Yep, with a beautiful free-kick !!

PSG 0-1 LILLE FINALE COUPE DE FRANCE 2011


At the end of the video there's a penalty but Coupet stopped it.

Excellent free-kick.

so Lille win Ligue 1

was surprised to see Sochaux jump so high up, past few seasons they were fighting for relegation

speaking of Sochaux, we were linked with their right winger Boudebaz, neitstab snce you follow the league what can you say about the season he has had

Not a surprise for me. They have a good coach and a few very good players as Boudebouz and Martin. You talk about Boudebouz, 7 goals and 6 assists this season. Very important player in an average team like Sochaux. I can't really tell more about him as I don't watch the matches of Sochaux.

Paris 2 - 2 Lille

Lille champion for the 3rd time of their history. They completely deserve it, congratulations to them.

Marseille 2nd.

Lyon and Paris fighting for the 3rd and last place for the CL.

4th, 5th and 6th in EL.

I don't know if you heard about what happened at the stadium in Lyon but I want this season to stop, the coach to leave and the club to build something new. Some players with no respect for the club must leave too.

Team of the season :

Glad Gervinho is recognized in France. I really rate him.

I also can't believe Rami is off for so cheap.

Puel has been sacked far away from Lyon
New coach will be Rémi Garde, former player of Lyon (1984-1993) and also Arsenal (1996-1999). Garde was the director of the Lyon's academy.
 

Happy with that, Neitsab?

Cannot believe Monaco made a Champions final this past decade and now they're relegated. Unlucky.

As a fan of Lyon and someone that has insight are you happy with that appointment?

I know ey Crouch dont think it was down to luck though they made a whole host of bad signing over the last few years.

Yeah just nothing worked out for them. They had a few promising kids coming through not long ago too but they turned out sh*te when they were given a run of games.

Happy with that, Neitsab?

YES ! Nothing worked with Puel. When he signed in Lyon the first error was made by Aulas : he offered him a 4 years contract.. Second error, by Puel : he decided to sack several persons who was working at the club for years. At this moment Lyon has won 7 titles in 7 years and Puel decided to change everything.
An other fault by Puel : He let the youngs players on the bench during the whole season. Oh no, sorry, I'm doing a mistake, he put them on the pitch at Auxerre when we were 3-0 down..

Now, for the first time since 10 years, Lyon will maybe not fight for the champion title. High price players will be sold to bring some money (Bastos, Cissokho, Ederson, Toulalan, maybe Kallstrom). Lisandro and Lloris will stay. Garde will use young players way more than Puel did.
A new team is about to be built.

Sounds familiar.

Garde Dalglish will use young players way more than Puel Hodgson / Rafa did.

who are lyons brightest youngsters, only ones I know are from FM

Kolo, Gonalons, Grenier, Reale, Lacazette, Novillo...

I guess Liverpool fans know Gonalons more than the others

Piss off, Neitsab

Rémi Garde

Read Rémi Gaillard at first glance, how funny would that have been!
