In which case he's just predicted the equivalent of Arsenal getting massacred by Portsmouth...

Maybe he knows something we don't

off to check out some other websites.

"... um, that was a 13 in that last post by Psycorp, wasn't it?"

it's true the great Coupet was injured against Fenerbahce (out 2-3 months aie!!) but Puydebois is an excellent 2nd keeper; Joel Bats is keeper coach so OL gets so many good keepers they need to farm 'em out. 13 goals seems excessive.


"Lens 1-3 Lyon (Juninho Paulista)"

I think it's clear Andy means Juninho Permanbucano, as the other fellow plays for a club called Celtic.


You can try "l'equipe" for info; only in french but then, stats are stats. football > france> ligue 1 > clubs... will get you to a page where you can get info about all the teams, including links to the club websites . Therein, "joueurs utilises" gives you individual stats. I admit it's not as easy or useful as the BBC; football betting is not a big pastime in france so crunching statistics isn't so important. An interesting table is "notes de l'equipe". all players playing more than 45 min. in a match are subjectively marked from 1 to 10 for their performance and at the end of the year there's a little trophy for best keeper, defender etc...

btw, if you speak french, l'equipe gives you more information for other european leagues, and more easily, than the BBC does. Links for everyone, and of course the major spanish, italian and german clubs have english versions of their sites.

Hello Folks,
Semaine Treize, here we go...

Lens 0-2 Lyon - Frau
Monaco 2-0 AC Ajaccio - Adebayor
Toulouse 1-1 Metz - Moreira
St Etienne 1-1 Nice - Piquionne
PSG 1-2 Marseille - Koke

dessus de bouteille

Well unless Psycorp comes back and says that that was meant to be a 1 or a 3, the 13 will stand

I thought I'd got something wrong... thanks riotact! I always get which Juninho is which muddled up... especially when both their other names begin with P ...

Lens 0 Lyon 2 - Juninho
Monaco 2 AC Ajaccio 0 - Adebayor
Toulouse 1 Metz 2 - Tum
St Etienne 0 Nice 1 Vahirua
PSG 0 Marseille 2 - Bamogo

Only seven sets of predictions in by 7pm on Friday night. Have I scared everyone away or something

Lens 1-2 Lyon (Frau)
Monaco 3-0 AC Ajaccio (Adebayor)
Toulouse 0-0 Metz
St Etienne 0-1 Nice (Vahirua)
PSG 2-0 Marseille (Pauleta)

a last note about juninho: i was definitely going to pick him to score for OL, but after the fenerbahce match i wondered if he might not get a rest... and he is. i'm glad i waited!

Lens 0-0 Lyon
Monaco 2-0 AC Ajaccio (Kallon)
Toulouse 1-0 Metz (Moriera)
St Etienne 0-1 Nice (Agali)
Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Marseille (Pauleta)

Hmmm..........some of my results seem to be the same as Mr Ormondroyd's, pure coincidence i can assure you

Lens - 1 v 3 - Lyon (Malouda)

Monaco - 2 v 0 - Ac Ajaccio (Kallon)

Toulouse - 1 v 1 - Metz (Leca)

St Etienne - 0 v 1 - Nice (Agali)

PSG - 1 v 2 - Marseille (Koke)

And GD........may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch, and may your arms to too short to scratch...........its been far too much like hard work this week

Peace be upon you though

Harumph

Watch it sonny-boy, or you might just get shown a yellow card and be docked two points


Lens 0-1 Lyon (Frau)
Monaco 3-0 AC Ajaccio (Kallon)
Toulouse 1-0 Metz (Eduardo)
St Etienne 1-1 Nice (Piquionne)
PSG 1-3 Marseille (Marlet)

LENS1 LYON 3....Frau
MONACO 4 AC AJAC 0...Agalie
TOLOUSE 1 METZ 1,,,frei
ST ETIENE 0 NICE 0
PSG 1 MARSEILLE 3...Bamogo

I'm late I'm late - must hurry - look at the time - look at the time..

Lens 0 - 2 Lyon (Frau)

Monaco 3 - 0 AC Ajaccio (Adebayur)

Toulouse 2 - 0 Metz (Eduardo)

St Etienne 1 - 2 Nice (Agali) _ The Nice were indeed a band featuring Keith Emerson - though I forget the rest of the line-up and can't lay my hands on my vinyl at the moment. However if memory serves they were a 5 piece and thus should be able to build up an early lead then hold on against a spirited fight-back from the youngsters.

PSG 2 - 3 Marseille (Pauleta)

Folk can rest assured that four out of five of next week's list will be dead easy to research. The fifth one, well that's a special request, so blame Number Six if you have troubles with it.

Hope this is acceptable but Yakus's pc is buggered and he asked me to post his predictions for him. Here they are:-

Lens 1 Lyon 1 (Frau)
Monaco 3 Ajaccio 0 (Saviola)
Toulouse 1 Metz 0 (Moreira)
St. Etienne 0 Nice 0
PSG 2 Marsaille 2 (Pauleta)

You mock now, but wait until that 13th goal goes in....

I *knew* there was a reason I shouldn't have got so wasted last night... another deadline missed, another zero-scoring week.

Given that there have been so few turn up for this week, I'll accept predictions all the way up to kick-off at 7pm tonight.
