen this season concerning PSG. That was just ridiculous. And I can't believe a fan would use this kind of arguments too.

Division 2 isn't a black hole. It's tough but not impossible. Just remember that Bordeaux or Nantes only spent 1 season down there (2 seasons for us but it was due to another administrative relegation). So what is everyone so afraid of? Chickens.

Maybe because back then the "Division 1" wasn't worth 400-600 M € a year ? If there's less money in the game, less people would care if one big guy goes down. If there's a pile of millions on the table and an asset fails it's a bigger drama for more people.

But we were relegated and no one thought of saying how vital we were for the league. Not because of the circumstances but because no one thought of using such a poor argument.

Two things here :

- all the press went crazy about the corruption story, it was the time when crushing Tapie in any domain was a national sport.
And let's be fair, it happened in June-August, there was nothing else to talk about (except for a civil war in Yugoslavia, but who cares, we still don't), Tour de France was boring, so Marseille was the filler. And if a journalist dared to "defend" the OM at that time, he would have been considered as partisan, which is a deadly sin for French journalists. It's much easier now to say "oh poor PSG" because they are powerless, pitiful and often ridiculous. The fact that more journalists may have some tickets for free may help too.

- it's sad no one thought about this argument, but again it would have had less weight since there was much less money at stake.

And I'm sorry if you can't remember what happened in 2000 and 2001 but I can assure you there wasn't anything like we've seen this season concerning PSG. That was just ridiculous. And I can't believe a fan would use this kind of arguments too.

Division 2 isn't a black hole. It's tough but not impossible. Just remember that Bordeaux or Nantes only spent 1 season down there (2 seasons for us but it was due to another administrative relegation). So what is everyone so afraid of? Chickens.

All this talk started when I decided to explain what happened with PSG these past months. I understand other people took it bad.
I personnally would have survived the relegation: a cheaper season ticket and a big pride at the end of the road that I would have followed the team when it goes dead wrong. As you see, I'm not a hardcore nor long time fan. But repeating his attachment/support/love for PSG in Paris is much harder than you think :o

And to end up on an OM note : the season I supported them the most was precisely during their years in Division 2, only because you had Tony Cascarino who I'd loved since Italia 90 :)

But repeating his attachment/support/love for PSG in Paris is much harder than you think :o
Now, that I can understand: I'm 100% parisian! I stopped loving this club when Canal came. Not because they became our rivals (I was supporting both clubs at that time) but because something was lost. PSG had a certain image (a certain romanticism) and it disappeared as soon as Canal took control.
And to end up on an OM note : the season I supported them the most was precisely during their years in Division 2, only because you had Tony Cascarino who I'd loved since Italia 90 :)
My father being irish, it was a great pleasure for us to have the Great Tony in our team.
And like many other fans, those 2 seasons in the abyss (\m/) are a fantastic souvenir. Not because it was easy (it wasn't) but because we had a team playing with their hearts like we never have had again since then. Especially during the second season when most of our "stars" left the club and it begun to smell really bad. What is weird is that I remember our defeats more than our victories. Against Le Mans for our first match (what an entrance!) or against le Red Star, Nancy, Guingamp, Niort, Beauvais, Epinal, Louhans. 0-4 against Chateauroux at home... Yeah some serious humiliations :D But it was great! And what a performance in the UEFA Cup (Olympiakos, home and away), plus our semi in the CdF against... Paris :(

There's nothing like a little trip in the 2nd division. You should try it! :D

Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi has been offered the chance to become Paris Saint Germain's sporting director according to reports in France.

The capital club will name their new president on Tuesday, with TV producer and presenter Charles Villeneuve in pole position.

The famous figure is a friend of Arsene Wenger, who recommended him to PSG owners Colony Capital, and it is believed that a partnership between Arsenal and the Ligue 1 outfit will start.

Grimandi, the eye of Arsenal in France, brought promising players Mathieu Flamini and Abou Diaby amongst other names to The Gunners, and his talent to sign top class players is an asset that Paris want to use.

Wenger has reportedly agreed for his colleague to move to Parc des Princes and an official announcement could be made in the very near future.

Partnership = lower price for Clément Chantôme? :D

I heard he rejected it..

PSG : Grimandi a refusé le poste de manager

mar 27 mai, 13h06

Le recruteur français d'Arsenal Gilles Grimandi aurait refusé la proposition de devenir le manager sportif du Paris Saint-Germain. Sous contrat jusqu'en 2011 avec le club londonien, l'ancien Monégasque ne souhaiterait pas quitter l'Angleterre et l'aurait fait savoir à l'actionnaire majoritaire du club parisien Sébastien Bazin, selon le quotidien L'Equipe. Disposant d'un réseau important d'observateurs européens, le carnet d'adresses de l'ancien Gunner intéresse de nombreux club. L'AS Saint-Etienne avait déjà essayé de débaucher le dénicheur de talents il y a quelques semaines, sans plus de succès. L'actuel directeur de la cellule de recrutement parisienne Alain Roche semble parti pour rester. Plus d'infos football sur Maxifoot.fr

I heard it too. It could have been a good choice for the club but I hope it wasn't a strategy to get Chantome for lower price.

by the way, for Arsenal's fans who wants to know how good is Chantome, I recommend you to watch the French Cup final vs Lyon.

Tbh, I though Chantome was pretty overeager like he knew Arsene was watching him or something. He was involved in the majority of the altercations during the match.

Landreau dropped, won't play Euro'08. Doesn't matter anyway since only Coupet will be on the pitch.
Still, another mental setback for Landreau ?

It seems the new PSG president, Charles Villeneuve (former military, former producer of controversial TV show only focused on insecurity, terrorism and violence in the ghettos and former head of sport @ TF1) doesn't know much about the current football players out there.

The latest rumours for new summer signings are : Makelele, Thuram, Pires, Giuly, Wiltord, Coupet... and Ben Arfa. At least someone who's not over 32. But still no one realistic (except maybe Thuram and Wiltord).

Well he had a reason to be angry, with keita elbowing, tackling, and even swearing in front of the PSG bench like a thug. That guy should have been sent off 3 times over. :mad:

i like PSG, but wrong decision. let racism like that stand, especially from a club who has that reputation, warrants them to do it again and again unpunished.

:( feel bad for Lens and its supporters who had to endure racism and then watch it go unpunished.

Sadly, I seen this one coming. Had it been reversed, Lens would of been told not to appeal. And that statement they released. Blah. Instead of blaming themselves and their asshole supporters (just the far right ones), they blamed the LFP for not properly organizing the event? Meh.

theyh quickly turned on george weah too.. mad people. i've nothing against ultras or banner displays degrading opposition teams and their fans alike, it makes for more experience.. racism is something i can do without... no time for it,

psg allowed to defend the cup then? seen that they have been and that they haven't, would like a little clarification thanks

p.s ultras add to the football stadium in game expierence and for the folks watching at home gives them a sense of what they're missing.

it's shit like this that pisses me off;

Alright, the deal is done:

http://1970psg.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/carlo-ancelotti-101.jpg

Carlo Ancelotti was presented to the world this afternoon as the new Coach of Paris Saint-Germain and revealed his excitement about the project.

Earlier on in the day, the club released a statement confirming the departure of Antoine Kombouare. It must be noted what a wonderful job ‘Tony’ did during his two year tenure, leading the club to the top of Ligue 1 for the winter break. Not forgetting his vigorous work last season that almost culminated in Champions League qualification. Merci Antoine.

Today was indeed a significant step in the future of the club. Implementing a world renown Coach is not only monumental for PSG but for French football as a whole. A marquee names such as Ancelotti has the whole world talking and will certainly be keeping tabs on his task in hand.

Arriving to the presser with a broad smile and his infamous eyebrow perching in the spotlight, the Italian first delivered a few lines in French before undertaking his conference in Italian and English.

Signing a two and half year deal – as speculated – he answered questions from the press.
